Cris

Fair honestly, I’m more or less in the same boat 😅

I’m glad you at least have a working system. And thank you, I appreciate it very much. I’ll find my way back where I need to be, I just have to figure out how first

I was really enjoying learning how to try and set up void, but I really like having access to a graphical app store thats easy to browse 😢 someday I’ll have to revisit it

Hey, sorry for just never getting back to you, I’m not going to be able to take a look at it, I’ve found myself in somewhat of a mental health crisis, but I hope youre able to work it out, I’m wishing you luck

I really wish I could help, but I think you’re probably more advanced of a user than am unfortunately :(

In my experience installing I’ve just followed the callamares prompts and then had a usable system, but I haven’t used it long term yet, as I’ve been trying to learn how to install void linux before I potentially swtich to a more straight forward distro on my new laptop (seemed like a good opportunity to learn). I’ve been using linux for a long time now (probably more than 10 years) but I’m really an art and design person who’s mostly bumbled their way through it 😅

I just woke up, I’ll come back and take a look at things when I’m more awake and see if anything stands out to me

I’m not familiar with FCC unlock, from my initial half asleep googling it looks like a networking feature or service? If it’s functionality thats intended to be configured by spiral linux, you might try opening a bug report on the spiral linux github/got repo, the Dev seems like a pretty friendly guy. Or alternatively the linux 4 noobs community here on lemmy is actually pretty good, (regardless of whether the name might be directly applicable to you) if not incredibly active, and the people there are far more likely to be knowledgable than I am. Though frankly I’m guessing the reason it’s actually a helpful resource is because lemmy has a viable ratio of new linux users, to technical ones who are willing to help, an attribute I don’t think many spaces have lol

Like I said, I’ll take another look in a while and see if my awake brain has anything to add that might be more helpful to you. I’m sorry distros have been giving you such a struggle with networking, thats super frustrating

You’re very welcome ☺️

Hope you have a great day!

You might take a look at spiral linux, its basically a customized debian install that preconfigures a bunch of quality of life stuff for you and is set up to use btrfs with snapper by default. It doesn’t use custom repos intentionally so that (in the words of the developed) if the developer gets hit by a bus, nothing stops working. Your install just works like a pre-customized debian

Not the person you’re replying to but wanted to share my 2 cents

You might consider keeping things broad given how small a platform lemmy is and how niche the subject matter is. I like the idea of them being separate but splitting community more than strictly necessary runs the risk of the community dieing without enough people having things to post. You can always acknowledge future plans to split, and make it two separate communities in the future

Ultimately you know best what kinda space you wanna make and how you wanna go about it, I just think your community idea is neat and wanna see it reach a stable number of active users :)

Hope you have a great day!

Gooootcha, I follow what the point you’re making now!

also, I appreciate you filling me in cause I wouldn’t have read the article and he context you provided is much more useful than the headline

Hope you have a good one :)

I mean, that kinda seems like why I’d want there to be housing specifically for trans women. Building housing specifically for trans folks seems like the wrong way to solve housing discrimination or housing unaffordability. I think those problems would probably be more effectively soved through other means

But building essentially shelter housing for trans folks without a safe place to go seems like a great way to create a space for them that is safe and trans inclusive should they find themselves in crisis, and unwelcome or uncomfortable using other faculties that are disproportionately serving cis women who may or may not be welcoming or understanding.

Now they just also have to implement policies that address housing unaffordability, and housing discrimination. If its like the situation in the US, kinda feels like thats never gonna happen 🙃

Yeah… Maybe it should be that way for resorts or hotels too??

Lol, what a weird take

I love him.

I think thats fair, but I don’t get the impression most folks who eat meat consider it wrong at all, never mind in such a black and white way. I have a lot of respect for vegan ethics and even I have mixed feelings on whether I consider it explicitly wrong or immoral

I don’t think something like duckduckgo is gonna be the eventual contender to take on google. I think it’ll have to be an engine with its own index or some kind of lateral solution.

Something like brave, kagi, qwant, or stract could maybe turn into something exciting with more momentum, but honestly I have a hard time seeing them be the kind of scrappy competitor with a new approach that unseats the old king who has lost their way in pursuit of more profit at the expense of product quality. None of them seem like they truly have a new approach, but only time will tell how that story plays out this time.

I think it takes a while for that kind of competitor to emerge and gain enough traction to become a genuine alternative option. The primary option everyone long since adopted kinda has to suck for a while :/

I think you’re pretty out of touch with how most folks experience eating meat. I don’t say this as a personal attack, but I think the emotional experience you’re ascribing to folks who do eat meat is inaccurate

As much as I’d like that to be true, I’ve definitely still seen vegan spaces online that are intensely alienating and hostile 😅 when I was using reddit, often anything from r/vegan that hit r/all was pretty hostile to anyone who hadn’t already decided it was an important issue for them and made big lifestyle changes accordingly, adopting veganism.

To be totally honest I’ve also never seen any beef industry propaganda encouraging people to hate vegans or resent veganism. If you can think of any examples off the top of your head I’d be curious to see them (if nothing comes to mind thats fine, I don’t intend that as a gotcha)

I’m not vegan (grew up with an eating disorder, not in any position to cut stuff out of my diet or make eating more complicated/difficult, though I have a lot of respect for vegan ethics) but I am a big nerd about open source stuff and linux, and I’ve observed similar things in that space. I have a friend who’s averse to open source stuff because folks have evangelized to her aggressively and with the same sort of superiority complex many folks perceive vegans as having. I’m grateful she’s excited to listen to me talk about the stuff I’m excited about anyway these days, but I’m careful not to make her feel pressured to drop proprietary software she’s using for open alternatives because I want her to feel respected even though she’s not invested in this thing I care about a whole lot

I think when you work hard to adopt a big change for reasons you’re proud of, it’s easy to view yourself as superior for having learned the thing, or made the dietary change

Right, being crass on Twitter is why people don’t like him. Has nothing to do with being a fascist who wants to dismantle the democracy of the US and become a dictator

Lmao, how very Elon Musk of him 😅

Sneel for the clag
