People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I'm not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

Redditors brigading against Lemmy in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an "instance" is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a "thing" to have different instances of the same site iteracting.

Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It's not a "big lie". I'm currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they're not loading for some reason. I'm confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.

When was the last time an open source project disappointed you? in c/[email protected]

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

A NSFW Reddit community is now a 'Christian Minecraft server' as moderators attack the site's 'disgusting' and 'disrespectful' monetization moves in c/[email protected]

NSFW Reddit is the worst these days. Nothing but onlyfans ads

How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Australia: Very unusual. I'll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think "fucking weirdos". It's more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It's more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. in c/[email protected]

Good as dead then.

Are all invite-only torrent sites like this? in c/[email protected]

Usually there'll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that's 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you'll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you'll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

What distro(s) do you use? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just downloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1
