I’ve only felt the need to change distros once, from Linux Mint to EndeavourOS, because I wanted Wayland support. I realize there were ways to get Wayland working on Mint in the past, but I’ve already made the switch and have already gotten used to my current setup. I personally don’t feel like I’m missing out by sticking to one distro, tbh. If you’re enjoying Mint, I’d suggest to stick with it, unless another distro fulfills a specific need you can’t get on Mint.

Well, if that extends beyond paying to be the default search engine, I’d be happy to take a look at a source if you have one. Changing search engines is also only a matter of a few clicks.

Classic…ask for more info and they disappear

I prefer supporting browser alternatives as opposed to supporting Google’s monopoly of web browsing

Bangs are awesome, and so are the Vim keybinds

This does not spark joy.

Vouching for Endeavour–I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and it’s been great. I have an AMD gpu though.

I hope you’re not refusing to clean the cat’s litter box because neglect is a form of abuse. I feel sorry for the cat.

After spending the day reading about NLP, this is an interesting article to pop up on my feed to say the least…

I am so tired of seeing this goon on my feed

Chiming in to say #Wayland is what resolved this issue for me. I had to switch from Linux Mint Cinnamon to #EndeavourOS + #GNOME and I’m much happier with my setup now.

#Wayland has been much better for my setup thus far

Recently switched to #EndeavourOS after using #LinuxMint for 9 months. Love it.

China is one of the biggest culprits for blatant plagiarism and IP theft, although recently even academics from Ivy league universities have been implicated in fraudulent publications.

Sure, let’s make this about China when 4 out of 5 of the authors credited for the original article are from Africa.

• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kahsay-Tadesse-Mawcha
• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hategekimana-Athanase
• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joelle-Kajuga
• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dennis-Ndolo-Obonyo

While only one of which was from China. This doesn’t even address the fact that the republished paper came from Mawcha which describes a study on millipedes in… Africa. Guess what, Wenxiang Yang wasn’t even credited in this version. Was your reply carelessness or dishonesty and lack of integrity? I don’t care where the misinformation and carelessness comes from as long as we’re making efforts to stop it, but this is highly ironic.

Assuming this is carelessness, this just goes to show that working in academia isn’t an indicator of critical thinking skills IMO

Cheers, I got my own lab up and running earlier this year as well.

Copy/pasted from a previous response I wrote regarding this topic. I hope it helps:

When you follow a given account on #Mastodon with your #kbin account, posts from that account will be #federated here. If they use #hashtags, then posts they write will be federated into #magazines here based on permitted tags chosen by magazine moderators which show up in the #microblogging section of a magazine. AFAIK, posts that don’t get sorted into a particular magazine will be sent to @random. In order to search for magazines/communities, you can enter linux@lemmy.world into the search bar for example.

Attached below is some helpful information.

I liked the name #kbin more than #lemmy, and the integration of #microblogging is a feature I appreciate. IME, lemmy also tends to attract more memes and shitposts, which generally turn me off.

Been interested in #Linux, #Bash, and #Vim lately. I’ve been developing a casual interest in cyber-security and data privacy as well.

I like Linux because: it’s free, I have more control, it runs really smoothly across several of my devices, the communities have been fascinating, and there’s a lot to learn.

Bash has been helpful for doing some light file management. I’m no expert or anything, I’ve just enjoyed organizing my stuff better lately. Speaking of Bash, I really like the #CLI. I’ve even started accidentally using #terminal commands while using my web browser.

As tech evolves, our data and information becomes more accessible to ourselves and the people around us. I think it’s a bit concerning at times the extent and accuracy that corporations can harvest info. I’ve been gradually adopting better practices for privacy/security, but within reason.

I like the forum-style posts and #microblogging integration. The local community has also been pleasant to engage with so far. I’ve been running two magazines and lately have been seeing some federated Mastodon posts show up in one of the magazines I run. It’s nice to have an area akin to a daily discussion thread which lets me engage with the different parts of the #fediverse.
