I really liked A Canticle for Leibowitz. Feels like it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. It's really charming.

The invisible pink unicorn is the traditional atheist approach.

The point of the meme is that we let chuds set the standards of behavior now?

I know it isn't really the point, but your setup is so visually pleasant. Very aesthetic.

I haven't used Ubuntu in a bit, but I'm decently familiar with linux overall. Looked up a guide. It indicated you could install LXDE with sudo apt install lxde and then reboot. The guide said that LXDE should be the default Desktop Environment now, because it's the most recently installed one. If for whatever reason LXDE isn't the new default, on the Login screen, in the upper left corner there should be a dialogue box to select whichever Desktop Environment you want as the new default.

I hated the backlash the bridgy dev received. His project was genuinely useful, helped to solve one of people's most common criticisms of the fediverse. And after he was browbeat into giving it up, everything still got hoovered up by bots and fed into AI models anyway.

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

For me, the top right corner has a bubble for "layers" shaped like two overlapping squares. In it there's a dropdown with a bubble marked "Places". It gives you a crosshair you can use to mark the business and add details like what kind or opening hours.

I wish there was a "log in from other instance" button, but I don't know how you'd implement that.

When I get in the car, I hit the blinker lever by instinct because on a forklift it puts you into forward or reverse gear.

I really liked the first one, despite its flaws. My cousin and I played hours of it. Excited to see what comes next.

I do not believe either mastodon or lemmy federate your email address at all. Only the server you join has that information. You might have to worry if you have signed up to an uncrupulous instance. That instance admin could sell your email, I guess. They would have access to any email you gave them, so changing it would probably not help. I think the problem is a little overstated, honestly.

Just, try to be a good person and to learn as much as you can. Any revolution will need doctors, engineers, agricultural scientists. Keep the faith and be a good example to those around you.

I've had this issue before. My limited understanding is that your home server fetches copies of communities somebody on your server is subbed to. But if you're the first person, it can take it a few hours to federate (took mine a day.)

I don't believe it's possible to reform anything purely online. At some point you have to organize with your neighbors. Maybe try finding a local group, or local chapter of a national group and get involved with them. The DSA could be a good starting point, at least to help you meet other people with similar beliefs.

As an American, I'm honestly excited to see how it will turn out. Hope it's not a catastrophe, but at least there'll be something to learn no matter what happens.

Everything I've seen has indicated US inflation rates dropping steadily since 2022. What inflation are you seeing?

I've only ever seen the term used to refer to the bags people prepare in advance for emergencies.

https://vegastack.com/tutorials/how-to-install-lxde-on-ubuntu-22-04/ This is the guide I was using, if it helps. I'd take a look at section 1, step 2, where it shows the picture of the "Configure LightDM" menu. I think it's probably not too bad, but I'd be curious to hear how it goes.
