So did you change the test of the comment or did you actually generate this image? If you generated it, it would do favours to the text on the image to delete the comment, since as you said, slop has no place in Lemmy.

This really looks like a gender swap Tintin slop. I don’t think you are achieving the joke I think you are trying to make.

1. a diestro change typically implies a reinstall. It’s “easy”, but you start from zero again. I don’t do it because it’s a fucking hassle.

2. Mac’s are special. It’s way harder than with generic computers, I suggest that you research it, there’s a specific distro for Mac computers.

3. the one that supports Mac’s best if you want to have a good time. If you are up for buying a new computer, Fedora is fine. You mentioned EndeavourOS I reckon, I have that one and it’s fine, although maybe harder for a newbie? I’d say no but I’m not gonna make any effort in giving you support if you have issues so, yeah.

4. phone Linux is not so advanced, and I’m not up to date so let’s see if others answer.

5. if you are planning on buying new devices, I’d suggest doing that because apple device support is not the best on the open source sphere. Maybe you could go with the Mac’’ Linux distro thing, but having a dedicated laptop/desktop is probably best.

But given how the ram prices have bloated, giving it a try with your devices first might not be the worst idea, and if you have issues you always can buy new devices.

Finally, no idea which brands of devices are best, I built my desktop from parts. For laptops, I know framework and tuxedo exist, with tuxedo working for Linux specifically, and system76 also sells their laptops with their distro (popOS, Ubuntu derivate, which is a debian derivate).

Another thing you might have skipped, desktop environments. If the distro is how your computer works under the hood, desktop environments are how it looks over the hood. For a newbie the main ones are Gnome and KDE, although given that KDE is customisable by default I’d recommend you that, so that you can then tweak it safely. There’s more specialised DEs, but I wouldn’t recommend them to you because you’ll already have enough to deal with with having a new OS and all that. Try to ease your landing as much as possible.

Good luck!

You are the one implying that it’s enforced toxic positivity. It’s not.

I’m disagreeing with you perfectly fine, and I can block/report toxic people too.

While I agree with you that the concept of forced toxic positivity is bad, I don’t see the implication that blocking downvotes is it.

You downvote either when you disagree with a comment, which is a soft censorship and I don’t really like that, or when the other user is being an asshole, in which case the proper tool is the block/report, not downvoting.

If you disagree with a comment you can either respond or ignore, I feel like downvoting is a soft censorship that creates an unnecessary bias on new readers.

In any case, feel free to have your opinion that blocking downvotes sucks, but please don’t say that it’s forcing toxic positivity, that’s not true.

Oh, so you are actually implying that blahaj has an unhealthy mentality too since we don’t have downvoting?

Bruh. I was trying to give you an out, nvm.

Right there, in the first paragraph of your link:

Originalmente, en la Antigüedad clásica, se las representaba como seres híbridos con rostro o torso de mujer y cuerpo de ave

Que no tengamos dos palabras para los conceptos de sirena de pez y sirena de ave no significa que no seamos capaces de reconocer que al hablar de sirenas de la mitología griega, que es de las cuales el meme está hablando ya que está referenciado a la Odisea, son quimeras de cabeza de mujer y cuerpo de ave.

Macho que hay un apartado enterito sobre las sirenas griegas y romanas con bien de fotos. No tendremos dos palabras pero si que diferenciamos.

Blahaj has then disabled too, and I’m sure there’s more.

I actually engage in more disagreements now because I don’t have the easy down button. I’m pretty anti downvote now tbh.

I wouldn’t imply that the unhealthyness of hexbear is due to the disabled downvoting though, and I’m sure you aren’t either, but just to be clear.

Ignore, block, report. Maybe leave a comment so others that join have an anchor to read.

Idk, it’s not the end of the world.

There are some communities which have downvotes disabled, blahaj is one of them. I don’t know how many downvotes you have and I don’t care anymore. It’s way more interesting to engage. Also, since I’m on blahaj I comment and upvote much more. Downvotes kill discussion.

I disliked not being able to downvote when I moved to blahaj, but I kinda love it now. If I like the content I upvote, if I dislike it not I either respond (not for them really but for other readers), tag them or block/report. I upvote much more than before now.

If the comment isn’t deserving a block/report, is there any merit to downvote them really? If they are assholes just block/report, and if you just disagree, you can either respond in good faith or ignore them.

You either downvote because you disagree, which is a soft censorship since you are lowering the visibility of the comment you disagree, or you downvote because they are assholes, when you should have blocked/reported them to actually eliminate that comment if it’s actually bad.

Downvotes offer nothing of value.

Have they finally released screen sharing in ts6? I gotta say that the development of that project is pretty comical. Radio silence with the only communication being the community manager shitting on discord every other day while giving no updates on their own product.

Weird vibes.

Voice chat isn’t inherently costly to host, usually the server acts as a broker and then people connect P2P. Do you remember jitsi? It was used as an alternative to zoom during covid, it was a webpage like Google meet where you opened a room, and people joined with the link. Actually under the good the first one that joined the room acted as a host so all voice communications never reached jitsi’s servers.

Jitsi still exists btw, although I understand that a more integrated solution like matrix is preferable. Matrix IS the federated discord-like solution, although last time I read about it it had some issues with scalability and the typical foss Dev drama.

Sure, but I wouldn’t call an i9 a potato PC unless it has 10 years xD.

I should have listed my CPU, I have a 5800.

I think my point stands haha.

Half of those don’t run on a potato, or your concept of what a potato is is pretty warped.

Factorio even has lag optimisation techniques because even a 3080 will have troubles if you don’t optimise energy generation.

We don’t eat plants in vacuum, most vegan products are reinforced with B12.

Idk, I feel like saying “the one that went by Josh before” or “Josh died, long live Sarah” isn’t deadnaming. As in, to tell the other person who you are talking about so they don’t deadname them.

No os avergüenza usar simbología de la URRS en una comunidad de poder obrera en español?

Tenemos nuestros propios iconos obreros, no hace falta mostrar dictadores. Falta de respeto.

Why are you laughing? They explained politely their preference. You are being rude for no reason.

The Basque country (north Spain) is considered a place with really good food, a d we don’t really use that much spices, food quality and good combinations are a hallmark of our cuisine.

Piss to a cup, then pour? Could be legit and staged idk. Probably not since the ski’s Monster logo is not in the same position for each, that’s very weird.
