honestly i don’t know what you did to mess up a windows install like that, but i agree overall that linux is easier. However there are quirks that can arise for a new user that will eat time or seem daunting.

You’re right, I do. I only have 1 app. What’s wrong with me.

What is your most favorite one you’d recommend?

yeah what kind of crap is this.

What a sweet thing to do for a loved one.

for work purposes, ok fine. but personal purposes i’d try and steer clear as much as i can.

My general point is we should use alternatives whenever possible to discourage this kind of centralized power developing in the first place.

it will truly be messed up if essential websites block user access because of this

For sure, I agree and it’s bad. But frankly unsurprising. This is the trajectory of the internet: greater control.

We’ve become too dependent on centralized tech companies and erred in allowing tech companies to change, define, and control the internet in the first place.

Alternatives must be promoted in mass scale.

hey everyone a friendly reminder that alternatives exist, and just drop this shit fast and move to better alternatives. In this case firefox.

why are people indulging this company after all they did?

At this point where he is basically stripping the site of its users (paid + limits) and branding (removing the twitter bird) why didn’t he just start up his own social media site and slow grow it instead of wasting money to pillage the competitor and then strip it of everything that made it what it was, i.e., the user base and the brand recognition?

curious what the result of this case was, quick search didn’t come with any updates.

it feels much more fresh and spacious

i just searched and it looks like there’s already one on an instance

I’m pretty much new to lemmy so i don’t even know how communities are made

surreal memes

cursed

I agree, affinity programs are really good and i’d rather see those on linux

stoics have a concept of preferred indifferents which are things like life, health, a good income/wealth, social status, etc that you’d rather have than their opposites, like death, sickness, poverty, bad reputation, etc. From that not sure one could label stocism as a form of dissociation.

Nature uhh finds a way

basically a casestudy example on how NOT to conduct a study

Gen who now?
