The fediverse doesn't feel as fresh and free a space as it did when I first joined it. I'm starting to feel a groupthink developing here, just like there is on reddit, tumblr, etc. It's still a fun place to be, but I'm seeing the same ideas & memes on my timeline. Kinda wishing there was an option to toggle off the feed for some days.

In the beginning when I made an account here, I felt this great rush, like, yes! Finally I’ve found a place where I can start from scratch and share/explore/express my authentic self.But lately, I've noticed the more I use the fediverse, the more I think like the fediverse. I mostly parrot other people's opinions on my profile and become influenced by their ideas, which is the same dynamic I had with Twitter, tumblr, & reddit. Idk if this is just me or something intrinsic to social media.

@emsenn @alcinnz I think I've been here since July. Roughly half a year.

Are there any Ubuntu-based distributions that come with vanilla GNOME out of the box?

@bugaevc You're right, I installed :fedora: this morning!Not a fan of some of the icons, but otherwise Fedora is a very convenient distro to use.

@bugaevc that looks so much better than the designs on OMGubuntu!I'll just wait it out till these icons ship. Installing an icon theme ruins the consistency of the OS for me.

@bugaevc I remember you sharing a screenshot of Tootle that followed the GNOME HIG. Is that available for download anywhere?

#ScreenshotSundayBought a $60 Thinkpad X220 yesterday and have been happily using :gnomewhite: on it ever since. Something tells me this is going to remain my daily setup for at least a couple of years.

So I read this for the first time today: https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217661076It makes me wish I didn't recommend Signal to so many of my friends

I really like the design of GNOME Web, but it's hard to keep using it without extension support.So I compromised and made Firefox look like Epiphany with a handy CSS theme.

Are there any good ethical alternatives to Google Scholar?I need to find literature on surveillance capitalism for my local socialist study circle, and it just feels wrong to have to use a Google product for this.

@Are0h most people I know don't even see it as exploitation. They think it's a fair trade.
