Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.

What’s Misskey? Never heard of! Time to check.

For a moment I thought the “here’s how” meant “here’s how to play in mud and dirt”. Let’s do it like pros, folks!

Cheers! Got a bit clearer now.

Appreciated if someone can explain what is the problem and its context in simple terms 🙏

I understand the GNU “framework” is built on free, open source software. So I don’t understand how one can “discover” that there were pieces of non-free software there… They were put there by mistake?

Just wanted to applaud the fact that you’ve come here asking people, rather than asking some large language model.

Personally I disagree on value of sex/nude scenes – but it’s a subjective matter of course. Your final argument is absolutely fair and logical, and very general too. Extremely well put – I subscribe 110% to it!

It seems to me these scenes are introduced in films to sexualize them. Most often than not they don’t add anything to the story. But blood & sex get more viewers. So I find the whole thing hypocritical.

Brings me to mind an episode of the hilarious series “Coupling”, where Jeff says that the actress in the film “The Piano” (?) was naked in the whole film. His friends say she wasn’t, it was only a scene in the film. And Jeff replies “it depends on how you watch it” 🤣

Agree 110%! It’s sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time…

I’ve tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it’s people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this “part” of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.

Looks very promising! thank you for sharing. Seems worth trying and supporting.

I didn’t know about !matrix, cheers!!

Which can be further summarized: academics (🙋🏻) are basically a bunch of idiotic sheep, despite being in academia.

Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I’ll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.

Thank you, that’s useful info, I didn’t know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Good to hear from many people that it was reliable.

Thanks for the encouragement, I will! I’ll report here in case anyone is curious.

Thank you for such a thorough and informative answer! And for sharing your user experience too. I had not heard about GnomeOS. As soon as I have some days to experiment, I’ll give Neon a try.

Thank you for sharing this! Yesterday I was searching online for Tumbleweed user experiences on Thinkpad, but I only found info about older Thinkpad models. I’ll try it from a live disk. I might also switch to Framework later on…

Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask which machine you’re using? (I’m on a Thinkpad.)
