On Lemmy it is more like 40 something year old neckbeards that haven’t seen the light of day in 2 decades. They claim to struggle to make friends at parties but could easily run a country.

They are a lifestyle brand and play on that to keep people trapped. People who buy Apple like the aesthetic of appearing wealthy. It’s classism through consumerism, even if the consumers don’t realise it.
Apple’s terrible privacy policy (yes, despite the word privacy appearing in the ads), atrocious right to repair stance, and aggressive software lock-in tactics should put any person who cares about those things off.
There was a purpose to buying Apple when they were the only player in the specific niche. Audio engineering is a great example of this. In the 90’s, Apple were really the only valid choice in a highly specialist field. Microsoft caught up in the 2000s, with Linux not too far behind in the 2010’s.
So nowadays, the limitations are effectively self-imposed. You can spend whatever money you want on a setup that will do whatever you need and the OS is a personal preference.
Honestly, it’s as if they don’t really want you using it. It’s a legitimate feature but hidden away and quite difficult to use. Here’s a guide on getting it set up. I’ve been using it since it came out and haven’t had too many issues, but a lot of addons just don’t work as intended.
You can also use the Nightly app and load addon collections. It’s an absolute pain in the arse, and a lot of extensions don’t work, but it’s one way to get them.
Genuinely, what motivation does any professional content creator have for using peertube? It’s just crypto shit and conspiracy theorists and doesn’t pay content creators
The UK and… in fact, no. I’m glad it’s not us this time. Lets roast France some more.
This is how you end up with no browsers except Opera and Edge.
I’m just glad it isn’t the UK proposing something this dumb. We’re doing enough stupid shit as it is.
Disclaimer, I’m not French. But it seemed like the alternative was Le Pen and from what I’ve read she would certainly be more of a shitstain fascist, just with a populist tinge.
Okay, this is a nice sentiment but the money is long gone. It was spent when the equipment was made. It will either be scrapped or left to rust in a hangar.
This is a bit of a cynical take. $345m is not that much to the US government. It’s not going to deprive anyone in the US. Plus, what are homeless people going to do with military equipment?
If it was $345bn I’d agree but this is barely even going to register on the accounting spreadsheet.
Exactly, they can coexist, so I’m not sure why people are so against having both. Content discovery is likely to be be the biggest barrier for entry for new social media platforms, because if you don’t have a reason to stay, why would you? It’s pretty much the primary obstacle to getting people away from Reddit or Twitter and onto an alternative.
Large open source projects like Signal don’t really rely on individual donations, but instead survive off wealthy supporters or sponsors.
Yes, this would be a great move. I won’t hold my breath but it’d be a nice surprise.
It’s been years since I ever played CoD but my experience was that it is basically a racial abuse simulator with an FPS in it.
Nowhere near as bad, but I was shocked how intensely elitist and gatekeeperish Hollow Knight’s community can be. I’d already finished the game when I found the sub on Reddit but damn they are mean to beginners!
Don’t even waste your breath convincing idiots like that. They are too uninformed on too many topics to be worth investing the effort in. You’ve got a good shot at convincing people who are on the fence but culture warriors who rely on Steven Crowder for their talking points aren’t going to be convinced by anyone or anything.
Well firstly, why do you care about being banned if you’re leaving Reddit?
Come to terms with Reddit not dying overnight. Lemmy isn’t going to vanish if people don’t move over straight away. Reddit will eventually succumb to the 1000s of tiny self-inflicted cuts. Post content that isn’t on Reddit and people will have a motivation to stay here.
Numbers like that are hard to comprehend. Try picturing yourself in a statium like this. Now picture all of those people dying.
No, I got rid of my discord so don’t have any. But you’d have to find new links anyway. The invites all expire after a while. Another reason why discord sucks.
I think I get the point you’re making but climate change will fuck over the same people who end up getting fucked over by war.
As is often the case, the wealthiest can deal with the side effects of climate change. The ones who will be most affected by famines and natural disasters are the poorest, most marginalised, most deprived.
I suspect it’ll make conflict more likely, not less.
