I personally like the Buddhist version, the 5 precepts. There’s quite a bit of overlap, but one interesting difference is that as far as I know they’re not framed as commandments, but rather as guidelines to be voluntarily undertaken if you wish to reduce suffering in the world.
Unfortunately I don’t know for sure. I have not used Funkwhale myself. I did look around at some of the pods listed on that site. I suppose you would need to visit each pod to see if you can tell if what they’re about matches what you want to share.
You can probably post your music and follow musicians from any fediverse platform, but there is a specialized audio/music one:
Or kick Canonical to the curb and use Incus instead: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/how-similar-is-incus-to-lxd/21430
I think I’ve seen people using this on Lemmy, but I’m not sure if it works: https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-reminder-bot-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
I’m not on any other platform except Lemmy and Mastodon. Well, I’m on Facebook but only to find events nearby and have been considering deleting it for a while.
Mastodon and Lemmy are better off not being “mainstream”. There’s a huge amount of crap that comes with being that.
This still has no place in a court of law if it was supposed to influence anything about the case.
That appears to be exactly the position that one of the organizers is taking in the article.
I guess these 8th-graders learned how to deal with being chased, surrounded, pepper-sprayed, and beat up?

Raises hand. I must be doing it wrong. Signing back in (with MFA, no less) every time I restart the browser does get tiring after a while though.
I don’t know about Lenovo in general, but the two things I like about Thinkpads in particular and why I generally stick to them are their keyboards and the mouse nub / joystick thingy (trackpoint).
Their keyboards The keys on their keyboards are still curved to give you proper tactile feedback of where your fingers are relative to the keys (unlike the abominable flat square keyboards on many/most other manufacturers), and the trackpoint is a great way to use a mouse-like pointer without moving your hands from home position on the keyboard. It looks like some current models are doing away with the trackpoint, which I think is a terrible mistake.
I’m not sure if any manufacturers still have either of these features or both on their current laptops, but they’re absolutely must have features for me.
Also, I usually buy used/refurbished Thinkpads cheap from ebay.
This happened last year and it was a 2018 CPU (APU?): AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE. It’s a low power 4 core hyperthreaded CPU/APU. Now searching the web for info I see that it was unsupported by Windows 11 from the time of release (2021) - see thread linked below. That means the CPU was a little over 3 years old at that time.
Some comments indicate that it may have been AMD’s own recommendation, but still. I was able to return the machine and got one that was compatible, but it was still an eye-opening experience that showed me that Windows was no longer like the old unrestricted Windows that would run on any PC hardware that could run any recent version of Windows, even if dog slow. Windows is now like MacOS with artificial hardware restrictions, so what’s the point of Windows anymore? I can have Linux for games and MacOS for any software I may need that’s not able to run on Linux.

I bought a used PC with a 6-year old CPU model only to find out that Windows 11 wouldn’t support it. That’s when I realized that the only advantage that Windows had over Macs in my opinion (aside from games) was gone.
I’m not very knowledgeable about or experienced with Linux yet, but from everything that I’ve read, I have the impression that Arch is the one that’s oriented to power users, not OpenSUSE. I’ve seen OpenSUSE suggested as one of the more beginner-friendly distros, apparently one of the, if not the most stable rolling release distros, and supposedly has one of the best KDE integrations. That’s the one I’m leaning towards adopting as my first Linux distro to really use seriously to replace Windows on desktop (as opposed to just playing around with it). I am also considering the other flavors of OpenSUSE besides Tumbleweed: Slowroll and Leap, in that order.
I agree with your feeling that going with one of the source distros that other distros use as a base is a better bet, and have seen some reviewers say as much. As far as I know, the big 4 in that regard are Arch, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. Most everything else is apparently either a derivative of one of those or a niche independent distro.
I see, thanks, I didn’t know the details. I just had a faint recollection that they had switched from AppArmor to SELinux.
I see, I probably misunderstood what you were saying. Thanks. I’m seriously considering OpenSUSE myself, for both my workstations and home server.
I think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has SELinux enabled now too. I’m not sure what you mean by all over the system, as I’m not that familiar with SELinux yet. I believe that Tumbleweed used to use AppArmor but recently switched to SELinux? I also believe that Leap (the stable version of OpenSUSE) still uses AppArmor.
Flathub not coming preconfigured
Huh, that’s odd. I’ve been test driving different Linux distros lately for my move away from Windows, and Tumbleweed was one of the ones I tried. KDE Discover in Tumbleweed had Flatpak options for software, and I’m pretty sure it was tied to Flathub and not a different repo like Fedora does. Maybe I’m misremembering? Or did you mean that it doesn’t have the Flathub application itself?
I also just recently saw the light regarding audiobooks a few months ago. It helps me actually finish more books and faster than reading the text versions. I’m guessing it’s probably related to ADHD. I’ve only done non-fiction so far though. As much as I try to boycott Amazon, I’ve kept paying for an Audible subscription.
