Especially not Linux users. This isn’t grandma with windows 95, or Uncle with his iPhone, Linux users are almost guaranteed to have in the past tried other distros.
They will again. Begrudgingly, but they won’t look back either.

We can only do what we can do.
I think of the 90-9-1 rule. If 10% of users leave or spend less time, there’s less content. Less content means the 90% will go elsewhere.
With something as big as Reddit it was never going to be easy, it was never going to be quick. But this will hurt them.
Don’t think about it as a war lost, think of it as a battle lost, but serious damage done.
Also don’t go back, that’s exactly what they’re betting on.
If 99% of what you do is in front of a computer and the other 1% is in meetings there’s no reason there shouldn’t be remote work.
I moved fully remote a year ago for several reasons, and as much as I miss the office camaraderie, my wallet, belt line and mental health all appreciate it a lot.
No way. Can anyone else confirm of their old user data is back? This is a huge low by Reddit
Anyone that says we’re “past” the days of forums, Reddit, Lemmy, etc. has an incredibly myopic view of what those really constitute.
It’s been mentioned the communities, but the problem solving and wealth of knowledge of those small, hyper-focused communities are unmatched.
Look no further than trying to find fixes through a web search, 90% of the crap you have to wade through is blogspam, which is mostly robot copy/pasted from other blogspam. The really helpful stuff is old forums and Reddit.
You can’t replace those specific questions and that specific knowledge with microblogs, blogs, or long form stuff like medium.
I feel like Reddit has been teetering for a while.
It’s been a great move. I have been back to Reddit a couple times since and the anger is striking after being here for a bit.
Definitely. A lot of Reddit mods, or the “landed gentry”, are mods because they likely made the sun because they had a niche interest they were carving out a forum for.
In the same groups a found a lot of the mods were people who participated in the community a lot. And then the others that participated were the first to get added to the mod list.
Most of the time on most of the subreddits that aren’t defaults and don’t regularly hit the front page the mods are just users who love that particular subject, idea, whatever.
I started intermittent fasting at home and it helped a lot. For me IF cuts down on a lot of snacking just from the nature of usually being more full between those hours and being strict outside of them.
At the office we used to go for lunch all the time and the two restaurants in walking distance are a pub and an Italian place. If there were a more healthy option maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
Yup. That’s a native Reddit feature so it is part of the implementation of a lot of apps. In wefwef’s case I’m not sure how they developed it because I don’t think that’sa native feature of Lemmy
That’s been worked on according to the GitHub issues and is going to be added to wefwef even though it’s not a native Lemmy function.
Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.
Don’t knock it until you try it.
Lutris does pretty much all the main game stores. GOG, Steam, Uplay, EAOrigin, Epic. IIRC they also have custom wine scripts to install with recommended settings so you almost always have the best config out of the box.
There’s also Heroic, which only does GOG and Epic, but is a bit cleaner and easier to use.
The telemetry goes way beyond the TPM module. W11 will data harvest whether you have it on or not
Because the controversy is drumming up news. He’s the face of that and it’s all for the IPO.
No publicity is bad publicity and all that, but he’s also getting ahead of all the other news so that anyone possible investors might be interested.
None of this is for us anymore. Not us the former users, the current users or us “regular people”. He and his handlers are trying to drum up publicity for big money.
I set up wireguard vpn and took down all my reverse proxies as it feels more secure and is easier to maintain.
From what I’ve heard tailscale is a step easier as well. So you could vpn into your network rather than accessing the services via URL.
Makes me think DRM and TPM functions as well in that case too.
You could try distrosea before committing to an install.
It gives you a VM online to play around in for almost any distro you can think of.
Don’t forget that desktop environment (DE) and distro are decoupled in Linux, so if you didn’t like the feel of Ubuntu (GNOME DE) you can go with Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE). Both are on DistroSea.
I didn’t own it, but my dad’s friend had it on a computer in the back of his shop. I spent hours back there when he was visiting his friend.
I used to work consumer help desk and 90% of the actual virus problems people brought in their machines for were from Facebook ads.
The site is riddled.
This is a feature people have been asking for since the beginning and is only being talked about or introduced because it’s politically convenient for the admins.
I really hope this backfires and is only a means to an end of the users replacing scabs until the site grinds to a halt.
