Wouldn’t that mean China and US would be at war? I don’t think the Chinese would want that.

Really? What do people have against Debian?

Fedora and Alpine have no chill lol

Ah okay. Then I simply misunderstood you.

It is indeed very cool how the Fediverse works. Everything is connected in one way or another other.

Pretty sure both of the original admins of Fosstodon stepped downed.

If the mastodon instance you are on doesn’t know about LibreOffice’s account, then it won’t show. You will have to search for their handle/username like this: @libreoffice@fosstodon.org

This is mostly a problem on smaller instances. The bigger an instance is, the more connections to other instances it has.

I don’t think you can 😫

Check out the pinned posts at !peertube@lemmy.wtf for an instance to register on and channels to follow.

A small correction about PeerTube. It is not “torrent-based”.

Get a power station with built-in UPS. I use an ALLPOWERS.

That pretty much just comes down to the Linux kernel being used afaik.

So figure out which version of the kernel supports your GPU and compare it to the one that Mint ships with.

You can cross post it?

Is nature trying to tell us something? …nah

I just can’t get over the name change from Revolt to Stoat, but at least a stoat is cute AF.

I mean sure, if they have a specific need for MacOS, but otherwise I think it’s a bit disingenuous to recommend such an expensive platform.

It’s funny to think about, because I have the exact opposite experience. I think it really comes down to the type of person though.

Most of the people I help (with IT) is people who is not that comfortable on a tablet and would like the next step up. A cheap laptop, with bigger screen and a physical keyboard. Used for banking, writing, browsing. Nothing that really can’t be done on a tablet as well.

All of these people use Linux. Mostly Mint or ElementaryOS, depending on their preference.

If we add gaming into the mix, it becomes a little more “complicated”. This really depends on the person. I have family/friends who game on Linux, but I also know one who didn’t last that long using Linux, because it simply didn’t fit their needs.

In what way do you define “just needing a computer to use when they need it”?

I have several family members and friends who know absolutely nothing about computers. They all use Linux and the amount of IT-support needed has never been lower.

I guess that’s a start.

My only issue with .ml that it’s pretty much lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net in disguise. They are simply not being honest about who the instance is for.

Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have anything against any of them, but they should really just be honest who lemmy.ml is for. Just like lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net is.

Lemmygrad.ml first rule is: No capitalist apologia / anti-communism.

This is pretty much a hidden rule on Lemmy.ml.

I remember a long time ago when Nutomic was hosting peertube.social. There, the rules was very honest and you knew what you signed up for in the instance. So why not just do that now as well?

Hint: look at Dessalines modlog
