The real cost of enremovedtification is that they make it impossible for others to run honest business.

Who will pay a subscription for privacy respecting services when there are a dozen free alternatives. True cost of running online business has been completely hidden from users and for so long that they will never accept those that want to cover the costs upfront.

e.g. how many of you remain on Lemmy if instance owners asked for a monthly fee to cover their server costs?

Soon the only lights in the night sky will be our collective space debris.

There is no material loss. It’s not that X.org was swimming in cash before.

Downvotes mean literally nothing here, even more so than Reddit. So I’d say don’t be discouraged. And if nobody ever disagrees with you in life, you are doing something wrong.

File a bug, read FAQ, StackOverflow? If you are messing around with window managers on Linux, a certain level of competency is expected. However, I’m more concerned about the weirdos hanging around in a discord chat of said window manager, harassing strangers. Such a strange hobby.

You mean like “lemurs of lemmy, what’s the sexiest sex you ever sexed”?

What a nothingburger. How do you people navigate day to day life?

Damn. Gotta save this one.

‘home-grown’ like that Miley Cyrus distro.
