There are malls, markets, things like that. These are just the front end for the customers to buy things, the retailer.

As you said there are centralisation behind. Either through the same company managing all those different malls, or through Wholesalers working in the background selling to a lot of retailers.

Here is a video comparing Nobara and Fedora. Not sure if it would be very helpful, but it may show what Nobara is changing. https://youtu.be/5eKSQT5mV-c

Also 3 months ago, so maybe some elements have changed slightly.

On Linux you're not stuck on a single theme. On gnome there is a plethora of extensions allowing to move the task bar as you want. Display the apps on it or not... And plenty more customization.

Gnome has however limited a lot the theming of the desktop (window color, border...). And now it's a bit clunky to install themes other than the default ones.

KDE has more customizations and settings, so much that it could be overwhelming at first.

There are also some differences with the file manager. I prefer Nautilus from Gnome (you can still install it on kde, tho it won't have the same look as the other apps).

And the KDE disk manager may as well be trash in my hands. I can't even setup a mount at boot without getting errors. So I just install Gnome Disks as I find it pretty easy to use.

on Linux if you have multiple partitions, and you want to set a shortcut to a secondary partition, you need to mount the partition (activate it). In Linux a partition is like a folder. It is mounted to a folder.

You can't rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it's in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.

You answered it yourself. You have no idea how these fuel canisters work. And not even how dangerous they are.

Hint : they are extremely safe even at high temperature.

Even if it takes more space, there are still benefits over biofuels.

The hydrogen can be created using electricity. Currently it is not very efficient, but only uses electricity and water. Electricity can come from de carbonated (/low carbon) sources.

And a fuel cell will use that hydrogen to generate electricity by combining the hydrogen into water with outside oxygen.

For the biofuel, it's a big climate hoax. The issue with bio fuels, is that the energy required to produce them is huge. It required bacteria producing carbon emissions, and the fuel also produced carbon emissions. Whatever entered that plan, will get out, and even more because of the transformation. (i don't remember which video from Undecided with Matt Ferell was about biofuels). Tho maybe it could be used for something. To get slightly less carbon emissions than with normal fuel.

There may also be a solution with batteries. However the energy density for them is lower compared to hydrogen. Tho, there may be some battery innovation I saw passing by which could be pretty interesting.

I don't know about the privacy in UK, but privacy on Lemmy is... Pretty much inexistent.

Tho maybe the email Adresses could maybe be stored privately somehow.

My instance compuverse.uk runs most of the time. Tho the servers are not giant, and there was already an issue where the storage filled up completely before an upgrade had to be made.

Tho now it would be running on a separate storage dedicated server which may allow for more storage.

Also the rules on this instance makes it pretty much compatible with every other instance and so would avoid the defederation by other instances. (please just don't put porn or gore in the all).

Outside of steam, there are community scripts with Lutris and other alternatives.

But sometimes they don't work well.

There are also ways to play epic games and gog games easily through the Heroic games Launcher and Wine-GE.

(wine and winetricks and 2 other wine components need to be installed).

The best fasle advertising on privacy/security rather?

Their goal is blocking any other advertising method so only they can collect and use the data of their users for advertising.

Security? They can (or could) be hacked, with a backdoor, just with an invisible message...

So most of their reputation is just marketing (which goes pretty near to false advertising ex : the your data stays on your device... Which is just false).

Tho they may have a reputation of refusing to give data to public organizations (or at least depending on the data).

On my instance, the owner said that just the cached text content is something like 25GB.

So it's very storage intensive as it seems Lemmy doesn't delete the cached content.

I didn't even place or follow r/place changes. Just go on there, look at memes and how the map has evolved since.

But still just moving around is very bandwidth intensive.
