Corgana@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog1·4 months agoTo be clear- this is just your personal “vibe” and not an actual fact, because the term “third world country” literally means a country that is not aligned with the US or USSR. If you meant “developing nation” that term also has a definition the US does not meet.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog0·4 months agoFirst of all, that’s not what “Economic Freedom” means in the context of democracy, but more importantly “economic freedom” is not even a factor in the methodology used by the group this article is citing.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?1·4 months agoWhich ones? Searched and couldn’t find anything. This MotleyFool article is over 4 years old when COVID was still raging, hardly “recent”.

Corgana@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons2·6 months agoHonestly I had the same thought. But on the other hand, internet outrage talking points have also become extremely formulaic…
Bitwarden
Do you mean Bitdefender (the antivirus)? Bitwarden is free.
Before anyone well ackhuallys me yes, there is a very cheap $0.80/mo plan if you want an authenticator.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Kickstarter for Pixelfed and Loops11·6 months agoThe kickstarter is official too, Daniel tooted it recently.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own communityEnglish1·6 months ago“Lemmy” is actually not a platform like Reddit, it’s software and the network of instances running that software is decentralized (Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol) meaning each instance is operated by a different person (or group). There are also other similar softwares like Piefed and mBin that work pretty well with Lemmy. That is all to say that if an Admin or Mod is “getting fascisty” you can block that instance, join another, or even create your own. That’s the beauty of ActivityPub!
Corgana@startrek.websitetomicromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility@lemmy.world•Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttlesEnglish1·6 months agoIf your legs are the primary driver then you do not have the type of vehicle the law is targeting.
Corgana@startrek.websitetomicromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility@lemmy.world•Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttlesEnglish1·6 months agoElectric vehicles with a throttle (what the law is targeting) can absolutely be used as motorcycles. Hence why CA feels motorcycle-like vehicles need to be reclassified. What the law is targeting are functionally motorcycles/mopeds with pedals attached.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?91·7 months agolol I was going to suggest “it just works”
I would not have suggested that before this year but it’s definitely true now, or at least truer than for Windows/Apple.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Force windows games to recognize playstation controller?2·7 months agoSome more popular games will have mods to make the Xbox buttons look like a DS4s buttons, buuuut if the game studio devs didn’t create the assets then they didn’t create them.
Corgana@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.1·8 months agoI loved the constant pop-ups with offers for things I could purchase. If I don’t purchase something frequently enough I get sad so it’s nice to have an OS that cares about my well being.
For years I had thought I got old and don’t have friends who play games as much anymore but this meme made me realize it’s that I wasn’t making new gaming friends.
Maybe we didn’t achieve our goals in the way we set out to do, but we made a lot of friends (decals) along the way.
