dad jokes this early in the morning (in the east part of the world)

i just don't do distrohopping, it's a pointless venture imo. started with arch linux as my main desktop, never went back.

tried some things occasionally, but i already sunk the time learning all sorts of things that may not even exist in other distros, configuring my system and the DE (and other things like zsh and vim setup), so it's just a waste of time honestly.

i'm thinking of using NixOS instead of Debian (what i used previously) for my upcoming server project though.

I want to stop using Reddit, but every Google search I make that's tech-related has an answer on either StackOverflow or Reddit. Even if most people move to Lemmy, Reddit would probably come up once in a while when I'm looking for answers to a problem only a few people would care about.

I personally think Lemmy will have better UI as time goes on. It's already coming slowly altogether as time goes on.

Blink twice if you're in danger

By "not real," you mean it won't happen, but there was still a clear attempt to hold it as a sport.

A press release from the Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbunde, RF) as follows:

It would be an expensive sport anyway, as it would be pretty difficult to market.

Edit: by difficult to market, I mean it as a sport. If it's for pornography then we might have a different case. Regulations would have to be strict, ensuring participants are consensual and fair. You can't have this on the television, you can't record the participants without their permission or you'll have to require them to be recorded (and that means even less participants), and you'll have to commercialise it somehow. It's a gray area and it's a new sport that could generate a lot of buzz initially, but it needs careful execution to even be successful and not be a total loss.

You can make your computer your own. You bought it, you deserve control for it, you do not need a corporation to decide things for you.

The benefits of Linux is that you can simply multitask much better, and do things more efficiently. It's honestly not the same and the two are just not comparable, but not everyone can appreciate or take advantage of that.

For an inexperienced person to set it up, of course it's not that simple. Those that are comfortable with Windows find all of these benefits trivial over the perceived amount of effort to transition.

For an experienced person like me, Windows is much more of a nuisance to set up. I really like my setups clean, I just can't stand how dirty Windows gets. To clean your system effectively, you'd have to reformat it. There are things like Scoop, MSYS, Docker, etc. I had to use Windows on my laptop for school. The way I use Windows is like how I use Linux, except Powershell commands are just non-intuitive. It just feels really awkward over Bash.

Just because some women do doesn't mean you should mirror it, even more so when you are a public figure whose responsibility is to be a role model to others.

It would also benefit well with the fact that it’s open-source. I hope that one day I could also contribute to the project somehow. Hopefully OSS and decentralized social medias become the future. It’s time to stop letting billionaires make money by using our data.

The latter remark was very unnecessary, too.

Well, gaming as a whole is likely just a blip to Nvidia nowadays. It doesn't make them money anymore like it used to, data center is where most of the money flows in. It's just that we'll buy anything Nvidia sells so we're basically guinea pigs for their public beta testing.

Crazy how you described me of the past and I hate it as well.

Voyager and Apollo. It makes sense why the name was suddenly changed.

Still find it crazy when one company decides the internet's fate and seems to act like they own the internet, simply because they have a huge ass market for the browser, search engine & site crawler.

pretty sure the only reason why they didn't go the extra mile to incorporate this to the old reddit is because they (unsurprisingly) want everyone to only browse the new reddit.

Boy Alfie downvoted a man for speaking facts 🗣️

selection process because it wasn't included in the "best linux distros 2023" search result

Wouldn't personally mind myself either, but I don't think it has to be every 6th post, rather than just being placed somewhere that are slightly prominent (like the not-so-used sidebar) but not overly distracting, like how ads used to work. That ad space can change over time, to show other ads if need to be.

Instance owners should have complete freedom on how they can deliver ads...regardless of what instance is used to access it. The frequency and the type of ad is important. The ad should be at least relevant to that instance. The ad should at least be what the owners consider worthy to be endorsed, to be curated.

Oh no...bots are among us. Humanity is doomed.

Thank you so much for the hard work, time and money you spend into making lemmy.world run very smoothly. This much transparency is awesome for something that's being used so massively.
