Same! I went with CF because I refuse to ever use SquareSpace because they have ads in every podcast

I'm like 99% sure that name recognition is one of the two important reasons people vote for a candidate; the other is party affilation.

Last day a sprint for me too, lol. At least we weren't in the middle of any big releases. Hope everything went okay on your end.

TL;DR usernames in the new system are more like friend codes than usernames; Discord should treat them as such

I like pretty well. I've been on reddit for over a decade now, and the UI on Lemmy is kinda like a combination of the good parts of old and new reddit to me.

People here are nice (maybe that's because my home instance is Beehaw...); and I like the small community.

Tumblr itself still exists and is active. Redditors from some of the more LGBT and lefty subs have left for Tumblr too

This is part of why Voat (pre fatpeoplehate ban turning it into a right wing shit hole) was a ghosttown. The majority of the active communities there were just complaining about different aspects of reddit instead of trying to share and discuss content.

Pretty much! The Arch Wiki has some decent documentation on it (despite the name, aside from package names, it's pretty much distro agnostic these days)

Stardew Valley is really lightweight and Linux native.

Since you mentioned battery being an issue and that you just switched to Linux, have you looked into using TLP or Powertop to try doing some tweaks to squeeze out a bit more? It's been years since I've used Linux on a laptop, but that's what I used.

Seconding OpenMW! Don't let the upcoming release being unfinished dissuade you from playing! I played through the whole game back in 2015 with OpenMW on a crappy laptop with about as many bugs as is normal for a Bethesda game.

The did great work to get it to that point back then, and I'm sure it's even better now.

Saw this recommended by Pocket in the newtab page and it caught my eye. Was a decent read and I thought people here might like it.

Me kinda? I'm adjacent. I think. I've been in and out as a lurker in the fandom for the past decade or so. I still don't have a sona... mostly because I can't decide what species.

Reddit has always been full of teenagers. But it's gotten "worse" over the past few years. Or maybe I (we've?) just gotten older. I don't remember reddit being like this 10 years ago; but I was 10 years younger, and a teen too.
