I havent found an English misskey instance so I havent been able to really try it out. At a glance it seems similar to mastodon

Ive got ideas in my mind but its hard to put them into realistic ideas of a site.

When ive used a project for a while and i have extra cash I usually do a 20$ donation. Ive been low on money last year so I only donated to a few of the projects, listenbrainz and Lemmy.

Ideally I want to donate a small amount yearly to all the projects I use.

Awful, one of the first things I disable along side 1 click folder opening.

Fun and weird ways of using the internet socially. Fediverse has the unique opportunity that you can build anything and automatically reach people. I’d like to see people really push the idea of what a social platform looks and acts like.

Its hard to break into peoples minds with no advertising budget.We can’t tell people on reddit about Lemmy because reddit bans your account.

Lemmy got a ton of traffic after the api black out and it did an incredible Job at retaining a lot of those users. There were 200k active users and Lemmy was much more unstable at the time. Active users did fall off as expected but 50k stayed for 2 years. Thats great in my opinion. If we had another migration wave I reckon the retention would be even higher.

For someone to switch from reddit to Lemmy three things need to happen

1. They need to know it exists

2. They need to dislike reddit or centralised corporate controlled social media on an ideological level.

3. They need something disruptive to happen. Either a ban or a change they dont like.

What’s MintPass? It wasnt clear how to get a token and Im not entering a ph number.

Yea people tend to uncritically repeat things they hear.

Dual booting is fine. Microsoft destroying bootloaders is mostly a meme off a few bugs. Any distro that ships an up to date kernel and drivers is good. Fedora/Ubuntu. Bazzite is kinda weird for gamers because it just makes every problem harder to solve. If you never tinker then its fine but Bazzite feels more restrictive than windows without knowing how it works.

Curiosity and fate. I was perfectly happy on windows but I was listening to the WAN show and they were talking about their 30day linux channel. About 2 weeks before the first ep my windows install completely bricked itself after an update and I couldnt recover the key so I was forced to either pay for windows again or stay on the free version. I ended up installing linux mint and it was an awful experience. Out of the box mint is pretty crap hardware compat wise. I tried a few other distros before settling on Manjaro where everything worked out of the box and from there i started learning linux.

I plan to keep moving distro’s every few years just to see different ways of learning linux. Im currently on Nobara and fedora on my laptop. I think its probably the best linux distro out there(fedora). I’ve tried gentoo but I did not get it working to the same standard as nobara. I do plan to try gentoo again because I liked being able to pick all the stuff on my system and compiling it. I didnt like selecting all the useflags tho.

I really hate windows but I dont find teams to be that bad. Outlook at all the 365 admin tools are far far worse. Luckily we’re moving away towards google and atlassian.

Its not worth switching GPU for this. 3070 should be plenty capable of running witcher3. Ive got a friend running a 3060 and she plays all kinds of games with very few driver issues.

We should troubleshoot your issue first and see if a new GPU is required.

I got a year of ultimate plan for half price and moved everything over. Now im having to move away because its way to expensive for what it is and this is while they’re still fighting for market share.

I’d just delete the file and move on. Get ublock origin for the next time you need to torrent stuff. Its unlikely anyone is burning exploits on random piracy sites. 0 click exploits are like gold.

I follow linux news I like hearing about new features and have them come to my system quickly. I’d hate to have to wait years for anything new. I’m not worried about stability, i run nothing critical and if I have an issue I’ll just fix it.

This is amazing news. Hopefully they’re getting enough donations to cover this.

Breaking 30-40% of your things? Are you sure those are Wayland issues?

Its a fun little project and I like the little character but it doesnt actually do anything at this point.

Majority of linux users are on a monetized OS. Consultancy, extended service, feature implementation, fast support, donations, merch are all common monetisation methods across major linux distros and there is nothing wrong with any of them.

There are very few distros funded solely by the maintainers they are usually hobby projects.

I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I’ve see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time. He doesnt care about any of those things so trying to argue is a waste of time and most of its untrue or misleading.
