Lemmy is its own cult. Weight mentioned in the headline and every comment is about their zero science “worked for me” aproach to weight loss and then claiming its universal and drugs bad. Not a single comment talking about how this research has found a medicine for diabetes treatment that can be used for people having bad reactions to standard one, and the fact that thats really cool
KDE is commited to keeping the desktop itself SystemD agnostic. Their new login manager does depend on SystemD, but you can run KDE Plasma from any login manager
SystemD isnt exactly a program but more of a group of projects, the only “core” SystemD software on most distros is the init system… Which you can run completely without SystemD’s UserDB system (the part being talked about in the post).
Basically this means you as a user dont have to do anything but switch away from projects that depend on SystemD’s UserDB (like Gnome), not SystemD as a whole
However if you do want to move away from SystemD as a whole you can replace your init system with another one, gentoo’s wiki is a good starting point for learning a bit more: wiki. Personally I love using openrc but of you have no need to touch init files… Dont switch
At least in my experiance I’ve been dragged because “X told you their pronouns, using they means your trying to invalidate them” I’ve talked to X like 3 times and do not plan on being more then acquaintances/coworkers. Somedays I just want to say, “I wont remeber your pronouns because I don’t care about you, not because I’m transphobic” but that would just create a lot of drama I would care even less about
This has also been a really controversial take of mine. But I have an even more controversial opinion that if I’m not well aquanted or friends with you, using they/them to refer to you is not offensive. I can barely remember peoples names much less your specific pronouns
Fun fact this is actually a well known proven thing! Hide the pain harold.jxl
Study apon study has found that by reducing work, giving people their basic needs, and letting us follow our passions makes us exponentially more productive and happier. But that would only benifit the commoners since the rich/powerful already have all that, and why would the people at the top help when they get off on the feeling of power
Personally I use pure wireguard, but it was a nightmare to setup when your working overtime (in the USA). Sometimes people need a simple binary that just connects without any further research, but I will admit now that I know wireguard it feels incredibly simple
