Oh look, the MS steamwreck.

LOL exactly :D

Hardly inevitable. I’m broke af, the economy is collapsing, so not spending money on Nintendo is the easiest possible choice. Literally not buying something you don’t need is the easiest form of protest.

We can’t have anything nice

I say this to be fair, since I’ve used Debian since almost the very beginning: Debian is a bit more complicated to set up.

I generally find when people ask me for help, they’re either on Ubuntu or on Fedora (in which case I direct them to someone else for help). Sometimes they’re gamers or using something where Debian + tweaks is ideal, but often I just help them configure Debian, or just help them get their Ubuntu where they want it.

Only tangentially related - but a friend brought over a new kubuntu install and Canonical had the cheek to demand money for VLC patches? They don’t fing own VLC. What the actual f is going on over there, Canonical?

I just recently de-snapped yet another ubuntu system. Couldn’t agree more. I use debian standard for all of my stuff, and I agree with your ranking.

Everyone is doing this, partially to stop AI scrapers and bots. It’s a bit weird on an “about” page, but welcome to 2025 and the dead internet.

What “kickstart”? The fediverse isn’t a commercial venture. If we can connect with our friends and interests, it’s already “working”. I find fantastic new people here all the time, doing really niche stuff I’d never find on a platform focused on appealing to everyone.

If “99%” of people aren’t on it, that’s perfectly acceptable, and just makes it easier for the ones on it to find and talk to their friends. I don’t think we need or want the vast torrent of spammers, downvote bots, and “influencer” types who use whatever gives them clicks.

I was told something like this about an article I was pointing out wasn’t on page 1 of google, but was on virtually all other engines. “Unless it’s page 1 of google nobody cares”

And all I can say is “who cares? those aren’t the people it’s for”
