Yes. But if I wanted to be petty I would have switched over to Gentoo.

Nah. It's a (biased) personal interpretation of what "good" "safe" "family-friendly" content means for lemmy users. Idk much about Hexbear's content but isn't it possible to label their posts as NSFW incase of visibly violent content or something similar.

The users who disagree with Hexbear's overall comments know where the block button is. It's not that complicated a solution. People should use more of it instead of looking for reasons to get mad.

So communists are not welcome on lemmy.world or what? What even is a Hexbear? How different is this move from when Elon decided to reinstate every banned account apart from Alex Jones'? How thin is the skin of lemmy.world mods? What's the point of censorship on this platform? I can go to Reddit and Twitter if I want protection from communist ideologies??

Google has been so far very quiet on this issue. I wonder why.

9/10 desktop applications I use are flatpaks. Am on Arch and even when there's an AUR for a package I'd prefer to use Flatpak. Just so I can use Flatseal to control permissions access on my applications.

Nothing too fancy other than following the recommended security practices. And to be aware of and regularly monitor the potential security holes of the servers/services I have open.

Even though semi-related, and commonly frowned upon by admins, I have unattended upgrades on my servers and my most of my services are auto-updated. If an update breaks a service, I guess its an opportunity to earn some more stripes.

Most people do not have to a reason to care about privacy, until the day their private comms/data gets leaked and abused is when they will give a damn.

Valory noted in his statement that the company was significantly impacted by the slowdown.

He added that the company is still expected to see 30% growth this year.

Which is which?
