I’m here to help you as a peer . See you in !mentalhealth@lemmy.world

Summit. I love the screenshot feature. I can pick content and share to my WA stories

Maybe because they hate VPNs… I’m not sure if my answer is correct or not.

Nice idea 😎👍

If you ask me:-

I use a combination of my instincts, including distro-hopping, since I began using Linux in 2017, reading articles online about Linux tutorials, and even watching YouTube videos. I gave up on Linux and returned to Windows many times, but it ultimately made me return to Linux because it is meant to be my forever operating system. There are so many Linux tutorials available online, including on YouTube. Indian channels taught me how to install Ubuntu, and that was my most memorable beginning with Linux. I also recommend chatting with current viral technologies such as generative AIs; they’ll provide you with answers. So, keep exploring Linux. 😎👍

I agree. I also choose to believe that admins and mods have done and are doing their best, because in my online experience, it is always contrary to what some negative users claim, that mods and admins are not doing their job. No, it’s the opposite. This is especially true when the team of admins and mods is transparent about their decisions.

it’s true that even smart people fall for well-crafted social engineering.

Also, I have concerns that if I sign up for only one instance, that instance may shut down one day and I could lose all my data.

I can see that some instances have different rules and different kinds of names. So far, I have found that lemmy.world is the most reliable and general instance I can participate in. I discovered another instance called monyet.cc; the name looks funny. “Monyet” in Malay means “monkey.” That’s why I am currently awaiting their review to see if I can participate in that instance.

Meow. 😎

I think that the user isn’t literally named Nicole. Also, the picture sent to us may not represent the user behind the screens either. I believe I will never know who the user is behind the pictures sent to us and the name “Nicole.” Perhaps the moderators can do their job, and the fediverse developers can take steps to make our network more secure from unsolicited interactions.

Agreed. 🙂👍

Now, I know. Thanks. 😄

I see… 🙂 I’m glad I’m not alone, and I will continue to find the most reliable instance that aligns with me and complements my identity. 🙂

For me, the US is still a democracy with elements of an authoritarian regime. Yes, I believe this can happen in any country, including mine, if the elected party or a wealthy figure decides to amend such authoritarian, manipulative, and exploitative policies.

Awesome! 😎👍

Hey, you look interested in becoming a marketing volunteer for GIMP. While GIMP is not as competitive in marketing as the others, you can help them if you want. 😎

GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) version 3 has been released. But when will Valve release Half-Life version 3? They have already released 1, 2, the episodes, and Alyx. But when will Valve release 3.0? This is not fair because even GIMP has reached version 3.0, but Valve’s Half-Life has not. 😔

If you miss Reddit, it is still available online, accessible via smartphones and web browsers. You can reinstall Reddit. This doesn’t mean you should abandon Lemmy for Reddit or leave Reddit for Lemmy. Both are different platforms, but you can use both, as I do. There are different agreements to sign, and it is harmless for us to use both. I believe it’s more fun and diverse.

I tried to minimize my dependency on Google by signing up for various email services like Petal Mail by Huawei, Proton Mail, and Yandex Mail. I also tried to find smartphones that don’t have Google by default, such as Murena smartphones and Huawei smartphones. But it seems like it’s too late to look for those gems without Google because I have so many apps that I bought on Google, amounting to around five digits in Malaysian Ringgit, which is not cheap. So I think I’ll stay with Google for now, sadly.
