Have accounts on other lemmies that I don’t use but I want to use lemmy.world the way I would use reddit. One account that takes care of my identity.
I’m not creating 20 different accounts on 20 different instances.

It’s a stupid point from my perspective. Can’t just jump from every Lemmy instance whenever they do stupid shit.
Besides federated tools are already hard to use as they are. Might not be worth the trouble in the long run if censorship is rampant on every big instance.
Everywhere. HN, Twitter, Reddit, Element. If lemmy.world mods make another justification post for de-federating a community they disagree with, it’s bye bye Lemmy.
Google has been so far very quiet on this issue. I wonder why.
They successfully went after Vanced 2 years ago so it’s shouldn’t be too far fetched for them.

What is exactly false about my statement?
Nah. The real advice here is use uBlock Origin and control your cookies. Both Chrome and Firefox contains things that go against user privacy.
Yes. Flathub aims to replace your distro’s repository as the source for non-system packages.
Install Opensuse Leap.
The blue A-shaped logo distro just clicked for me. Don’t think I’ll ever get tempted to wander.
Dejadup backup is neat if you need a GUI. But TBH, you really don’t need a GUI, restic will work just fine as long as you target a few folders. It mostly boils down to file/folder hygiene.
Any (Arch) based distro + Sway
Some apps automatically pick up your theme some don’t. For these I give the specific app access to my theme folder with a :ro at the end of the path.
IDEs should work ootb. If some extension doesn’t work, maybe it’s because of poor support for Flatpak. 9/10 times you’ll find the issue is that app is calling the traditional /usr/bin path etc. when Flatpak installations use different paths.
fast way to get secure boot to work
vs best use of secure boot. Your pick.
Your GRUB can be encrypted behind FDE and iirc there is also an option to create a password for grub. So far I haven’t seen cases of bootloaders being compromised/bypassed so we are not there yet.
Pretty sure there’s not a lack of guides for setting up secure boot on Ubuntu/Debian, unless you are looking for something specific.
While I don’t know how well your hardware can work with secure boot, this is a good guide to get started on Arch. https://swsnr.de/2022/01/06/install-arch-with-secure-boot-tpm2-based-luks-encryption-and-systemd-homed.html Don’t know how well Debian supports any of the mentioned tools but you probably shouldn’t be going with Debian’s implementation of secure boot as it uses Microsoft’s keys.
I use TPM pcrs 0,1 and 7 with no issues across reboots and zero prompts to unlock LUKS as dracut
resigns my kernel images on every update.
Relatively fast updates, AUR, PKGBUILD, Downgrade, the Wiki, the community, not controlled by some corporate entity, no telemetry, and last but not least the logo ;)
Opt-in = Low value metrics
Opt-out = Better metrics
If I read that right, looks like Fedora is justifying application of opt-out metrics as long as there’s little/no PII present in the data collected.
All of them. Am pro free speech and strongly against censorship.
