Maybe he’ll be staying there? They could call it “Mar-a-Uh-Ohh”?

Seems to be working OK for me on FF with Ublock and Privacy Badger running.

I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.

Obligatory I suppose…

…although, to be fair, a lot of distro’s just kinda sort it out for you.

The thing is, there’s “iwd” and “wpa_supplicant”. You use either one or the other, but not both. Sources like the Gentoo handbook will tell you that but, not all Wiki’s do as good a job of pointing that out <…looking directly at you Arch…>.

“Man got so stuck in glory hole firefighters had to pull him until he was free”

This would have to be the opposite of a click bait headline…

NIce! Thanks :)

I don’t know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver’s seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.

You can’t. Furthermore, the consequences of “people pleasing” and “conflict avoidance” can do far more damage than the occasional bad rep. In fact, if you’re consistent about setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries, you’ll ultimately gain more respect in the long run.

Spray expanding foam would be easiest and you can trim it after the fact for a cleaner look.

To be honest, I don’t really know much about the people behind either of these sites. That being said, Jester is pretty active on CoSo. I originally gave CoSo a try because Twitter was beginning to go downhill and I was looking for an alternative. I tried a few, CoSo had a lot of neat features and impressed me enough that I was even willing to pay the 4.99/month for the “Pro Account”.

As for this site (kbin.social), I was looking for a Reddit alternative. This site reminds me of what Reddit used to be and, for that reason, looked better than Reddit does these days. I known nothing of Lemmy and had never even heard of it (him?) before finding this site.

In both cases, you just don’t see the bot-farm-generated trolling that loads up the mainstream sites. The stuff that’s just out there to get us arguing with each other. Also nice to not see endless ads. Maybe not completely free of trolls, etc., but, since it’s not as prevalent, it’s easier to filter out.

I think this site and Counter.Social are working out to be my primary online haunts these days…
