• Set a decently good password (password is required frequently on Linux, so do go overboard with a 40-random-characters-long password, you will regret it)
• don’t install programs or run scripts from shady sources, prefer to install programs from the Software store (package manager and flatpak)
• setup a backup system to regularly copy all your files to a separate storage device. This is the way to protect yourself from ransomware but also user errors! Having the possibility to format your drive, reinstall and restore backup in a 1 hour time span is going to give you the peace of mine you need for exploring and experimenting with Linux

All the right wing politicians mentioned in the article have ties with Putin’s regime and it has been exposed one way or another. They are doing a lot more than me to make WW3 happen.

They are all making up stories while we still don’t know anything about the hitman. For each and every one off them, I hope that justice is brought upon them and punishes them for their corruption, crimes and disservice to the EU citizens. If we can’t have that, then I guess each a bullet to the neck will do fine.

I only engage in ESD-safe friendships.

So cruel. Birds given the gift of flight, sent on the moon with no atmosphere, rendering their wings utterly useless. They can’t even use their beak with the helmet.

The guitar playing with the missing fingers made me cry instantly.

I sure love tacos, but I think any food would get me.

Initially I thought French and Chinese, but I love pizza so much, and Greek food is so delicious too.

So, I found a compromise: Mediterranean and Chinese 😋

I see how it could replace PayPal, for person to person small transactions. I’ve used it only a couple of times to pay back some friends. I don’t see Wero becoming useful for paying groceries or other goods and services from companies any time soon unfortunately, especially here in south Germany where paying by card it still much more complicated that it’s out to be in 2025 ! I have some hope about the digital Euro, but this one is also a long shot.

My opinion: they are fanatics, there is no logic to it beyond just the feeling to belonging to a group, a counter-culture of sort. It’s not different from Facebook flatearthers, just a different fixation.

Tankies have a lot of reach here on Lemmy because the main developer is one of them and he also is the admin of lemmy.ml, which is one of the biggest and oldest Lemmy instance (server) with many active users and communities.

Tankies, by definition, will support China and Russia without a single atom of discernment. Cherry picking whatever “facts” goes their way and dismissing any contradiction as “western propaganda” or just telling you you are a matrixed liberal minded retard.

It’s best to only respond to them in Russian or Mandarin, because funny enough, they can’t speak a single word of these languages.

Don’t you know that PRC is the most democratic country in the world ?!? People are totally free to express themselves! PRC is a beacon of light showing us the way to total respect of human rights and diversity!!!

I’m reading this comment with a French accent 😅

No, it’s simply pronounced 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓰𝓮𝓾𝓻 🥖

“Hello, police ? I need to report a food crime”

Tell that to my workplace. They have the worst toilet paper in there. I won’t pass on an opportunity to poop on the job, best possible use of my time.

Charger or Chargeur

Release the model !!!
