I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.

Oh. That’s a new one for me.

Had to look at my keyboard to translate that.

It can be a rocky ride if you happen to have hardware that hates Linux. AMD video cards and intel wifi cards are well supported, so sticking with those is like playing this game in the easy mode.

Every OS comes with compromises. With Windows, things generally are well supported, but you get a bunch of annoying features. It’s a package deal.

With Linux, you get a different package with different compromises. There will be new things you need to get familiar with, and that can feel annoying. On the other hand, there’s no bloat or spyware preinstalled on your system. You have free rein to do what you want, and that can feel awesome and terrifying. With the right hardware, things just work out of the box. With the wrong hardware, some tinkering is required, and some hardware will never work. It’s a very different kind of package deal when compared to Windows.

Yeah, the y-axis is unlabeled, but at least the title still tells you what it is: traffic. Doesn’t even have any numbers, so there’s no need to ask about the unit either.

This is more like the graphs made at the marketing department where km becomes KM, because it looks cooler. Same goes of MG, because why not. Is that milligrams or megagrams? Don’t worry about it. I mean, it’s just numbers, so who cares anyway. It’s not like anyone tries to calculate something with them. It’s well known in the marketing department that no human on earth is able do things like that.

Interesting.

Relying on your intuition really is no substitute to actually looking things up. If I had a tattoo on the back of my hand, it should say something like that, so that I won’t forget it. Keeps happening all the time.

On the other hand, the internet is always more than glad to correct my mistakes, so I still see this mess as a win-win for everyone.

IMO link B is the “most original” one. Sort of like an “authoritative source”, if you will.

Abstract art goes way back. I have no idea where to draw the line between traditional and everything else.

Oh, that’s so delightfully clever. Good job!

Username (top right corner), settings, scroll down… Keep on going… There! Sort type: top hour.

If you’re using a mobile client, it’s also somewhere in the settings. Probably buried deep.

Using a blacklist approach seems to be very popular, but here’s an alternative for those who want to try something different.

Subscribe to all the communities you consider worth your time. Change the setting of your default feed so that home=subscribed. When you’re just casually browsing, you’ll see posts from the communities you’ve explicitly approved, so you can be pretty sure that you won’t be seeing stuff you don’t want to be exposed to.

If you want to discover new and interesting places, there are actually a few communities specifically for that purpose. ([email protected] and [email protected]) Just subscribe to those, and your home feed will introduce you to new things from time to time. If you want to see shitposts, politics, memes or a combination of all three, you can always visit the “all” feed.

This should cover it fairly well.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

Interesting. That exact same logo was used by the app that changed its name to Impressia. So, maybe it started as one thing, but later evolved to what it is now. A confusing journey really.

Isn’t that just a pixelfed app? I think Vernissage changed its name recently. Nowadays it’s like Impressia or something like that.

What about the Marxist-Leninist, communist, socialist, anti-capitalist crowd? I don’t know if they hang around on other platforms, but they certainly are present here on Lemmy.

Also, what about sexual and gender minorities? I get the feeling that there are a lot of queer people on Mastodon. Maybe that could be another selection criteria.

Like this:

Are you queer? -> Mastodon

Are you a Marxist? -> Lemmy

Oh yeah. This looks like a much better way to do it. My solution is pretty bare bones by comparison.
