I appreciate the article explaining the AUR repository. I'm still a linux noob and always thought AUR is the official repo for arch based distros.

This is interesting, had never heard of that business.

Hope we get some answers here. If not then maybe a post in this community would help to give it some more visibility!

I can vouch for gaming also! I did have to sit down and pick a book at some point though, I was struggling with grammar. Glad to hear you have had productive procrastination sessions :)

That's an awesome achievement! I get it with the lack of motivation once you are back in your home country, really hope you'll find the motivation / need again at some point to continue learning.

I know that feeling. When I was in Germany on exchange I felt like I made significant progress, but let it fade away by not using it and studying afterwards. And yes, Duolingo is fun but for German it also lacks stuff like proper grammar rules and it really doesn't help that it doesn't force you to learn definite articles...

I hope you pick it up again at some point - it will come back faster since you have made good progress already before :)

And he's incredibly happy about the excuse!

I say if you plan to stick around and have patience to cultivate your community: do it.

If you don't, then please don't create them. You could join and post in existing communities that are close to those topics instead.

You are of course free to do as you will, but the reason I say don't go for it if you don't have the patience is because dead and unmoderated communities cause more issues than they solve.

Additionally: if you are new it's possible some of the communities you are looking for already exist. Searching in https://lemmyverse.net/ might give you better results in case you are on a small instance.

Edit: I feel like I should elaborate: a community that is left unmoderated might end up with horrible content and the instance admin will be clueless until someone bumps into said content and reports it.

You could create your commmunities but lock them if you decide to ditch lemmy.

I get my leather shoes from https://gea-waldviertler.at/shop/schuhe

Made in Lower Austria and absolutely love them. Their style is not for everyone, but I absolutely love mine.

I don't follow this community, but noticed there are more active alternatives: !collapse@sopuli.xyz and !collapse@slrpnk.net

You don't understand how happy this makes me to know I am not the only one. Pretty sure my employer silently just accepted it (although they wouldn't have to).

Signed up and started using tutamail awhile ago. I used to have my actual name as my email user but decided against it now.

I also started "digital privacy detox" a year ago and have made significant progress:

1. I decided to figure out all the accounts I made before I started using password manager and added them to my password manager

2. I went through them, logged in / sent an email and terminated my accounts. This has taken me a year not because I had so many accounts everywhere, but because certain platforms are so fucking difficult with this (the only one I have not been able to get deleted although I've said this is a GDPR violation is Roblox. The account is almost 20 years old and has had no activity but they refuse. I currently am trying to figure out how to tip them off to an organization like NOYB)

3. change info on accounts that I do plan to keep by removing personal info and switching to my new email. This is also not as easy always as I had hoped: e.g. Twitch (which I use super rarely but I do use it sometimes) for some reason doesn't allow a tutamail email...

Extra: I bumped into a shady "professionals for recruiters" website that had scraped all of my data from linkedin. This info is public and I never put much personal info on my linkedin, but I got creeped out by seeing my picture on this website I never put it on. I removed my real profile pic from every platform where it was after that.

The devs do post and comment here on CoMaps community, but you are more likely to get a discussion going about this in their codeberg repository's issue section or alternatively on matrix for real time chat with all the contributors.
