I feel like with lemmy and how differently the instances are from eachother, it’s probably better to look around an instance and decide if it’s right for you before you join. I feel a lot of people go into any then get shocked when they inevitably break a rule and get banned.

the great migration to another investor-backed patiently waiting disaster. enjoy it while it’s good. if only they used activitypub. Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person, it will never take off. bluesky streamlines everything into being simple and understandable to the average user. I laugh when I see people circle jerking about being better than twitter when in reality it was started by the same people and all it takes is someone with too much money and it’ll be another fall-off story.

edit: I say this as someone who uses it, beats using shitter in it’s festering decaying state.

finally going back and playing dark souls remastered as someone who has only played demon’s souls. so far it feels very familiar yet different. definitely has that from software jankyness.

just woke up from a nap right now because I did this

I’m really good at surviving with a very small amount of money. For a while I also would steal food from wherever I could get it, I thankfully don’t have to do that anymore but the skills are there.

Warzone player here, I actually had to switch back to windows after like 3 years on mint because of this sadly.

meanwhile apex legends just stopped supporting Linux :|

me and my friends returned to cod after 9 years with this game. we tried MW3 but lost faith as it was a crashing, janky piece of rubbish. but this one man, there is something special again for the first time in so long…

usually Hawaiian sweetbread

I put ketchup on bread and microwave it

I just don’t use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

yep, I woke up at 7pm last night, was pitch black. didn’t fall asleep for the night until 3am :/

more like 5th circus

I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren’t for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don’t want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn’t know we exist. I’m sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.

I just never did it, why even replace it. just remove it entirely.

lemmyworld in many ways is still just reddit. don’t get me wrong, I’ve talked to plenty of cool people on there before. but it is the biggest instance that ballooned after the API controversy and a lot of them seem to have just brought Reddit to the fediverse with them. I have no issues with any mods there, I’ve not really seen them at all. they did defed a community from my instance though so that’s pretty lame of them.

I’ve tried many but waterfox has been my home since earlier this year. it comes configured out of the box with about the privacy settings I’d normally use, as well as my preferred userchrome built in.

Another day, another disappointment from Reddit. I deleted my account the day you made your instance and thankfully things over here picked up pretty fast. I haven’t felt a need to go back.

Kicked me out after high school. I ended up homeless for months. That was years ago, but the psychological damage never goes away. To this day I don’t spend money on furniture because I’m too scared I’ll lose everything again somehow. Even my computers have to be laptops forever now because I feel like if I get a desktop I’ll be fucked into losing it if I end up homeless again.
