  • I’m not sure either. I think arch used to be one of the less popular distros (because of the more involved install process, solved now by the arch-based distros with friendly installers), despite having some of the best features, so it required more “evangelism”, that’s unecessary now. Arch-based distros are now some of the most popular ones, so its not necessary.

    Others have commented on why its so great, but the AUR + Rolling releases + stability means that arch is one of the “stable end states”. You might hop around a lot, but its one of the ones you end up landing on, and have no reason to change from.











  • Doing any nature related activities away from screens, whether it be daily walks, gardening, hiking, kayaking, mountain climbing, swimming, camping is really good for both mental and physical health.

    In that blue zones documentary, it’s said that daily walks and daily gardening help your mind and longevity more than any other activity.

    Learning a musical instrument is always good, and is something you can show off. Knitting, crocheting, or any kind of ravelry works your mind, and you can also listen to audiobooks while doing it. Woodworking (you can start small, even doing spoons and things).

    I wouldn’t be too focused on doing mentally challenging activities. Screens wear out our brains enough, and what we really need is time away from them to recharge.

    Outside of that I’d just recommend reading a lot of non-fiction, audiobooks where available.


  • “The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”

    British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.

    The lemmy back end in general doesn’t have mobile push notifications yet, those are still a wip.

    The current alternatives are to enable email notifications, or add the inbox feed to an rss reader (although that is pull, not push, so it really isn’t different from the app.)
