We need not only to have the kids of today to learn digital literacy and privacy rights, but also their parents. I'm really low-profile about my personal life, and I like that my family is also like that.

I'm so damn glad I helped my whole family move over to Linux years ago.

I'd install it even if it's LFS

You can probably slap KDE on it and call it a day. Plasma has become less resource-intense in since about the 5.0 version (and remember to turn Akonadi off if you don't use it).

Thanks! It'll be really nice to see how many people are giving Lemmy a good try.

I used it as my main distro for about a year, and moved on right before the "abandonment saga" happened. It was a nice and performant distro, but lacked some stuff I needed, mostly support from a few projects and apps I needed to use.

I wouldn't recommend it as a main distro for at least 5 years after what happened, but would keep an eye out to use on a spare machine or a VM.

Nowadays I'd either settle on openSUSE Tumbleeweed for rolling-release. I'm personally more insterested in stability though (and not having to update stuff every 2 days or so), so I'm going team Debian.

Yup, that's the point. Most of the people who moved away from Reddit are the people who spent the most time there interacting and contributing to content, and those are the most affected by Huffman's crap. (edit) Most of the people who remained are lurkers, and if a platform only has lurkers, then who's producing the content? It's obviously an hyperbole, but it skews the userbase even more towards having more lurkers than posters, and it sets a trend.(/edit)

To be honest, I didn't even use any 3rd party Reddit apps (even though I was a serial commenter on things I had interest) before coming to Lemmy at the beginning of the protests. I only did so out of my own "moral" choice and because I'm a FOSS enthusiast.

Congrats on the milestone! @[email protected] would it be possible (if you haven't done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?

Those Lego Pac-Man Arcade, Boutique Hotel and Orchid kits have my wallet running for its dear life :')

I was so in love with the icon I completely missed the "made with AI" part hahaha. Doesn't take away from how good it looks though, and from your good taste in color and style choices.

They all are already on WhatsApp though. All my phone contacts are WhatsApp contacts already (and have been before I added them).

If I need to interact with anyone who desires ultmost privacy I'm not idiot enough to ask for their phone number, and they'd be really out of their mind to share if that's the case.

But sure, I guess a cousin or smth might want to slap me in the face for "selling" data they already sold themselves years prior.

Dreamcast and both PSP and PSVita. I was a Sonic fan, and in the case of Sony's portables, they were mini powerhouses.
