A few large players and the ability to choose smaller instances, and have them speak to each other, is still a huge upgrade over one player (Reddit) who doesn’t let other social media federate with it.

Not as good as the ideal fediverse, but a step in the right direction.

That’s an unfortunate name, though.

Except unlike with Reddit, we can still have the small independent instances. And there will probably be more users on them in the future than there are Lemmy users today.

Idk, this is just a personal experience meme

With things like Heroic Launcher, Proton support on Steam, easy Linux export on Godot… the idea that you can’t play games on Linux is the real “meme”.

oh yeah, I enabled that too. it’s peak(man)

why do people assume I get intimidated by installing an arch package?

Mainly due to senior coworker influence lmao. I’m planning to VM some other KDE distros soon, but Arch is good enough for now, haven’t had much more than minor nuisances.

also, I know pacman -Syu. That’s my second-most-used command (after yt-dlp)

Oh yeah, I added a disclaimer.

The ELIZA effect claims another victim.

you need to run pacman -S sense-of-humor

Eh. I haven’t had issues for a few months and I back up my files on a weekly basis and -Syu once or twice a month. Worst case scenario, I’ll just reinstall and restore from backup.

Also, I mainly use Discover for high level stuff like browsers and IDEs.

Just aliased it to “Computer,” so it feels more like Star Trek

will probably continue typing sudo tho

DJT, best Linux promoter of 2025 :P

Hey, as long as it works…

Now I just need a cron job that randomly decides to run pacman -Syu and shutdown -now

Not to mention people can fork said distro and remove the AI tooling themselves.

Such is the beauty of open source.

Isn’t that exactly why? Everyone is too burned out from living their lives, and the predatory (heh) nature of social media platforms is draining even more energy from them.

We need to support each other and help each other get out of this state, not point fingers at each other.

And when that happens, uniting and bringing them down will be possible.

That said, jail isn’t nearly enough punishment for the Epstein class.

Oh, okay. Got it.

Thanks for the answer!

Got it. Thanks for the answer!
