I think it would be reasonable to defederate from blahaj.zone. A majority of the toxic, negative, and aggressive comments I see on Lemmy seem to come from users of either blahaj or hexbear. The admin very intentionally curates a cult-like community by posting provocative posts and then banning everyone who expresses even slight disagreement. They have engaged in and doubled down on false accusations of CP against the lemmynsfw admins, which demonstrates that they are a risk for other instances be federated with. I normally very strongly oppose dedederation, but I think blahaj is a great example of when it makes sense. This is because the admin seems intent on starting drama rather than working with other instances to resolve conflict. It almost feels like some form of religious extremism lol

I of course block the instance from my account to avoid seeing posts from there, but toxic users are still visible on comments.

It's a frivolous troll lawsuit and this is a clickbait article

In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that he is an inventor of “Tele-Sex or Tele-Mining on Jupiter and other planets of the Solar System,” and appears to assert a claim for copyright infringement and constitutional violations.

In his brief, Plaintiff makes fantastical allegations, stating, for example, that “Defendants are dangerous liars, criminals, traitors and co-conspirators.” Dkt. 18 at 31. He further states that Supreme Court Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett “deserve the death penalty or at least to be disbenched from the U.S. Supreme Court.” Dkt. 18 at 40.

Take a look at this guide, it's what I've been following https://learnjapanese.moe/guide/

Essentially, use Anki to study vocabulary in bulk, and use grammar guides like Tae Kim's. And spend a lot of time reading and listening to real native content

It's worth noting that Duolingo has always been considered.very bad by most of the Japanese learning community.

Find an organization with a long history of successfully bringing meaningful change to society and that has stayed true to its values. In my opinion, the Electronic Frontier Foundation comes to mind.

Or find something local to your community, directly giving to actual families in need near you

The reason I use a swap file is so that I can have only one partition backed by LUKS disk encryption, rather than having to screw around with lvm which comes with its own performance overhead and all. I've personally never had issues hibernating to.it, but given how much buggy uefi firmware is out there I'm not surprised to hear that other have issues

Why?

It's been supported for several years now

Most of the software people are suggesting here is ancient. A lot of it does not support accurip checks or drive offset correction, which I consider to be essential features. Don't use abcde, I made that mistake a few years ago

cyanrip is definitely the way to go, there really is no alternative that has the same feature set. Other than EAC in wine if you require scorable 100% log files.

The problem primarily is when a niche interest becomes exploited for profit by capitalists and no longer maintains the community-oriented culture it once had.

It will lose aspects of it that make it unique and special but they don't appeal to the general public, because ultimately making as much profit as possible means attracting as many customers as possible.

Even RFK Jr is a staunch Israel supporter too, so no escape there

Israel's right to defend itself

This is one of the dumbest dogwhistles in existence. Everyone knows that's not the actual point of contention.
