Any EU based users of reddit should immediately file a complaint under GDPR with their supervisory authority
Reply in thread
Yea they keep all the data. I deleted everything on my account when the whole shitshow happened and then GDPR requested the data associated with the account and it was all still there. And when I requested that they delete that too they outright refused.

I actually pay for Nebula already and it has been great so far for me. I use it a lot more than Youtube and you don't need to sift through a bunch of garbage to find something decent to watch. They just need to add more content creators.

Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs?
Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.
But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.
.ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).

And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.

If you don't want to bother with the bootloader like the other comment mentioned you can also just use the boot menu from the motherboard instead. You gotta mash f11 (or whatever it is on your motherboard) on boot when you want to go into Windows, but if you only need it every once in a while it is good enough.

What niche subject do you know a lot about?
Bollards, roads signs and other road signalisation. It is honestly a problem.

Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:
Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with a '^' and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc key twice.
:D
Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.

Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.

Colors, localized.
Reply in thread
The American is how it is supposed to be.
The British one has the "color" changed changed to "colour" due to British spelling of color.
The Spanish one has an upside down semi colon because in Spanish you write questions like this: ¿Is this an example question?
The French one is because the French number system makes absolutely no sense and to say 99 you have to say quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (meaning 4 x 20 + 19).
I hope this helps somehow.

Have you ever demoted yourself from a job because it caused too much pain?
Technically yes. Switched from software dev to QA at a different company. Worse pay, worse commute, 0 regrets. My current company asked me if I would want to work as a dev instead, nope, can't pay me enough to do that again.

Not that many sadly and from my understanding you need to be invited by them to join. There is 240 currently if it loaded and counted them correctly for me. They have a list of them here. It works for me because a lot of them make exactly the content I am interested into, but might not work or you or anyone else depending on taste.

You should add this:
Will the admins fix typos when it gets pointed out to them that they have one in their FAQ?
No

tfw, I finally read the domain name correctly 🤦♂️
Oh no...
Yea, I am afraid our instance name is literally a meme so I hope you are fine with telling everyone that you use Arch anytime you post anything from this account :D
Also welcome to the instance! If you use arch or not :)

I am genuinely curious what is your issue with the tab bar? I got a long list of issues I have with FF (still my main browser anyways) but the tab bar is not one of them and I always have 20+ tabs open. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just trying to understand why you think so.

Not who you replied to but I haven't had any issues with a 3000 series card and LTSC, but I only used it for a whooping 12 hours since I got the card (I do 99% of gaming directly on Linux) so take my answer with a grain of salt.
I might be missing something but can't you just manually download the drivers from the Nvidia website on LTSB?

help installing software
Just run the file, there is no chance there is anything bad in it. People wouldn't do that on the internet. Also don't forget to checkmark every field so you get all the useful additional software the bundle with it!

I am a big fan of the Slovenian/Austrian combo snow pole+bollard. I think they are such a clever thing for places where it snows enough to cover the actual bollard and doesn't require workers to drag around a bunch of snow poles every winter, they just gotta pull them out.

Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked - LemmyWorld
Update: this server should hopefully (unless something else shows up) be safe and not vulnerable anymore.
