Was Mint with KDE

Now Kubuntu since Mint discontinued their KDE flavour. (Yes you can install KDE but its a hassle to get everything seemless)

honestly, would rather use a linux ~ libreelec/es based device

android is just wasted overhead when it comes to emulation

War in Ukraine is still very much covered in the print/digital news. My two go-tos (the guardian and the bbc) both have dedicated section for the Russian Invasion.

I don’t watch television news, but I can imagine there is less coverage on that simply because there is not much suitable video content to be broadcast and what there is is usually several days, or even weeks old for operational reasons.

So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

Or would you fight back?

I don’t think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done

as far as i have seen (as a subscriber to c/piracy) there is no links to pirated content and they are very clear that that is not allowed

the vast majority of the discussion is on morals of piracy, anti piracy measures, etc etc

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

Yeh, little worried dev is gonna get a huge bill from Reddit

It’s been very quiet on that front

A lot of people (myself included) are using a modded version of Infinity that allows you to put in your own API key.

I can’t decide. I have used Infinity for years on Reddit. Been using connect and liftoff for Lemmy.

In some ways it feels so warm and familiar to be on Lemmy in infinity, but in some ways, I’m thinking, it’s Lemmy, not Reddit, it shouldn’t feel like Reddit.

I’m very torn

honestly, when reading comments like this i think maybe pre-emptive is a good idea.

Lemmyworld is forever going to be referred to as the instance full of pedos, transphobes and fascists that tried its hardest not to defederate an explicitly nazi instance while pulling this shit with a soft dirtbag left instance that spawned from the chapo podcast of all things.

Like, what a fucking reputation to give yourselves so early on.

and most of the comments are in that vein

I’m so confused by this.

as in, desktop pc’s, laptops etc, NOT mobile

yeh, the actual utc time is much more straightforward than +2

Working for me now.

just needs “alexandrite” in the header changing to lemmy.world i think, and maybe the logo changing

rate limited and banned from server message for me as well.

Combination of constan tleft sided subscriptions list, and posts in overlay mode, really is a pleasure to use

Instances can just defederate with those servers

I think of it as internet cafe’s.

You can choose which cafe you want to use, but once you then connect, you all can view and share the same information.

I can talk one on one with the other people sitting in my cafe, and each cafe may have its own set of rules and regulations over what you can do, how much the coffee is etc, but once logged in we can still share information with people in other cafes…

They are essentially liberal, if a little left sided of centre, but I think they are the only UK newspaper that does not publicly support any political parties.

They are literally the only UK daily newspaper not owned by some rich owner or conglomerate, and about the only newspaper (along with the observer) that does not publicly support one of the two main political parties.

And 2018 study found the guardian was by far the most trusted of the uk daily’s, and second only to the bbc as a news source https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2018/10/30/western-europeans-under-30-view-news-media-less-positively-rely-more-on-digital-platforms-than-older-adults/

but yes, im a Guardian reader so maybe biased. but theres a reason I read them, and not another.

reading their update today and ther impression that any refederation will be “weeks and months” then i think we should defederate.

while immediate re-federation is just bluntly off the table with the rudimentary state of Lemmy’s moderation tools, we now have a pretty good idea of the roadmap to refederating with them. we think we’ll eventually be able to do this, although we don’t have a timetable on when yet.

we’re also now collaborating with him on how to move forward–and in the weeks and months to come we’ll be pushing to expedite the process of developing some of the necessary tools. https://beehaw.org/post/594843

its just confusing to have 4 of the top 9 communities on the community list be ones we cant actually interact with.
