Other than the ads, is there a compelling reason to?

Familiarity for one; it was a great Reddit client and it's a good Lemmy one too. I certainly made the shift to Lemmy a lot more frictionless.

It also has a sensible layout, decent customisation, the dev is (or was, at least) responsive to the users and it was a solution that 'just worked'.

I paid for ad free ages ago, moving from RIF and I hadn't looked back.

It hasn't been updated in a while though, so I'm playing with Thunder and it's been a pretty nice option as well. Plus, you know, FOSS and available on Droidify/F-Droid. It's far and away the best 'native' Lemmy clientnive used to date.

In this case they are analogous though, really.

"attack" is doing some very heavy lifting here.

How are these people brazillionaires and I'm schlepping away to not get my home taken off me by the bank? I can string a sentence together and do basic arithmetic, and I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes!

But does it matter for something like a meme posted on a whim?

What's the deal with the porch/cage? The reds awful and it's like the fever dream of a scene kid playing the Sims in the early 2000s...

Dave Rome's stuff is great anyway - but the Wheels MFG mat with bearing sizer is especially nice; it's a pretty affordable quality of life upgrade for a workshop. Certainly easier than a ruler or whatever shoddy calipers your boss has bought you...

What are your vices or guilty pleasures? (feddit.uk)
 

So, as we begin another week: what are your little vices or guilty pleasures that help you get through the day?

a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered morally wrong in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit

Small Distro Concerns (feddit.uk)
 

I have an old notebook which I've been toying with a few smaller distros on (typically easy to install, liveCD types), and while I enjoy the tinkering aspects of this, I had a thought that I've been mulling.

In the past I've run distributions based on larger, better supported, systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.) and if or when they have folded, like crunchbang did, or PeppermintOS (however briefly), I just changed them out.

However, if I were to go back to peppermintOS, say, would it be feasible to 'convert' the system to the parent distribution? So, could I force peppermintOS to 'become' Debian, for example? Or is this overly simplistic? It's a level of engagement with my operating systems that I just haven't had!
