I’m starting to realize this also. At first, Lemmy seemed great with conversations, but it’s starting to shift waaay too far left and I’m a liberal myself.

Honestly considering going back to Reddit… just sucks because the only mobile option is their shitty app.

That’s why I clarified in my reply..

You should re read my reply and try again..

That's great! I'm glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I've had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.

I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can't figure out how to use the OS like it's something very complex.

I was taught American exceptionalism and said the national anthem every school day of my childhood, K-12.

I was too and did the same, but I was taught to break away from the mold and usual thinking as a young adult pretty early on (thank you parents and to some of my teachers). I'm sorry to hear that those people in your life lied to you and never thought to help you break out of that mold.

The states is so vast that what you're saying doesn't always apply to another person. It's funny because you mention being born in Seattle and growing up in LA. Well I was born in Georgia and most people would have you believe living in the south is shit (which to be fair, some places are), but I can say my life experience has been completely different than yours.

As I mentioned before the states has its problems for sure but it's not all bad and your experience can vastly differ from another.

  • The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.

  • The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

  • The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

  • The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

  • People always asking if something is FOSS...

These are just a few off the top of my head.

This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it's much more user friendly than Linux.

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They absolutely should but I'm going to guess no.

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Got it! I pressed it before but it wasn’t loading. Guess I just needed to give it a little time. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!

Hmm strange. Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong but I’ve attached a picture of what it looks like for me when I go to the bookmarks tab.

Sorry if this is posted already, but will we be able to view bookmarks soon and also be able to save posts?

This is quickly becoming my favorite Lemmy app on iOS and it’s really smooth on the iOS 17 beta!

Swipe sensitivity? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by KuroJ@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

Hi all,

I just switched over to Android and I'm enjoying the connect app so far!

I did have a question about the swipe sensitivity though. When I swipe to upvote a comment I constantly keep swiping too far and end up saving the comment instead.

I checked through the settings, but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem there's a way to slow down the swipe feature.

Edit: In case it helps, I'm using a OnePlus 9.

This is a picture I took when I was on vacation in Japan of Hōkan-ji Temple in Kyoto.

I miss it already and I'm ready to go back!

Hello all,

I'm in the market for buying a new laptop to install Linux on. I'm trying to stay with something relatively cheap (Around $300 and below). I'm getting ready to start a degree program in cyber security and did some research, and it seems Kali Linux would be the best distro for me to install.

I would install it on my current computer, but I only have a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I've read that a few people run into some issues installing on a Mac compared to a regular PC.

With the above in mind, do I need to increase my budget or does Linux run fine on low-end laptops?

Thanks!

No shade to the other app developers! Just have grown accustomed to seeing these Memmy updates constantly!
