I use the XFCE version, it's around 400 MB idle, fluxbox should be even less I think.

I don't have any idea of who they are, but I don't get it: we're not preemptively defederating from Meta because it would be closed minded to do so (as per your admin decision), while Meta bad behavior is well documented (they've been fined by EU several times already), and we want to preemptively defederate from these people without even knowing how they will actually behave? Why? Shouldn't they be "innocent until proven guilty"?

Sorry for those

It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.

Good job!

I work for a big enterprise, we have RHEL on all our Linux servers save for a few that are SuSe for SAP.

Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don't (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use "good old-fashioned" phone calls :D

Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)

Haha this is amazing :D

Oh didn't know that, thanks!

I agree those arguments have no legal ground, but I don't believe emulators are made with the primary purpose of circumventing protections, it's just naive to think people wouldn't use them for that purpose IMO.

Haha :D English is not my first language, if the wording is not correct or there's a better way of saying it, I welcome any correction :)

Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo's lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.

We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there's nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve's stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.

She's gorgeous!

I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance

I'd like to know this too, because banning a community just because they don't want to talk about something - and that apparently offended someone, while allowing other communities free rein over content that could offend someone, makes me confused about how the rules are actually applied.

The community that has been banned wasn't discriminating people either, they were discriminating specific discussions. Where do we draw the line?

The concept of having to compile something yourself is basically foreign to me

There's no need to, what software do you need that you can't find on Mint repositories?

having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous

Having an app repository is way more secure than downloading software from random websites, it's also way faster.

But it's fine if you don't like it, each person has its own preferences.

I too believe it could have been resolved with discussion, I'm confused by such a sudden reaction, I just hope there may be things we don't know about it, otherwise it doesn't make sense to me.

I mean, we intend to allow Meta shit here because it's not "open minded" to block them preemptively, then we're being close minded about this.

I agree with you and it's sad to see you're being downvoted for stating something that should be obvious.

I don't like religions in general because I find them incoherent on many aspects, but that's not a good reason to attack them, they're not breaking rules, just ignore them.

Not the summer sale but the Steam fest, I played House Flipper 2 demo, I really enjoyed it and it turned out it was the most played one.

House Flipper is a sort of simulator, the purpose of the game is to buy houses in horrible conditions, renovate them and resell them, there's something oddly satisfying in it, I love it :D

I never used Facebook not Twitter or Instagram, but I was very active on Reddit.

The key to a successful migration, in my opinion, is being involved enough in alternatives that you stop caring about your old mainstream accounts, that doesn't happen in a day but it's an ongoing process.

What I'm doing (in practice), I created my account here when the protest started, I took the time off reddit to search for alternatives to the subs I was in and actively participate in them, after a while I stopped caring about reddit, so much that I unsubbed from everything and I don't even follow its news anymore.

I didn't ditch reddit completely yet because there are a couple of niche subs that are not easily replaceable, so I still check those every now and then, but compared to how active I was before, I'm basically not contributing anything anymore.

It's just a matter of time IMO before those niche subs will grow on the fediverse, I don't know how long it'll take but when it happens I'll be done with reddit forever.
