I listened to it a LOT in my teens. They’re amazing.

Hybrid - bri’ish breakbeat band. Really really good for people who like a darker (as in moody) sounding electronic music.

Raon Lee, mostly know for her covers, but her originals are also great. Next one below!

It doesn’t make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

It’s really not primed for development. I’d use Arch, Fedora, openSUSE or Debian for that.

Being opt-out instead of opt-in is icky. I don’t have much faith in RedHat related projects after the recent debacles (RHEL trying to kill off Alma and Rocky and Fedora’s project manager being fired with no replacement).

As a Fedora user, I’m really tired of being disappointed. Gonna wait for my vacation to switch to Debian.

Yup, Meta is planning to implement ActiveHub (the protocol Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin and others use to communicate with each other) and federate with us. We’re better off blocking them.

I also expect lemmy.ml to defederate since Dessalines and Nutomic admin it. I have an account on Lemmygrad as a “safe house” from enshittification, but I intend to keep it mainly for my studies and be able to still use this one for general crap (hello Genshin Impact).

Hope lemmy.world admins don’t be too naive about Meta.

And we’re now getting the Meta shills as well, wanting everyone to federate with Threads because “what harm is there in federating with a fascist mega corporation? You’re being too judgmental and intolerant”

“Boo hoo tankies bad, but big corpo run by billionaires who spread misinformation and intentionally act to topple legitimate governments in favor of their fascist agenda are akshually good”

Arguing with people like you (corporate shill) is a waste of time, so I’d rather have fun instead.

Gaming through Steam/Proton is easy and performant, but some games have invasive anti-cheat that won’t work on Linux, and some game companies turn Linux support purposely off.

Photoshop and Lightroom both probably work through Wine (or maybe even Proton), but it isn’t guaranteed. Best option is to work with alternatives. I switched from PS to Krita years ago and have been happier than ever with the switch.

There are many resources on Linux software that are alternatives (and often compatible with) windows-only software.

Mint is right there. Very foolproof as far as I’ve tested with family and friends.

Was about to say just that. I’ll love to reject people that only follows big corpos.

Yeah, I follow him for his privacy and FOSS content, but some of his takes can be quite… controversial, and those attract some questionable folks.

You kind Sir/Lady/Gentleperson are making the fediverse a better place with this help. Thanks a bunch, gonna definitely ease my attempts at eventually self-hosting!

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I’m still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I’ve already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
