  • The joke is about the bin/ directory on Linux, which contains the binaries of the system (also called executables) which can break the system if you delete it, and also refer to the paper bin where all your trash files go and people tend to delete usually.














  • Maybe what I will say is not exactly what you are looking for but it can help, try using RethinkDNS, it is an open source app that works as a firewall and can completely remove ads from many apps without doing anything special, you simply need to turn on the app and that’s it.

    I would also recommend “Auto mute”, it is another open source app that cannot filter sound by app, but can filter by type of sound, for example, you can disable the audio of specifically game-type apps. For example, I have Auto Mute configured so that it automatically silences all multimedia sound, so, if I watch a YouTube video it starts silently and when I increase the volume I can clearly hear it, but if I close the app and open another video, now the app would be silenced again until I manually turned up the multimedia sound again.

    I think the same, I doubt that Termux will ever replace the comfort of a terminal on a laptop or desktop PC, but for certain occasions it is very useful, like avoiding downloading full apps when I can install only one package that does the same thing, in the case of yt-dlp.







  • I think on Reddit most mods were volunteers, those who were paid were the admins.

    And so far I haven’t encountered any problems with moderators personally although not long ago there was a problem with a community (c/shitposting) where some unscrupulous users started to upload child pornography (CP) (another term is used but I don’t remember) in the comments as images and that sucked because Lemmy unlike Reddit has no automatic post deletion tool (like bots) or enough moderation tools (as I have read from some moderators) and you must consider that the instances are maintained by people like you and me without any legal backing, if I have an instance where I federated with you and someone uploads CP to your instance, that CP will be in my own instance and that can have serious legal consequences for everyone. and besides, since moderators are volunteers they can’t spend all day checking every post and comment because they have a real life out there.
