They now have an official lemmy instance at https://50501.chat/.
At least here we have Fediseer to vet instances, and the ability to vet each sign-ups.
I think eventually when we're more targeted, we'll have to circle the wagons so to speak, and only limit communications to more carefully moderated instances that root out the bots.
They certainly did in Florida, where the democrats pretty much completely pulled funding, thinking it was a lost cause.
Solid post from Drew, agree with everything there.
He mentions doing your best to join in your local communities with like minded folk. Here's a good guide on how and where those folk might be to join up with.
And if you follow his advice to unionize, I highly recommend the IWW. They'll help you form a grassroots union that's directly controlled by you and your coworkers. And they'll help you no matter what kind of job you have! Beefing it up is one of the best things we can do to resist.
3.0 doesn't really change the interface. But there's a good third party overhaul called PhotoGIMP that changes it quite a bit and makes it pretty nice to use.
There's also a plugin called Resynthesizer that adds in the ability to do content aware fill, and the G'mic plugin, which adds hundreds of interesting effects and tools (works with many applications, such as GIMP, Krita, AffinityPhoto, Paint.net, etc)

Wadjet Eye games help fill the void :(
I'll grant you that language is potentially a dogwhistle, but on their blog, they post about Earth day and Sustainability, which is currently vilified by MAGA.
If I had to guess, their marketing team is trying to play both sides.
Without more clear evidence of their politics, I'll probably continue to recommend them if they get people to stick with saving water, as ultimately that's the opposite of what Trump's policies are trying to do.
As someone who dislikes traditional low flow heads that tend to icepick you with little streams, I highly recommend high sierra showerheads. I don't know how they pull it off, but it absolutely blasts you with water while still being low flow. Like I prefer it to any other shower head I've tried, low flow or not.
They make one with an adjustable valve that let's you dial in the perfect amount of flow too.
There's also Liberapay, based in France, which takes no cut of a subscription (they rely on donations).
Steam workshop mods work across all OS's, AFAIK.
Outside of that, I believe you can run the Windows Nexus Mod Manager in WINE. Otherwise, your best bet is this new Linux native mod organizer, which will add more game compatibility as time goes on.
