Sir, are you the Pirate Bay? I feel like you're single-handedly keeping a tracker alive.

For real. Symphonic metal is already great - let's give whatever this mashup is a shot.

Plus, he likes to pretend he's an expert on the industries of the companies he runs. That's already potentially dangerous with Tesla and Space X, but in this case his hubris is very directly dangerous to the people receiving his services.

I don't have any experience with CoreOS so can't help you on that front. That said, it sounds like the server in question isn't mission-critical in the first place and you seem to have come up with a good argument for trying it out. Why not give it a go and see how it works out?

This is an excellent point. My benchmark for something like this is, "What would cause my wife to migrate from Reddit to Lemmy?" The answer is a Digg-level fiasco where the majority of users leave.

Those of us who already swore off Reddit in favor of this platform are vastly the exception. Most people follow the herd when it comes to social media.

That said, as much as I'd love to see a larger userbase and more active niche communities here, I'm quite happy with our incremental growth. The fediverse feels a lot more like the community of the early internet, which is something I really missed.

Very weird then! Oh well, I'm sure X11 will stick around long into when Wayland works on all systems.

Yeah - after posting my comment I legit double checked that I was indeed running Wayland. I've heard so many people complain about its instability that I started to doubt myself. Sure enough, it's Wayland and it's been an amazing experience thus far. Daily use for work and browsing is basically flawless, and most games seem to run as good or better than they did under Windows 11.

That makes a lot of sense.

Is that with an Nvidia GPU? Apparently that can be problematic in its current state. Wayland on my AMD card has been basically flawless, but your mileage may vary.

That's an interesting arrow placement. I zoomed in like crazy trying to find the damn wasp. If anyone else is a dummy like me, it's right at the top of the case window.

With all these companies pivoting to the creation of AI products, this seems like a great opportunity for someone to step in and create ... Checks notes ... absolutely anything else.

Hey now, I don't want anyone looking at my girlfriend's source code. That's personal!
