    Maybe use it in a VM, or find a supported wifi dongle.

    I would say use it in a VM because you can try different BSD's, and don't have to worry about making mistakes. You can take what you learn and apply it to when you actually install for real.

    The three major BSD's are FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. Read up on both of them, and see which one you think would fit your needs. FreeBSD is probably the one with the biggest community, so it's easier to find help when you need it.

    Maybe there's an alternative to the google forms; ask them directly.

    You'll always hear bad things about different parties. I think PSL is great, and they're growing all the time.

    All of that makes sense to me. I'm not using gentoo though lol. I'd probably keep a debian install around at all times out of habit.....For non systemd linux probably void, and for unix like probably one of the bsd's

    yeah systemd isn't for me, but I don't hate it. On debian so far it hasn't really affected me negatively. After xz vulnerability I see increasing problems with it, and am considering using other distros including void......or one of the bsd's........

    In this specific case I'm not sure two sides of the same coin really works.

    In general yes, you can find SJW's that are libs.

    I used the term in my own post mostly to shit on reactionaries that blame SJW's for everything.

    hahaha I'm using that from now on

    That sub is normally trash, true. But, there's another thread about this topic that's a bit better.

    distro I use (void linux)

    How do you like that compared to other distros?

    To be fair, there was another thread discussing the same topic, and many people were calling out the vaxry, and pointing out the amount of brigading going on. Once any topic like this is brought up, the worst type of people come out......

    This is about a month old, but this distro is now released. It's a completely independent distro from China.

    Maybe this is better asked elsewhere, but question basically in the title. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Mozilla VPN, and if so what they thought about it.

    Seeing mixed reports about the head of wagner rolling into Rostov, Russia. All kinds of other rumors swirling around. Anyone have any good info, or good sources to follow?

    I started using Jeboa about a day and a half ago, no problem. It defaulted to lemmy.ml rather than lemmygrad.ml. No problem as I was browsing anon just to see how I liked the app. Now, when I open the app, nothing is loaded, and changing from local to all still loads nothing. Is this a problem with lemmy.ml? How can I change instances.

    Chimera is an interesting new Linux distro with no systemd, BSD utils instead of gnu, and other unique design choices. Reading about it on lobste.rs, the developer (or one of them) commented: " why does every other linux distribution exist? most of them provide far less added value compared to the others, yet nobody questions their existence, perhaps because they are fundamentally uninteresting it’s always a combination of many smaller factors i just wanted to make a well-rounded and somewhat opinionated system without cruft or sketchy parts, but still featureful and generally usable (no suckless junk), with a low-maintenance but high-correctness package build system and infrastructure, no systemd but taking service management and everything around it seriously (there are exactly 0 other non-systemd distros that do that), easy to bootstrap, architecture-agnostic, and hardened (as much as possible without introducing visible breakage or significant performance loss; the only “linux distro” that really takes this seriously is android, and that’s not general-purpose) none of the individual choices like userland base or libc or whatever are goals in themselves, they are a means to an end or just the most obvious thing given the circumstances"

    I use lemmy and reddit. Reddit can be awful for politics, but it has lots of little niche subs that make using it worthwhile for me. But since reddit is about to die, and I only use lemmy on desktop, I was wondering what android users think is the best lemmy app?

    I don't have telegram, but I have been able to view his/their telegram page since the conflict started. Recently I can't at all. Has anyone else experienced this or can offer insight as to why this happened?

    Interested in hearing everyone's experience using alternative phone OS's. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?
