Yeah. I knew somone would say that. I feel Mint is its own thing though and main stream enough. I meant more the distros that have a webite, and then other flavours or spins on that distro.
I do want to try Debian at some stage but it just feels about old out of the box.
Ubuntu has ads in the OS, mint dosnt.
Installed mint on my parents laptops so they didn’t become e-waste when Win11 came out. They have no issues.
Being new(ish) to Linux since that time and I found that the main distortion are better than their sub “flavours”. For me anyway. I didn’t like Mint LMDE or Kubuntu etc.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Libreboot prevent unauthorized USB boot, aka somebody boot another OS and wipe your drive?
1·1 month agoReading the comments makes me wonder why BIOS passwords were even invented.
Sounds like everyone is saying its a waste of time and to never use it if the biis supports it.
So is drinking, smoking and other risk taking behavior. Dosnt make it right to engage in.
An adult should know this and is responsible for acting safley around children who do not have a fully developed brain.
If a 16yr old and adult thought that racing through traffic at high speeds is cool. It’s not going to be funny for the adult to actually do that, and it’s irresponsible if they do. Just because a kid thinks it’s cool doesn’t mean it is.
I know you feel grown, but in time you will learn. Then again. Maybe not.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"Stop making me make accounts. A lightbulb that changes colors shouldn't require an account. A TV speaker shouldn't require an account, also quit asking for my email"

I do wonder though. With device fingerprinting being what it is (and I’m only learning how deep it goes) I imagine it would be fairly easy to say all @yadaya.something are all the same person, and not individual people.
I do a lot to stay anonymous/blend in (so many different threat models) but I wonder how much it does if they jsut know anyway.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•It's about logic and not "feelings"

CEO: Got it. More ads in products.
Technically sponsor block dies this. It’s on more projects than just revanced.
Basically a dissociative right?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?
3·3 months agoI doubt those cultural contexts were understood by most of the west, and yet it was successful.
It goes to reason then that a western remake doesn’t need them specifically.
But yeah. Have a fucking original idea Hollywood. I’ve given up watching remakes and sequels.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a fediverse service that access most fediverse networks?
1·3 months agoThis is something that I still don’t get. Most info says it doesn’t matter what instanc you joined but I never liked the content in my home instance.
The advice is always that you can move instances. So I moved to this one where I followed a lot of the content. But there is no built in way to port over the content you follow. So I had to use a script I found on GirHub.
Then I got Mastadon to see what was going on there. I realised soon that that the content I was following on mastason was the same as Lemmey.
Now moving to PieFed (were I’ll still see the same content) as it has better cross posting visibility.
At least this is what i understand.
So then what would I see different on Mbin, or how I supposed to use Masterson different to Lemmy.
*note that see the same content dosnt apply to whatever instances have been defederared (in either direction) from your home.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can people with ADHD possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie?
9·3 months agoFrom one of their 4 posts “Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is?”.
So I’d say yes.
Or possibly they are 14

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can people with ADHD possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie?
5·3 months agoThat’s simply not true. You don’t HAVE to sit down and stop everything to enjoy a movie or film.
Grandma knitted through everything and still enjoyed it. So it dodn’t have to be seen. The same goes for vision impaired. The same goes for washing the dishes or any task on auto pilot.
I’m also sure the Spanish soap opera where a breakup scene goes for 5 episodes can be walked in and out of without someone coming back in and going “oh damn I’m so lost what’s happening.” Later seasons of Walking Dead are much the same. So is Big Bang Theory.
What about music? Must an album be listened to in full without doing anything? A radio song played out before turning off the car.
I digress. People can enjoy things in a different way to you my dude.
If you have a nuro spicy friend that won’t sit still and watch a movie from start to end with you maybe find something else to do.
But it feels like your not REALLY asking a question here and accepting answer’s. You just want to stand on a soapbox and say “THIS IS HOW I ENJOY AN ACTIVITY AND THINK IT IS DONE. YOU MUST DO IT LIKE ME”.

How many mg is of clonidine are people on?
I just meant xmr but https://localmonero.co/lolks closed.
But it’s the same for any crypto here.

Came here to say this and also promote the same font.
I read a few Google Scholar articles and ce up with the same conclusion. Basically it boils down to larger font size, sans serif, clear differences in similar letters (iliji etc).
Plus one of the dyexic fonts is huge by default and using it plus scalling it down broke other things like emails.
Hyperledgeable or Arial if using default MS fonts (work) set to slightly larger scale is just as good.
I also made a “bionic text” version of hyperledgeable, but the science also calls bullshit on that. I still like it though.
