TIL that France and Spain are in the wrong time zone because of Nazis.
France was put on to German time when conquered by Nazi Germany....
Finally had enough of Windows. I'm packing up. I'm nervous!
Edit2: Writing this from Pop_Os! I had experience with Mint for my Self hosting rig and wanted to see other pastures. Decided to rearrange my three drives, two of them are still Windows, another I emptied and dedicated to Pop OS. That way I still have easy fallback to Windows if I need to do something fast and then I’ll know...
What is the best way to make more friends as an adult?
What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you?
What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use?
This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting....
Europe is doing so well regarding Linux smartphones

What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?
This post is somewhat inspired by a recent post in this same community called “Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?”...
What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could?
I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.
What is the worst way to start an apology?
I’ll give it a shot, “I thought I apologized already, but whatever…”
Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?
Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”...
ngl actually pretty based
Is there a Linux based OS for public computers, such as at a library or a PC cafe?
Title. Mainly asking for the library side, but PC cafe is also interesting to ask about....
So, on pronouns.
I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don’t hate me....

What are the coolest (privacy respecting) apps you have?
Title says it all. I’ll go first:...

Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?
