If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.

But until then...

Oops - I thought I had put a link on it 🤦 Fixed now!

I installed Mint in a cheap mini PC to self host, and have had problems with external USB storage drives.

They kept dismounting, until I realised you have to give them a permanent mount location (why?!).

And they kept losing power because Linux had a default setting that USB devices 'auto suspend' after some time. This took ages to diagnose, and command line stuff to fix 😔

Other than that it seems to be a solid distro.

Also - I think these distros should make it simpler to partition the SSD on install. I used to easily do that when building Windows PCs but it was not clear I was making the right choices with Mint, so I went with the default.

Oh.... I thought it meant that those cookie banners were 'false consent' and therefore render the data collected to be illegal?

Please provide more info - I would like to learn more about this subject!

If I have to wade through pages of "legitimate interest" nonsense, unticking them, then I'm not using your site.

Oh wow, you're right!

I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?

It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r

Totally. And that "legitimate interest" nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦

Damn, I hadn't even thought about the environment impact! Is there any research quantifying that?

I do support them already 😊

But you're right about this government - they just got exposed for being corrupt with big tech https://archive.is/DlUeE

  2. Clown is elected so Billionaire Koch gets clown using terrible business sense to wreck global economy
  3. As a result, billionaire Koch loses a butt ton of money in the stock market
 

I've joined Lemmy.ml. Someone sent me a link to a video posted on Feddit.nl - I thought I could log in and upvote/comment using my Lemmy.ml credentials. Wrong!

Why is this? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the fediverse. But I thought that they were all federated so you can interact with all instances??!
