I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
A “private” instagram account or story was never actually private, but that distinction is still helpful when recommending alternatives IMO
Then you can use something like libredirect with kittygram to view any Instagram only content in a privacy respecting way, like if you open a link
The mod in !selfhosted@lemmy.world has done a good job of updating the rules to deal with those. It seems like some SEO or supply chain scheme.
The ones mentioned in OP seem to be one user that is spreading their questions around multiple accounts, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if they’re posted at a rate that would be fine with a single account, and if they aren’t using more than one account in a particular thread.
From what I remember about the deletion pattern, one of the accounts claimed to be doing it for mental health reasons. Whether that is true or not, to me it felt like they were creating bait posts to rile people up. People saw through it most of the time
We do have bots, but at least some of the weird activity mentioned in this post seems to be from a handful of real people that are using the platform in a weird way
Do you have an article about that? I don’t remember hearing about this
Legal requests by law enforcement / government can often be followed up on. If someone was unmasked in a way that could be used in court, then we’d see it being used in court?
This is actually a pretty interesting video, I think the clickbait title killed the post.
This community does allow you to modify the title, may I suggest something like “How space control can help a player score in a football game, with data analysis and visualizations”
I haven’t tried anything other than KDE plasma, but Niri looked interesting. CachyOS has Limine as a boot manager option, and I liked it
The distro has a lot of desktop environment options in general
CachyOS is pretty popular right now :)
Each instance is run by a different team, often based in different countries and jurisdictions. Day to day, the main differences will be around content policies (moderation, how openly federated it is)
It’s like picking between different email providers, just that all have more or less the same features.
We have these guides too
Even
Some muppets always trying to ice-skate uphill. Or well, ice-skate in general.
Based on the registration applications, I think getting banned is a lot less common than people think. Most people are checking out the fediverse because of other problems on reddit, whether its the ads, bots, monetization related changes, hateful content, privacy concerns, manipulation, trump related concerns, etc
We do get the occasional “I’m here because I got banned”, but the vast majority is “I’m curious about what this place is like”.
Now isn’t hard evidence on its own, but I’d also bet that when the first category joins, they’re often looking for a place to vent about their ban. When the second category joins, they rarely announce their newness.
If there is room, then its easy enough to just say “Excuse me” and scoot past
I read this post as being the case where there isn’t enough room
Certain fingerprint readers and touchscreens

It’s not the fault of Linux, it’s the hardware manufacturers. Still, you need to consider it before buying the device
I think this is a microphone with noise isolation, rather than noise cancelation from speakers.
I think the disagreement or misunderstanding comes from the premise
If we had a different world where it was impossible to lie or hide anything, then a lot of our current problems would be gone. Meanwhile a lot of new problems might come up
In this world, if you can’t enforce that everyone stays completely open and honest, then it is in everyone’s best interest to keep certain pieces of information private
We do, but it’s a lot easier to have a personal device that you can bring into lectures and labs, and then take home with you.
With some classes, it is expected that you have a personal device. There are laptops that you can borrow, but again you need to go in to borrow and return it each day and download/upload your files each time.
IMO what we need is a student society Linux user group that advocates for classes to drop bad software and confirms that a particular class is ok. This would help non-linux users too since some of the windows-macos-only software is straight up spyware.
I do not and so I shouldn’t be one to judge
Is it data that could be recovered if needed? That’s where my concern is coming from. Not being able to back it up to fix OS issues might mean that you can’t back it up at all

I also have 2FA set up, let me know if you need that one
That sounds like a problem that you should deal with even if you stay on Windows 😄 Maybe I just enjoy organizing things
I had the same problem when I was in university. My concern with dual booting was if something went wrong, such as a bad windows update borking the bootloader. I didn’t have easy access to a second device and I couldn’t afford downtime during the term. There are also issues around clock sync or bios updates, and if you NEED windows for one course then its a pain to switch back and forth all day. Finally there are the unknown unknowns, I was new to Linux at the time and didn’t know what could go wrong.
I made do with WSL and switched over when I graduated. Looking back, I probably could have switched much sooner, but I get the concern
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-spirit
Its an umbrella term that is more common in North America
Two-spirit (also known as two spirit or occasionally twospirited,[a] or abbreviated as 2S,[b] especially in Canada) is a contemporary pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) social role in their communities.[2][3][4][5]
That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for
Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury
