Sterile_Technique, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

“it’s like 50 intertwined tiny reddits from before reddit enshitified”

joyjoy,

And unlike previous attempts at Reddit clones, it’s not entirely made of far right extremists. It’s full of far left extremists.

Pyr_Pressure, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

Ya, I only allow them for apps that I want to be notified for like email, Lemmy, etc basically messaging stuff.

If you don’t then some app somewhere is going to send you an ad as a “notification” which pisses me off to no end.

corsicanguppy, in How many tabs do you have open?

5-6 per open project at work and other work, so, about a thousand.

Really about 50-80 in 20 windows because I’ve only just learned of tab groups.

Rooki, in What Linux distro should I choose?

I moved away from Windows few months ago, and i would recommend linux mint, its easy, stable and beginner friendly. And you can of course Distro Hop to another distro. And with steams proton or wine (almost) every game can be run! For those few that doesnt run good or at all, you can still dual boot windows and linux mint.

My wild guess: “Jay” stands for “Jordans”, that is, a pair of shoes which are deemed to be very cool by most kids.

So, “Jay AF” could mean “cool as fuck”.

KISSmyOS, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Use Linux Mint until you know what other distro fits you better.

polygon6121, (edited ) in What Linux distro should I choose?

I am a experienced Linux user and I just use Ubuntu. Community support is good and it just works and gets out of your way, with that said I probably fiddle more with it than I realise… Depending on the system you install it on there is also a possibility that the hardware is tested and supported by the manufacturer. In my case I use it on a Thinkpad p52 workstation and a Dell XPS 13, both of which was/is sold with Ubuntu versions. And if you don’t like it just distrohop and go crazy, it can honestly be a lot of fun and a learning experience in itself Edit: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Long Term Support)

AnonStoleMyPants, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Honestly, just go with Ubuntu. If there are any problems you can very easily find answers. Second option would be the get something Ubuntu based, like Mint and Pop OS. Being based in it basically means they take Ubuntu and modify a bit to their liking but at the core they’re Ubuntu, meaning that almost everything you find for Ubuntu will work for them.

You can always switch later to something else if you feel like it.

1stTime4MeInMCU, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Unless you want to f around just install Ubuntu and be done with it

Jay, obviously, is a person who isn’t from the city — hence the term, Jaywalking! JK, but that is a real thing. It’s probably not the real answer here.

cmgvd3lw, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Smart watches and privacy don’t go hand in hand. Also dont want to own another product that i need to worry about charging. But if i am going to buy one ever, it would be garmin. I heard pretty good things about it here in europe.

Idk, the Garmin Connect App is also not great in terms of privacy. And so far, only one Garmin product works with Gadgetbridge

cmgvd3lw,

But i think mozilla put them in their good list

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

True, I’ve just checked up on that. The devices themselves don’t do anything creepy, but the app contains a few trackers according to Exodus Privacy, which is not ideal if you want to use everything to its full extent

Floey, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I go old school and rock a pocket watch (my cellphone).

INHALE_VEGETABLES,

Kids today need to look the fuck up.

Is there a sun in the sky? Yes, well get back to work. No? Then shut up.

mog77a, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
@mog77a@lemmy.world avatar

Why choose?

I wear both.

A regular watch for telling the time and a smart watch (Fitbit sense) for notifications and general fitness tracking.
