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 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.

All the NMS comparisons that I've heard are also making me want to play it again too, lol

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

In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they're adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn't contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it's the best option

They do. sorta. It's definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.
Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.

I live close to CNU and never knew this. I probably should have assumed something like this happened considering this whole region is built upon the exploitation of PoC.

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.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

I used Voat back in the day, from the beginning, when it was still called Whoaverse; to right around when it became a Nazi-filled shithole. But that doesn't really count too much since for a good portion of that time, it ran on a modified version of the old open-source reddit code. Whatever it moved to in the short time before the new ""community"" ruined was pretty decent; lemmy-ui
reminds me of it a lot actually.
I used to be big into Imzy too, before it shutdown. Its software was somewhat like new Reddit, but like, actually performant and not a bug-riddled mess. I still miss it, but the lemmyverse, especially Beehaw, is filling that hole.
I've also used the old guard of forum software, I don't know what ran what because I didn't really pay attention to that kind of stuff as a kid.

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 *think* this means that something is wrong with `lemmy-ui`, but I'm not sure what. ETA: I'm eleanorOpossum on beehaw.org. EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT **Cause**: I deleted _everything_ in the pictrs folder after the CSAM raid on lemmy.world. The UI was crashing because it couldn't load the site icon. **Solution**: TL; DR: I ran this `UPDATE site SET icon = NULL FROM local_site WHERE site.id = local_site.site_id;` in the database. My install uses [lemmy-ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible), so my DB was in a docker container. * I ran `docker ps` to find the id of the container running the DB * Then I ran this to connected to it `docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID_FROM_DOCKER_PS pqsql -U lemmy -d lemmy` * Then I searched for my instance in the * And then I ran this SQL expression to set my site icon to `null`; `UPDATE site SET icon = NULL FROM local_site WHERE site.id = local_site.site_id;` Based on [this comment](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1765#issuecomment-1624576183) and the rest of that thread (along with some basic SQL knowledge)

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.

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.
