People see what they want to see? I've seen content I don't agree with on several instances but the main reason I've got my main on lemmy.ml over Beehaw is because it annoys me greatly that there's so often posts I don't see that are relevant to me or just communities that seem accessible but inactive but are actually blocked without the interface saying so. This spuriously makes it seems as if a community is dead.
To avoid ambiguity: Trump is a sentient lump of metastatic cancer and many right leaning people are limp-dick insecure ignorant assholes.
Even as an EndeavourOS user, I concur: Mint. Why? Cinnamon is hands down the best desktop environment. Beginner friendly default without blasting features in one's face with configs all over the place, yet intuitively customizable for experienced Linux users.
This means she will be able to freely use it without your help, but you will be able to easily fine tune it to her preferences as well.
Thank you. Yeah, no adjustments whatsoever. Except for an occasional crop I stopped doing that half a decade ago because I dislike embellishing what my eyes saw.
Trump doesn't need the Nobel Peace Prize, he needs chemotherapy, full body radiation, a vasectomy, a lobotomy, open heart surgery, and electroconvulsive therapy, all at once, unsterilized, using nothing but a contraption made of hammers and rusty spoons performed by ChatGPT. South Park wasn't joking, Trump really is a demon having an incestuous relationship with the devil. He is a walking malignant cancer with some trace human cells, assuming he still defecates.

I honestly tend to think that instead of using search engines where you already have to know what you’re looking for, it might be better to use something like lemmy where you can advertise what you made with a post in an appropriate community.
Obviously both have their place, but POSSE is the magic sauce:“POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.” ―https://indieweb.org/POSSE
Nothing you do to try to make the web a better place matters if nobody can find what you did. There are a lot of precious websites out there that deserve an audience, but instead are languishing in obscurity.
This makes alternative discovery mechanisms an urgent priority of the free and independent web, both document search as well as blog and RSS-feed discovery.”
I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
Some people pay for Discord and they still exploit their data.
Some people pay for Lichess and their whole website is free of charge without tracking/advertising.
Yes, things cost money. Yes, ideally those who can pay for it should. No, something being free doesn't legitimize unethical means to make a profit.
