well, only if we let it. which we prolly will.

I do like how the Verge is treating this like a real news story and not just "some weird thing on the internet"

Carrion. I've never played a pixel art reverse stealth game where the player is the horrible monster. and I bet you haven't either!

Yeah it's been said he has contempt for the users but i think it's more just utter disconnection. He thinks he owns a website, instead he's got the infrasctructure for a community - one that's angry and can go elsewhere.

But will enough us jump ship? i hope so but am not that optimistic

Same. I hear talk of the larger instances being muted by the smaller ones. I joined the OG instance (mastodon.social) thinking I'd get the most dynamic feed but it certainly doesn't feel that way. When I post it seems like shouting into void, at least compared to Lemmy bubble. Thinking of closing down my mastodon and just spending more time here

Already one of the best things from Canadaland, Commons just gets better and better

I do this exactly. I have a Pop Os installation on its own drive and the original win 10 drive, plus they each have their own secondary storage drives. I switch using the BIOS but honestly I find myself doing that less and less.

I used to have a larger NTFS storage drive both systems could see but it kept getting marked as read-only so I gave up and just got a fourth one for Pop Os.

Sometimes when I boot up Pop Os after having been in Windows it can't see any USB devices until after login or until I plug and unplug them.

So there's some minor annoyances to this setup but at least windows doesn't overwrite the bootloader every couple updates.

I'm very much considering never getting windows 11 (or 12 lol). The only games I have issues with are some AAA multiplayer games - like Borderlands - and even then they run they just don't play nice with other players.

So I know this comment's kinda old but I just got here lol. I'm a stoner/doom guy but I got recommended Slugdge recently and they kicked my ass. Esoteric Malacology really did it for me

I second pop. Nvidia drivers work out of the box. Flatpaks are treated like first class citizens. I hopped around a lot way back (Ubuntu, all its official flavours, mint, debian, elementary, even crunchbang) but landed on pop and haven't moved yet.

yeah, Spotify really thinks you wanna hear the same dozen or songs on a loop. I'd love it if I could "pause" a song and keep it out of rotation for a few weeks. The AI DJ is very occasionally helpful - in between sets of the usual he'll blast you with something out of left field.

I find it's more useful to look at artist playlists on spotify - see what they are inspired by. As long as the band's not too big, then it's more what their label wants to push.

I also use Bandcamp #discover where you can browse by tags - which seems kinda oldschool now. But so far works great for me
