I don't think it'll really become mainstream because honestly, a lot of people on Reddit and other platforms don't really care about changes to the platforms. It's frustrating but in the end, they're just casual users and it won't affect them that much, and that's ok, we don't need every single person to be an expert, yk. I do like the way the decentralized internet is now.

Also surprisingly haven't come across bigotry yet haha.

Unrelated hot take but the thumbnails don’t seem as egregious as others I’ve seen, but honestly I might’ve just gotten used to them, or I pay more attention to what he’s holding or something.

On another note, I do also hope things get better. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed in Linus’s own response in the video as he still victimized himself, but he said some things that seemed genuine after. Half the stuff about Billet labs I found reasonable but the rest seemed half-baked. Hats off to the rest of his staff and his CEO though—they were very genuine and not shy about taking accountability. I appreciate the CEO taking charge as he’s a much more sane voice than Linus in my opinion, and I appreciate Yvonne standing up.

Agreed, but it's 48 hours later, and it seems like more and more subreddits have decided to continue protesting indefinitely, which I'm really happy to see. I too have no clue how effective it'll be, but it's showing a much clearer message.

Hell yeah (btw)

Smh do you really use a desktop environment like a freaking normie? Oh lemme guess, you don't even use vim. You're not a true Linux user unless you get rid of every single GUI on your machine, terminals work just fine.

This is the kind of thing more appropriate for an UnethicalLifeProTips community lol.

I am haha. Just deleted my Reddit. Looking forward to see this place grow! We'll get the "best SAT prep for my 2-year old child?" type of posts in no time!

Anything GUI-related is just bloat, don't even bother with a tiling window manager, just remove that and your whole desktop and use Arch just in a terminal the way God intended

Have you tried changing your desktop environment?

Windows 10 is a great dish to eat at a bistro, I agree. So delicious!

Y'all I need help there's a scary man that took over my computer screen after I clicked on a Windows link and my speakers broke and started blasting out some cryptic musical beat

Nooooo :(

Oh yeah, 100% with Yvonne and Teren. It’s kinda like Teren’s like “you hired me as CEO, now let me be CEO and back off.”

Agreed, I think the more personal nature of Lemmy kinda helps.

Did that but when they took me to the police station for questioning, all the police officers were forced to use Windows too! I knew I couldn't trust them so I simply did a vim icanttrustthepolice.py, typed import escape_from_police_department as according_to_all_known_laws_of_aviation # gotta avoid suspicion, and now I plan to run this python file to get me out of here. Unfortunately, I need to figure out how to exit Vim...

175 degrees C

Don't bake just the C drive smh, you gotta bake the whole thing. 175's not gonna cut it either, you gotta do it for at least 350 degrees.

See (heh, C) my comment under Axilotl's.

New to Lemmy here, and I'm under the impression that an instance isn't automatically federated with other instances. If I'm not mistaken then, is there any way to request that we connect with another instance?
