I’m a teenage FOSS enthusiast and I’m of the opinion that there are a lot more of us here than you seem to all think.

it won't be mandatory, unfortunately. Would've loved to see another fediverse mass migration

Good work on the transcription, it must've taken a while to do.

Sounds like Microsoft's embrace, extend, and extinguish

Worth mentioning that firefish is a fork of misskey

High number of people concerned about privacy?? There's, like, 5 of us unfortunately.

Reddit is such a great source of information though-- especially when I'm looking for user feedback, instructions, or human opinions. It's a shame that many posts are going to get deleted in the following weeks (especially in the tech sphere since most people quitting Reddit are going to be techies)

This. Many people feel good about themselves for using lemmy, but not using big tech software doesn’t mean you’re doing better than before.

Social media remains social media and still is a huge time waster and a detriment to your attention span

Though I try to be more lenient on this view because not long ago I was reminded of the benefits of moderate social media use.

I switch distro once I start feeling that my current installation is too bloated and requires a heavy cleaning

Which is why I switched to nixos, so that I can’t bloat my system up with packages I eventually forget about

Is there such a thing as talent that isn’t a byproduct of a high IQ and personal interest

df tube (distraction-free youtube): toggleable options that allow hiding the recommendation feed and featured videos on the homepage, so as to reduce distractions.

To those who allow their free time to be consumed by youtube because they consider it to be a good investment of their time since they're learning new things, please try this. You might realize that Youtube really just is a poisonous social media amongst all the others and that you really don't need the suggestions.

Purely to contribute to the internet archive. There’s the “save page now” button that’ll save the webpage to your account, but the automatic downloader that I refer to in the post doesn’t do that and is purely for the sake of expanding the archive.

Profile pictures on user profiles are still stretched, and now the upvote arrows doesn't turn blue until you refresh the page when you press it

Other than that, this is a fantastic design update

Regardless of whether he was being more truthful or was only under the influence, he was broken and trying to make himself feel better by degrading Sara. He was influenced by emotions.

I needed to be reminded of this, thanks.

Still, Reddit is probably the biggest and most accessible source of information in the world, written out of passion by people, experts, professors, neckbeards... trolls... uni students, researchers,

and I wish Lemmy could also become the archive that Reddit is, but if information has a high likelihood to get lost with time, why bother? It should then really only be treated as a very temporary social media which is... okay, I guess.

Why didn’t torrenting become the go-to file transfer method and a must-have for every computer?

I used arch for 1.5 years and it did break a lot. Though I did use nvidia, so it was to be expected.

Switched to Nixos yesterday because it was kind of anxiety-inducing knowing my main computer was sitting on a time bomb that only got worse as time went on, as I toyed with the system more and more

Absolutely loved arch though, and I hope I’ll love nix as well

Sure technology may be convenient, but it doesn’t conversely improve learning.

This is where the tiny teensy QOL, bug fixes, and performance improvements come in. Over time, they made enough of a difference that they became qualitative and made this Reddit user fall for KDE.
