well, no, not really. Just regular web usage and occasional gaming on Steam…

Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.

Also MacOS is popular because its users don’t have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, “it just works” anyone?

It maybe better to not refer new users as newbies. People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS. Why is MacOS successful? Because it is easy to use and is a complete products with few bugs. I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.

I would agree too, and I think you said it better than me. Fediverse’ instances IS its strong point, but also a double-edged sword if not presented well.

Google has a monopoly on search, Youtube has a monopoly on videos and that helps aggregating interesting contents and users towards the product. Social media platforms thrive on user growth. I had Linux as a daily driver also (until it badly messed up my ssd), but customer support and friendliness are definitely limited parts about Linux that scare people away.

Of course I don’t want Threads. I’m just saying the user is being bombarded with information at the first step, which is bad product design.

Having been working around with a Raspberry Pi for my class, I can’t imagine just randomly throwing mine somewhere without giving a care. Those bitches are too damn expensive 😂

Put it in a bank earning 4% interests and live off of it for the rest of my life. Yeah I’m a simple man.

Why do people collect cars when they don’t drive them ever? What about stamps (who use stamps anymore)? Pokemon cards? We keep things that bring us memories and make us happy from time to time. If they have ever made you feel proud or happy, I would say keep them. It definitely worths more than the monetary gain from selling them.

I agree, it should be something unique to make our own brand.

😂 it’s just fun following the drama and how its collapse will unfold, especially with how comically villainous Reddit has been these past weeks. It’s almost a source of entertainment

Yeah :( I just heard of r/place coming back this morning, haven’t been following anymore Reddit news since moving here

Haha 😂 it’s definitely a feat. I guess I posted this a bit late now

Lemsters sounds cool (I just thought of it last night haha)

Wow, your family and your neighbor are such asshole people. I’m glad you are out of there.

Could be smart watches. Don’t quote me on this, but wearing a watch 24/7 that emits light to constantly track your heart rate cannot exactly be good for your health (unless you truly need it)
