I hope they are okay and shutting the site down helps.

Ppf. It’s digital currency. It’s not a scam.

You sound like an 80-year old who refuses to use debit cards because they aren’t cash.

Nah, things seem okay. I’ve noticed more politics misinformation since it’s an election year.

I don’t mind them any more than I mind a bunch of other dumb posts that people feel compelled to share for reasons I don’t understand.

And a lot of them do seem earnest, like they’re showing off a macaroni picture they’re super proud of.

If my adult roommate came home and showed me a macaroni picture they’re super proud of, I probably wouldn’t be personally impressed, but I would be happy for them that they’ve found something they like and are proud of.

You can get stuff deleted by mods that don’t tell you about it, but I don’t know about actual shadow banning

Yes, it’s just way more fun and so much faster. So much crazy faster

A life expectancy almost as high as China and we only had to spend 13 times the amount of money.

Hahaha oh cognitive bias, you always know just what to make me say

Yeah, that’s great news overall.

Complaining about the dip in active lemmy users is like complaining about the dip in Bitcoin.

“It’s not at its all time high!”

Although it is WAY higher now than it was before its breakout phase.

Yes it’s insane. I actually dual boot, and anytime the windows partition needs to update, i cannot roll my eyes hard enough.

Using Apple/Windows feels like using frustrating, old tech when Linux is right there as an alternative.

Or like using a locked phone with unremovable bloatware instead of a rooted phone.

Start/update your computer in seconds.

Oh, I didn’t even think about like aggregate launchers, that’s a good point. I guess if you use a launcher then everything is still plug and play. Nice.

It’s just so much faster. I can do everything I can in windows(except plug n play gaming) but for free and it’s all faster, and every situation you’ll encounter as a noob has been meticulously detailed in some forum by an expert for another noob who ran into your problem years ago.

And at this point, you can choose any popular flavor of Ubuntu, install it in twenty minutes or less, and the gui is so intuitive you don’t have to even use the terminal if you don’t want to(although it does make you feel like a cool hacker). Just enjoy the secure, free, incredibly fast OS.

Go on YouTube, search for how to install whichever Ubuntu flavor looks cool to you and you’ll be set.

Makes more sense than you admiring, parroting, and complimenting me.

Attagirl.

Polly, I appreciate that you think I’m adorable.

Keep squawking

Attagirl

Keep squawking, Polly

You’ve always been easy, Polly.

Glad you manage to insult yourself every message. It makes this so much easier.
