Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.

Oxygen not included

The thing with anything these corpos are doing is that it suddenly becomes a cultural trend for the next week or so, and every techbro and marketbro talks about it all the time. I have been trying to distance myself from this bullshit for a while now but it I find it impossible to do so. Even here we constantly talk about these idiots. No matter how much we make jokes out of them, simply coming in contact with the shit these billionaires have in their heads is indeed depressing. These people are the ruling class of the entire humanity and the best they can do for culture is idiotic social media platforms and ads.

Stupidity and greed, a great combination!

Have been using Antennapod on Android for some months now. It is by far the best app I have used. Feature rich and no ads is the best one can hope for.

Also nukes

The main advantage ios has over Android is its lack of support for virtualization (like java). This makes their apps much less resource hungry, faster, and the phone does not slow down as much over time. Given the fact that idiotic apps like Instagram and Facebook need supercomputers to run on Android the difference for the end user is a huge gulf performancewise. It must be a nightmare for developers though.

For people who know what they are doing it is very easy to maintain the software health on android and keep it running fast over time. If you don’t though usage of apps like the ones mentioned above will make it run like a commodore in months.

This is true. Leave the corporate to themselves and preserve the community.

Oh I thought OP talked about avoiding reddit in general. I have already visited it at least 3 times today looking for a solution to my laptop’s inability to connect to the internet :P I haven’t thought of avoiding it to send a message, I guess I will simply turn of the computer. I have already deleted Boost for reddit so I will simply not visit it on my phone…

Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on… As a social media platform it’s as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.

If they somehow manage to block universal access to the vast knowledge reddit has accumulated over the years, especially for technical stuff, it will be a tragedy. I have learned so much on that website…

Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. As a non technical user it works great. I made tge switch from windows at the beginning of 2023 and not looking back. When I distrohop it will probably be Debian but that will require time I currently don’t have.

I applied to 3 instances when I decided to join and lemmy.ml was the only one that responded so there’s that.

Because they are weak and need to submit to someone. Trump is the only one acknowledging their submission so they love him.

It will be different if millions join in and ot gets the attention of some company or the other. The good thing is that the comm can always move to another instance.

Hahahahahaha this is great

As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…
