Honestly that sounds like a jerk move.

Quite the opposite,

Why would you force someone to use Linux?

In what world is that force ? He wasnt holding a gun to her head, the opposite, he’s freeing her from stupidity.

Decent people help others, they don’t go along with their stupid ideas before at least trying to convince them its a stupid idea. An allegory perhaps, your friend comes over, they have a 1/2 dozen beers, they’re going to drive home… In your world it seems it’s force to ask them not to and to stay over.

It isn’t your computer and if you are helping them you should do what they want

Helping them is the phrase you seem to be confused about. It’s his sister, not his boss at the office.

Mastodon, Lemmy, Goto Social, Pixelfed, Bookwyrm.

Peertibes default no federation thing is too frustrating for me to deal with

even a screen name

/. been around for awhile.

Wow that changed too politics quickly, why drag Trump and the GOP into this ? :)

How could it though ? Posts on server A might not be allowed on server B ?

I’ve always assumed post migration would never be a thing becase of that.

That’s interesting, I had “assuned” a way higher percentage of European users (am Australian)

Thanks for that

“If there’s one thing I’d hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president,” she writes,

Ever the optimist? The only four years thing i mean.

Mint is the way I went (13 months ago). Linux Mint Debian Edition in particular.

My Surface Pro 7 was perma nagging me about going to W11. Screw it, just installed LMDE 2 days ago, chose Mint Debian Edition as I use it on my desktop for the last 13 months.

Hers a list of Fedi based projects where parople have said the same thing

• Mastodon
• Lemmy
• GotoSocial
• Bookwyhrm

Then step outside that

• Linux
• GNU

Then stuff like

• Meta
• Twitter
• Microsoft
• Apple
• Oracle
• AI

Do anything and some people will dislike you. I save my loathing for the commercial projects and the inevitable enshitiftacion of the internet that they necessarily add to.

how did you find Lemmy?

via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial

did you find out through reddit?

no.

Yes and the same developer does Loops, the TikTok “equivalent”

Not sure when he sleeps

Just sending a random picture to your freinds every day is a cool thing imo.

You can do that with Signal ?

Seriously, I’ve never understood the point of it.

To sell Ads, like most commercial meida eg newspaper, TV etc etc. Flogging advertising makes money for metas stockholders and others.

About 90 mins. I shut it down when i finish every and turn it off at the wall (fuskibg standby LEDs). I can go days without booting it back up. I use #LMDE

I run a second Signal for that in the secure folder of my Samsung phone.

When younger people complain about capitalism, it’s the 21st century almost-feudal version of capitalism that they’re complaining about.

Well, there is Keynes

“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of motives, will somehow work together for the benefit of all.”—John Maynard Keynes

To much regulatory oversite needed I’d siggest to make ot work outside of the paid solutions.

When i was first interested in the issie this seemed the perfect use case for crypto, fast foward 5 years and it still seems that way.

I’d suggest XNO but maybe there is something else ?

Hey XNO bro, I thought it was the perfect token for what you were talking about.

I jave a bunch of XNO, any creatives taking them ? Might as well “gift” them away.

We moved for climate change, if I moved to be near friends it would be hot shit holes, heavily reliving on AC and car centeism with poor weather outcomes.

So…no :).

That aside, you know if you move you can make new friends yeah ?
