It probably greatly depends on what you plan to do with your instance.
My instance is just used by me and occasionally my partner and some friends. Running it costs me nothing aside from whatever portion my energy bill is increased by having the container active in my home server. I already had registered my domain for other things, but a domain is $10-$12USD/year, which is basically nothing.
The person posted the same thing in multiple communities and got very little feedback aside from a bunch of downvotes. I was trying to help them by explaining why their approach is getting a bad response. I apologize for coming off like an asshole, that wasn’t my goal at all.
It sounds like you just need to go do some simple searches in the app stores for icon packs that you like. What exactly do you need help with?
I’m guessing all the downvotes are because nobody wants to be your search agent, and the way you’ve phrased this makes it sound like you’ve put very little effort into finding things for yourself.
Since many other comments have focused heavily on technological inventions, I think it makes sense to add some notable cultural impacts on society as well. As with most of the technological inventions mentioned, cultural forces also don’t come out of nowhere and arguably have been around for a lot longer than 100 years, but I think it’s pretty obvious that society within the past 100 years has been and still is being massively affected by the following concepts that did not originate in the USA:
Especially considering that Yuri Gagarin’s flight inspired generations of people all over the world after him to a probably immeasurable extent. If the OP wanted “global society-altering”, then that certainly qualifies.
It does begin to feel a bit like you’re moving the goal posts for what you consider “world-changing” as you comment more on this post. If the first man in space and high speed rail are “just incremental progress”, then why do rock music and AI count for you? Everything humans have ever done is accomplished incrementally using the accomplishments of prior human ingenuity.
My partner and I live separately, and we use Colota (F-Droid link) to send location data to our individual self-hosted Home Assistant instances.
Our Home Assistant instances are linked together which lets us share our locations with each other.
This might be a bit much to set up just for location sharing, but if you’re using home automation anyway, it’s nice to have it all tied together.
I don’t know for sure what that person is referring to, but I believe the default in GNOME is for alt-tab to switch applications, which is a bit unintuitive. There is a simple built-in option to change it to switch by window instead, which is probably usually what one would expect. To me, that’s not something that needs “fixing”, it’s just a default to change, which is perfectly fine.
This can be a great idea, if it’s done well. For example, the StreetComplete app has achievements to encourage contributions to the OpenStreetMaps project:
Sounds like instance C might have federation turned off. I know there’s a server setting for that, anyhow.
How would using NixOS have made OP’s system immune to the critical hardware issues that they discovered were the root cause making their computer fail to boot?
I don’t see this one mentioned often, but Frogatto & Friends is a lot of fun if you like platformers with an old-school aesthetic. I keep it on my Steamdeck to play a few levels every now and then, it’s a smooth game with a nice feeling to the controls.

What has this to do with degoogling?
FWIW, if you self-host Adguard, you can do those things without needing to bother with touching individual hosts files. It’ll also then just work for every device on your network. Create your own domain and expose adguard via a subdomain and you can just point your phone at your DNS server while you are on external networks too.
I despise tow operators (unless they exclusively work for repair shops) and their lesser cousins, car booters.
I’m also a “fuck cars” adherent, but tow operators are cop collaborators, and car booters are assisting them both to steal and ransom people’s personal property at the behest of capital.
Nothing is too on-the-nose for capitalists. Look at Palantir.
I can’t tell if there’s a way to deal with this from the screenshot, but that looks like an accessibility nightmare. How is a blind person supposed to accomplish that task?
What if I don’t have a mobile phone? What if I do, but the camera is broken? What if… eh, fuck Google.
Like you, I am excited about it for the sake of the community, though I’m hard pressed to find any reason to play games on my Android phone as it is. Android games are either ad infested junk that isn’t interesting to me, or open source and playable on Linux already.
I’ve messed around with Waydroid because it sounds cool in theory, but every time I get it installed, I’m like “now what?” I can’t think of anything to actually do with it, so I imagine it’ll be the same for Lepton.
Still, very cool to have the options, and I’m happy that Linux is getting more attention as a preferred platform such that gaming companies recognize the value in supporting translation layers for it.
I’m not even sure how you’d figure that out anyway. At this point, the “non AI” content by influencers is likely stuff they or their production team wrote using AI. Everything I accidentally end up seeing that was posted on the big social media platforms feels to me like regurgitated algorithmic AI influenced slop, regardless of whether a meat sack is the performance puppet or not.
Most (maybe all?) of these items listed in the settings page for private spaces are differences from a work profile.
I definitely require my work profile apps to be able to run in the background at times, so a private space is not going to cut it, unfortunately.
