Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I’m not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an “instance” is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a “thing” to have different instances of the same site iteracting.

Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It’s not a “big lie”. I’m currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they’re not loading for some reason. I’m confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

Australia: Very unusual. I’ll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think “fucking weirdos”. It’s more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It’s more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

The great thing about using free open-source software is the immunity from corporate shenanigans.

It’s a term that broadly refers to people with more experience in a technology and more ability to extract use from it.

Ads and data mining

Usually there’ll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that’s 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you’ll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you’ll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

I’m having mixed success among these https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/wiki/📺-Movies---TV---Anime---Sports

Currently users of Lemmy are “power users”. The fact that power users can’t even work out how to use Lemmy ‘properly’ is sign of its future

I’m still on Reddit. I have no emotional connection to any social media platform, so I’m not personally offended by the actions of Reddit’s management. I use whatever platform provides the most entertainment, which in the future might be both Lemmy and Reddit

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I’ve just donloaded Ubuntu.

I’m getting basic display issues that I’ve never got in another distro (including tails!) and it’s generally annoying me. I’d rather use a distro that doesn’t require troubleshooting on Day 1
