A lot of the internet has been lost to time already so I actually appreciate this place having this kind of permanence.

Last I heard they were being called MAMAA now, meaning Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.

There’s also itch.io if you’re feeling adventurous.

Now that sounds like the perfect replacement for Pokémon Go for me, which means it’s an app I’ll install as a way to motivate me to go walk outside and then feel guilty because I just don’t.

It’s certainly been gaining some momentum lately. Just within the past year I saw this channel coming out of nowhere with some videos about Linux, this famous animator finally getting rid of Windows and Adobe and also this guy talking about it.

Get a room!

It’s a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.

As far as I’m aware, the big “problem” with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It’s an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it’s already enough to push regular people away. It’s kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you’ve already lost them.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

They’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, it’s kind of a tabletop game where one player (the Dungeon Master, or DM) basically creates adventures for the other players. It’s very nerdy but very fun and also takes a lot of time.

Can current Windows even work with 2GB of RAM?

Moby - Porcelain. I don’t even know why but it always destroys me.

The Lemmy devs have no power over instances they do not run themselves.

It seems to me they’re saying Lemmy needs corporate backing to grow? Cause if they were so bothered by the opinions of the Lemmy devs they could simply use Kbin instead.

That moment hits very hard. I knew what the game was about and it still destroyed me.
