Hacker News works fine. Can’t vouch for the others, since I don’t touch corporate “AI” if I can help it.

QubesOS. When you need security and don’t need to play games, this is objectively the best distro.

NixOS for me. It’s a package manager (a very nice, declarative one) that you can use on any Linux (or Mac), and there’s also an entire distro based on it.

Thank you for this! Gonna download it ASAP.

I block meme communities and AI art. I’ll unblock AI art once the machines figure out how fingers work. I don’t block porn except when it’s outside of my interests (I’m not into men or furries, for example).

You might consider unblocking the meta communities - it can sometimes be illuminating to see how other places are run, and give you ideas to improve your own instance.

We don’t have downvotes on my instance, and it’s an amazing difference. I recommend it!

I generally just upvote everything I like, no real thought process involved.

As someone who routinely watches YT through Invidious and NewPipe, I haven’t changed my habits.

The Electoral College.

I’m not into feet specifically, but when I ask for “Veronica Mars in a string bikini” I don’t want to get “Veronica Mars with unattached toes.” It’s distracting AF.

Doesn’t happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.

The tech isn’t there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn’t really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.

My lifehack: block every community with “memes” in its name. You’ll see far fewer memes in general, and be less aggravated when one does show up!

Corporations always go bad over time. Hopefully more and more people will realize this.

No mod capability, or at least not that I’m aware of. But it does run on Android! https://f-droid.org/packages/me.thanel.dank/

I use Dawn. It still works!

Breakups suck, and there’s no shortcut to getting through them.

Time will help you heal. You will go through the morning cycle - look it up, if you need a refresher - and the end of the cycle is “acceptance”. Look forward to it!

Zip the file(s), then GPG symmetric encryption/decryption with AES. Nothing fancy.

There’s also the risk of users saving and distributing confidential data. You don’t need admin rights for that! I’m not actually sure this applies to OP, but if he’s giving everyone a web browser, it certainly seems like a risk.

Vim is the greatest tool ever made for manipulating text as text. Emacs is easier to modify (I <3 Lisp) and is better at handling the semantics of the text it’s working with.

Also, Emacs has evil-mode now, so the only reason to still prefer Vim is 1. A strange love of vimscript, or 2. A lack of permissions to install Emacs.

It’s more “which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg”. It’s a useful phrase to describe a situation where two things necessarily depend on each other. Chickens must come from chicken eggs, and chicken eggs must come from chickens, and one had to precede the other.

(In the actual case of chickens, it can be resolved easily - by defining “chicken egg” as either an egg laid by a chicken or an egg which contains a chicken, you will obviously and quickly draw a conclusion.)
