I enjoy being able to see and interact with other people in a bunch of different contexts who are like minded without being so similar it becomes an echo chamber.
I do miss all the world building sub’s and projects on reddit, at this point I only keep my account to post in one community. Additionally r/dogelore and r/polandball are great, and it appears those subreddit are branching out to other platforms in response to reddit recent changes.
Interestingly the founder of the project seems to explicitly disagree with that article
Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don’t think they will.
Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I’m learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people’s rooms to consume media.
You must want something if you want to stop being unhappy. What would you change in your life if given the option?
It’s website seems to have had a graphic designer look over it. It seems to do the best of both worlds where you can download the default user friendly client or choose to go down the jargon route if you want to.
Its been great, thanks for being willing to navigate all the federation drama and day to day admin work. Here’s to another year :)
What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux
Seems like it, I switched to my current instance explicitly to avoid dealing with this stuff
Yep, since I mostly pirate obscure games I don’t need to worry about the VPN. Lutris works great for fitgirl-repacks
Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess
Are you running a server which has a “community server” badge on it or using disboard?
Currently there doesn’t seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
Just block them if you care that much (or if you can’t, submit a github issue on the relevant repo and/or switch to something better)
Unlock origin has the block functionality where you can mark sites with a warning before entering, Unfortunately that “one button” part doesn’t exist yet to my knowledge (leechblock might do it but I don’t know)
They seem to be talking about the budgeting app “Mint” as opposed to the Linux OS. Linux Mint isn’t going away any time soon.
Arch is a pain to setup BTW. It’s worth it, though you’d be better using something like the installer for cachyOS to get the same experience
