On Eternity for Lemmy, its super easy.

After the election. I decided I just needed to take a break from the constant stream of negativity. Using these keywords in my post filter has removed political posts almost completely:

Trump, Kamala, Vance, Walz, Biden, Harris, Donald, Republican, Republicans, Democrat, Democrats, GOP, DNC, MAGA, liberal, conservative, government, court, Military, NATO, Nazi, Election, genocide, fascist, fascism, Twitter, trans, gender, police, cop, cops, abortion, federal, Europe, U.S., American, China, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Russia, Russian, Chinese, Ukraine, Cruz, Thomas,

I recognize my privilege of being able to ignore these posts temporarily, and hope to come back from my hiatus with the will to do something about our awful political situation.

Carl Richell (System76 CEO) mentioned at the Ubuntu Summit that they’re expecting a Beta in January or February.

It helped me tremendously in college, and I still use it today, both for past knowledge retention, as well as learning some new things. It is an incredible tool.

As far as the learning curve goes, I would recommend this: just use it as is. You can dive down a rabbit hole of optimizing your learning approach and adding the right extensions, but that time is better spent just studying what you want to learn.

Use the Cloze format, keep cards limited to a couple sentences at most, and practice daily for a couple minutes, and you can’t go wrong.

I have been so anxious to get the full release, but I am really happy that this is Carl’s outlook. As much as I wish it was done already, I have to realize its a small group of developers, and I’d rather it be released when ready, as opposed to rushed out the door to fit a timeline.

I have the Framework 13 and am currently running the COSMIC alpha on Pop!_OS. I love my current setup, but have tried Fedora Kinoite as well, and also had a great experience. Apart from running a few commands to get the fingerprint reader working, I haven’t really had to troubleshoot anything. Its been a solid experience from Day 1.

This is a far faster turnaround than I was expecting. Hopefully a Beta isn’t too far behind!

I know, I just bought a Nebula case from them. I would gladly give some money for one of those shirts.
