Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

ii suspect that most on lemmy have been moving from one platform to another since 1990’s because of this sentence and it boggles my mind someone repeats it like it’s never happened before.

fedora on my mac was stable for 12 years

rednote has been fantastic for me; what was wrong w it for you?

and condemns anyone who tries to advocate for anything otherwise.

it’s strange to see a nation that popularly keeps alive the memories of being at the receiving end of colonialism act like a colonizer themselves.

is that a pinebook?

Would it be possible to automatically encode the images client side when uploading?

seconded!

my /boot is also 2 gigs and i’m glad you shared this; thank you!

you should also know that it’s a double edged sword if you go with linux first vendors because you’ll likely never learn from resolving your own technical difficulties that arise as a result of hardware that is not 100% linux compatible.

i learned so much from putting linux on my windows & mac hardware; that it enabled me tow work on linux professionally for the last 21 years. switching to linux first hardware 5-ish years ago made my knowledge of people facing issues atrophy, so i bought windows first hardware to re-acquaint myself.

it’s hard to tell what the europeans want since they make all this noise about decoupling with american tech; but then turn around and capitulate to american tech like this.

as a mac & linux user since 2002 and i had a time machine to do it all over again but correctly this time; i would go with a linux first vendor like system76 or tuxedo or any other vendor that uses 100% open source hard/software. (ie coreboot/libreboot).

linux can work on almost all hardware (including mac) but you’re mileage is going to vary a lot and only the linux first vendors can give you an experience that rivals mac and windows.

every time i’ve heard a decider state the reason why they won’t embrace linux, it’s always because they don’t believe that linux is capable at handling the same scale that microsoft can and that’s despite the fact that significantly larger institutions realy on linux.

the excuse feels rehearsed since it’s always the same.

i’m going to be using mozilla until after they lock the doors and shutting off the lights; just like i did with netscape decades ago.

what happened w its creator?

privacy.

apple has proven time and time again that they’ll cave to the american government at any an all oppurtunities while doing theater to pretend to protect its users.

ai is an extreme that an overwhelming majority of people reject and probably the clearest sign of how much control of oligarchy has over us since their will over it is forcing the rest of us to accept it like we do with accepting the lack of universal basic income; socialized healthcare; minimum wage increase; education invistements; etc. despite an overwhelming majority of people needing it.

i was going to recommend this; a couple that loves doing something together is bound to be much more rewarding than the cost of one of these machines.

BATTAAAL!!!

woo loo loo

i didn’t know that jmp.chat was a thing!

THANK YOU!!!
