Distro-hopping is a valid hobby, but it's not for everyone. If you aren't specifically interested in distros and fiddling with packages, hopping around on your "daily driver" can be disruptive. If you just want something that works, there's nothing wrong with figuring out which distros do what you need and using one of those for work and play. If something catastrophic happens to a distro to make it literally unusable, you can worry about that when it happens. There is usually something else which is almost the same. Few people will get much value from hopping between distros which are basically the same, just because the distros are put out by different companies or install different packages by default.

The post volume is still much lower, but that isn't all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn't as bad and unlimited scroll time isn't healthy.

Nobody is talking about banning users "the moment they mention anything more eastern than Norway."

RTX 3060 12GB works great on Linux using the Nvidia drivers and CUDA. No reason why it wouldn't.

The creator of Lemmy, dessalines, is a tankie, and is also the main admin of lemmy.ml.

Right-wing Europeans have trolled Reddit for so many years I can't even remember.

this whole situation is just showing investors it's worth even less if the user base can revolt in the way that it has.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Caring might be something that your girlfriend can click off like a light switch

It's the same logic they're still using: they want to monetize Reddit more aggressively, even if that kills its appeal and they have to brutalize their own community to do it.

They fired Victoria because they were trying to aggressively monetize IAmAs in ways that were going to fuck community interests, and Victoria pushed back. Think Rampart, except companies can pay to ensure that it doesn't become a PR fiasco, so it's guaranteed astroturf.

Reddit has been classy ever since.

The mob boss who wants $8/mo for a lame service but won't harm you if you don't want it?

How about affordable housing?

 

I'm a Science Fiction fan. I've read a fair amount about what Solarpunk is ideologically, looked at inspo albums, and things like that, but I haven't yet read any works of Solarpunk fiction.

What are a few of the works of Solarpunk fiction that you feel best represent Solarpunk, or showcase its literary possibilities? Whether that's more from a writing quality standpoint or an entertainment standpoint, I'm not picky.
