3% and growing. Be sure to remember the publishers that catered to Linux in the transition and those that cast us aside.

Nah, ignorance is always fixable. Everyone has to learn at some point. Willful ignorance though is stupid. Have fun learning.

It's up to you. The reason I'm into computers was because I broke the family computer when I was a kid and had to fix it so my parents wouldn't find out that I broke it, lol. From there my curiosity about how they worked and how to upgrade them only took me further. Now I have 8 machines and 1 lenovo mini as a router in my house and none run Windows anymore. Anything from Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE, OPNSense, Debian, Raspbian, SteamOS, and Arch (btw). My next project will be checking out how Plasma Big Screen is coming along and build a home theater PC. Your new hobby can take you down some rabbit holes for sure. An unwiped corporate SSD is quite a big slip up for their infosec team if it wasn't stolen.

Delete is usually the key to press on Lenovo machines to get to the BIOS so you can change the boot load order and redo or disable secure boot.

I'm curious about what is on that ssd. If you are too and the ssd is removable, taking it out and putting it in an enclosure to see what's on it would be interesting.

I'm still leery after coming over from a TrueNAS app deployment of NC that crashed and I was never able to get back running. Docker AIO has been good so far, but NC is the reason I validate backups.

In this instance there were 6 downvotes to 83 upvotes for over 93% positive rate in 3 days on an announcement community for an instance. If 6 is mass downvotes, then I suspect your are looking for any excuse to justify toxic moderation.

Anyone banning for downvoting is incredibly petty or thin skinned, just my observation. If it wasn't for the instance shutting down, it would have made a good post on yptb. Reading other comment threads on this post support the thin skinned theory imho. I just happened to be browsing all when I found the post. Looking at my subs, I wasn't subscribed to any community there.

I won't forget the mods of the star trek subreddit banning people for just criticizing Disco and Picard not for being woke or whatever other conservative dog whistles at the time, but for legitimate reasons. That's the behavior I avoid. I don't need a mod to protect me from differing opinions. It's the internet ffs. Then there was the crusade against all the "_trek" subreddits. Claiming harassment to get Reddit to shut them down so that no one with differing opinions about the shows could have a community was absolutely inexcusable. That's why I avoid your instance like the plague.

It's also the best part of Lemmy and fediverse on the whole and what we agree on. No one person can control everything.

Yeah, that's fair. I only see the interaction put in front of me, what's been posted, and anything I might catch in certain matrix channels. The only known interaction I had with PTZ directly was a ban and him giving me the finger.

So where are we going after the shutdown? (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884

lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.

What you need to know

As of now:

  • New user registrations are disabled
  • Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

  • You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
  • If you're moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
  • Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
  • If you're one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.

Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

We know this sucks. We're genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

– lemm.ee team

Biggest Takeaways

T-Mobile Customers Get MLS Season Pass Free

T-Mobile is giving qualified T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers — including businesses — a promotional offer for complimentary access to MLS Season Pass all season long with no blackout dates.

And this stupid gem

“MLS Season Pass delivers fans exactly what they want, connecting them with the game they love across all of their devices, with no blackouts,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services.

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

MLS execs Garber, Rodriguez say Open Cup move is for greater good of U.S. soccer (theathletic.com)

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

Any chance Voyager will be made compatible with Lemmy Redirect? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I found a massive quality of life improvement this morning with Mastodon Redirect and it makes interacting with Mastodon links found outside my Mastodon app so much more easier to interact with. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement this. I spoke with the dev of Lemmy Redirect and he said the reason Voyager isn't supported is because Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links

Is the best place to submit feature requests here or the github?

Is there a Mastodon android app that has the option to open mastodon instances in the app (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.
