At this point, it’s just “the news cycle”; no need to add on anti-trans.

Reading the news in general is just sadness

Yeah, I’d personally try out a live CD for a different distro (probably Puppy) to see how the events show up there.

I do wholeheartedly recommend changing distros though

I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.

That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.

I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.

When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.

Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account

fr! I’ll start calling it “X” when he calls his daughter Vivian

a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles

The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video

I have both. I haven’t tried emulating Switch games on the Steam Deck yet. I use my Switch for Nintendo exclusives and local multiplayer games since it’s less of a pita to set up

I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)

I’ve been using Trixie (Current testing, next stable) for gaming for a couple weeks. Everything (gaming wise) works the same as it did when I was on Arch.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

It’s a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.

Most of my time on Reddit was because of the constant flow of actually new content and “new to me” content (binging subreddits that I had just found out about).

Lemmy only has a constant flow of actually new content and it’s slower.

I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias

Higher pay and a housing market carsh

I’ve been running mine on a cheap (€4/mo) VPS from Hetzner since my ISP doesn’t let me host from a residential IP.

My NAS is loud enough without lemmy; hate to see how loud it’d get with it

They were, but the porn wasn’t popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.
