Turns out banning hate speech is woke now. Fun...

If you're new to fedi/lemmy, welcome! We hope you enjoy your stay.

If you've used Reddit or another similar platform, Lemmy should about the same. Federation, mostly when discovering content your instance hasnt seen, is a bit more finnicky. https://lemmyverse.net/communities is a useful tool for discovering content, if you wsnt to check everywhere for something. That bottom link with the exclamation mark is the one to copy in your instance's search, as itll discover the community that way if you can't see it otherwise.

also, pro tip: sort by top 6 hours. Youll thank me later.

Gen Z has a greater comfortness with singleness

I wonder why

Real answer: too lazy to port / not worth enough to port

Once again, privacy-disrespecring discord is nuking things to keep its own ass safe. FOSS devs, when will you ever learn?

[–] Zink@pawb.social 2 points 7 months ago

Fix? Sounds completely intentional. Nitro was never said to block ads, anyways. And giving money to a company because they added ads is incentive for them to do more.

[–] Zink@pawb.social 1 points 7 months ago

It's not fucking about the fact that the ads are meager. It's about the fact that there are ads.

It's not like you go to sleep and wake up to find the things you love are suddenly ad-laden, have subscription services, and removed hundreds of features. But every time we say " yeah this is fine " then they'll add just a little more, and keep doing that until they've successfully ruined their platform.

American thing

Not in my town, but they're not hard to find literally anywhere in the US

In case it wasn't already obvious that they are not encrypting like they said they were...

I was trying to hint at something...

Alzheimers group is leaking

 

I don't know how to put tags on (using eternity), but this is, in fact, serious.

So, turns out my high school left developer mode accessible on chromebooks. Sick of the restrictions that even make doing schoolwork slow, I wanted to set up dual boot for Linux Mint and Chrome Os.

My main concern, however, is maintaining the original content on my chromebook in order to keep it functional (and still appear somewhat standard to the school) while also giving me the access to the stuff I need.

Entering google's developer mode claims to "erase all local data". If this does not include applications, please tell me as that would solve every problem below.

Main concerns:

  • My school uses GoGuardian, and some teachers make use of the remote screen viewing feature. On another school computer, creating an account using my school gmail automatically installed the app, and I'm hoping a separate set-up will still do this.

  • My school has a lot of kiosk apps, some of which I have used, others which I have not. I'll provide a list if asked, but my main concerns are testnav (ap test), DRC insight, and NWEA secure testing+state solutions.

Inb4 "don't do this": I do not care, and this does not help. If the task becomes too much for me, then I'm not doing it. But as of now, I'm deadset on trying to get this to work.

Edit: It's not a good idea to risk your computer, I realized that as time went on. The challenges and the fact that the easiest options rely on hardware manipulation are just unsafe in general. Vox OS, as suggested by another user who develops the project, worked more than fine and doesn't risk destruction. Settle for a little less in exchange for little risk.

 
 
 

Also is it just me or did this community explode all of a sudden? I made like one post, came back, and the 7 here became like 20 or so
