dissonant

SOLVED: So the boot order was correct in UEFI, but for some reason CSM was disabled. Re-enabling that now causes GRUB to appear, and the PC boots into Linux without any other input. Thanks everyone!

https://darknetone.com/a-complete-guide-to-pgp-and-kleopatra/ is a good resource to get started! You don't have to use kleopatra, but it's a good place to start.

I'll look into these, thanks!

I don't think I am, there shouldn't be any temp ones. There are two options in bios, Windows bootloader and Linux Mint (listed as ubuntu). Win10 is on the top of the stack. I rearrange them to put linux on top, but when I hit save and exit it tells me no changes have been made. The Asus manual was not helpful, so it's possible I'm missing something, just can't figure out what.

Not 100%, but I'm not a BIOS/GRUB expert. When I restart my computer my options are currently either do nothing and let it automatically boot to Win10, or go to BIOS and manually select Linux. Manually selecting Linux takes me to the GRUB screen, which doesn't appear at all when the computer boots to Win10. Does that information help?

Is there yet a way to fully migrate a lemmy account like a Mastodon one? Otherwise, "just move instances" isn't great advice, it's still having to start over. We need that ability imo or we're losing a major benefit of being federated.

I agree that the fediverse isn't currently super privacy-friendly, although I think there's also an inherent limitation to privacy on a social network since it's all about sharing things. I view privacy as having the control over WHAT I share, with WHOM I share it with, and WHEN, and I get that moreso with the fediverse IMO. I choose what information I share, what I follow, etc. The major difference to me is that Lemmy isn't tracking me elsewhere around the web like Facebook, Google, Pinterest, etc do. The big sites also save our posts and messages even when they claim not to, because things that are deleted are very rarely ever truly deleted.

I would appreciate the ability to send no-knowledge encrypted DMs here on Lemmy. But using PGP is not difficult, will guarantee only the recipient can read the message, and is a skill that everyone who uses the internet should be able to do anyways.

The ability to create multis could solve that. I could make a local Edinburgh multi, sub to both of the communities, and view them together in one feed for example.

I get it though. Lots aren't losing Reddit, they're losing the communities they found on there. It can be hard to give that up, almost feels like moving away did as a kid.

Reddit is also almost 20 years old. Lemmy's like what, maybe two? Reddit wasn't super great in 2006 either.

Just tri-tip roast, a grill, and a meat thermometer! I love using Soy Vey Veri Veri Teriyaki as a marinade, 10/10 recommend

Then you can move to another instance or host your own. They can't buy them all up.
