Much heavier than what you are asking but worthwhile nevertheless:
A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny
The title says it all, it passes through most of the important philosophers of the western tradition. It is perfect to understand what (academic) philosophy is all about. Took me four months to finish but it was definitely worth it.
Yeah but it saves everything in your folder so even if it is closed your data remains
Currently the only thing for me that definitely needs improvement is the configuration of GDM
Preach bro
Firefox has been as fast as chrome on most websites for some years now. Chrome was quick a decade ago, not anymore…
Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.
The EU is rapidly becoming a neoliberal hellehole resembling the US. I no longer have any hope for existing institutions resisting corporate encroachment. Best that can be done is the support of initiatives like the fediverse and foss in general but if the current trend continues even that is in a precarious position.
Oxygen not included
The thing with anything these corpos are doing is that it suddenly becomes a cultural trend for the next week or so, and every techbro and marketbro talks about it all the time. I have been trying to distance myself from this bullshit for a while now but it I find it impossible to do so. Even here we constantly talk about these idiots. No matter how much we make jokes out of them, simply coming in contact with the shit these billionaires have in their heads is indeed depressing. These people are the ruling class of the entire humanity and the best they can do for culture is idiotic social media platforms and ads.
Stupidity and greed, a great combination!
Also nukes
The main advantage ios has over Android is its lack of support for virtualization (like java). This makes their apps much less resource hungry, faster, and the phone does not slow down as much over time. Given the fact that idiotic apps like Instagram and Facebook need supercomputers to run on Android the difference for the end user is a huge gulf performancewise. It must be a nightmare for developers though.
For people who know what they are doing it is very easy to maintain the software health on android and keep it running fast over time. If you don’t though usage of apps like the ones mentioned above will make it run like a commodore in months.
I tried lemmur on fdroid but I think it’s dead. Hasn’t received updates in months and will not load anything.
Oh I thought OP talked about avoiding reddit in general. I have already visited it at least 3 times today looking for a solution to my laptop’s inability to connect to the internet :P I haven’t thought of avoiding it to send a message, I guess I will simply turn of the computer. I have already deleted Boost for reddit so I will simply not visit it on my phone…
Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on… As a social media platform it’s as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.

Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. As a non technical user it works great. I made tge switch from windows at the beginning of 2023 and not looking back. When I distrohop it will probably be Debian but that will require time I currently don’t have.
I applied to 3 instances when I decided to join and lemmy.ml was the only one that responded so there’s that.
Ideology runs this way unfortunately
Probably but it does need an investment in time that I don’t have right now.
Just a headless raspberry pi 4 with an external hdd that hosts a nextcloud instance, a website and jellyfin. Cloudflare tunnel because a static ip is too expensive and cloudflare for the domain, apache for the server. I have no background on anything computer related and am thus very proud of my achievement 😛. Also, no backup solution yet since I had no time to set it up but am working on it right now.
