Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I’m not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

Usually there’ll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that’s 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you’ll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you’ll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I’ve just donloaded Ubuntu.

I’m getting basic display issues that I’ve never got in another distro (including tails!) and it’s generally annoying me. I’d rather use a distro that doesn’t require troubleshooting on Day 1

The great thing about using free open-source software is the immunity from corporate shenanigans.

Here’s how it’s going to go down: people will return to whatever the best centralised services are.

People don’t use social media to be awkwardly spread over different redundant servers that everyone else is on. People will return to Reddit, or a simple centralised alternative. People will flock to Bluesky.

I’m a long, long internet user and FOSS user, and I find Mastodon to be an incredible pain in the arse. It’s unintuative and confusing. Without an all powerful agoriithm, “good” posts are smothered by uninteresting thought bubbles from everyone on the server

edit: and what’s with the dark-themes on lemmy and mastodon? It’s uninviting. “Power users” often switch on dark themes on their operating systems and websites, but bright and happy themes are needed to welcome “the masses”

You can vote and make personal lifestyle/dietary sacrifices. It’s not mutually exclusive
