As an American, I’m worried that Starmer’s legacy is going to be giving you PM Nigel Farage.

Glad I could be of service.

Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were “obviously” incorrect. It’s terrible logic because it discounts:

1. God somehow doesn’t know you’re believing in him “just in case” rather than because of actual faith.
2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

Still using a Pixel 2 XL as my primary phone thanks to LineageOS.

I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .

When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.

I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.

Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.

I don’t mind the old packages (I’m typing from Debian Stable right now). If that’s a bother for other people Debian Stable isn’t the way to go. Even I wouldn’t recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn’t want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it’s “stable enough” for most people, especially on a daily driver.

That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that’s mostly because they’re apps that aren’t packaged for Debian.

I’m not sure it’s as big of a deal with Lemmy. Threads data doesn’t map very well into Lemmy and vice versa. Like with Mastodon, I can read this post and comment on it, but it’s not really a great way to interact. I think it’s a bigger deal on the Mastodon/Calckey/etc side. If IG/FB federate then it becomes a different story, IMO.

No, not in the example that you’ve set up. The username is always @user@domain. This is like asking if you can have the same email address on Gmail and Hotmail or whatever. You can have the same user part, but not the domain.

People that have used user@x.domain and also user@y.domain is allowed because they’re different domain names.

That’s a classic.

Yeah I think Arch is fine, but I’d never recommend it to a new Linux user.

I run Debian and I regularly look at the Arch wiki.
