Thank you for the home.

I’ve not noticed bugs on the dev branch but look forward to improvements (I’d love for the default UI to remember my place when retreating back to it from an article).

Thanks!

Maybe you just have to swap and be okay with less people around, just so you can get out of Microsoft’s grip in open source.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. It is almost always the case that you will trade adoption/utilization/community for a less-used solution. Using loops, pixelfed, mastodon or piefed/lemmy, element, linux, FOSS web apps instead of their more popular system, they all come with an unspoken agreement that you embrace a niche-existence.

Only you can really decide what’s more important to you.

Waiting an unknown amount of time to be able to use your computer again is not viable.

I’ve dealt with this issue across distros and flavors for years and simply accept that using Firefox on Linux the way I use it requires a regular reboot.

I see this often with the firefox memory leak and containerizing it wouldn’t resolve the issue, as it’s literally freezing due to running out of system memory. Try to make a distinction between a frozen app and a systemwide exhaustion of resources.

Why are people still giving this clown views?

It’s a septic or sewer clean out. Code requires them at certain distances of the drain system to allow for access to clear any blockages. You can use that access to run a snake.

I didn’t understand that, thank you for the clarification.

lot of YouTubers recommend it as something that looks a bit like Windows (on the surface).

Oh yeah, I forgot that was it’s schtick. Well, best of luck to them, regardless of the cause.

Any idea on what caused the spike? I used Zorin years and years ago and while nifty, didn’t have anything that met a particular need that wasn’t already satisfied by other distros. I checked their site and it looks like nothing drastic has changed.

Perhaps some popular influencer or advertisement type thing?

If I’m reading DW correctly, the real switft OS has been around since 2011, which I don’t think predates HML but is still getting up there in age.

Both YT music and Tidal offer a trial period, you could listen to some examples yourself since you’re the only person that can determine if the differences in sound quality are anything that you notice or care about.

It looks like it’s been overrun with AI “articles”. There’s tons of telltale stuff like this:

What Are The Most Popular Names This Year?
Great question! In America, here are the top 10 boys and girls names of 2025:

I know that they took some heat for adopting AI to generate their images but it looks like it’s gone much farther than that.

I am pretty sure the content is irrelevant to the owners as from it’s first sale in 2006, it existed primarily to be an adsense ad farm.

As does screening or answering. There’s no way around that unless you just don’t plan to ever use your phone as a phone.

When it was introduced to Android years ago, I regained a lot of my sanity. Prior to it, I was seriously considering just disabling the phone function and sending everything to rot in voicemail. I can’t remember the last time an actual spam call got through the invisible screening process.

DM Twinkle, they can hook you up.

Thank you for the home.

Beware of what? It’s no different than any other instance and capable of being subscribed to, scrolled past or blocked.

Stop advertising for them and let them have their federated echo chamber, just like the communists, socialists, leftists and others have.

It’s a device that allows your township to record water usage remotely(that’s why it’s got an FCC id). Without it, the meter would either need to be on the outside of the house or you’d need to let the meter reader into your house monthly to record the usage.

It’s hexbear. Those of us that understand that’s their baseline blocked the instance long ago.
