Tildes fits that description. The posts are text-only or links to websites. No memes.

I use that site in addition to Lemmy, not as a replacement but a supplement. It's just a different flavor of discussion.

It's invite-only but I can give you an invitation code if you're interested. Take a look, see if you like it, and send me a private message if you want an invitation.

See rules 5, 6, and 7 in the sidebar.

Yes, SELinux is enabled (in "enforcing" mode) by default in Fedora. In my experience, it doesn't hamper usability.

I remember seeing old advice from blogs and listicles about turning it off, on the theory that it might get in the way. But it's better to leave it on if you care about security -- especially if you want to learn.

When SELinux blocks a piece of software from doing something sketchy, an alert is generated to explain what happened and why. That's rare but it's a learning opportunity for you, not to mention preventing a potential security threat.

Maybe it'll be the SWiitch.

Cloudflare's 1.1.1.2 blocks known malware domains, so that's better than 1.1.1.1 unless you want nothing blocked.

If you want to block ads and trackers in addition to malware, try ControlD's 76.76.2.2 .

Better still is to use encrypted DNS if your device supports it. I like NextDNS or ControlD for that, as DNS-Over-TLS or -HTTPS.

[S]ince ill-conceived right-wing boycotts rarely tend to hurt the businesses they target in the long term, it’s entirely plausible that the true outcome of this backlash is fewer passengers spewing toxic politics to their seatmates. Friendly skies, indeed.

Well played, Rolling Stone.

The middle ground is to put a defined limit on news consumption, like 5 minutes per day. That's enough to stay aware of major events but not so much that you'd necessarily get wrapped up in excessive worrying about irrelevant items. NPR, the BBC, and probably others, offer 5-minute audio news briefs updated hourly. These are available to stream on demand like a podcast. I wouldn't recommend listening hourly but the point is they're up to date at any single time in the day, which you might choose as your daily news blast. Then just tune out, literally and figuratively.
