I mean, I'd be stoked for this if the major ISPs didn't just pocket the money and play dumb the last time this happened.

Tbh I wouldn't be against a name change. But keeping it the same definitely helps for discoverability during this transition period when we have a ton of people coming from Reddit.

Maybe in the future it'd be worth another look

There are many reasons, ranging from not wanting to leave already established communities, Lemmy and Kbin aren't quite as robust as Reddit is yet, and a lot of people just frankly don't care enough to switch. Plus the lack of a mobile for Kbin doesn't help.

Just gotta be patient and win people over slowly when they willing to make the jump :) We may see some more once the third-party apps shutdown at the end of the month.

Can't say I'm surprised. My partner both do this for movies and games, because we either can't hear the dialogue or freak out our dogs with the sound effects

Honestly, I think the biggest thing for me using Linux the last 10+ years has been I find it easier to stay updated. I can just run one command like apt update && apt upgrade -y or write a short script to include Flatpak or whatever else to get everything updated; whereas with Windows it feels like a crapshoot whether updates actually get pushed to my machine, and it also seems to just bug out on me frequently and need me to delete a corrupted download or whatever... and once that's done I gotta worry about updating drivers and apps.

Other than that, I guess the more customization is nice so I can change my desktop when I'm bored and need something new. Plus I'm personally much more comfortable in a Linux shell than Windows command prompt. But really day-to-day my experience is similar to Windows these days, in terms of stability and being able to get stuff done.

And I primarily use Mint, for it's worth :)

I love it. "Get over us screwing you and with normal discourse, or else" will definitely go over well 🤣

Edit: I'm a dumbass and forgot to mention the game I've easily played the most over the years: RuneScape 2 and currently Old School RuneScape. I love it. Lol

The biggest game for me in my childhood was Starcraft: Brood War. It got me into super RTS games, and even though I played it on the Nintendo 64 (which sucked in retrospect lol) it was the first game I really got into.

The next two games that come to mind were Super Smash Bros and Halo (specifically 2, but really all of the ones before 4 I played a ton of) just because these games were super easy and fun to play with friends and family.

And there were some honorable mentions like Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 and Star Fox 64, since these were also games that I played a ton of.

My Z Flip 4 that I got about 5 months ago has been holding rather well. The hinge took a little to get used to, but I don't really notice it during use anymore.

Of course 5 months isn't quite the 2+ years I'd ask out of a phone, so I'll just have to wait and see :)

100% gotta have some teeth behind it, else it'll be the same story with a new date lol

Oh sick! I wasn't aware one existed yet! What app is it?
