You’re right-- I am in the States, but your input is still welcome!
I don’t have an Awesome Socks subscription, but I do have a Sun Basin Soap one with good.store! I like Daydreamer, even though it sorta reminds me of allspice (and therefore chicken).
Snaps are a relatively recent way of packaging application installations in certain flavors of Linux. Steam is Valve’s game distribution platform (amongst other things).
There’s an unofficial Snap package to install Steam and it apparently doesn’t work so good
Thanks for the input, all! I’ve had a bunch of the more ‘obvious’ ones down, but there are a few that I hadn’t heard of (like CASA and Feeding America, who I have ‘equivalents’ to but will likely diversify out to), or hadn’t thought to contribute to (Propublica, UNHCR). Good stuff, everybody.
Without substantial growth after being cut off from the activity of the fediverse, Beehaw would not be large enough to stave off serious atrophy. The lemmy/kbin end of the fediverse is already very slow to begin with.
Despite being an ECE major, I didn’t really bother doing anything with Linux until two things happened at the same time:
I started having to work in several different build environments that were just easier to set up in Linux
I started running Minecraft servers/doing server modding (starting back in the days of Hey0’s server mod and carrying up through Bukkit).
I wouldn’t call myself an evangelist at all. If you’re doing something that I think will be specifically easier to do in Linux (mostly servers and specific kinds of software development), I’ll point out how… but I find that a lot of people’s advice on “use Linux and X FOSS tool” ends up being akin to giving someone bike shopping advice on which welding torch to use to construct their bicycle frame.
It’ll happen if Lemmy gets big enough. I only worry about search engines getting tangled in the natural duplication of Lemmy posts.
Like, if a web crawler sees a Beehaw post, and then seees Lemmy.ml’s mirrored page of that same post, could it just show up as two different results? Could it work against the SEO in that it gets marked as “duplicate” or “spam” content in some way?
