I ran into something similar on Linux Mint. Never seen my installation kill itself before until this. Ended up booting into Recovery mode from the grub menu, and rolled back using Timeshift restore.

For me, the culprit was the ubuntu-drivers-common update, because after I rolled back, I was able to install all the other updates without issue. I just blacklisted this one update to keep it from showing until the next version is released.

The Lift is slightly smaller. So depending on the size of your hands, one may fit better than the other. The Lift also has a quieter, less crisp-feeling, click. To me that makes it feel like a cheap mouse, but others may like that quality.

I use mine several times a week primarily for reheating leftovers. It's really good for recrisping things back up. Hardly ever use it to cook anything though, besides french fries.

I get that it's very similar to subreddits going private, and that we have no control over that when it happens. I just find it very disruptive to lose 1/3 of my communities all at once due these events.

The draw of the fediverse is all this interconnectedness. But with people being so divisive these days, it just feels like the end will be siloed walled gardens everywhere. If I need a dozen logins to participate in the communities I want, it just defeats the whole purpose, and we might as well go back to old school single-topic forums.

I used an extreme example, but it's not always that obvious that you're on a server that's going to offend the wrong instance admin. Some don't want to associate with porn, others "tankies". In this case, lemmy.world's offense was simply being "too big".

I get that a lot of redditors are used to creating alts and throwaway accounts. I just don't want to have to do that constantly as a workaround for communities disappearing from my feed due to defederation.

Fedora is nice. I use it on my touchscreen laptop and most things just worked out of the box. I use Linux Mint on my desktop and I really like it. I think it's a great distro for people coming from Windows, since the UI will feel a little more familiar.

On Chrome you can create profiles, and Firefox has the multi-account containers add-in. Either feature will allow you to simultaneously visit the same website with different saved logins in separate windows.

I agree with this. Everyone keeps saying that it doesn't matter which instance you sign up with, since everything is federated. But my biggest concern is thriving communities potentially getting cut off from the rest of the fediverse because they unluckily got created on an instance that has a bad reputation for something completely unrelated. Allowing users to individually hide entire instances for themselves seems like the better approach.
