Mastodon needs to get shiny and pretty and intuitive. Bluesky is gonna suck eventually because it’s corporate, the Fediverse will only get better.

But it needs to lose the fucking github energy.

Tags definitely needed.

Could be unrelated, but there was some fiasco a bit ago where some vegans on Lemmy were calling for withholding necessary nutrition to pets, and they got a ton of shit for it. There’s been a kind of “fuck that place” vibe ever since.

Hopefully people can eat a little less meat and it loses its subsidies. That would be great.

This feels like something the Fediverse is ultimately going to build for itself. I know jack squat about the details, but it’s gonna have to be a thing eventually, I think.

Yeah I mean it’s a better system. People are going to start noticing when they start thinking about that.

It’s a temporary situation. This is early adopter alpha stage shit.

Everybody giving a version of this answer makes me feel better about maybe switching to Linux.

All the others will get bought out and enshittified. The future is not there.

The Fediverse has the potential to be the future. It’s gated behind open sourceheads not being all…open-sourcey about. Making it clunky to use and badly designed and then pulling the establishment economist “you poor schlub you’re just too dumb to get it” card, thereby shooting their own efforts in the foot.

If they can make it open source AND easy to use/intuitive/well designed, then we have a solid future. If not, the future still won’t be those other places.

It’s up to everybody to keep their heads on straight, even in the social pressure (“social pressure”) of a dumb comment section.

Obsidian is pretty neat. Can use it with Syncthing, although I guess you need Syncthing-Fork on Android now.

Everybody’s heads are up their asses about this. It’s a great idea for a fediverse thing.

The real issue is nobody can use it because the damn confirmation emails don’t get sent.

A non-evil, non-corporate tiktok has some huge potential.

I hope it works.

I don’t know anything about ml specifically, and I refuse to learn because I don’t give a shit. Lemmy has pockets of crazy like any place. Do your thing, get banned if you get banned, end up where you end up.

I joined the new stardew valley thing you made.

Judge Dredd kicks down the door

I’m in the exact same boat as you.

After ten hours of research you will have learned that Linux Mint with Cinnamon is the one you’re looking for, for an intro. Widely used, familiar, stable.

Feel free to read a bunch to confirm.

On the ads I’m not seeing lol

This is escapism. Escapism that makes him money.

Man I really don’t want to switch to Linux but Microsoft has ended things forever with Recall. There’s just no way to stay with microsoft long term.

The downloading on freetube is so bad as to be functionally broken, and based on what reading I did to try to get it good, it sounds like it’s gonna stay how it is forever.

Basically it should be considered a lie to advertise freetube as having a working download function, even if it can technically do it. I wish it were better because it’s a neat little program for viewing without mucking up recommendations!

Anything big enough becomes a public restroom. Cooperation and syncronization between groups small enough not to devolve in that way seems to be an especially promising path forward.
