Uh… Eerily accurate.

By loaded I meant with servers full, don’t know if it came across correctly. 😅 They’re smaller than lemmy.world though

Time to embrace Infinite Term Support. I’m about to go Debian too, but for other reasons

I hope they’re accepting new members, last I knew about it they were already very loaded with new users.

sigh Based Lemmy devs having yet another big W. Wish my instance did the same

That’s the reason why I don’t main Arch. I’m already past the point where I have all the patience to tinker the conflicts away.

Commenting counts as creating content right? If so, I’ll be glad to continue as a serial commenter and rare poster :')

Yup, boring lives are a goal to strive for in our world. That means financial stability with not many serious issues going on.

Goddamn I want my life to be as boring as possible.

It’ll happen when they capture the biggest portion of Twitter’s users. As soon as that happen enshittification shall descend upon it.

Yup, capitalism pushes them to try to own/incorporate everything that can either be a threat or a resource for the business.

It’s really not primed for development. I’d use Arch, Fedora, openSUSE or Debian for that.

I imagine him being annoyed at most, but only switching if something break. He’s way more focused on pragmatism than ethics (not implying he doesn’t think about the ethics standpoint)

What Mint install did you have that had that many issues? Installing apps has been easy for a long time already, just open the app store and pick what you need. Updates is the same thing: app store > update. Whenever something breaks for some reason, there are auto-created rollbacks on the boot menu. My partner is far from being a techie and they managed every daily operation without needing help from my part.

I think we had vastly different experiences, probably because of hardware or release differences, but I never saw the kind of issues you’re commenting :/

Being opt-out instead of opt-in is icky. I don’t have much faith in RedHat related projects after the recent debacles (RHEL trying to kill off Alma and Rocky and Fedora’s project manager being fired with no replacement).

As a Fedora user, I’m really tired of being disappointed. Gonna wait for my vacation to switch to Debian.

Same here, it’s also really snappy for me.

I’ve never used it with a Nvidia card, was speaking mostly about mine and my family’s experience. I don’t currently know the state of Nvidia support on Mint at this moment, whether with the proprietary or open source drivers, so can’t give you any info on that.

About being foolproof, it’s about being easy to use without having many footguns, not about being bug free.

This is the best analogy I’ve seen for Arch.

With all due respect, you (and your account) sound too much like astroturf material. The primary business of Meta is influencing public opinion, and that’s the biggest danger it poses to any group.

If you’d like to invite the company that has collaborated with Rohingya’s genocide, feel free to do so. I’d never be able to do so and sleep well at night.

I won’t further engage past this comment our of respect for my own time and for your ability to comprehend my points.

The apps for the fediverse aren’t responsible for federating with Meta, the instances (servers) are.

If my instance (lemmy.world) federates with Meta, I need only to switch servers (say, to lemmy.ml or lemm.ee), not stop using the current app I use (mostly Jerboa, but also Thunder and LiftOff).

ActivityPub won’t ever “truly” die, it might lose the chance of becoming “the salvation from mega corporations running the internet” though. We’ll always have the possibility of running small-ish, tight-knit instances.

But agreed, fuck Zuckerberg and his cronies.
