Not disputing the numbers you’re showing but another post in c/news (below) was saying 8% today, and Beau of the Fifth Column’s youtube channel was saying 8% last night so I’m confused about the discrepancy. At work right now so can’t really research what’s up

8% figure in this link https://lemmy.world/post/16899680

Wait, is it 8% or 13%?

There’s at least some parts of the lemmy community where those views are acceptable even if generally they’re frowned upon in the wider community. Maybe !debate@hilariouschaos.com ? The hilariouschaos instance seems relatively err… libertarian in their approach to free speech but still is widely federated to other instances. Not speaking from experience as I’m not subscribed to any of their communities but that was the impression I got.

Regardless of our current differences of opinion on transgender folks and (most kinds of) immigration, and the differences between you and the lemmy community at large I’d like to think it’s a big enough place that you’ll be able to find room here for respectful discussion, or start a community of your own on an instance where it can happen.

You could always start this if you can’t find it, could be interesting? c/middleground?

Edit: the center is going to mean different things to different people too.

I enjoyed it but admit it was imperfect. They should keep remaking it though, I’d happily watch yet another remake it in a decade or so.

Texas Instruments ROM Basic, then later PC-DOS (not MSDOS)

Good to know, thanks. I would have googled it eventually.

I remembered reading about it happening soon (?) for certain kinds of security updates (?) somewhere but it’s almost 2am here and I’m having difficulty googling a reliable and thorough source but it sounds like users will have to subscribe to Ubuntu Pro to get certain kinds of update, although it might be free under certain circumstances.

I don’t know, Ubuntu has treated me well the last decade but I’m willing to explore other distros if it seems like it’ll be unnecessarily commericalized. Will read up more in the morning.

Since Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, are you being asked to pay for security updates? Using Ubuntu right now and looking to switch soonish

I miss hip hop

So, hey, can someone explain to me about Linux Mint, like since it is derivative of Ubuntu does that mean that the new system of having to pay for Ubuntu updates is inherited by Mint?

Worst case? Covert Israeli influence to propel the far-right into power in Spain. A return to Franco-era fascism. Not terribly likely but it’s hard to imagine worse.

I used to use an electric toothbrush many years ago but heard it could cause receding gums so its storage. I like manual toothbrushes because you can buy the inexpensive ones and replace them frequently, electric heads are a little pricey to replace. Generally my tongue seems pretty clean but I’m going to get a cheapo tongue scraper and see if I notice any difference. Do you use one of the fancy copper ones or just the standard steel/plastic ones I’ve seen?

Is a tongue scraper really that much better than brushing your tongue?

I remember reading there was something like this back in the mid/late 00s too, maybe without the giftcards but you could sign up for email alerts when there was a forum thread that needed to be brigaded, long before even reddit was a thing.

Edit: read about it on Metafilter at the time but it seems to have been purged. If you’re interested maybe the post is findable on the Internet Archive

I mean you’ve got the Magellanic clouds, that makes up for a lot

He’s gonna sign that antisemitism bill isn’t he?

I agree with your point, but balaclava is the hat, baclava is the delicious Greek pastry.

Cordage/string. Way more useful than fire and arguably predates it.

At least Leeches are useful in medicine, even today! I’m convinced Ticks have no ecological benefit or traits worthy of study apart from those necessary to ensure their eradication. Perspectives to the contrary from tick lovers and biologists welcome, however!
