I’ve tried to stick with mastodon for a while and after using it for months, your description of checking it out is STILL what my feeds look like. That’s all there seems to be on Mastodon.

If all Mastodon wants is linux shit then only linux people are gonna stick around. Never mind that I get the exact same linux posts on bluesky from the same people on top of other topics I care to follow.

Mastodon would be fine if all I cared to follow was Linux news and if I understood German and Japanese.

Same-ish, I am straight, but some family think I might be gay because I didn’t get a girl pregnant as a teenager or something. Thankfully, most of my friends live in a blue state I used to live in, so whatever help that affords to them is there.

That’s exact opposite of my experience with it.

I’m not a fan of people enthusiastically turning the written language into gibberish and hiding behind “it’s enough to be understood.”

I don’t fucking understand you, idiot.

I don’t understand why so many people take the existence of linuxsucks communities so personally, the reddit version has more linux users defending it than actual hate, but that one was more meant as a “legitimate grievances against linux” community as opposed to what the lemmy version seems to be.

Just block and ignore like anything else. Its okay if there are people that don’t like the thing you like.

Something I did that helped make the jump was buying a separate drive to put linux on and removing my windows drive. It makes the act of switching back to windows take more effort, but didn’t remove the possibility altogether.

I also got an enclosure for my M.2 and can use the windows drive as a super fast thumb drive and use that to transfer the files from the windows drive that I care to keep on linux. (none of it is critical, not worth doing proper back ups)

I’m a complete linux noob currently using Bazzite and its treated me well so far. I just web browse and game on this machine though, no professional or special requirements like some have.

I read this in Alec’s voice.

Because no one is on it. I don’t do twitter/facebook-like social media to interact exclusively with random people. I have no family or friends on Mastodon and couldn’t tell you if any “content creators,” for the lack of a better term, that I follow elsewhere are on it to follow.

That was far the from the worst IMO, The 12 Days of Christmas played 3 times in a row by 3 different singers once, I almost quit on the spot.

Off topic, but after I moved halfway across the US, I wondered what that same distance would be driving across Europe.

I moved from the NW corner of Washington state to about the middle of Iowa, roughly 2000 miles or 3200 Km (roughly, I said)

Its looks to be the same as going from Lisbon to roughly halfway in between Berlin and Warsaw, using google maps to follow roadways.

I can’t imagine all of the different cultures you would see traveling most of the way through Europe, and most of what I saw on my trip through the States was empty dead grass fields, farmland, a couple dead deer, and a ton of truckers.

Men, dudes, guys, etc and females is the correct vernacular, I believe.

I ate a dog treat that I’m 90% sure was just a bone shaped nilla wafer.

That’s why hospital food seemed so next level bland, everything smelled like “clean.”

The only real solution is to only refer to the format in its full name.

You’re on the wrong side of history, get over it.

I’ve been strongly advised to eat my steak at least medium well since my organ transplant, I just don’t eat steak rather than eat it overdone.
