Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I’m not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

Australia: Very unusual. I’ll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think “fucking weirdos”. It’s more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It’s more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

You can vote and make personal lifestyle/dietary sacrifices. It’s not mutually exclusive

The great thing about using free open-source software is the immunity from corporate shenanigans.

Reddit?

It’s a term that broadly refers to people with more experience in a technology and more ability to extract use from it.

Unfortunately, unlike youtube, Lemmy has a lot of refined competition already for people to jump to out of frustration

Ads and data mining

Usually there’ll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that’s 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you’ll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you’ll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

I’m having mixed success among these https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/wiki/📺-Movies---TV---Anime---Sports

Over on Mastodon I’m at mastodon.world purely because it’s the most generic sounding instance and I don’t particularly want to have my whole identity to be defined by where I live or the operating system that I use or whatever

Currently users of Lemmy are “power users”. The fact that power users can’t even work out how to use Lemmy ‘properly’ is sign of its future

I’m still on Reddit. I have no emotional connection to any social media platform, so I’m not personally offended by the actions of Reddit’s management. I use whatever platform provides the most entertainment, which in the future might be both Lemmy and Reddit

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I’ve just donloaded Ubuntu.

I’m getting basic display issues that I’ve never got in another distro (including tails!) and it’s generally annoying me. I’d rather use a distro that doesn’t require troubleshooting on Day 1
