I've been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.

I often hear folks in the Linux community discussing their preference for Arch (and Linux in general) because they can install only the packages they want or need - no bloat.

I've come across users with a couple of hundred packages installed (likely fresh installs), but I've also seen others with thousands.

Personally, I'm currently at 1.7k packages on my desktop and 1.3k on my laptop (both running EndeavourOS). There might be a few packages I could remove, but I don't feel like my system is bloated.

I guess it's subjective, but when do you consider a system to be bloated?

I'm asking as a relatively new Linux user - been daily driving for about 7/8 months

I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

1. Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
2. Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

Just after seeing this video on TikTok.

I thought I’d share this Mastodon bot - @SmallTownUSA - here as I’ve found it great fun.

Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org

I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

Currently working a remote job that I hate. Management takes micromanagement to a whole new level. They're based in the US so I get paid in Dollar but I also don't have any legal protection.

I've got a side hustle (videography) that I'm trying to build into my main gig.

My previous experience has been in tech (in various roles). Ranging from customer support/content moderation to management. I also have some more technical experience with automation.

My LinkedIn is up-to-date but I don't seem to be getting past the automated systems and to the interview stage

EDIT: My instance (lemdro.id) is having issues with lemmy.world so I don't always see the updates from lemmy.world straight away. It's generally about a 6 hour delay.

EDIT 2: I’ve created another account on Lemmy.World (@governorkeagan_@lemmy.world) so that I can interact here while my instance fixes the federation issue.

TL;DR: I got a response from Reddit that basically says they’re not violating anything.

There was a post here 3 weeks ago that talked about the GDPR violations Reddit is committing.

reddit is telling it's future investors with recent news and more info on their IPO, that they're currently selling and looking to sell their user's data to companies wanting to train their LLMs, including Google.

I’m not sure of anyone else has gotten a response from them yet so I thought I’d share the email.

The Email:

It’s great seeing more engagement and activity here recently!

It seems like the mod isn’t active anymore and aussie.zone has offered to create a community for us - I think it’d be hilarious having the Irish community there.

More importantly though, I think having an active more (or multiple) is really important.

I’m not a mod (happy to help though) but I’d love to see what others think about the future of our community.

Something like the Brits have: feddit.uk / info

There is also an Irish Mastodon instance but I’m not sure if any of them are here.

Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

• L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
• Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
• Neutrogena (no complaints either)
• SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps
