I think the point of Twitter is to follow famous people. Since there are very few famous people on Mastodon it makes it less useful. They need celebrities and media platforms to make the switch. That's not really a problem for a link aggregator like Lemmy. I think this site has a bright future.

I used to to think the android mobile app was slow. It's gotten allot better though. Now that it supports uBlock I think it's the best browser for Android.

I'm progressive on economic policy, and libertarian on social values. I support things like universal healthcare and ubi. I also support decriminalizing all drugs and legal prostitution.

That's probably because everyone who left came here.

Mostly I used Twitter to follow specific journalists and a few famous people. Mostly sports stuff. There isn't much sports media on Mastodon unfortunately.

I'm glad Linux gaming is getting better so I can make the switch if I have too. That being said I find Windows copilot intriguing. An AI assistant built into the operating system could be very useful. It's good to have options.

I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don't think I could quit google altogether.

I use it on mobile just for uBlock. As far as I know it's the only mobile browser that supports extensions. If you use their nightly version it can use any extension that you can get on desktop. The base version only supports a few extension, but uBlock is one of them.

It's not like there isn't precedent for it. Andrew Jackson did it. FDR threatened to do it, but the Supreme court caved to his demands to avoid it. There's no way we're going to let these judges decide our fate for the next 50 years. Eventually we'll get someone with the balls to stack the court. I'd also support term limits, but that would be allot harder to pass as it would require a constitutional amendment.

Just get the test strips, they're not expensive.

I like Fedora because it works with my Brother printer, lol. Only two distros that can connect to it are Fedora and Ubuntu. Ubuntu had too much bloat for me.

I'd go to all the pawn shops and clean them out. Lots of gold and silver I could resell.

I've been using Bitwarden for years with no complaints, but I do use protons other services. Maybe I'll check it out.

Personally I use both. I have Sonar set to pull from Usenet first, then a private tracker, then a few public trackers. I just like Usenet because it works really good with all my wife's reality TV shows. I always had trouble getting them with torrents.

I'm using it. I like it better than connect which is the only other one on the play store right now. There are more but you have to install them off github. I'll just wait till they make it to play store to try those out.

Never heard of rdtclient, seems like that would be cheaper than Usenet. Might have to give it a try.

When was the last time you used it? A few years back it was terrible, but it's gotten much better.

I like it here! That being said there are a few subreddits I'd miss if I quit reddit completely. I'll probably use both for a while.

Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they're less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let's say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You'll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.
