Let’s get normies aboard the Linux train by creating more distros with celebrity branding: imagine Taylor Switft Linux or BTS Linux.

Richard Stallman style!

How about just “straight”?

There are no recommendation algorithms for content, you are one! Search for communities based on your interests and subscribe to them. The Communities view of your home instance and Lemmy Explorer are good for that. Because Lemmy is decentralized, all discussion isn’t centered around one site like on Reddit, which may at first give an impression of emptiness.

I also wrote an extensive guide about Lemmy few weeks ago.

Welcome!

He’s getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he’s also serving as a “celebrity role model” for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!

Another variation of that is claiming how getting sick repeatedly is somehow beneficial for getting a strong immune system. That ignores research, as children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use throughout childhood. That also ignores viruses for which a durable immunity isn’t currently possible, such as COVID.

EDIT: Basically the immunity system doesn’t work like a muscle.

This could be out of Street Fighter.

“Don’t compare yourself to others.” Everyone develops at their own pace. This also helps in building a good self-esteem.

I have also seen Telegram groups dedicated to drug trade migrating to other platforms such as Signal.

Tag this as NSFW!

Millennial

Non-American colors, they are my favorite.

If I were to buy a Steam Deck or similar console, I’d buy a SNES-themed button set for it.

That’s our defence minister Antti Häkkänen, who is here participating remotely in a Nato-Ukraine council meeting with other defence ministers.

As the instance’s owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, !meta@sopuli.xyz and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli’s status.

Why wouldn’t I? We are living in interesting times.

It definitely has to be summer. Around that time I feel very social.

If Microsoft stuck with what it already does, it would be better. They already have cloud streaming technology which makes playing games on their ecosystem possible on any screen. Having a separate handheld console would complicate things. I just don’t see the appeal.

It’s pretty concerning, as health authorities in the USA don’t seem to do enough to prevent the situation from getting worse. The dairy industry doesn’t want its profits to be touched, and several politicians seem to be more concerned about the economic impacts. Various far-right groups basically created the framework for their anti-science actions with the COVID pandemic and various anti-vaxx groups that existed before it. Therefore they will double down in their efforts to resist any kinds of mitigation efforts because of “freedom” and “do not comply”. Hell, many of them are buying raw milk in hopes of “gaining immunity” and of course “owning the libs”!

It could be said that I am already preparing. When at work, doing groceries, hitting the gym and so on, I am wearing an FFP2 mask (equivalent to N95). This is exceptional here in Finland, where many people have drunk the Kool-Aid of “COVID being over” fed by the THL, our equivalent to your CDC. The only people I have seen masking actively are people collecting bottles from streets and parks! The THL has done similar blunders about public health messaging and “studies”.

I am not losing my night’s sleep because of this, but who knows what happens in the coming months?

Amen, Sopuli wouldn’t federate with such instance either. It would introduce too much problems. Bad idea.
