The whole social aspect of Venmo is one of the stupidest things to have ever been created. I use Venmo because it’s the most widely used platform, but all of my transactions are private.

Do people even scroll through the public feed of their friends? Why does anyone care that their friend paid another friend (who they likely don’t even know) $10 for a burger and fries? So fucking dumb.

I realized shortly after posting my reply that your post was created 30 days ago. Not 30 minutes lol. Glad you got it fixed!

I had something similar happen to me with Debian 12. I believe pressing ALT + F7 after it reached that “power off” message forced the computer to power off. Something caused it to get stuck, but I’m not 100% sure. It may have been some bug with my Samba file share setup, but I have no way of confirming that.

Not sure if this will work for you, but it’s worth a try. Good luck and hope you solve the issue!

It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

Nobody said anything about Resolve being bad. The topic of this conversation and community is Open Source, so a closed source suggestion was not relevant.

Yep, advertiser don’t care how they got those clicks. They just want the numbers to go up so they feel like their “investment” is doing something. Tricking people into thinking it’s user content, showing half naked girls for a dumb mobile gambling game, showing fake products… they don’t care. Advertisers only have one thought: “Hurr Durr Numbers Go Brr”

Every day the same thing ad nausea. Fascism bad. Sexism bad. Phobia bad. Musk bad. Orange man bad. Inflation bad. Boomers bad. Cats good. Name my rescue dog. Celebrity good. Celebrity dead.

That’s not just Reddit. That’s the entire Internet right now. Reddit or Lemmy, X or Mastodon, Facebook or anything else on the Fediverse. It’s all the same. We are living in a time of mass fear because of several different reasons. War, climate, economy, personal rights… pick whatever topic you want. There’s a reason to be angry about it.

We need to go back to the days of happy people sharing their passions, rather than angry people attacking each other. But that won’t happen anytime soon.

Flatpaks can also be used to run CLI programs, but it requires using flatpak run instead of using the apps standard CLI command. But you can create an alias and should work mostly the same way.

For example, I have neovim on my Debian laptop via flatpak. So in order to run it, you have to do

flatpak run io.neovim.nvim

You can create an alias for that command

alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'

And then you can use the nvim command as normal

Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn’t really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.

The saying is “vote with your wallet”. It just means that if you are unhappy with what a company is doing, stop buying their products.

That’s very informative! Thank you!

but I personally will not touch a mouse because, frankly, the “useful data per mouse” ratio is way too low for me to justify using mice.

Are there any alternatives you work with, or do you abstain completely from those kinds of experiments?

This is something that I consistently see that people still haven’t gotten used to with Lemmy and other federated sites. People often complain about what they see on their feed or sometimes attack an OP for reposting. I assume people just aren’t thinking about it since we’re all still used to Reddit and using a centralized platform where everyone can see the same stuff. But with Lemmy, it seems that people forget that their feed will be completely different, based on which instance they are in.
