I used to use Protonmail, however the verification steps become tedious when creating unique emails for sign ups. I’ve switched to Tutanota despite it contravening their one account policy. What do you all use for one off emails (for sign ups etc )? Or do you prefer one of those 10 minute email sites?
mail.tm is pretty nice for this. It's meant to be used as a throwaway email service, but you can also save the login credentials and reuse the email address if you need it more than one time.
It's not perfect, but much better than going to Shitter. Some people apparently find Mastodon obscure or confusing and switched to Bluesky instead. Supposedly it's more friendly towards new users. I just hope that bridgy-fed improves and becomes more common in the future, so we can follow Bluesky accounts from the Fediverse and vice-versa.

I don't know how Lemmy deals with Mastodon links, but they work on here on Kbin/Mbin and should also work when viewing the post on Mastodon/Firefish/Sharkey directly

uBlue Bazzite is pretty cool, Fedora/Nobara, Pop!_OS, Mint, etc. mostly just work, Gauda is arch-based, is optimized for gaming and performance and is pretty user friendly.
You mean Bazzite? Yeah, it's really great. Based on uBlue, which is actually based on Fedora's Atomic spins. It's very stable, secure and reliable, and pretty hard to mess up. Basically the closest thing to SteamOS that you can get.
Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I’m wrong.)
