Could someone explain to me why there are so many negative comments about this, calling to switch to librewolf, ect.? Having to explicitly agree to TOS is a good thing. It was weird that it wasn’t there previously and it doesn’t change the fact that you were agreeing to them implicitly by using the browser in the first place.

Even scrolling your phone is more pleasant outside!

Pilotredsun “Warsaw” Jazz fusion Cover by poruu.

The original is great, it takes simple Chiptunes and manages to convey a stunning range of emotion and movement.

This cover is fantastic because it takes what’s at the core of the original and explores it even more, with varying loudness, instruments, ect.

It feels like the last warm august evening before going back to school.

It sounds like moving to a far away place in the search of opportunities.

It conveys the nostalgia of remembering your childhood friends with happiness, but also realizing that there’s a great and unknown road ahead of you.

It gives you the comfort of knowing that every moment will pass, so you should enjoy it while it lasts and be hopeful for the future.

It’s change, it’s movement, it’s nostalgia, it’s hope, it’s happiness, it’s a bitter sweet end and a fresh beginning.

This cover gave me a lot of comfort and peace during difficult moments in my life and I can say with confidence that it far surpassed the original.

You’re right, I guess I just assumed the author had the same view as me.

I would draw the line at having an algorithmic content feed as the primary way of interaction. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook (mostly), YouTube, Twitter, Reddit would be out or would have to drastically change their content discovery system. By algorithmic I mean - one that adapts to the user’s personal viewing habits.

I’d classify stuff like IRC and web forums as communicators, in the same basket as WhatsApp, email, sms, and perhaps Discord. I agree that they have, in general, valuable social interactions. They also don’t have the same effect as algorithmic platforms where you can be scrolling for 2 hours and not remember a single thing you read, or where you’re served content tailored to keep you engaged.

I’m sure there are some valuable platforms that would get hurt by this distinction, but imo it’s a good first guideline.

Are you genuinely comparing social media to social interactions? Twitter for example is like a parody of what social interactions are, and I think this article is talking about things like Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and other algorithmic platforms that give the user an anonymous feed of slop. I can’t imagine this is advocating for a ban on platforms like fb messenger, WhatsApp, ect. that aren’t nearly as invasive and generally do serve a good social function.

The case isn’t clear for platforms like reddit and Lemmy imo, on one side they do have a slop feed effect, but they also feel a lot less aggressive to me for some reason.

Most of the adult animated shows (Rick and Morty, inside job, ect.) they’re like a 15 year olds idea of what adults are.

Email should not score this high. Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass because every other server sends you to spam by default.

Fedora because it just works and I don’t have to mess with it.

This is the “feel miserable and sleepy all day” diet

A cheap USB 32GB pendrive. It would barely reach 1MB/s transfer speeds and started corrupting files almost instantly.

Eeh, idk. I’ve first installed kubuntu 20.04, then used it all the way up to 24.04, updating each version. I tinkered with it, added ppas, ect. and each update new random issues started piling up. I switched to fedora when the update to 24.04 completely broke my system, I don’t recommend kubuntu.

Yes, you’re right. I think I misunderstood the question. We call the pancakes in the post “Naleśniki”. American style pancakes would be “Pankejki” or “Naleśniki Amerykańskie”. Now I wonder - do Americans have a word for Naleśniki-style pancakes?

In Poland those are also pancakes. Now I want some! 🥞
