TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → ...grass?

It's definitely the first thing I thought of too

This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.

I have a feeling even the bottom 10% of Europeans are still contributing more than the bottom 10% of someone in India or Botswana. This Wikipedia page says that the average EU citizen contributes 117% of the global average carbon emissions (for comparison Canada is 307% and USA is 285%).

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it's always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

Cheers

FTA:

In response to the closure of the library entrance to Canadians—who represent at least half of the library’s clientele—the Haskell did what libraries do: found a way to serve its community anyway. It opened a back door, allowing all Canadians to continue to access the library via a small storage room, without crossing the border. Haskell also set up a fundraising drive to renovate this entrance and make it more accessible, asking for $100,000. In under two weeks, it raised $170,000 and counting. The library is essential. The community and the country at large are responding.

Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

It's not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.

If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it's likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?
