Anytime airports have me give an email address, I just use testicles@aol.com and/or Hotmail.

With windows 10 EOL on the horizon, I need steam OS to come out for desktop soon. I beg you lord Gaben. 👁️

Open evidence is a legit tool my colleagues and classmates use every day. Open AI is leagues behind them especially in terms of HIPAA compliance.

Many niche communities have not migrated to Lemmy or any other platform. The value isn’t the platform, it’s the people that make the content. Until reddit is truly dead, it will continue rotting itself from the inside out, and that affects all of us who still need to use reddit for the niche.

Network effects are a hell of a drug

Literally the term network effects

It wouldn’t even be a pyrrhic victory. It would just be mutual suffering.

FUCK, I use 8bitdo for Anki bro. It’s a study tool, not just for gaming.

They and their products are as independent as a domesticated dog is. That’s what happens when you accept the money.

I know exactly how to feel.

This fucking moron is INSANE

Big balls himself frfr. Takes courage to resist harassment from debt collectors.

This lacks insight and empathy. It reeks of sympathy.

Modern society is all about convenience. Linux can increase marketshare by being more convenient and digestible. Actually, I am in the process of moving to Debian w/ KDE Plasma as my daily driving computer, but it required extensive research on what my options were. Quite simply, there are WAY too many options all touting features that slightly differ from each other than normal end users struggle to interpret.

Formula is simple. More easy = more better. Make adoption as painless as possible, people MIGHT trickle in.

It’s like pressing the VCR 3x fast forward button to extinction.

Let me clarify. I am loyal to Lemmy because they demonstrate a few important things to me. Openness, transparency, and community ownership. I have never used any piece of social media, content aggregation, whatever else, that has given me such confidence and transparency. Lemmy (as a project, not a single instance) has earned my trust because they have actually shown accountability and been open to communication.

Started out with a raspberry pi several years ago. Got my feet wet with entry level, beginner friendly NAS prebuilds. Hunted for recycled computer parts. Now searching for and actively acquiring enterprise gear that is making a massive dent in my wallet.

Definitely was. It was just a flex of their power. I don’t see any viable solution at the moment though, so going nuclear was the only sane option. When your options are to close a door versus playing an increasingly difficult game of cat and mouse w/ CP posters, most would opt to temporarily shutter their doors I feel.

What is worrying is that any community on lemmy on any instance is vulnerable to this type of attack. This will continue happening again and again until a clear solution, technical or otherwise, can be devised.

I gave my loyalty to Lemmy. I am not going to jump shit because some deranged lunatics decide to troll in the most abhorrent ways. I plan on donating to the project in show of support and I hope others do as well.

I can feel myself rising out of the tang as we speak.
