Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn’t know possible.

2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.

Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.

I didn’t mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.

Yeah was gonna delete on the 30th but ive already seen my comments coming back to life. So I guess we’ll hold onto it and check in occasionally

I’m just waiting for the CEO to have to explain they are netting an annual profit and aren’t profitable over all yet.

Unless they are actually mismanaging money, they have to be netting profit.

If someone sends you that shit out of the blue, or you scroll by it while browsing the internet, there wasn’t a damn thing you could do. If you saved the image now we have a problem, ideally you take steps to ensure you won’t see that image or anything like it again but I don’t even think that would be legally required in alot of places…

Didn’t beehaw defederate from you guys last night?

Yeah Im dusting off the surfer after a few years of just making sure the battery is good…

Yeah so far Lemmy has been pretty chill, I havent even felt the urge to call someone a dumb fuck yet and I’ve seen some dumb shit already.

Something about the way everyone else talks makes it a far more friendly atmosphere. Most people here are open and encouraging, on Reddit people were trying to defend their overflowing karma pile with a spoon, extreme violence of action was common because there was more karma to be gained than being civil (more people checkout a big fight than 2 people making up over a disagreement).

On lemmy, votes don’t really matter beyond the discussion at hand, and have yet to see a comment/thread actually go negative, seems like not keeping score makes everyone friendlier.

Coffezilla on YouTube will help keep you in the loop on the big scams in that space.
