Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?
I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about
While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide
This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)
It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I’m not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved
Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you’re hoping to build with more people?
Glad you got it working!
If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy
Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site
As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)
Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.
We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.
But if you say the word “patriarchy”, men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.
If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.
Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men’s issues in addition to women’s, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women’s issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.
Holy SHIT Godot is moving fast, the page is like a mile long!?
On fedora I generally dont need the terminal unless something breaks. Which if I’m being honest with myself probably breaks because I tinkered with stuff via the terminal 🥲 (I’m bad at computer)
You can do both :) you’re right though, direct action is always best!
Protest is a great way to start dipping your toes in the water and connect with other people though
To add to all the other answers about what to use and whatnot: try a few distros and desktops out by putting them on a flash drive and booting from the flash drive (this is the same process for typical installations)
Distro, or who the linux based OS is built, updated, and distributed by, mostly matters long term, but something that will keep working and be stable (in the colloquial sense, not technical sense like for servers), and that has a friendly and welcoming community, are definitely things to look for. Mint and ubuntu both have stellar reputations in both of these regards, though many folks (including me) have issues with decisions being made by the ubuntu folks these days. Fedora is pretty stable but has less of a big community with support for new people, and manjaro has a lot of newer users and is built around serving newer linux users, but the project is sometimes run in an awkward way that can cause issues if you’re not choosing to manage your packages with intentionality (thats what I hear anyway). Debian is rock solid, and I dont know much about the community, but the versions of software available in the repos may be old unless you’re installing a flatpak
Keep in mind, not all distros will support every desktop, so you may find your chosen desktop isnt available on the distro you find most interesting. You can theoretically install whatever desktop on whatever distro, but as a new user I dont reccomend doing this.
Definitely try out a few different desktops. “Desktop environments” are bundles of software that make up the desktop graphical user interface, and will make a big difference in the look and feel, and general user experience that you have on linux. There are a bunch of options- the two biggest projects are GNOME and Kde plasma. Gnome has a reputation for being more mac-like out of the box and has very specific workflows and usage patterns, and kde, more windows like and flexible to what the user wants. But both are customizable. Kde has lots of built in settings and options, gnome offers very few, but supports user made extensions that change the desktops look and behavior. Give both a try and try out the customizations for each (play with kde settings, see if you can make it more what you want. Install some gnome extensions, see what the options look like). Cinnamon is another desktop thats very windows-like but has a great user experience. Xfce is a well run project but predominantly aimed at being lightweight so it runs well on older hardware, you’re less likely to be in its target demographic
My understanding is that rossman actually isnt involved anymore, but I haven’t followed things very closely. Someone brought up him no longer being involved last time folks were discussing issues with futo here on lemmy.
I switched back to heliboard because of the issues 🤷🏻♂️
Its worth acknowledging that Orion is proprietary, its based on WebKit but the browser isnt open source if thats relevant to you
I for one appreciate your integrity in trying to set things up such that they’re working properly before you pass the machine off to someone else
Best of luck my friend!
From the other thread it seems it’ll just be disabled by default, and enableable if wanted

Anyone wanna share fav RSS syndicated blogs or content? I have a couple things I like (Erin kissanne’s blogs, and a little gaming blog), but mostly my feed is just a couple of political outlets I trust or respect
Id love to hear if there are any neat things worth checking out to add to my RSS reader!
Suprised folks are suddenly engaging with this again, did something happen thats been putting this in front of people? Radiofreefedi has sadly shut down in the last year
The indie beat is now the same kind of idea, but I haven’t found as much stuff there I’m really into https://theindiebeat.fm/
My dead dad could use it and he was a moron.
I really was not prepared for that sentence 😅
Thats not because of transistor, thats because sadly radiofreefedi stopped operating sometime in the last year. The indie beat now serves the same purpose, but I’ve not found as much stuff I’m into there
Hope you’re having a lovely day :)
My understanding is that the restriction comes from the great depression, when the government was worried about people poaching deer and decimating the population by hunting more than was allowed
And then we just never got rid of the exception.
Similar to how short rifles were restricted to create additional charges for bootleggers transporting alcohol during the prohibition, since being in a vehicle really benefits from having a shorter gun so bootleggers would cut length off their barrels so they could more easily handle their guns in the vehicle
