As the other commenter said, time shift will save you too. Snapper built into Tumbleweed is pretty good though as well as YasT.

As an NVIDIA user, snapper has saved me multiple times.

Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn’t imagine Keepass+syncthing.

Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.

Hahaha, touché. To be fair though, a lot of people struggle with email.

And if an easier version of email existed, email mightn’t have caught on.

He’s more than capable of joining the fediverse, but he’s also a UI/UX designer. I would say his main issue with the fediverse is the amount of friction between a normie being exposed to the concept and actually signing up and engaging with it.

You have to admit that it isn’t the simplest thing to do. People have to understand the concept of the fediverse, find an instance that will accept them, sign up (with confirmation required from the instance mods) and then find out how to find communities that they are interested in.

It’s not about whether a tech-savvy person can figure it out with some effort, it’s about whether normal people can transition away from a monolithic, streamlined, social media to it.

Maybe it’s cause I’m a dad now but this really resonates with me.

He has to be aware how niche his passion is, but he does it anyway in defiance.

Ah okay, I’m not sure then.

Was that updating with “zypper dup”? I’ve heard going through discover or zypper update isn’t the recommended way strictly speaking, so its worth mentioning.

Opensuse tumbleweed. The packages go through a testing process unlike Fedora AFAIK.

Indeed, clearly an inferior OS.

Opensuse tumbleweeds, superior to Jimmy, has come as a best of both worlds.

Great answer, thanks!

What is the big difference between Cosmic and Gnome? I know System76 are developing it so I would imagine they have a problem with Gnome and their hardware business.

I used popOS! for a year and did get annoyed that Gnome required extensions that were not necessarily maintained in order to allow for what I considered to be basic customisation.

On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE now, but interested to see what the philosophical difference is between Gnome and Cosmic.

We all know black-pilled Linux from scratch is the best. Gentoo is just a bit too bloated.

Just to add to the noise… I’m shocked that Obsidian is not the number one app that people are talking about. Didn’t even know there were so many other great options, to be honest.

Edit: it’s because it’s not open source. The plugins all have to be open source, and it is free as in beer. I’m keeping this comment up.

Oh yeah, we’re not at the sweet spot for mass yet. 10 times bigger would still be fine IMO!

I completely agree.

Reddit is worse because of its size, resulting in problems with spam/low effort posts and comments.

This smaller size is a bit of a double-edged sword though. If I want to discuss cooking/chef knives with people, for example, there isn’t a niche community specifically for that topic. Maybe in this way it’s best for people to head outside of Lemmy to other forums for more specific interests, and Lemmy can be more tech/general discussion oriented.

I haven’t quite figured that out yet.

I think it’s because people trend a lot older on Lemmy than Reddit. I imagine a lot of the more vile opinions you see on Reddit are teenagers. I’ve not seen much unhealthy discussion/ad hominen on Lemmy yet.

AKA the “I cooked my install” button.

The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
