I assume SSH is not exposed to the internet by default on openSUSE? I have not used SSH on my install so should I be safe if I just update?

This but I don’t have time or knowledge.

This is the first one I’ve read that feels over explained. I think this would be funnier if it didn’t have the “when birds don’t read” text.

Ha fair point. I’d argue though that if you never, say, took the steps of getting to the NFL then you didn’t make an “attempt.”

But yeah, in your analogy it’s more like his team didn’t make it to the playoffs.

I didn’t even think about the software costs. Makes sense. The whole “you don’t really own your games.”

Albino is only used as a term when it’s a deviation from the species norm usually. There are all white cave bugs.

Eh, you’re talking what, $1500 for a headset and rig? Even if you have 4 setups at one of those kiosks the cost to have someone running it is going to quickly outpace the cost of the hardware.

The article specifically says he did not get to try ape sperm on human women. I know it takes away some of the shock value of your post.

Specifically just anti-cheat that chooses not to support Linux at this point.

Is that a polio joke? Dang.

You can’t just install an arbitrary Linux distro on an Android tablet.

If you want to run Linux, buy something like the Juno or Librem tablets.

For the first point… kind of but not really. Having an account on a second small instance still gives you the backup, and if one of the two goes down you can create an account on another instance as a new backup.

For the defederation, nah. I like lemdro.id because they haven’t really defederated from anyone except for spam instances, and they’re small enough that no one has targeted them for defederation.

Two main reasons…

• As a backup in case your home instance goes down.
• If there are instances your home instance is defederated from and the other instance is not.

That’s about it.

Someone at BuzzFeed is reading our Lemmy conversations:

I thoroughly enjoyed all of these today.

I think there are two big reasons…

• During the big Reddit exodus, a lot of people were recommending lemmy.world.
• It’s a general purpose instance. People tend to flock to those rather than more specific topical instances.

Did you know that mastodons were relatively short? Despite being nearly 40% more massive than modern African elephants, the American Mastodon was 25% shorter on average!

Don’t be afraid to customize your install with YaST. You can add/remove packages before you do the installation.

You’ll need packman if you need restricted codecs for video.

Update with zypper dup as a general rule.

It’s not a minimum before a check is issued. If you do not have a certain number of annual listeners on a track you never get paid out for it. If you had 100 tracks that were each streamed by 999 listeners who each streamed them 100 times per year every year, Spotify will no longer pay you a dime, ever.

I think a key point of confusion is in the way they presented it. They talk about how many songs have “less than 1000 listens” and that those would only make $3, but then their new policy is to deny payment for “less than 1000 listeners.” If each of those listeners streamed the song once per month, you’re talking closer to $40 than $3, and that’s on a per song basis.

The newest part, which is Spotify refusing to payout what small artists are owed if they don’t hit a certain streaming threshold, is 100% on Spotify.

For alternatives, Tidal allegedly pays better and at least doesn’t do this. Qobuz is not owned by any big tech company.
