I saw it as an open source Reddit alternative a few years ago and signed up, then left and went back to Reddit because nobody was using it. Then the API stuff happened, some Reddit users switched to Lemmy so I've been browsing it now, switched between a few instances and am now back here.

(I do wish it had more communities for specific topics and locations like Reddit has, and ironically a lot of FOSS discussion is still on Reddit also.)

I love self-hosted Bitwarden, whenever my server goes down or there's a power outage and I'm out of town, my extensions and sometimes apps stop working and now I can't access my passwords. Currently experiencing this right now, I might switch to KeepassXC after this

Hey do you want to go get some pizza after work? BTW I love this new messenger called Lemmy, I feel so much safer that we're not being spied on! C ya

Teens are on Facebook?

I'm addicted to my laptop and basically any social media platform. Block one and I'll find plenty of others to waste my time on.

The packages get updates fairly quickly for a non-rolling release distro, and the distro is more batteries-included and tends to adopt newer technologies like BTRFS faster than other distros. It also has the immutable Silverblue variant which looks neat although I've never used it myself.

Trump is targeting mostly far-right evangelicals who have a common vision on what they want the country to look like. He has a lot of energy when doing so, and because of how similar their interests are he could get away with all sorts of stuff and they would still vote for him.

Harris (and Democrats in general) is the only alternative mainstream candidate that everyone else has, and that "everyone else" consists of all sorts of people with conflicting interests: liberals, neoliberals, centrists, progressives, leftists, different religious groups or cultures, varying economic demographics, racial minorities, LGBTQ, and immigrants for instance. They're trying to appeal to all of them at once, but because they don't have a shared vision, nobody is happy and they get more scrutinized. To make at least some of them happy, they need to focus on certain groups and deprioritize the interests of other groups. However, once they do that then the groups they deprioritize get angry since they no longer have representation, and the groups that are still there remain skeptical because of the history of not working for their interests in the past.

The advantage that third parties like PSL have is that from the start, they're trying to appeal to a specific group of people with a common vision like Trump is instead of trying to play both sides with conflicting groups and making nobody happy. The problem (aside from the election duopoly bought out by corporations) is that they are a very small political minority so they have no real chance of winning the election without winning over people from other groups which is a challenge, especially when there are many more unknowns when it comes to progressing than there are when it comes to reverting to a previous state so there is more fragmentation due to those sort of disagreements.

I'm in the US where my doctor doesn't give a fuck about my autoimmune condition nor answers any questions I ask except for just renewing my prescription and I have to pay $300 every visit for it

I see four Linux logos and one of them looks suspiciously out of place
