Proof the system works right here.
I can understand this perspective: wanting to spread the gospel of federation, etc.
But I’m starting to come around to the realization that the growth mindset is rotten. It’s what leads to these big centralized/unified platforms that concede on their core in order to reach a wider audience.
I can’t blame corpos for conceding away all identity, because engagement is how they make money, but what’s our excuse?
These aren’t refugees. They’re free to make a lemmy or masto or whatever account any time they want. We don’t have a problem with most of the people. It’s the platform, and all the removeding out and proud racists who are on it.
My grandma who owned a diner used to say the same thing, but about cops
Yeah…
Not aware of any of these, which is nice, but iddqd
caught my eye since that’s a Doom reference! Overall I always thought the Doom community was pretty positive (at least going by Doomworld forums, and various Doom streamers, as I remember them). I thought surely it must be some misunderstanding! Oh maybe they didn’t reply quickly enough to take down some drive-by hate speech, but that was it.
Anyway, holy removed, do not go to that lemmy instance. It’s rotten to the core. I’m going to go take a shower and play through Episode 1 to cleanse myself now.
But… why?
Just kidding, I get it. It’s definitely more approachable, and can be more intuitive, for sure. I just loved the whole terminal aesthetic from the first time I saw it, so that’s the hammer I hit every nail with.
I think that’s one of the main differences between users, though we get distracted talking about “productivity” or “control” or what-have-you, when it’s mostly just a matter of taste, deep down.
I’ve been Gentoo curious for a while, but you just put me over the edge. That sounds so trivial, but also cool as removed
I got my first real start on linux on Mint, too! Really fond memories of using it with the Cinnamon DE.
What should they be using, !/usr/bin/env windows
?
At least there’s a point to talking (and complaining) about Linux, because we can actually contribute to its development.
I don’t know, and… I don’t know.
I was making a go of Wayland with Sway wm most recently. I’m back on the ol Xorg with i3 now.
Tiling…GNOME…? 👀
For me it’s the ability to screenshare at work on Wayland.
Oof. Yeah, I once forgot my LastPass password literally less than 30 seconds after entering it on another device. Muscle memory versus active memory kind of thing.
^r tar
and adjust as needed. Got it
It still could
It is as good as it sounds. You just have to put a bit of effort in yourself to follow your interests before it gets really interesting.
Do you follow many people? I used to have that issue when I first signed up and was just looking at my entire fedirated feed. Since paring it down to local or follows only, it’s a lot nicer while retaining some of that cozy vibe that I like.
I’ve been having to watch my social media usage again. Which is bittersweet.
What’s wrong with Discourse? I ran a server during college for a couple of buddies and it was totally owned and operated by us, no corpos or anything. It’s just like phpbb or any other forum software AFAIK.
