I'm wondering what you all might think of a feature allowing you to group certain communities you're subscribed to into groups. So like, if you wanted a news group you could put in c/technology, c/news, etc, etc. And then you could switch to that group feed whenever you want just content from those news communities. Would this be practical? Possible? Would anyone use this?

Arch Enemy fucking rocks. Angela and Alyssa are both badass and are probably my first time seeing a woman do harsh vocals like that.

Women in Metal (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Inspired by this post, I wanted to make a post asking about your favorite metal bands with women in them and maybe your favorite release from them too.

For me, that'd be Crypta. They're a Brazilian Death Metal band made up of only women. Their Shades of Sorrow album is absolutely incredible with some really mean vocals and great riffing.

If I were to, hypothetically, want to weld my asshole shut, how should I go about doing this? Is it even possible? What might be the repercussions of doing this?

For context, I have zero experience in welding and the human anatomy so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

For a lot of people, it's a community thing. I'm a member on Orpheus and they have a lot of great community stuff like Album of the Month, user made scripts, tutorials, forums, etc. They can also have a lot higher quality content and moderation because they're so "exclusive". And, for music, a private tracker is gonna be 100x better than a public one or Soulseek.

This would depend on the distro you use. Most distros will require you to enable a non-free repository before you can install anything that isn't Foss or open source from the official repos. You could also use an FSF approved distro. Keep in mind, the FSF will only approve distros that don't include any non-free anything in the official repos. Besides that, you just have to know the licensing before you install it.

Soulseek and Torrent sites would be my suggestion. I'm able to seed 24/7 and would be willing to help if you want it.

Generally I've found the people who say this get privacy and secrecy confused. You close the door when you go to the bathroom because you want privacy, not because you have anything to hide. Everyone has a pretty good idea what you're doing in there but you close the door anyways. Secrecy would be if you were cooking Meth in the bathroom and wanted to keep it a secret.

You should be able to use adbshell with shizuku (both in f-droid) to remove whatever you won't use. I doubt there's any custom Roms that'll help here though. If you're willing to root the phone then you can probably find some way to get what you want.

  • Great for beginners
  • Uses it's own configuration language so no coding required
  • One of the most popular window managers so documentation and such is plentiful
  • Has a 1:1 Wayland fork called Sway
  • Is a manual tiling window manager which means you specify where a window will appear when you go to launch something.

AwesomeWM

  • Is awesome
  • Configured in Lua
  • Has a great status bar built in
  • Great documentation
  • Is a dynamic tilling window manager meaning it places new windows in accordance with a preset layout.

Qtile

  • My favorite
  • Has a 1:1 Wayland version built-in
  • Configured in Python
  • The best status bar I've used
  • Great documentation
  • Dynamic tiler

XMonad (Note: never used this so take this how you will)

  • Configured in Haskell
  • Has a lot of dependencies
  • Extremely configurable
  • Dynamic tiler

There're many more window managers out there but these are the ones I've personally used (besides XMonad) and know the most about.

If you don't like a built in status bar then you can disable it in the config and use another one like Polybar. Distrotube (on Odyssey or Youtube) also has really good videos on all of these window managers and more which I really recommend you check out if you haven't already.

Personally though, I think Qtile will give you the best experience.

Personally I would recommend Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu so any issues should be easy to find and fix online. It's very similar in terms of the actual desktop to Windows instead of being completely different like Pop!OS. You should also be able to completely avoid the command line as well though I do encourage you to have your friend learn at least some of the basics so he at least knows how to use it.

Not sure how to help with this but as a temporary workaround you can append an "&" after the command to make it run even after the terminal is closed. Should look like steam --restart &.

Personally I use the torrent ip check on ipleak.net. You just add the magnet to your client and it'll fail itself and then list the ip on the site.

If Reddit were to revert it's changes to 3rd party apps would you stay on Lemmy or move back to Reddit?
