It's like using a chromebook, and the less there is to click on, the better.

Hmm, you may be onto something here.

I think I'll test drive it and consider the same for my wife. She has a Mac, and she says she prefers Windows (clearly she hasn't used it in nearly a decade), and this might be an option for her if I can just put all the stuff she uses on the bottom docker.

Thanks for the tip, and best of luck in your Linux journey! ๐Ÿง

I agree with you, lol. The other day I tried windows 11 at a store, and it was a pain. The learning curve was bigger from windows 10 -> 11 than from windows 10 -> KDE.

I'm curious about your choice of Gnome for your wife, though. If she's hopeless with computers, why give her a less (imho) intuitive DE to play with?

The problem is that he is a fascist and fascists always need an external enemy to blame.

Love to read this, I'm exactly on the same journey! Was using Mint until a few days ago, and now I'm on Aurora. There is a bit of a learning curve due to the atomic factor (some apps aren't in Discover), but overall I'm happy with the stability.

Linux is truly wonderful and I look forward to learning more and seeing it grow. Fuck Microsoft, I'm done with their crap.

NGL that smiley face from Finder looks so condescending lmao. My wife's laptop is a Mac and it's hilarious every time how it shows up so often. Like Clippy from Word lol.

Always the same gadlighters trick: acuse others of doing what you are doing.

This is not how I envisioned socialism and redistribution to work, but I'm okay with it.

Sorry to say, but both Zen and Floorp were obvious honeypots from the beginning.

Unsolicited advice, but don't adopt the latest browser/search engine/OS that promise privacy and/or security, and you'll avoid a lot of disappointment. Most fall apart at the seams within a year or less.

If the one browser/SE/OS you currently use works, stick with it until more research on the newer stuff comes out. Then you can reassess.

Does he think

No.

Those are also the colours of the US flag, the obnoxious font is very reminiscent of Texas hold'em salons, and let's be honest Tony is not a Dutch name at all.

Look, I totally get it man, I'm just as propagandized as anybody else to just associate certain patterns to US products.

I believe he's trying to say "here's other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs". Who knows.

 

Am I crazy, or there is no way to search for a topic/keyword inside of a community?

Whenever I'm in a community and I press search, it defaults to searching the whole of lemmy, and there doesn't seem to be a option to limit the search to a community only.

What am I doing wrong?

 

For the people who were using FREENOW (originally from Germany), I just received a notification on the app saying it is now being acquired by Lyft, an American company.

Just thought I'd share it here.

Disable DMs? (lemm.ee)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by Pirata@lemm.ee to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
 

Is there a way to disable DMs? I keep being spammed by users from an instance called sh.itjust.works promoting some weird out-of-platform personal profiles.

They usually send this stuff and then immediately seem to get banned, but I still see their stuff since images are displayed by default. Seems like a big oversight to allow this.

Is there a way to block receiving DMs? Or at least have some sort of Accept/Decline dm feature like on Reddit?

Pretty please. I got used to using it on the other platform that shall not be named, and now I can't live without it.

It's free, helps low vision readers and can be downloaded directly from the Braile Institute.
