It would need someone to set it up, but I have my non-techy family members on Silverblue and it suits the purpose as outlined. Also not sure why all the fear-mongering about btrfs, I would say it’s ready and suitable for mainstream use now, or you don’t have to use it.

I don’t remember hearing Maxthon mentioned since the 00s, I’m a bit surprised it still exists! Epic is proprietary and Chromium-based, so avoid.

Source for this?

Steadfast. As a native English speaker it feels like a very strong, grounded word which also suits its meaning. Originally literally means fixed in place, it’s come to mean loyal and unswerving.

If it reassures you, I personally haven’t perceived too much bot activity here, at least not compared to Reddit. Either they’re much stealthier here, or they’re not here in much force.

Something I’ve seen on Reddit several times now, but not here, is obvious bot vote manipulation. I.e. you would go to, for example, a subreddit of a niche music artist, a newish account will make a post linking to some really obvious scam merchandise site for that artist, it would be replied to by several collaborating new bot accounts expressing desire for said merchandise and they’d all be upvoted, and regular users calling out the scam or bot activity get massively downvoted. Eventually it gets deleted by a human moderator. Not seen anything like that here.

I’d imagine Lemmy is less vulnerable since it’s small, bot makers will gain more for targeting bigger sites like Reddit, and I hope if it got bigger here the decentralised setup would give ways to defend against it, like defederating instances (temporarily if appropriate) that have been compromised by a lot of bots.

I think it makes the point that needlessly large cars add even more risk than necessary.

Buses on net reduce the number of vehicles on the road which makes them a net benefit for safety.

Yes, it’s definitely getting better and should be celebrated, it’s a good video, I’m just concerned that the title might discredit the message for many people since it’s showing mainly areas outside of the City where the statistic doesn’t apply to.

It’s great but is the statistic referring to the City of London or Greater London since that’s a big difference? (City of London being a small part of Greater London). The video talks about and shows lots of areas of London that aren’t the City. But the specific wording of the title makes me think they might be overstating things since it would be much easier to achieve in just the City since a lot of people don’t drive there anyway.

I don’t have to walk more that 10 minutes to a “grocery store” where I live (which is kind of in between rural and urban) but occasionally I might walk 3+ km and back to somewhere with a better selection, take a backpack, that’s not an unreasonable walk to me. If I had to do it every day I might complain.

Free as in freedom. But also free as in cost for most PC use cases. Red Hat and SUSE are mostly selling enterprise services.

I feel like that article is really playing up the drama. There was a proposal, a discussion and a decision to reject the proposal after concerns were brought up. All in all a mature decision making process, right? No need to frame it as a big drama.

That’s not the argument here, actual antisemitism (which this is not) is still unacceptable prejudice against a people and not “stealth blasphemy laws”, this has nothing to do with religion.

Uninstalling GNOME Software should do that if you just want to upgrade traditionally through dnf upgrade and you don’t need GNOME Software.

What’s “on read”?

I don’t consider not using it “hardcore”, it’s just not there any more. Reddit isn’t the place it used to be when I joined, so I don’t have the option of using Reddit as I knew it. I’ll occasionally look there for some niche subjects that aren’t represented here but I’m almost always disappointed, it’s rarely quality discussion these days.

say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I’m aware of at least) but it’s also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions

Sorry for being that kind of nerd but I have to somehow, the UK is a unitary state, pretty much the opposite of a federation. Meaning regional powers are granted by the central government not inherited from its component parts.
