wow!!! that’s super cool! I mean, I didn’t know about these features. You seem to be getting a good deal out of vivaldi


I use firefox because I feel like it’s one of the best browsers out there. Brave is close second. Brave although doesn’t have enough freedom while switching from one brave browser to another. I mean, firefox allows you to sync your data online (I trust mozilla, so this ain’t a problem), but Brave always has been bad in this regard.

Also, I like the fact that firefox is not chrome and idk, I just like the look and feel of firefox


I found vivaldi to have too many things packed into it’s face


undefined> Your configuration is written in code, it is therefore persistent. Do you know that annoying feeling of “oh shit, how did I configure x program that I want to install on this other machine”? Never again.

This is sick! thank you!


really sorry, I don’t understand the point of this app. I mean, KDE connect works well, so why change?

Are you talking about a situation where it’s not possible to install those Qt or KDE dependencies (then it might be useful to me)

Thank you for your output either way!


@eshep@social.trom.tf @normalmode@mastodon.social Thanks guys, I will be trying to learn Bash soon, I am gonna install tmux. As for vim, obv, I have it installed :')


I didn’t know about tmux. I haven’t heard much about it. What’s it’s purpose and what use would it have for a general user?


What’s that one feature you liked so much while distrohopping that you want it by default in all distros?
I have always been discovering new things about Linux distros while distro hopping. And when I get something I really like, I just copy the package name and make sure I install it in every distro I use in the future. Let me start: 1. Clipboard manager (Gpaste) 2. KDE connect

here, take my downvote



Uglies of the world, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!


we might have to create an asklemmy(notcommunist) forum. Also, I too am interested in Science and FOSS stuff but I don’t think lemmy is a very good community for science enthusiasts.


I think the ones which allow hate speech become platforms exclusively for hate speech as they people who have been banned from almost every platform go there and ruin it.


“Don’t, Don’t give me hope”


Its quite hilarious when I see youtube ads promoting brave, why is YouTube funding its own demise lol


What do you mean when it was sane?



Same. I thought to myself there are better things than politics to focus on. But yes, groupthink is a problem with such platforms.


yessss… my point exactly. I want those ideas which are taken to be granted to be questioned. You got that right mate!



Trump, through his public speeches, actively encouraged ideas and theories that lead to that. Jan 6

I agree and I felt sad that he did that. He was indifferent or positively ecstatic about the consequences of his speech. He put himself above the nation.

engage in STRONG patriotism and nationalism (keeping “the Mexicans” out) and more so some things like “good people on both sides”

Again, I do think merit based immigration is a good thing, so as long as they want that I am not against them. (thank for the answer, I understand your point broadly. )


I am not a centrist, I want to be in a platform with them.


You might be right, I do understand your point. Healthy disagreement is not alive anymore. But I think having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems.


and as an anti-communist, I might have different views


love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.

Hehe… good one. I understand that. But don’t you think it would be a better place of some people from the right joined in here


I am actually a supporter of Trump’s policies, although he is not fit to lead US after Jan 6. not a fucking racist like those folks at voat. I wonder what brings that out. That site makes me puke. Thanks for the reply tho. My respect for Lemmy greatly increased after visiting voat.


I know, is there a lemmy look alike for idk centrists and for everyone else? I just created a voat account and was surprised by what I saw on r/askvoat. https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=626ee17071e64

I would choose lemmy anyday over that shit


Lemmy is not ideologically diverse. Thoughts?
edit: having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems. Although I am a capitalist now, being confronted by socialists has made me aware of capitalisms deep flaws. When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind. So that's the ideologically diversity I am talking about. I love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can't seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.

“Hate speech”? Well, if it’s not a direct incitement of violence against a community, that’s still ok. It is unthinkable to censor someone to appease some supposed minority.

And, he might have personally cancelled a journalist’s Tesla order, and that’s unfortunate. But Elon Musk is still an improvement over the draconian censors which were running Twitter previously. You could not have talked about politics that Twitter didn’t like(Hunter Biden story), you could not have talked about Religious books of minorities because exposing bad ideas for what they were was considered hate speech. I am certain that no matter how bad Elon is, he can’t be more censorious than the clowns who ran Twitter previously.

This for me is certainly a win for free speech.


Because the hallmark of fascists is their strong belief in free speech


I Love how I was looking For Mastodon Fee months ago as I was censored on Twitter For speaking Something Twitter didnt like. Now that Elon haos brought Twitter the left is looking For some Others Site to censor and Ruin.




Sorry for my inarticulate gibbergabber. I wanted photos to appear bigger by default. Unfortunately I don't know how and even if it is possible. I don't want to be single tapping every damn image for it to be of redable size. How can I change this?~___~

  1. Literally any economy can become 2 largest if it has enough people, per capita wealth would be more of an indicator of well-being.
  2. Saved the world from Nazi Germany? Did you forget that Stalin first had joined hands with the Nazis and was happy to stay out of the war, until Germany attacked. Also, Stalin somewhat admired Hitler, although he didn’t like his views on the USSR. Ended the famines, yes but through gulags, I don’t think that’s a positive and no he didn’t end famines, they did happen extensively in the USSR, but yes the food production increased thanks to the slave labour provided by the camps. Ended racial and sexual inequality, well didn’t end it but they did help, so that’s a positive.

The socialist system, certainly didn’t end poverty. that’s a nonsensical statement. Doubled life expectancy? I doubt that.

If I didn’t comment about it, then it means that I like that. djkafdadjkfa


@Hyolobrika@lemmy.ml why is your comment downvoted so much? I do think you make a point, but these downvotes perplex me.


thank you, your answer provided a new pov to me. that’s valuable


Many capitalist countries have fallen, does that alone mean capitalism was a failure and shouldn’t be a thing?

not trying to mock you or anything, but which ones are these? I am genuinely curious.


And it might be a good time to mention things like United States involvement in regime change (Wikpedia). It’s not an isolated issue, it’s a strategy. 100% dictatorship? I would rather starve than live in the late USSR.


…“look, it didn’t work for them!” Or did it fail because the USSR lost its way, or, just maybe if failed due to a combination of both.

either way I am pretty grateful that it did fail and the world got to know that dictatorship doens’t really work.


I left out cuba? will edit the question. I don’t think they are great either. It’s a dictatorship. I don’t need to provide any more counter to that. Also, let’s not forget, people in cuba literally were protesting due to lack of food recently. Say what you want about capitalism, people don’t often starve under it.


I am sorry, I haven’t been able to open lemmy for a long time. terrible things going on in real life. And thank you for all those resources, I haven’t read them yet but I will. And no I didn’t downvote you.


Why is Marxism still a thing?
I was wondering why Marxism was still a thing and this placed seemed to be filled with Marxists. So, why? Didn't the fall of USSR teach us anything? Do today's Marxists think that USSR did something wrong? In other words, will they do anything different than the dictators of the soviet union? Also, some here seem to admire Stalin. I would really have to try hard to find a community that would admire Hitler but apparently admiring Stalin, another mass murder seems to be perfectly fine!

Hello, No I would not be comfortable with “Posting someone’s legal name, home address, government ID number Calling for a person to be hacked, harassed online or in person, or for someone to steal their bike/car/pet, or kill their pet Child porn, revenge porn (non-consensually posting private nude pictures), edited / deepfake porn Copyrighted movies, music and TV Classified government documents”

And I am not ok with it because yes, I think they are morally reprehensible (although leaking classified govt documents of a genocide might be the opposite) and no I wasn’t talking about it at all when I talked about free speech ( The issue as you have pointed out cleverly is much more complicated than what I thought it was) What I was talking about was political speech.

And yes, I think I would be ok with holocaust denial although I think if it done for wrong reasons(knowing it happened and denying it) it would be morally reprehensible as well but in my view it doesn’t warrant censoring that speech. I love you that you put hate speech in inverted commas(It depends upon who is defining it and then too varies a lot with other definitions). And yes, Blasphemy, I am pretty sure there isn’t a day in my life where I haven’t been guilty of that (and I proudly accept that lol). And it’s not only Saudi Arabia which bans blasphemy, it’s a ton of countries and it’s a constantly expanding list with even “free countries” joining in on the “fun” now. revenge porn should be illegal. Child porn warrants stringent punishments.

Again I poorly described my question as you pointed it out and I appreciate you exposing me to the faults in my thinking. **But again, I can tolerate “hate speech”, Holocaust denial and blasphemy. And when I was thinking of free speech I was thinking of that. I think they should not be censored as long as they do not involve direct physical threats against an individual or a group. ** I would expect a decentralized forum to be able to circumvent laws such as these which needlessly restrict political speech.


What can I do to help Lemmy?
On what ideals were Lemmy created? I am asking it because I am considering supporting Lemmy any way I can but I won't if the ideals of it's creators are anything but upholding free speech. I want to know more about this website, can someone refer me to a book or a video which might encapsulate it? What I mean by free speech: There is no justification to censor any views unless those views are directly demanding for physical violence against a person or community. Direct physical violence of course doesn’t include offensive speech against any religion (be it Islam, Hinduism or Christianity) or against any ideology or any "protected groups".

Will Lemmy ever replace Reddit?
I was wondering what the point of lemmy was, if we can't get a certain number of people, we won't be able to thrive as a community and I don't see lots of people joining even though it is an open-source and decentralised forum unlike reddit. There are many obvious things lemmy could do better, should I make a report about it? I think we are lagging behind and not doing things which are obvious. A better GUI for mobile website would be one of the top suggestions I have. thoughs?
