I adore VLC.

I've been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It's quite friendly.

I'm also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an "emperor penguin."

That is all.

Q: /c/TheBakery (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by vsp@lemmy.world to c/breadtube@lemmy.world

Whenever I got rather frustrated, and I wanted to share a rant, I read through /r/TheBakery on reddit. Sadly, this grouping has fallen to the wayside, as had its Discord.

For those who are interested in creating /c/Breadtube videos, and are building the next thing... where are they going? Is there a community here on Lemmy, or elsewhere, for those who are making new videos and editors?

I read this article a couple of years ago about the subject. Apparently, one part was ease and rapidity of rolling updates with the likes of Arch, and another part of wanting a bit more experimental nature of Arch versus steady-as-she-goes and stable Debian. It's a rather neat discussion and debate.

Hi moderator team(s),

This is a link to the backgrounds, graphics and otherwise that I've help make for the Lemmy.world squad. Hopefully, this can be somewhat helpful in your work in your communities.

There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it'd improve the environment.

His name was Allan Savory.

Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.

Awww, man.

Now I'm sad.

Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.

I'm already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I'm fairly comfortable!

Agreed. It's one of the reasons I enjoy being a monthly Patreon to Lemmy.world. Ruud and the admin team post updates to blog.mastodon.world, and through Open Collective highlight their outflows and inflows of cash.

It's a best practice for building transparent communities. By sharing information, and showcasing where a person's donations go, it builds confidence in a team of volunteers by a network. Also, for curious types like me, I can see what's happening.

As a side benefit, it allows for teams to build resources and establish new projects, like Lemmy.world. Which is excellent.

Here are some proposed graphics.

EDIT: I've now made a repository on GitHub, so that you can download the graphics and use them for your communities and projects. There's even an Etsy store selling stickers now.
