it’s one of the “official” ones being supported by lemmy developers, otherwise i don’t really feel the difference. anything is better over the shithole that was reddit.

i guess there’s more marxists on .ml, but i don’t read the instance the comment is from on purpose; that’s irrelevant to me.

just the basic lemmy.ml website.

i personally don’t care about posting opinions on an admin account, but they seem to be right. suspect it’s to do with living on the same instance.

the button is there, but clicking it does not do anything, can’t do it via the profile or searchbar either

i wouldn’t feel bad about your carbon footprint when your local corporation exceeds that trillion fold. regulation is by far the best way, not consumer choice. go harass inform your local and national representatives about how climate change is bad and you care about it, and kindly ask them to regulate their #1 polluters.

are passkeys not a type of a hardware token? they’re tied to a device.

Yeah, it’s funny when people shit on Linux just because people care enough to disclose vulnerabilities. Trust me that any proprietary system has just as many; they just get silently patched in this month’s security update.

Computers are finicky things; the amount of known CVEs is simply a measure of how many people pentest the software and how big the project is, rather than any statement about its security.

by their logic youtube itself is a piracy tool because it distributes copyrighted material.

killing copyright would also kill the licenses. If you want to say that copyleft licenses should be the default rather than ARR, i can go along with that, but would probably be hard to enforce in any meaningful way.

I’d say mint is great for non tech people (90% of the time it’s the DE and GUI apps that are important rather than the distro, but mint has good ones by default). For former windows power users I’d recommend CachyOS or Fedora. Either way, you can boot from USB for any of these as a live demo; I have images for all 3 + memtest on my ventoy USB.

Guess it’s too late now, but mint has an option for automatic updates.
