I'm in a very similar boat. I've been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70...

I have not verified the validity of those claims. I'll edit the post to reflect that.

The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don't like that.

However, some of you whipper snappers don't know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.

Edit: added "allegedly"

[solved] How to backup a bunch of blu-rays? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] janNatan@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've had no problems compressing Blu Ray MKVs into MP4s with handbrake (using MX Linux). My drive is a branded, internal one (I want to say LG or Asus.) I am at work right now, by I can look at the model number when I get home if you want. Interestingly, I have actually used it on both German Blu Rays and North American ones.

What phrase do you say a lot, like a personal catchphrase? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

"First of all..."

I said it so many times while drunk once that my brother made a song mocking me. That was a wild night.

They're free, you know? I have 6. Well, one of those is actually paid.

Are there still any versions of Linux sold in a box like in the 90s / 2000s? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.
