Personally, I will only be going back to Reddit if I need help with some specific thing and I can't find it in Lemmy anywhere. And only for that thread.

As fill-in ads are a vector for computer viruses and other malware I for one will NOT be disabling my ad blocker unless YouTube is willing to provide a lifetime subscription to something like Life Lock and make me whole for anything lost to whatever malware arrives as a part of an ad.

Where else can I watch sci-show, Linus-tech-tips, and all the other channels I subscribe to?

Please can we have a "BuyNothing" or "Freecycle" Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.

It's like the Ikea lamp commercial. A person has a well-used lamp they have had for a long time. They go to Ikea and find a new lamp that is better and nicer. In the next scene, the old lamp is left on the curb. In the rain. alone. abandoned. The Ikea person comes on and asks "Do you feel bad for the old lamp?"

I only hope we eventually have some of the local communities that were subreddits of yore - like SacramentoBuyNothing - a place to share your old lamp so it does not have to sit out in the rain at the curb.> waspentalive

I am a Debian guy right now, what did Guix do to attract you away from Debian?

Kubuntu 23.04 With the panel to the left.

It's an older code, but it checks out.

I use https://ninite.com/ to download an installer/updater for the major packages I can get there - Firefox and Chrome are both available amongst others. But mostly I don't use Windows.

Yay! Sucess! Will my phone remember this credential now or will I have to enter it next time I return?

Even for a home system? Not a fleet of data center servers. I am currently using rsync to backup /home/<>/ to the ssh server. I tend to make a lot of changes to the base Debian/KDE install.

We need an actual Doctor to consult on the effects of eating banknotes on one's system. Who knows even one might give you a serious problem.

Paints a picture of all the nasty substances that can contaminate the bills in your wallet.

Here is the problem.

I had been running X before last night. I switched to Wayland just before knocking off. When I started again today I was now running Wayland. I just now switched back to X and now my icon for kpat works properly.

Is there some issue with the Icons-Only Task Manager under Wayland?

I was going back to Wayland because it seems important Distros are dropping X. I should be running under Wayland because at some point I will have to. I am back on X for now.

I actually did this **dd if=(running system root volume) of=(local usb attached hard drive file) ** This gives me a full disk backup that would be no worse than if power got yanked. (I know laptops have batteries, for this case we are pretending to be a desktop with no UPS)

How can I find out if there is an instance for Sacramento?

I see. Of course. That would mean the onboarding effort would have to ask a bunch of questions and each of the target instances would have to be able to describe their wants and don't wants. This could get much too complicated I guess.

Sorry, this is the biggest resolution I have. I took this picture myself on a road trip between San Jose and Los Banos (with a stop at casa de fruita) This was leveled in gimp. This is placed in Public Domain.

I live a long time and small parts of me go on forever.

Sorry, I do not have a larger resolution. I public domain this picture. I took this picture myself.

I wrote 3 sentences 3 days ago and still can not login. (Beehaw)

Wayland fixed a strange blinking issue in Minecraft. So now Wayland all the time.
