I had a Bluesky account at the hight of the twitter migration. At the time it seemed promising and their were a lot of cool tools,both first and third parties, some of them still exist

I had to delete my account because I was at a point where I was overwhelmed by the amount of account I had, but I just got back and have been heating and seeing that bluesky has lost a lot of followers

So my question, did most people go back Twitter? Or did they disperse to other social medias across the internet. And why did people leave in the first place?

I have been thinking about this is for a while now.

My teeth's have always been crocked(overbite here) and I have been always conscious about it. They yellowish(especially the four lower front) and not equal sizes(some look like they are broken)

Recently I found out that my adult tooth grow under my mild tooth even though I am in my 20s. I got the millk tooth removed and the dentist said that the adult one will move into place in a about year but its still at the back of the other teeth for two years and I kept rubing it with my tongue and its driving me crazy.

He did say that I can install braces if it doesn't move into place and I just don't have the money for that. Instead I looking to get it removed altogether.

But this is not a mouth anyone would wanna kiss

It seems to be a family isue, with most of family(especially mom) and my other relatives having dental problems

Mom herself have been having teeth installed and its costing us months and months of rent

I keep thinking that this is my fault for not brushing twice a day or after every meal or whatever but I genuinely think that this is something only a dentist could have prevented.

I have both Undetermined and English in my account setting but each post and comment have those two options but i leave those it on "Select language"

Ideally i would want my posts and comments to be visible as many people as possible, hence why i selected Undetermined along since English on the assumption that most English users have Undetermined as their default

How does everyone else do it? Do you bother to select language setting for posts and comments?

Also, right now this post language setting is "Select language"

Ok, so i pretty much am constantly listening to something in the bacground, usually a podcast or creeypasta, and yeah its a problem

But while i work on that, i need some podcasts to listen to and i am mostly out of material

My two Criteria are:

• The format is a conversation between two or more friends
• its not about tech, enough people recommendation those around here

For most use cases, web search engines are fine. But I am wondering if there are alternative ways to finding information. There is also the enshittification of google and tbh most(free) search engines just give google search result

Obviously, the straight answer is just asking other people, in person or online, in general forums or specialised communities

Libraries are good source too but for those of is that don't have access to physical libraries, there free online public libraries(I will post the links for those that I found below)

Books in general, a lot of them have reference to outside materials.

So, I been experimenting with an AI chat bot(Le chat), partially as life coach of sorts and partially as a fine tuned web search engine. To cut to the chase, its bad. when its not just listing google top results it list tools that are long gone or just makes shit up. I was hoping it to be a fine tuned search engine, cuz with google, if what you want is not in the top 10 websites, your on your own.

So yeah, that all I can think of. Those are all the routes I can think of for finding information and probably all there is but maybe I missed some other routes.

I got rid of my window from my secondary partition(gaming addiction) and now I have a 128 GB m.d. i have been running Linux mint for most of my Linux experience but want to try out something out side the traditional windows setup

I have tried those setups

• Linux mint xfce
• Linux mint cinnamon
• fedora workstation(gnome)
• fedora silverblue(gnome immutable)
• fedora kde
• majaro cinnamon

I would hope for sometimes were the learning curve isn't too extreme for me(i3 was too much)

Two years or so tried fedora Silverblue and one the main issue i run into was storage. I had 180 GB SSD at the time and it filled to 90-something in a week. Now i have a 240 GB SSD and thing of try an immutable distro but worried about the storage space.

Anyone got insight into how big an SSD do i need?

I have been looking for doctors, saving numbers, emails and working hours in a onlyoffice spreadsheet but its not really readable at a glance. Looked around for an address books app but neither gnome calendar nor Thunderbird meet my needs.

The features I would like in an address-book( not all of them are strictly need) are:

-custom fields. -ability to customize address fields to include stuff like landmarks, floors and district(could also do with removing stuff like Postal box or countries). -custom labels for fields like phone numbers(WhatsApp,telegram) or instant messaging(discord)

Not a priority

-add notes, maybe even add multiple notes to contact. -calendar integration, with ability to add dates to contacts that can include notes.

Did try cardbook Thunderbird add-on but it is mostly unresponsive. On gitlab, the last comits was from 4 years ago and the last released version was from 2018, dispite that, Thunderbird addon store still keeps receiving new version, even in 2026 and issues are still being opened with developer responding,even a few hours ago.

All to say, I think it went close source

Anyhow, I am not opposed proprietary apps necessary(would still pick open source if its an option) just wanted to note the add-on being close source(I think) for people in case anyone wants to know.

Looking for a link archiving tool to save links that i have no intention of viewing anytime soon. it needs to be able to sort bookmarks by folders and sub-folders, tags are just not my thing. It doesn't have to be anything crazy but it needs to be offline first and have the ability to export bookmarks in a readable format

Part of it is that i have limited storage in terms of what i can archive, so the next best thing is save the links to YT and websites. If they are gone in the future, it is what it is. I also want my browser bookmark manager to be clutter free without the pressure of removing bookmarks all the time.

Also, i don't want to use any note talking apps, there are too many links and it just defeat the point of the app.

Does the speed/location of repos factor into your choose of distro? I am in Egypt and while linux mint repos speeds are fine when updating and installing here, fedora and manjaro are incredibility slow, manjaro especially is the slowest, like maybe 30 minutes or more slow for an install that takes a few minutes in linux mint

I am assuming that ppl in the USA/Europe don't have this problem. Does anyone else have this same issue.

In stories, especially creepypasta, its sounds more like a magical contract than a piece of paper

Like if a private organisation hired you to kill people, a NDA doesn't somehow make that legal and you can't get sued for breaking the contract.

So, what is the legal extent of NDA?
