I made !antisocialmedia@piefed.social for all the drama at social media companies

PieFed has a trans theme, btw

Have you looked into using zram?

Actually pretty close to how it was.

People on the radio keep talking about this revolutionary information superhighway which sounds grand but no one you know has an internet connection but you read in the newspaper that in a town nearby there is one in a public library. You travel there and find a single computer. There are no instructions and none of the staff know how it works. When you ask to see “the internet” they show you an icon to click and leave you to it. You click it, strange noises happen for a bit then stop and nothing happens, the computer seems frozen. Maybe you broke it but then literally 10 minutes later it un-freezes and you see a list on the screen:

• alt.binaries.mom
• alt.binaries.misc
• alt.binaries.warez
• alt.binaries.etc
• alt.binaries.warez.flightsim
• and so on, hundreds of them
• comp.lang.c
• comp.lang.perl
• comp.lang.prolog
• blah blah gibberish

Ok none of that sounds like an “information superhighway” so close the window and go back home.

Lemmy has moderators and admins which remove CSAM. Plebbit was intentionally built in such a way that no one can remove anything. Extensive discussion of this at the OP’s original post https://lemmy.world/post/23704373. Ctrl-F for “censorship”

Something tells me the “I don’t host CSAM I just host posts that embed/link to CSAM (from other hosts)” argument won’t hold up in court.

Heavy nostalgia with this one

Human-readable names are a critical feature.

See if your library has “How Linux Works” - https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Linux-Works-Brian-Ward/dp/1718500408

YouTube is usually the first thing I open on first boot of a new machine. That way I know if the sound is working, network is working and video drivers are ok all at once.

I proactively remove disinfo accounts from piefed.social. Banned.

They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.

Correct.

Back when SSDs were expensive and tiny they used to sell hybrid drives which were a normal sized HDD with a few gigs of SSD cache built in. Very similar to your proposal. When I upgraded from a HDD to a hybrid it was like getting a new computer, almost as good as a real SSD would have been.

I say go for it.

If it’s all Steam games then you could just move games around as needed, no need for a fancy automatic solution.

Very misleading article. They’re not shutting down wordpress.org, just the registration of new accounts, plugin, etc

I use PyCharm for work but it’s not FOSS or beginner-friendly. PyCharm does have a free community edition which is awesome if you’re mostly into FOSS for the $0 aspect.

• https://thonny.org/ - for the first few days of learning and easy setup
• https://www.spyder-ide.org/ - especially good for data science
• https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/ - full-featured general purpose IDE

Codium is fine and technically FOSS although it’s association with Microsoft taints it for anyone who still hates MS from the bad old days. Also it’s an Electron app.

They’re deindexing ALL news, not just the union website.

Although, the penalty for non-compliance is 10% of global turnover which would amount to close to £0 for most.

I would need to be paid to stay in a hospital a moment longer than necessary. Using a market-based supply & demand framing of healthcare doesn’t really make sense because it’s a service that nearly everyone who uses it wants to use the minimum possible. It’s not candy where people will take as much as they can get. Everyone wants to get well ASAP.
