Windows 10 was actually ok when you got past some of the awful stuff. Nowhere as good as 7, but it did the job for me for years.

Windows 11 got announced though and I immediately switched to Linux lol.

I used to be pretty into machine learning and AI generation circa 2018-ish. It used to be fun and surreal. Sites like artbreeder were a great novelty, and also a pretty good learning tool. Now that it’s “good” I feel that not only has a lot of the charm been lost, it’s become much easier for malicious actors to use it.

Btrfs my beloved. Things stop working? Just load a snapshot lol.

I forgot other fediverse platforms interact with this place. So upvotes translate to likes on mastodon and other platforms? I still feel like this should be anonymized, but I also get how that could be exploited since likes aren’t auditable in that case.

I was unaware of that. I thought it was only accessible to instance admins, and I think that’s how it should be.

Have you SEEN the drama that happens in this place? I feel like this is just asking for weird nobodies to harass anyone who quietly disagrees with them.

If this passes then I’m outta here.

So far I’ve been able to run everything I need to off of it, and libreoffice works very well with office docs in my experience.

Parasaurolophus. I just think they’re kinda neat and kinda cute.

Aside from that, pretty much any raptor. (I am not a paleontologist, I mostly just mean anything with feathers)

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

I don’t know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it’s a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.

I don’t know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.

It’s the number of instances that have blocked them.

Accounts can’t defederate afaik. There’s a way to block instances on some apps, but it’s client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.

Really basic summary

Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

Technically linux users need third party tools to even boot into a usable OS.

I have never really seen arch or gentoo unironically pitched to new users. However, I have seen new users try to use arch because they didn’t get the joke.

Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn’t save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.

Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.
