Lemmy is only 4% of the fediverse by user %. Most of the fediverse is Mastodon.

Gnome is certainly the most polished. They just need to get over the ultra minimalism though, because it is completely non functional without installing a thousand extensions.

Why they aren’t bringing back the dock is beyond insanity though. 3 million+ people agree, the dock needs to come back along with the application and places drop-down like it was in gnome 2.

SaaSS (service as a software substitute) bullshit

It is common for SaaSS dis-services to charge a monthly fee for use. Usually one SaaSS site does not substitute for another, so if users become unhappy with one dis-service provider it is no easy matter to switch to another. When users become dependent on one, it can gouge them at will with repeated small price increases that over time add up to a lot. We view the loss of freedom inherent in SaaSS as worse than the cost in money, but when a dis-service has you over a barrel, the cost can be painful. Thus, even users who don’t see deeper than the bottom line should beware of SaaSS.

Businesses should host their own servers.

i think you mean content, little bit different meaning than contempt ;)

You’re not really convincing anyone.

Like 90% of everyone here already uses Linux, and those who do use Windows only use it because they are forced to because of work or some proprietary program that Linux doesn’t currently have.

Grammatically it can be properly read either way, but I think you’re right that’s probably how they meant it.

Metaverse. mozilla.social is the fediverse

Just as a minor correction - Librecalc can do tables. Why they didn’t call it tables and bind it to CTRL&T is beyond me though. link

select the cells -> Data -> AutoFilter

I create them with CTRL&T through the custom shortcuts in options. They work about the same as Excel.

Librecalc is a little rough, but I’m actually starting to find it superior in functionality and customization compared to MS. And it’s about 10x faster on very large spreadsheets for me.

I would also definitely recommend using use dark mode if you’re going to use calc. Options -> Application Colors -> LibreOffice Dark

1 ton per person for living quarters, supplies, etc. I’m not sure if life support is part of that, and also not sure how exactly they settled on 1 ton.

SpaceX has stated that Starship, in its “baseline reuseable design”, will have a payload capacity of 100–150 t (220,000–331,000 lb)

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship

The two PCs were identical hardware btw, so in my case Live just worked 10x better.

As much as I personally dislike Musk, Starship does not belong on that list. It is the largest and most powerful space vehicle humanity has ever launched successfully and landed! It is re-usable and can potentially carry up to 100 people or 300,000 lbs of cargo.

Nothing like that has ever been done before, and the advancements in science that will follow humanities expansion into space cannot be overstated.

because it has the potential to be sustainable, cheaper, and less explosive. It’s not technically superior as far as energy density goes, but right now batteries are prohibitive in many applications, moreso due to cost than weight.

I’ve only recently switched to Debian after a couple decades with Ubuntu (because snaps) and I had a few issues during installation.

The net install failed to configure my wifi so I had to download the DVD/CD install. That worked but then I had to manually nano several config files to fix about 5 broken things for some reason.

I installed it recently on a different system, and went with the Live option (gnome) and it installed 10x easier and smoother than Ubuntu. It installed in about 4 minutes (on a new/fast computer).

So I would say Debian Live is VERY beginner friendly, but the other install methods are all messed up for some reason. Ubuntu’s default option is the Live option so I think that if Debian just kinda hid the other options on their website it would be 100% beginner friendly…

Sodium is the future of batteries right now.

Projections from BNEF suggest that sodium-ion batteries could reach pack densities of nearly 150 watt-hours per kilogram by 2025. And some battery giants and automakers in China think the technology is already good enough for prime time. 1

+1 for them not exploding too.

yeah but think of what would be lost when the saying, “Don’t make me turn this car around!” is never uttered again. The loss of decades of tradition… ;)

This is going to sound like a tangent, but I think car centricity holds a lot of blame for many societal issues.

150 years ago you would just walk wherever you needed to go 99% of the time. Now we drive 99% of the time. Most people don’t have a strong community/village physically in the real world. This lack of interpersonal interaction leads to lack of empathy to some degree among society.

Lack of empathy makes it all about me and not society. That at least marginally contributes to income inequality among other issues.

We can improve society on a national, state and local level by advocating for pedestrian improvements. I would argue walkability of cities is one of the greatest issues of the 21st century, and historians will hopefully classify this century as one in which we realized our past errors and took steps to correct them.
