Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account

fr! I’ll start calling it “X” when he calls his daughter Vivian

All the NMS comparisons that I’ve heard are also making me want to play it again too, lol

a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles

In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).

Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option

They do. sorta. It’s definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.

Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.

The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

I used Voat back in the day, from the beginning, when it was still called Whoaverse; to right around when it became a Nazi-filled shithole. But that doesn’t really count too much since for a good portion of that time, it ran on a modified version of the old open-source reddit code. Whatever it moved to in the short time before the new ““community”” ruined was pretty decent; lemmy-ui reminds me of it a lot actually.

I used to be big into Imzy too, before it shutdown. Its software was somewhat like new Reddit, but like, actually performant and not a bug-riddled mess. I still miss it, but the lemmyverse, especially Beehaw, is filling that hole.

I’ve also used the old guard of forum software, I don’t know what ran what because I didn’t really pay attention to that kind of stuff as a kid.

I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

Most of my time on Reddit was because of the constant flow of actually new content and “new to me” content (binging subreddits that I had just found out about).

Lemmy only has a constant flow of actually new content and it’s slower.

Higher pay and a housing market carsh

I’ve been running mine on a cheap (€4/mo) VPS from Hetzner since my ISP doesn’t let me host from a residential IP.

My NAS is loud enough without lemmy; hate to see how loud it’d get with it

They were, but the porn wasn’t popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.

I joined Beehaw first because I like their philosophy, the admins seem pretty level headed, and they’re decently large. But they defederated from/were never federated with a couple of instances that I was interested in, so I made my own instance and am here now.

It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re on something with recentish packages.

I’ve been on Arch for the past year or so and it’s been working pretty well.

I’ve used openSUSE, Void, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu in the past for gaming and they’ve all been decent.

I’m just on Arch because I wanted a newer kernel and graphics drivers than Debian.

I was homeschooled and while I had a really good experience, I think that that is only because I was lucky enough to not have religious nutjobs for parents.

I’m scared for all the kids who will grow up physically and emotionally abused because their parents were afraid of some woke boogeyman in public schools.
