No they are different backends, they just use the same protocol.

Teseraract, Photon, and Mlmym are different frontends for Lemmy.

PieFed has completely separate frontend and backend code from Lemmy’s code.

Yes they are completely different front and backends but they use the same protocol (ActivityPub).

This is why open source is so important. If the dev goes crazy and blocks all sorts of stuff the community can fork the code and remove the block list, while still remaining interoperable with Lemmy, other Piefeds, Mbin.

That’s way different to say Facebook where they fight to the death to stop you using an app that isn’t their official one.

Piefed isn’t a fork of Lemmy, it’s completely independent code. They just speak the same language.

One place I worked issued work from home kits, and asked you to please never ever ever return your keyboard and mouse, it’s yours forever, keep it when you quit, because no one else will want it once it’s been WFHed for a while.

Just to be clear, how long is this line in terms of distance? It sounds like a lot of running.

I didn’t learn about Precordial Catch Syndrome until I’d nearly grown out of it.

Wikipedia says ages 6-12 but other sources say from 6 through to early 20s which is more in line with my experience.

I got married and it doesn’t come with any tax benefits 😭

Is there an xkcd about warning labels on things where they are warning that the package contains the thing that the package is selling?

I couldn’t find one, which makes me question whether there really is an xkcd for everything.

Ah interesting, I wonder why that is. I definitely have man pages on the ones I checked.

Just to be clear, was man installed but not man pages? Or man itself was not installed? I have found variations in exactly what man pages are available but man itself was installed on all I tested, and there were man pages available.

But if you have either no man installed or no man pages on Ubuntu Cinnamon or Mint, that doesn’t seem right. SteamOS is Arch based so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was no man by default.

I think citation is needed here. I’ve never been an arch user, but I’ve also never had a distro without man.

I’m lazy and more likely to do an internet search or if I’m just trying to remember the commands, use tldr 😅

I just tested, Nobara (fedora based), Ubuntu server, and Mint all have man installed.

Is there something about AMD I should know? The others seem very similar to the list of companies you should boycott 😅

It’s Nobara, a Fedora derivative. I’ve used it for probably 3 years now, with some brief hops to other distros in the middle, and it’s always been great. Really it’s just Fedora with gaming related stuff preinstalled to make it effortless.

I actually made a post here, but I think I solved the controller problem and the game is still crashing (even without the controller connected, but the system no longer crashes) so maybe I should make a new post.

Going through this right now, when a system update broke the game I was playing and the only support channel for my distro is Discord (so far, no one has replied to me on discord 🙁)

If you don’t like the puzzles, don’t feel bad about using a walk through to get through them. They aren’t why you’re playing the game, so you’re not ruining anyone’s fun.

If you’re looking for answers, then any post in a community with a good spread of subscribers will get noticed. It doesn’t need to be currently active.

Heaps of people browse All. And Lemmy is small enough that most of the time posts will get seen, the content doesn’t get buried particularly fast.

No, this is Patrick.

Stole explanation from r/ELI5:

When you stand on the north pole how fast are you moving relative to the earth’s core?

Zero, you just spin around in place once every 24 hours.

When you stand on the equator how fast are you moving?

1000mph, you have to circumnavigate the earth in a day.

This difference doesn’t matter much when you throw a baseball, but it absolutely matters when you’re a storm the size of a country. > This disparity in relative speed rotates the storm since the equatorial side is moving faster than the polar side, and it provides the swirling structure of the hurricane.

But here’s the problem - storms in the north spin counter-clockwise and storms in the south spin clockwise.

That means to cross the equator you have to stop and reverse direction. That’s not happening, and hurricanes never track near the equator because neither the storm itself nor the prevailing winds that push it around can approach this reversal boundary.

Not only is NZ on this map but it’s not even way off in the corner!
