Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn't know!

Oh okay gotcha. Thanks a lot for spelling it out for me (not sarcasm). I honestly just was confused about the jargon. I watched that one documentary on Thatcher, it seems like that's exactly what her policies did and it earned lots of her high-class friends a lot of money at the expense of the citizens. It seems like I sat through the whole thing without absorbing that one word.

I feel like I have to defend myself a bit and say that it's not that I'm not into politics, it's just that I'm not into the flame-war, pick-a-side, bash the other party sort of politics. I vote in every election and I have a very nuanced view of most issues.

I agree with your analysis on why the free market would not be able to self-regulate in this case. It's funny because I myself have launched a food complaint with the BC admin before, and yeah let's just say the company never would have fixed it themselves in the free market.

I just want to say that as a non-native speaker, the word "liberal" has taken on and been used in so many forms that you can't quite infer the meaning in a lot of cases.

I think it attracts a certain type of person to Lemmy in the first place; someone who would have probably used the original Reddit back in the day

That's awesome! I'm glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with "2" in them haha.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

Hmm, I've never tried Bazzite. Have you tried Ubuntu/can you offer a comparison to it? I play only on Ubuntu and games compatibility is like 80% hit and 20% miss.

I checked out the full 120 list. There's a lot of courses on basic computer use, cyber security, estate planning, and investment. There's a Photoshop basics one. Also I think the 120 number is a bit inflated; there's a lot of duplicates.

Less power on the side of the host computer or the mouse?

Fucking Veggietales predicted this

What do you mean? Have you never had one?

Ouch!! Teeth problems are the worst. I'm surprised they didn't go the other way around and give dental care to the youngest first, after all, they have the most to live left

I'm not into politics at all, but wouldn't the word "neoliberal" be most likely misused by those on the right?
