I’ve told this story on here before, but here it is again: I used to write for a very Windows-centric computer magazine, and after a couple of years I noticed that most of the content I was writing was about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I thought I’d give Linux a go, and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve had phases when I tried convincing all my friends to make the switch, but I’ve realized that it’s just not for everyone. I don’t think I’m obsessed, I don’t customize my desktop much, I just want my system to work smoothly.

Wait, so Apple is doing something good for 3rd party apps? I did not expect that to happen in my lifetime

When will I be able to use RCS in other messaging apps than Google Messages on Android?

One step at a time…

Is the deer the Libreboot logo? Mine has a rabbit (Coreboot). I flashed Coreboot on my old Chromebook a couple of years ago and it’s been running different flavours of linux since without any fuss.

Congratulations! 🎉

I could totally see myself having a DOOM-themed lock screen!

I believe Dell even has some models that come with Linux preinstalled.

I believe they have a high quality streaming option that some audiophiles prefer.

Spotify/apple/etc don’t produce music and are not trying to out license each other.

Tidal seemed to try going down this road with exclusives but thankfully none of the others followed.

Nah, people aren’t smug about using POP OS it’s more like Ubuntu for gamers.

Yes. Whenever it’s fitting to say “fuck Nvidia!” So likely forever and ever and always.

I don’t want to live anymore.

I know life is tough right now, and it sure sounds like yours is rougher than most. As somebody who’s been struggling a lot, both with finances and healt, lately as well, I can relate somewhat. I know it’s not much of a comfort and kind of a cliche but: when things are as bad as they are now, they can only get better. It sucks waiting while everything sucks, but unfortunately that’s all we can do. Also, look around you. There’s always something to live for, even if it’s just seeing the sunset again or the smell of freshly cut grass. You’re right though, if only money was distributed more evenly and the super rich were taxed fairly, things would be a lot easier for many of us. In the words of the hardcore band Deez Nuts:

“money can not buy you happiness it’s true what they say, but a motherfucker’s still got bills to pay”

Thank you, I didn’t know about piped.video so this was very useful.

Good bot!

You find Tildes image heavy compared to Lemmy? I have the opposite experience. Maybe I’m subscribed to some image heavy communities here?

Yup. That’s me.

Relay still seems to be working.

“CFU of Twitter” does have a nice ring to it

Then Spez could be CFU of Reddit. I kinda miss Ellen Pao. And Chooter.

Edit: A word.
