    He's also incredibly smart in other ways. It's just the bad parts that get more press. And he's bound be wrong a bit considering the amount of things he wrote about.

    Still there's the aspect of installing something esoteric or troubleshooting weird behaviour, and it's usually easy to find help for fedora or ubuntu. Arch has a great community too.

    How does that work for NixOS?

    I found this mastodon alternative today that's compatible with the fediverse but better - Calckey

    It allows stuff like changing the UI the way you want, custom CSS, custom timelines etc

    I wanted to try but then people online were saying it's difficult to install and the docs weren't clear enough. I didn't want to deal with all that work. The declarative aspect is alluring. For now I'm really happy with Fedora to switch.

    I have only seen the instance on mlmym.org, not a lemmy instance, maybe an instance of the UI. Never seen this mentioned anywhere else.

    Probably because a lot of people who are attracted to lemmy might have loved the freedom and anonymity that old reddit offered them back then and this interface reminds them of that. I for one have fond memories of how reddit was a decade ago and it's been a while since I've seen a social network like that. Everything these days are so facebook like.

    Hey, it's not your fault.

    If you are a guy, and you don't look like Brad Pitt, online dating is depressing. If you happen to look like Brad Pitt, it can still be pretty hard.

    That's just how it is structured. People approach online dating looking for short term distractions. Try setting up a profile saying something like 'I am looking for someone who is willing to put in the hardwork through all the arguments and the compromises and adjustments we will need to make a marriage work' and see how much success you have.

    You could be doing everything right and you still will end up getting matched with a lot of people who might not be as serious as you might be about it. That's just how online dating works.

    I switched to Fedora earlier this year. I can see why people are saying Fedora is the new Ubuntu. Shit just works.

    FOSS software I really like? I just love the GNOME desktop and Okular reader.

    We need an askkerala too once there are more users.

    It'd be good if there are serious communities that aren't just about the memes. Because we've instagram and Facebook for memes. I hope this doesn't become that.
