As somehow who lost a close one to cancer, quit now and not later. The more you wait, the greater the chances you’ll get cancer. Don’t wait and regret it.

I’m curious, why are you sick of Manjaro? I’ve been use it for 2 years and it’s been smooth sailing. Genuinely just curious.

Firstly, it’s a bit suspicious that your name is only a few minutes old. Secondly, I hope you live in a society that understands innocent before proven guilty, because all you’re doing is insinuating to damage someone’s reputation.

You haven’t proven anything, that last name coincidence is nothing. These are different last names. You’re damaging an individual’s reputation without any substantial evidence.

But what exactly is it for? To have superficial conversations about how tasty their food was? Then it won’t work. All meaningful conversation is inherently political. We just need a good platform where parties can talk to each other with respect.

This meme is sad. We are at a state where software truly are not yours.

This is what they alleged:

Twitter claims in the cease-and-desist that Meta has poached dozens of former employees in the past year, some of whom “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information” and “many” of whom have “improperly” kept Twitter documents or electronic devices.

“With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat “Threads” app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta’s competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter,” the letter reads.

This is good news! I still have have iPhone 8 plus so the iPhone 15 might be my next phone.

Yeeesss! Teams right now takes 1.2 GB ram and is extremely slow on my work computer.

Wow. Welcome fellow old ex-Redditor. You will like it here. You’ll see that it feels like like the Reddit of old.

I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.

We’re now in the era of Enshittification:

1. Initial Stage: When a platform starts, it needs users, so it makes itself valuable to users. It provides services that are beneficial to the users, attracting them to the platform.

2. Second Stage: Once the platform has a substantial user base, it starts to abuse its users to make things better for its business customers. It starts prioritizing its business needs over the needs of the users.

   3. Final Stage: Finally, the platform starts to abuse its business customers to claw back all the value for itself. It starts taking a larger share of the value that passes between the users and the business customers.

If I remember correctly, Reddit’s app was first on the IOS App Store before the whole API debacle. So we can assume that a significant percentage of users are using the official app and being brainwashed by Reddit’s ads to keep the shareholders happy.

They wanted to bring the rest of users into the fold. It’s good to see that so many didn’t and came here instead.

When Lemmin.world upgrades to 0.18.1, it will fix the problem.

I remember Reddit in its early days (it was founded in 2005). The conversations were intelligent and I participated in a lot of them. When they introduced karma, I noticed that people were using it as a badge of honor. People started posting shitty one-liners to get upvotes, but those posts had no meaning.

So I started posting less and less. Lemmy/Kbin reminds me of the early days of Reddit, and I hope it stays that way.

I really hope that Lemmy will never have it. Karma destroyed Reddit.

Lemmy/Kbin are the way. Freedom vs a capitalist platform that wants to satisfy its shareholders.

Perhaps. Or they are biding their time until the blackout then will actively be looking for an alternative.

sigh, it’s hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a “Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting” position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it’s machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.

We’re talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit’s whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.

"Sigh*. I’ve been using Manjaro for two years now and I haven’t had problems. Everything always worked smoothly.
