TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → ...grass?
I blame the people publishing the articles but I also understand they're playing in a rigged game. The platforms (facebook, reddit etc) that they depend on to get views REQUIRE headlines to be insane clickbait.
If I were the boss of Lemmy I would mandate that all communities require de-clickbaited headlines but what can you do.
It's definitely the first thing I thought of too
This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.
I have a feeling even the bottom 10% of Europeans are still contributing more than the bottom 10% of someone in India or Botswana. This Wikipedia page says that the average EU citizen contributes 117% of the global average carbon emissions (for comparison Canada is 307% and USA is 285%).
I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.
Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.
Had the same thought, it's always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

In response to the closure of the library entrance to Canadians—who represent at least half of the library’s clientele—the Haskell did what libraries do: found a way to serve its community anyway. It opened a back door, allowing all Canadians to continue to access the library via a small storage room, without crossing the border. Haskell also set up a fundraising drive to renovate this entrance and make it more accessible, asking for $100,000. In under two weeks, it raised $170,000 and counting. The library is essential. The community and the country at large are responding.
Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.
Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.
Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).
It's not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.
A recent study has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for two-thirds of observable climate warming

If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it's likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.
Redlib is browser based and will work on Windows. Here is a list of instances.
10/10 this is the future of Linux
Totally agree
This is so true. Indie games are legitimately better these days. AAA titles can have a good game at their core, but it always feels like you're fighting with the game itself to enjoy it. From custom launchers and meaningless boring "side quests" and "achievements" to pad them out. Indie games are much better at cutting right to the point of what makes the experience rewarding.
This comment is conveniently ignoring the part where the developers clarified that lemmy.ml is used for beta testing in a live environment and so it would be dishonest to claim that "development costs" and "hosting costs" could be meaningfully distinguished from one another.
"The problem I've found is that it's easy enough to create a Reddit clone using Lemmy, but getting people to actually use it is the issue."

A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
Lemmy mentioned in an r/coolguides post "A cool guide for leaving big tech." - You know what to do
