Afaik lemmy doesn't associate your account with your ip address. The webserver itself has ip log, but only associates it with user agent and url visited so correlating it with a particular user may not be trivial, or even possible in a busy server. Also, instance owners are usually pretty keen on reducing operational cost and probably probably won't retain those log files for too long, or even not retaining them at all.

Its success has been attributed to superior marketing and understanding consumer needs, such as making dual SIM card phones and camera phones better calibrated for darker skin tones

Wait, does camera apps still have problem with darker skin tones?

I feel your pain. Just the other day the disk on my home assistant machine died after a power outage and I had to replace it with another disk and restore from backup.

Those scary fbi warnings are probably not so scary in Indonesia so there is no reverse psychology on men there.

You can tell how passionate a company is with their products by their Linux support. That means no one there cares enough to push hard for Linux support. Even Dropbox has a Linux client.

In addition to getting acquired by a shady group, Mark Karpeles also works at PIA. I'm all for edemption arc, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with him in charge of some security product. I dropped them for mullvad.

You should be able to install multiple desktop environments and select which one to use on the login screen. It's pretty straightforward and there are many tutorial on how to do that such as this one: https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-kde-plasma-on-linux-mint/

Don't be afraid to distro hop. If Mint doesn't feel right for you, then try another distro. Also try different desktop environments if you can. Mint uses Cinnamon, but there are also kde plasma, gnome, xfce and many others to try. Who knows, maybe you like one of them more.

The first iPhone was slick but sucked as a smartphone. Heck, it couldn't even send MMS, copy-paste, gps and the camera can't even record a video! People looking to replace their Symbian or Windows Mobile smartphones would of course be disappointed by the lack of apps and customizations.
