Lemmy is my main social media. I don’t use anything else. Occasionally, I still get reddit in my search results though.

Oh, I also use Discord.

Cool! It’s the main way I install GUI apps now.

I’m on a laptop. Arch, btw.

I went here: https://superpractica.org/play/online/

I can get past the godot loading screen. I see “Super Practica”, “Play topics”, “Info”, etc. But clicking doesn’t work. Keyboard input doesn’t work.

Hm. I couldn’t start the game. I tried Chrome and Librewolf. It’s stuck on the welcome screen. Looks interesting though!

Librewolf is a pretty easy drop in replacement. Although you may want to adjust some of the privacy settings, if you’re having issues with websites, they may be too strict.

Nobody move or the bunny gets it!

I wish I could upvote this more. Even field workers are required to provide documents to get a job. They also receive paper checks, with taxes taken out, just like the rest of us. So they’re actually paying into a system they can’t use.

I know some now legal immigrants, who were granted amnesty in the 80s, who support or feel indifferent about the mass deportations…

Sadly, something I’ve realized that is part of our United Statian culture is that we believe: “If I suffered, then others must suffer as well.” We are not a kind or compassionate country. We do not care about our neighbors.

Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.

LOL.

Person tries to make small talk

zymagoras777: OMG. I’m totally offended. What an attention whore!!1

OK, dude. You know you can just ignore the post, right? Just move along.

Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation previously in the US?

the Congress observed them as it conducted business during the American Revolution (defense), directing the Revolutionary War effort, conducting diplomacy with foreign states (foreign relations), addressing territorial issues (cross-jurisdiction crime)

So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.

A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?

Hm… that kinda doesn’t seem too useful, no? What would even be the point of the higher government if you can just completely ignore them locally?

I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

There’s definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn’t think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they’re way cheaper than Loop… soo… idk.

But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates … Just get used to using the package manager

Yeah, package managers are great… but also… for somethings… flatpaks from Flathub/Software Center are also great because those apps get automatically updated in the background, so you don’t even have to think about updating anything.

Steam, Obsidian, and Discord are on Flathub (easy, popular app store for Linux)

Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.

Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?
