Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I'm not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

The algorithm sucks too. When I sort by "hot" I get days old threads. "Ht" needs to prioritise both popularity and recency

I understand that that's the point of it, but it runs contrary the network effect that makes social media valuable, and creates too much of a barrier of entry to new users.

When Twitter became woefully unpopular, I heard several different podcasters say something along the lines of "For now we're still on Twitter. We'll move onto Mastodon once I work out how to use it", and none of them ever joined. If content creators don't join a network because it's too difficult to join compared to other networks, then content consumers will have no reason to join either.

It's no coincidence that the biggest community on lemmy.ml is Linux.

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university

Australia: Very unusual. I'll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think "fucking weirdos". It's more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It's more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

  • I log into my instance (lemmy.ml) and click a post on the front page that's hosted on another lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world).

  • I post a comment, which works fine, becase it opens within a container in lemmy.ml, where I'm registered

  • I get a reply which open in my inbox.

  • I go to inbox and click "show context", to know what comment chain I'm replying to.

  • Now I'm bounced to a different instance and can't reply in an instance tha I'm not registered in

Is there any way to handle this? To view the comment chain without being bounced to a post that you can't reply to, despite posting on it earlier?

It's a term that broadly refers to people with more experience in a technology and more ability to extract use from it.

Usually there'll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that's 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you'll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you'll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just donloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1
