  • I’d say because it’s still new and the content is very nerd heavy as you have probably seen from all the Linux posts. Also, most user’s here come from the reddit exodus after the removal of third party apps.

    One other thing is that when you link content from Lemmy you can just link the image directly instead of sending a link to Lemmy with a login screen. The adoption rate from people linking will be a lot lower since Lemmy is not sacrificing quality to increase numbers.

    Either way, I like the size and it suits me, I can “finish” my Lemmy for the day in a reasonable amount of time and I get my fix of Linux news, memes and shitposts so it’s just a win for me.




  • I have cooked pasta 100s of times and I prefer it broken. Long pasta in annoying when you twirl it on a fork since you get often too much too little.

    Also nice that the cooking is standardised so you can test a single pasta and know it’s a representative sample.

    And if your pot size is small, it takes a lot longer than a couple of seconds to soften enough to push it in.





  • If you have 48GB you don’t need a swapfile. To min-max you could lower the “swappiness” so it uses swapfiles way less. It’s just bonus memory that lives on the SSD. Swap files and swap partitions behave the same unless you run out of SSD space.

    Linux system has better architecture than Windows so your system is safe unless you install a virus (of which there are way fewer).

    Where you install programs? Just use the app store or terminal, the location doesn’t matter.

    The “hardening” is interesting though, you can go really far into security if you want. If things are installed in user-space it can’t fuck with your computer on a fundamental level so it’s preferred. You don’t have to worry about it though unless your installing some niche programs from someone you know nothing about.
