  • I don’t know if this applies but I did the switch to Linux a coupls weeks ago (To Linux Mint, because beginner friendly).

    I’m curious with tech stuff but I’m not tech savvy in any way shape or form.

    Thing is, the in way to connect to my Google drive sucked hard. On windows I would install the program and be able to access it like any drive. On Mint there is a GUI way to connect to your Google account, but it is so slow that it took a PDF solid 2 minutes to load each page. So no way to work with that.

    So I needed a solution, which I found by installing rclone and setting it up.

    That was a stupid amount of work and command lines I realy did not understand at all (this was my time using the console).



  • I’ve used Windows 10 since it’s release. I had to reset it twice because I had a virus, which very much was my misstake. Other than that it did just work fine.

    I’ve switched to Mint 2 months ago and I am troubleshooting a lot. Most of that comes from inexpeariance, but the point still stands.

    Windows is more or less stable most of the time.









  • I don’t think anything exits on its own merit on the whole wide universe, but that is another discussion to be had.

    Content here seems to rise and fall if they fit the narrative the community wants to push. I was quite active on r/collapse and it only got The doom stuff about climate change. Positive messages were filtered out. That’s just one example, but it seems to be how Lemmy works and Reddit used to work before it was invaded by bots.

    I’d argue that is pushing the ego too. It’s a way to reaffirm the worldview one holds over and over. And that is, I think, a very ego driven thing, since we all strife to be right about things.
