Well, I was planning on looking into RealDebrid over my week off in winter, but I guess that's done now, damn.

I use Xfce, as do most of my Linux friends, it's lightweight and simple yet also very customizable.

I have a few Norweigan friends and they say the same.

They're creating the one thing they want to destroy. lol

They even admit that pepe can be used in perfectly normal ways, yet they show it's the number one most used one. That's crazy to me lmao

I think a lot of the future of social media is going to be determined by ease of use/beginner-friendliness.

The issue (and strength) with Lemmy is there's multiple instances. You're not gonna be able to explain it to non-technical people, even as an experienced programmer myself I sometimes find myself getting confused by Lemmy. People don't want to learn, they just want to use something that works.

Then again, KBin only had the one instance pretty much I think, and yet that died out anyway. So I think part of it is people just want to go where everyone else is, and that did end up being Lemmy and not KBin (although the maintainer of KBin also refused outside contributions which helped seal its fate lol)

If Bluesky has the one instance, and you literally just go to bsky.app and sign up, that's going to be a lot easier than trying to sell people on Mastodon or Lemmy when they Google those. Then again, I just googled Mastodon and it took me right to Mastodon.social so maybe I am mistaken.

I use Ubuntu because it's the most popular and well-supported.

I'm going to be switching to Mint at some point because it's basically a community-run fork of Ubuntu and I don't trust Canonical anymore, but it's hard to justify installing my OS from scratch considering I've been using Ubuntu since 2017.

I recently ordered a Thinkpad T14 Gen1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD and you better believe I'm going to be putting Mint on that as soon as I get it.

It's a shame, I wanted to like KBin because it's PHP and I specialize in PHP (also JS and Java), but the maintainer just made sure that it wasn't sustainable.

It will be interesting to see which one wins out, like how Lemmy won out vs kbin/mbin, since kbin never accepted any outside help and stopped contributing. Not really putting the open in open-source that way, IMO.

Wow, that's kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

This is why people say Americans are morons, because they elect shitheads like this.

Can't wait to see what these fuckheads have in store for America, and the rest of the world. Plus, Canada is getting it's own version of Trump next year, so that's incredible too.

What wonderful times we live in.
