This. If you want to go back to the days without systemd and writing invit scripts manually, knock yourselves out. The rest of us will continue to live in the modern world of systemd, pulse audio (and now pipe wire).

Honestly it's one of my personal reasons for disliking AI. I (let alone most of our kids) don't want or need a reason to think less, let alone own less of my content. FFS.

Thank the gods for Firefox.

It's taken me a bit to get used to and get it setup, but I'm liking it more and more, the longer I'm on it :)

That's what I did too. It's not quite the same. But muscle memory doesn't betray me at least.

Yeah. Fuck restaurants that expect me to scan a damned qr code for a fucking menu.

I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse 😁

Pretty sure you just have to create a new account. There's no 'migration'.

This is day 2 for me on Lemmy, plus a bit of time for the previous 3 or 4 messing about here and there. And... I'm kinda in love. I just hope there's more people showing up, with more content and such soon :)

I feel so very very sorry for them. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... /s

I've been coughing a lot, while working outside the last few days. I'm in Ohio, and it doesn't look particularly dusty or smoky, but my lungs can sure feel it.

That's where I'm at with reddit, and where I've been with Facebook for years. Though, interestingly, Slim Social for Facebook has gotten around this quite well for Facebook, for everything except for messages until very recently, where you have to ask for the desktop site. Maybe someone can come up with something similar for reddit...

This is what I keep telling my friends who use them to 'write research papers/articles'. It's just a bunch of bs, that I don't trust.

Thanks, but I'm going to continue to research and lookup my own info.

Eh. I know the basics. I can open, do some very basic editng, save and close. That's about as much as is really needed, right?

Yeah, I heard about Lemmy on reddit too. Just before the blackout.

Yeah. Part of me is annoyed by snaps. But, tbh, having tried fedora and opensuse over the last few years, I don't quite see how they're so much worse than freaking Flatpaks. And at least they come gods damned fully enabled.

Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They're the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they're remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it's just not realistic, sadly.

Congrats! I was hoping that's what was going on!!❤️

To be fair, my husband is about as far from tech savvy as they come, and he's been running Linux for years on his laptop. Every 2-3 years I upgrade him. Sometimes just within distros (Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 say. Other times, I've moved him distros (to fedora) or back to Ubuntu. Otherwise? I don't touch his system. He's been happy for years.

Jump in wherever you find an interest. There's so many projects and pretty much anyone and everyone is happy for new contributors.
