I built a new PC two months ago and it's the first time I didn't get Office. Libre Office has everything I need and it's free.

You can turn that off in Group Policy if you have the Pro version of Windows.

Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(

256TB? That's huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.

I can spend 17 minutes driving to work, or 1.5 hours catching buses. Easy choice for me.

I'll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you "Liked" their post.

Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

I don't see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

What tutorial?

 

I made a post to funny@Lemmy.world, then in another tab I subscribed to science@lemmy.ml. Back in the tab I made the post in, the page updated itself to look like I made the post in science@lemmy.ml instead. I didn't refresh the page or do anything else... It just changed by itself.

That's a very specific sub-genre.
