Exactly! They even took care to provide you with convenience scripts for further setup with very detailed description right after you open the terminal.

Enabling TPM based disk decryption, secureboot, upgrading everything etc etc is waiting for you just one command away starting with ujust

This is the way!

I professionally maintain Linux kernel and custom drivers for embedded applications. I fell in love with Aurora on my first run and chosen Bazzite for my brand new Nvidia gaming PC. This will also be my office/web browsing/dev machine when not gaming.

Why? I am tired of managing / sysadmining Linux OS and don’t want to bring the job to my free time (although it looks like my MoBo could use a kernel patch for supporting fan speeds controller hee hee). Bazzite and siblings are the first distros I stumbled upon that flawlessly supported GSync and nvidia graphics out of the box without changing a single option. The defaults are sane, customization is easy. The whole general idea around how these distros are redesigned solve many many pain points that many uses are yet to experience with standard / "legacy" ones. I am more hyped about them than I was when I first discovered NixOS.

Atomic distros like this IMHO should be the default choice now for new Linux gamers. Period.

Where to search for these IPTV services so I know what to avoid to not accidentally break the law?

Unpopular opinion: people new to Linux should chose or be introduced to atomic distros for their resistance against user fuckups. Whatever the fuck you do, there is ALWAYS a backup snapshot waiting to be booted.

Flathub behaves like ms store, linuxbrew like chocolatey, teach users that they no longer install apps by downloading them from web and we are golden? Oh, and system and app updates are invisible to the user, MacOS-like convenience!

Just do the same as PH and similar do? They would have a hard time shutting down whole other industry like that.

And then there is Moondrop Space Travel with an anime girl whispering to your ears.

Your wisdom teeth send their regards.

~~In lemmyverse? This thread seems to be one? :) everyone looks to be respectful so far.~~

Other than that the communities I subscribe to…

it really caught me off guard when I saw comments directly attacking Mystic without even addressing the question, I was not prepared for this shit! Like if there was some history that I missed and I just relit an old flamewar or something

EDIT: yeah I just scrolled down… nevermind my first part of this message

I start to regret that I opened my mouth

Thanks for coming here and providing your PoV.

After reading the comments on YPTB I can only say this: the f is wrong with some people… I must be living in some bubble where people can have sane reasonable discussion even if they disagree.

I understand you are trying to build communities and defend them against users with ill-intent. I don’t know what your ambitions are as far as the target size of these communities goes, but I just thought that banning users like described simply sends a bad message and, unfortunately, brings unnecessary attention to your person (especially if user does not agree or understands a reason for a ban). Forgive me for inadvertently being a part of the problem.

On the other hand, if you are right that some users made it a hobby out of downvoting all posts from your community and we both want to provide a space for it on Lemmy (on any instance), then this potentially calls for some software feature? Like joinable, discoverable but semi-private communities that don’t appear on "all" with limited voting and posting rights for non-members? I don’t know - you tell me what would be your dream scenario! But definitively I don’t believe you can have it both ways, be totally open and not exposed, especially for controversial themes.

Lastly, allow me to address you as a person. Please don’t understand me wrong as my wording might upset you but I really mean good for you. If you are going through some hardships in your life - don’t ever let the trolls see you are vulnerable. In general, the social media, be it federated or corporate, is not a good place to seek support or publicly confess intimate details of your life. If you really have to because you find that helpful, at least make a second account not used for moderation. Don’t feed the trolls.

Love.

P.S. - you can probably unban me if you are not mad at me, I promise to behave ;)

 

I was encouraged to create an governance thread for discussion dedicated to community focused around the db0 lemmy instance users. Please see the linked post for context. I decided to leave my original post for potential discussion including voices of outsiders.

In short, not to duplicate information - I'd like to ask our community the following questions:

  1. Is the mod's behaviour of proactively banning users from moderated communities without clear violation in accordance to the instance rules, especially The Golden Rules, which call for "cooperative participation"?
  2. If yes, what actions can be proposed to be taken next to alleviate the issue, not only with the two directly mentioned communities in the linked post, but also others that potentially fall a victim to this kind of mod misbehaviour?

It should also be appropriate to hear the stance of the involved moderators, why they do what they do, but obviously it is up to them to provide clarifications.

Thank you in advance, I love you all.

governance type: sense check

Yes, it looks similar. I wonder what is really going on here...

 

I hope I'm not exposing myself to some kind of retailation, but here it goes.

It has been brought to my attention in a totally unrelated discussion that moderator(s) of !stable_diffusion_witches@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !stable_diffusion_mycology@lemmy.dbzer0.com hosted here on db0 seemingly randomly ban users (including me) which had never ever even interacted with the community as being "Anti-AI Trolls", "Neoliberals" or other names. Some other users are banned for "Vote Manipulation" (what does that even mean?! you still addicted to reddit's karma or what?).

While I totally don't mind these communities, content served by them and their rules as stated in the sidebar, I somehow found myself caring for what lemmy.dbzer0.com represents in the fediverse. I am of strong stance that such behaviour like described above (proactively banning random users) stands in a potential violation of The Golden Rules which are the foundation of this instance. This starts to be noticeable and brings negative perception of our instance.

I claim that such behaviour is in contradiction of rules calling for cooperative participation in the community by creating "closed garden" of only the most trusted users by the moderation where noone else can participate. The rules under which someone is banned are not clear, bans are not directly connected to any particular user comment and/or action.

I call for the community to voice their oppinion about this matter and if the community agrees with my objection to such behaviour as described above, I call for a proper action to be taken to enforce the community standards.

Thank you.

Guess what? I am also banned and never had I ever interacted with this community. I think this issue needs to be raised on my instance…
