They’re based in Germany from what I know not sure why they were left out

Dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on main desktop.

Windows 11 on work laptop

and Xubuntu (i believe) on a cheap laptop i got a few months back for first experimenting w/ linux on

Did a fresh install of linux mint recently, because of that a good chunk of my software has been FOSS, however, when it comes to all the gaming related stuff I’ve installed (drivers, clients, etc.) its been a hit or miss with more proprietary software then i’d like.

Will say, I’ve struggled for a while to find a good open source music player for local files, I’d love some recommendations (currently trying Rhythmbox but I don’t feel I’ll love it)

I had reddit but was never a big user of it, hopping on only for events or to look stuff up. But once I got into federated services and learned about Lemmy I gave it a go. Pretty sure I’ve used lemmy more then reddit at this point

Better search results on major search engines. Not gonna sit here and act like I know what I’m talking about but the major benefit of Reddit was being able to search a question and add “reddit” to the search and getting relevant results from years of posts.

I’d love to see lemmy reach that point as thats honestly been my only reason to open reddit recently

i fear your best bet really is just using thunderbird or a fork of it and messing with themes.

I did have the same reaction on my first instal of thunderbird but after customizing it a bit i’ve come to like it

Questions: What tactics could be used to move people en masse away from mainstream platforms

Keep letting large platforms run themselves into the ground. Has been working with twitter, each substantial change is causing more and more people to ask why in the hell do I wanna stay. Other then that just push those you know to use alternatives

I was able to easily convince friends to switch to firefox from chrome when they announced all those changes to their ad system

^^^ so many motherboards available not sure what i’d even be looking for

Watch Dogs, just got caught up with other things

Just watched your video on video editing/creation on linux earlier today, great watch

the wooden trims here look beautiful

one of my first html/css projects was a real simple linktree type page. This would be a great entry to learning/trying it out

not an alternative to tracking the shows but libremdb is a imdb front end you might find interesting.

i’ve got a used dell optiplex laying around for any bigger projects so a pi would be for tinkering with and small scale stuff. I didn’t have a good grasp of how slow it would run though thank you

How’s the Pi 3? I was considering the idea of getting one to avoid the crazy prices for newer models

Oh no I can install apps, spotify/netflix work fine and I saw plenty of options. I just noticed facetime wasn’t supported and from scrolling through the most downloaded apps it felt like stuff was missing but I could easily be wrong.

Got this yesterday so I’m still figuring everything out

Poptropica Skullduggery Island

I’m unable to play modern pirate games because i compare them all to this insanely simple flash game and I don’t get the same vibes

i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.

But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.

If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)

using something along the lines of “someone’s gotta do it” always works for me
