On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.

Ubuntu 9.04, because of WUBI (anyone remember that?). Unstable as hell, but allowed you to run a near bare metal Linux install without the hassle of setting up dual-booting and a separate partition. Liked Ubuntu it so much that I soon replaced Windows completely. Currently running Debian, so I haven't strayed far from the family.

Most of my "reading" is via audiobooks so I'm a fan. I'm busy and don't have a lot of time to sit and read, but I spend hours every day on activities that don't require my full focus. Audiobooks are a great way to make the time go by faster.

Listening to an audiobook feels different than reading, but a good narrator can create an engaging and immersive experience.

Continental Airlines, way back in the 1960's.

That is true, but vowels are rarely included in published or written Hebrew. Readers determine the correct word through context, familiarity and grammar rules that can hint at the missing vowel.

I browse both my subscribed feed and the all feed depending on my mood. If a community is particularly obnoxious it gets blocked, otherwise I just ignore it when I'm browsing all. Most of my blocks are meme, tankie and NSFW communities.

Cool! I loved my Palm PDA back in the day, but mine wasn't nearly as fancy as that.

Most WWII fighters were basically large engines with the smallest possible airframe fit around them. The only armaments typically carried were guns, so they were light, fast and nimble.

I've always used Xubuntu. It's reasonably lightweight and the Ubuntu USB creator does the heavy lifting for creating persistence. The only downside is you have to have a running instance an Ubuntu flavor (bare metal, VM or USB) to use the tool.

Hey @ken27238@lemmy.ml, would you please consider cross-posting some of your military aircraft photos to !warplaneporn@lemmy.world? Would love to have more people participating in the community.
