While I think this should pass, don't hold your breath. Mayor Frey will probably veto it. He's a very moderate, business friendly Democrat and our governor also vetoed a similar bill from the state legislature earlier this year. Right or wrong, they are concerned that any disruption of Uber/Lyft services would be extremely detrimental to people who depend on them. Public transportation in MN is really bad and this is one of the major ways people get around.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They're down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn't fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It's also one of the most recommended Lemmy's with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they'll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don't think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.

I don't want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who "didn't share their inclusive views" That's fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it's not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don't give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL

I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can't get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You'll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it's dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I've been using for a few months now on my laptop and it's fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn't matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don't think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that's like half of the active Lemmy users right now.

 

These guides have been really useful for me. I link them my users to help them set original quality and avoid transcoding. Each image is for a different App UI so it makes it really easy even for the dumbest of family members! I did not make these I found them on reddit a while back and just saved the link.

Installed Tumbleweed on my laptop last weekend after giving up on Arch. I realized I just don't have the time Arch demands. OpenSUSE has been pretty nice so far, everything seems to just work, I can't complain!
