Lemmy seems a lot less toxic than Reddit. Every now and then I see comments here of people that are assholes, but its not the norm. Whenever I would check the comment feeds in Reddit, so many of them devolve into petty bickering. It seemed like a quarter of the user base set out that day to either be pissed off, or to piss someone else off.

Most of these bikes can go 20 mph+, with many able to do 30mph+ in "off road mode". For someone that lives in a smaller city that doesn't require freeway use, these are a fantastic way to save money on transport.

You mean base-10? My totally unrealistic pipe dream would be to have the world switch to base-12.

This is awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Linux implementation of Proton Drive next!

Just dusted off my Boosted Board for my first ride of the summer!

I'm in the same boat as you. I tried running Bazzite a while back. Most of my Linux experience has been with Pop!_OS, and gaming didn't seem easier than what I was used so, because Pop is already ridiculously easy to run. I'd love to know what I'm missing.

The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google's.

Cool feature, I wonder if a duress fingerprint will be introduced in the future?

I was really intrigued by the phone mask offering, but you are limited to 75 texts a month, and 50 minutes of talk time. Given other limitations of the service, I think it's a far better deal to just get a fully pledged phone plan from someone like Mint mobile.

The only thing that is stopping me from daily driving the pre-alpha is the fact that I can't get my VPN to connect.

Troubleshooting steps so far:

  • Everything suggested on the notification in the screenshot, including restarting, signing out, and trying other servers.
  • Using the Advanced Network Configuration app as suggested by @mmstick in a Reddit post. Tried importing a Proton VPN configuration and entering the OpenVPN info manually.

It connects just fine in the current Gnome DE, and I don't have enough know-how to understand what's not working in COSMIC.

I doubt many people will be willing to de-bloat their WIndows install, because there is a lot of overlap between the type of person that would be willing to go through all the hurdles of de-bloating, and the type of person that is already on Linux.

My wife adamantly refused to get a Steam Deck for herself, saying that she would never give up her Switch.

Cut to one year out from buying one for her, and the Switch has been in a bin almost the entire time.

Federated communities have been a challenge to me, because I've usually been a passive consumer, never really contributing.

I am trying to comment much more and hopefully post, because I want to help contribute the type of content that I want to see!
