Same here. There's nothing tying me to Windows other than that's what I already have installed. Microsoft already announced a forced upgrade to Windows 11 next year. If I'm being forced to change my OS anyways I'm going to pick a Linux distro.

Windows has WinGet now. It's probably already installed but if not, their install page says it can be installed from the Microsoft Store. It also has WSL for running Linux programs.

Are you telling me Atticus Finch wasn't a bird lawyer?

Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, it's a straw, you see? Watch it. Now my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I... drink... your... milkshake. I drink it up!

Lemmy isn't really an echo chamber. It's like saying going over to a friends place is an echo chamber because you and your friend get along. There's nothing wrong with hanging out with people who share your values and beliefs.

The problem with social media are their algorithms. They aren't designed to connect you with like-minded people, but to keep you engaged. The content that keeps people engaged tends to be terrible content.

The recent "a man or a bear" trend is a perfect example. Algorithms love divisive content like that because it drives engagement, but it also leads to people getting really upset over nothing. Lemmy doesn't have any algorithms driving engagement so it doesn't have that problem.

0.25 / 0.5 = 0.5
0.25 = 0.5 × 0.5
1/4 = 1/2 × 1/2

This was tried in court. The response from the judge was "If the man is dead, then he cannot petition the court. If the man is not dead, then his life sentence has not been served." An excellent exchange of sophistry!

The colour is actually named after the fruit. Orange is the colour that an orange is. It's fascinating that people speaking so many different languages around the world saw an orange and were like "bruh. You know the colour between red and yellow in a rainbow? I've found the perfect word for it"
