unknowing8343 , to linux in Is it just me, or does NixOS almost feel like a different operating system from Linux?

I was interested in NixOS until I saw no reference of a specific software I want. Literally not a single search result.

So, I guess its biggest flaw for me is that it cannot beat Arch Linux’s catalogue. So, maybe in a year I’ll check again.

SpaceNoodle , to nostupidquestions in Any Reddit/RIF refugees that live in Switzerland here?

Shouldn’t that be “RIFugees?”

liontigerwings , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

Dude, most us left reddit because we loved our app. Apps are generally more refined than websites and offer better notification interaction.

It's better than reddits mobile site but native apps always win if the dev puts in an effort to make it good.

sudoreboot , to fediverse in Are posts supposed to be exactly synced across instances?
@sudoreboot@slrpnk.net avatar

I don’t know if this is the same question worded differently, but I’m unclear about what is supposed to be synced when a community gets federated.

Let’s say I’m the first one on my instance to sub to a community on another instance. At first it is of course empty because it hasn’t been federated, but after a few moments the posts, old and new, start to show up. However, existing votes and comments appear to not get pulled in - only new ones created after the moment the community was initially federated.

Naturally, I don’t expect votes, posts or comments from blocked users or instances to sync. But the rest should be IMO - at least lazily (e.g. only when you visit a post do comments and votes on it get pulled in).

AcidOctopus , to ukcasual in Has anyone been paintballing as a 2 at a open session?

I’ve been a few times over about 15 years or so. This was out in the woods, using gas-powered guns.

They’ve always been free sessions and they generally just allocate people on teams randomly, so there’s no promise the people you go with will be on the same team or not.

It really is just luck of the draw for the most part. Some people get stuck in, others don’t.

Don’t bother wearing loads of layers - it won’t make a difference when you get hit. You’ll be better off making sure you’re comfortable.

Plus, your mask is going to fog up, so the cooler you can stay, the less trouble you’ll have with it.

No idea of that helps, but take it for what you will!

antricfer , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?

My partner passed away recently and I found myself suddenly alone in the world. A few friends have their own lifes so I joined a hiking group and it was the best decision of my life. Always looking forward to get back on the trail with like minded people where I made new friends. Lots of single people there so yeah we are human and we need companionship.

antricfer ,

Thank you

Honestly, I've met a lot of people who settled with the wrong person just because they don't want to be lonely. It's a terrible situation to be in, especially if they have children with that person.

I've been single for a long time, and it does get lonely, but I've been trying to get out more. It also beats being stuck with the wrong person.

ofespii , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?

Personally, having a partner is not a replacement for friends. There are emotional needs that my partner fulfills that my friends can't and vice versa.

A partner can definitely become a best friend, but i don't think it's healthy to have every role fulfilled by one person as it makes you very dependent on them.

MementoMori ,

Totally agreed. I had to explain to my partner that they were not my best friend. My partner is my partner and my friend is my friend. They have different roles and responsibilities. Took some time for my partner to get used to, especially since they don’t have a best friend.

Aux , to ukcasual in Is it just me, or has Royal Mail gone downhill badly?

No issues in my area, sorry.

Protegee9850 , to linux_gaming in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

Sony MDR-7506 wired into a Focusrite dac; the tried and true pair that radio stations across the world have used for years and years.

wheresmydanish , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?

Some might, but many wind up with a partner because they fall in love with eachother. It’s like having an ultra best friend you get to live with.

Stay out there, enjoy your hobbies, and friendships will form naturally with like-minded people :)

hiddencabin , to linux in What was your first distribution?

Linux Mint in like 2018. Now i use Debian.

zombie_kong , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?

It’s the worst.

Trying to make friends as an adult is hard work!

All these political opinions, skewed world views, left and right biases.

I just want to hang out with some other like minded people.

Mr_Blott , to ukcasual in Saturday chat thread

Just discovered Lemmy because of Sync closing down (Though I've been a fan since the Hawkwind days) Is there anywhere I can get an ELI5 for this Fediverse thingy? I see there's a UK-centric Feddit but I can't get my head round how they're connected

Jon-H558 ,

As others have said but also I use the kbin.social instance which has a slightly different looking interface but still federates (shares content) with the other instances

Jon-H558 ,

Another way to think about the fediverse is you know all those annoying "local" newspapers that have maybe one or two local articles then a billion clickbait or advertisements disguises as articles that could be from anywhere. Well each trumptonnews.co.uk or pontypamdyadvertiser.co.uk or greendalegazzette.com is like an instance but all the articles are shared....except hopfully for threads it is interesting stuff not guff.

Vitaly , to linux in is there a Linux alternative to windows 10/11 that is similar?
@Vitaly@feddit.uk avatar

I think that linux mint will be perfect for you!
