YDIFRC (You do, in fact, remember/recall correctly.)

I’ve always considered pretty good to be a positive modifier on good, making it a little better than good. Not much, but better nonetheless. I’ve never really understood why other people consider it to be worse than good.

RSS isn’t specific to Lemmy. It’s a standard that has existed for a long time. It stands for Really Simple Syndication (or also apparently RDF Site Summary). It’s a way for websites, blogs, link aggregators, news sites, anything really that has content that updates, to provide a simple, platform agnostic method for users to subscribe to that changing content.

You would use an RSS reader, or maybe some software that isn’t specifically an RSS reader but supports RSS subscriptions (Outlook is an example of an email client that you can add RSS subscriptions to), then your RSS reader takes care of fetching updates, and you have a perpetually updating feed of your subscribed RSS content in one spot. An RSS feed item usually has a link, some text, and sometimes other content. So you can read a summary, follow the link to read the whole thing, etc.

For Lemmy, you can subscribe via RSS to your Subscription, Local or All feed, with whichever sort you want. But you can also subscribe to specific users’ comments to be notified whenever they make another comment.

For a serious answer, you can upload an Avatar in your settings if you navigate there in your browser. You can also upload a banner, presumably for your profile, but I don’t know, I haven’t tried it.

On the web site, when on the list. There’s an RSS icon to the right of the feed selection controls. Clicking that will give you an RSS feed of your current selection (i.e. Subscribed, Sort By Active)

Ah lol totally missed what you meant.

Oh, I wasn’t the person you were originally responding to. Just someone that came by later and had an answer to what I thought the question was you were asking.

It’s usually recommended to read the Arch news before doing an update because if there are any known issues they will be reported there. However, I’ve been using Arch now for a few years and I’ve never encountered any issues during updates (I know that others have not been so lucky. There was an update that caused grub to break for many that I recall, but I wasn’t affected by it.)

It is a common misconception that rolling release distros are inherently less stable than other distros. My experience has been exactly the opposite. I’ve used, for extended periods, Ubuntu, Manjaro and Arch. Both Manjaro and Arch were far more stable than my experience with Ubuntu. With ubuntu, every time I had to do a full system upgrade it was a crapshoot about whether or not I would be spending the next day or two fixing my system. But with Manjaro and Arch, it’s never a full system upgrade, as long as you are doing updates regularly, they tend to remain small and manageable.

I’ve never had an update brick my system on Arch and have never felt the need to restart from scratch because an update went to shit. But that was an experience I was getting used to on Ubuntu.

Disclaimer, this is just my experience, and your own mileage may vary.
