laverabe@lemmy.worldtoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit admits more moderator protests could hurt its businessEnglish2·1 year agoI mean Lemmy is pretty neat, I consider it a contender for the next “big” thing (and I’m fine if it never gets a huge userbase like reddit, certainly fine by me)
I mean I was a mod of a couple 50000+ subs and I said fuck em’… I’m sure a few other decent people/mods did too.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•How to choose your first distro - A guide for beginners (flowchart + text post)English3·1 year agoGnome is certainly the most polished. They just need to get over the ultra minimalism though, because it is completely non functional without installing a thousand extensions.
Why they aren’t bringing back the dock is beyond insanity though. 3 million+ people agree, the dock needs to come back along with the application and places drop-down like it was in gnome 2.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user contentEnglish1·1 year agoIs there a more effective one, that slowly edits all your comments a little bit at a time so it misses their detection over a period of weeks/months? Like scrambling/nonsense sentences.
There was a book whose card when blunk when they looked up.
Like completely non sensical but a real sentence so it would be hard to detect.

The two PCs were identical hardware btw, so in my case Live just worked 10x better.
I’ve only recently switched to Debian after a couple decades with Ubuntu (because snaps) and I had a few issues during installation.
The net install failed to configure my wifi so I had to download the DVD/CD install. That worked but then I had to manually nano several config files to fix about 5 broken things for some reason.
I installed it recently on a different system, and went with the Live option (gnome) and it installed 10x easier and smoother than Ubuntu. It installed in about 4 minutes (on a new/fast computer).
So I would say Debian Live is VERY beginner friendly, but the other install methods are all messed up for some reason. Ubuntu’s default option is the Live option so I think that if Debian just kinda hid the other options on their website it would be 100% beginner friendly…
OH, INTERESTING INFORMATION. THANKS! ;)
why flatpaks? Aren’t they more insecure and bloated? They seem like the wrong direction for Linux.

I see - thanks for taking the time to explain the backstory, very interesting.
serious question… not everyone on Lemmy is a computer expert, lol
I don’t quite understand, why would Microsoft sue you for a lemmy comment?
what’s with the link in every comment? just curious
I just looked up the definition of excel power user, and it’s mostly stuff I deal with on a daily basis, so I guess I’m a power user.
That being said I am switching to libreoffice currently because I’m tired of proprietary bullshit. I also like the idea of being able to change libre for my needs if I want. I haven’t seen any degradation other than a rough around the edges UI. What is libre lacking that MS has?
We use windows at my work (I’ve been using Linux for 2 decades on home computer). I’m trying to migrate our work CPUs to Linux but the biggest road block is my unfamiliarity with librecad, I’m used to autocad. I use cad command line a lot and it’s hard to live without auto suggest commands. Libre has the capability but it’s very rough and not mature.
