Beehaw is a quieter experience than most because it has narrower federation, but you do tend to get a better signal to noise ratio since you miss the spammier instances - I like it.
Beehaw also doesn't federate downvotes which I think is an improvement.
It's the best Chromium browser, but unfortunately still a Chromium browser. Pleased to see it in Flathub though.
How many times have you setup Fedora or any other Linux distribution and have every single thing working from the get go?
I’m talking drivers, audio, networking, libraries, DNF, repositories, plugins, runtime dependencies, …
Is proprietary software any easier than that though? Don't you have to put in much more time removing all the spyware and bloat they put in and then spend all your time perpetually fighting against forced updates and applications being installed without your permission?
Whereas with Fedora my experience is more or less install it and forget it.
The "it's easier" argument for proprietary software I think died at least 15 years ago.
Choice of applications is a different argument.
It's the first time I've seen it.
Interesting video, makes a lot of sense. Just a couple of things to add:
In the old days of forums it's worth remembering that people on the internet had more in common with each other than they do today - i.e. generally they were people who were in to computers.
What really gets me down these days is the extremely low-effort of posting everywhere you go. I think that partly comes from the impersonal nature of online communication. Nobody knows who anyone is any more.
I agree it would be better to go back to independent message boards but it's a shame there's no "call to action" - it would be nice but how do we get people to do it? This is a popular YouTube channel, it would be great if it started some kind of ball rolling.
Set calendar alerts for routine tasks that need to be done less frequently than once a week.
Things like washing the vacuum cleaner filters, descaling the kettle, replacing the water filter (I'm in a hard-water area), servicing various appliances, cleaning all the things that need cleaning but don't need cleaning every week. All small things. It removes a lot of cognitive effort and makes sure those things actually get done.
I don't think you can be sure they're not profiling you for advertising on other sites just because they're not showing ads on YouTube. The purpose of uBO is security. Plus I wouldn't give money to a shady company like Google anyway.
I don't change my clocks for daylight saving time and live on permanent winter time all year, and just do the conversion in my head when dealing with the outside world.
For some reason this really confuses some people and I get all kinds of questions about it whenever the clocks change.
I think it's perfectly reasonable and think people setting their clocks to the wrong time for half the year is strange.
It's not the advertising that's the problem, it's the tracking and surveillance that comes with it. Until they get rid of that, uBlock Origin is a necessary security measure.
Supposing you're right, do you think all Palestinians should suffer due to failures of their government? I'm pretty sure they're not a hive mind.
He mentioned once that he can use a bank that doesn't use free software because he's not logging in to it to do general purpose computing. I think the same would probably apply to medical treatments.
I was mildly interested until I saw "designed for creators". Seems like a meaningless marketing term that gets added to everything these days.
