A sad story... Follow a lemmy user

What?
Well, I can only speak for myself, I'm not here to follow users but communities.
And if someone wants to follow me I'd see it as kind of annoying for them seeing all the different topics I post and comment instead of something focused.

IMO the ability to see Mastodon interactions in Lemmy and vice-versa is quite annoying since they use the same protocol for different experiences.

Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmarks

I recently switched to ubuntu in a gaming laptop, right now I've been using it just for jellyfin and some other coding tasks, but it definitely runs smoother, more stable, quicker, and cooler than windows did for the same workload.
I was surprised at the difference of even just having the machine idle, on windows it was noticeable warm, now on ubuntu it's almost as if it has been turned off.

If you can create a Lemmy instance and federate, you can shovel data about every vote linked to an account

Well, not only this data, all activity on lemmy is public since it needs to be federated (sent to all instances subscribed to the community will receive all activity).
Which means any person can track anyone if they subscribe to the same communities the user's instance has.

AFAIK the only activity not sent is saved content, and downvotes from content hosted in instances which disabled them.

EDIT: for more example, here's my upvote to this post

"actor":"https://lemmy.pe1uca.dev/u/pe1uca","object":"https://sh.itjust.works/post/8931097","type":"Like","id":"https://lemmy.pe1uca.dev/activities/like/f6b0cced-4e1c-41d7-bf11-349b680c4d84","audience":"https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides"  

And here's the original comment

And all instances which are subscribed to this community need to receive this information to keep it updated.

How should I do backups?

Well, I'm just starting with serious backups, AFAIK you only need to backup the data which you can't replicate.

Low seeded torrents are just hard to get, but not impossible. Personal photos, your notes, any other files generated by you are the ones which need backups.

Most enjoyable content for the least amount of storage

I love playing Dwar Fortress, I've spent hours and hours in there.
The game is free from the developera site, the download is only 15MB.
If you want to support them you can buy it in steam, the listed requirements is 500MB of storage, I assume since this version has a tile set.

I've also put so far 400 hours in oxygen not included, I think it uses around 2GB of storage.

And to me, any monster hunter game its worth its price, I've bought each game and played it for minimum 200 hours each, I think I reached 500 in on of them.
Tho the newer ones are pretty heavy for their respective platforms. Also triple-A game price.

She IS AMLO's administration, there was no word from her before he said something about anything during her campaign.

AMLO had said since the beginning of his term he was going to disappear from the public to his state after today, but earlier this year he said he would come back if the circumstances demanded it, and just last month I think he said he will stay around.

I don't wish her luck, I wish México luck.
