The summary for this video hurts my eyes to look at.

As someone not working in IT and not very knowledgeable on the subject, I’ve had way less issues with Manjaro than with Mint, despite reading everywhere that Mint “just works”. Especially with printers.
I’ve been using Discord almost since launch, and in that time, not a single feature did I find as an important addition to the program. It is now much more bloated with unnecessary stuff, stuff for which they paid those talented devs you mention.
I would have been perfectly content with a one-time payment to use it and it would have worked perfectly well for them with that model if they didn’t get greedy and want to stuff it with random junk to justify a subscription.
I don’t mind paying as long as it’s not a subscription scam for no reason at all.
I don’t want to use Facebook on my phone. I just need to talk to people on there that refuse to use other apps.
Same. Just have to hold out until the EU makes all messaging apps cross+operable and then I’ll be able to talk to everyone again.
Genuinely ignorant, what wrong with Al-Jazeera? Sure, it’s biased on some topics, but aren’t all news sources?
Would it be feasible to fork the internet if this comes to pass?
Literally the only point of advertising is to manipulate people into buying stuff. I don’t need your product, I don’t want your product, and I hate it when you shove it in my face exclusively for your own profit.
If I decide I want something, I go looking for it.
I’m out of the loop, how exactly are they getting worse?
When I was a kid, we used to visit relatives a lot. I was 12 as well and listening to adults talk about boring stuff wasn’t cutting it anymore. Most of my relatives had PCs, but none with any games I’d be interested in. So I took my mom’s 8gb USB stick and turned it into a Linux Mint bootable usb.
Now, keep in mind that I didn’t know that much English at the time and honestly I’m amazed I managed to do that, but… I wasn’t aware stuff on the stick would be overwritten, and let’s just say my mom wasn’t too pleased!
Didn’t even solve my problem, since the only game that would run was Terraria, and that with like 5 fps on most of the computers I tried it on!
I want to be free to avoid those discussions and not have them forced upon me. Call it freedom from commercialised discussions. It’s not something I want to see or engage with, so I would rather not use a platform with ads and such than tolerate them. If Lemmy becomes ad infested at any point, I’m going to go touch grass instead.
I doubt people who would use Meta’s instance are the sort of interesting people I’m on Lemmy for.
That was trippy af
Exactly! I believe that once Rexxit is over, a big part of those that stay and have joined the big instances will naturally migrate to smaller instances with rules and philosophies that match their own.
I’m not American, but isn’t it mandated by law over there to do stuff like this, to create the maximum profit for shareholders?
Forgive my ignorance of US laws!
I’d prefer no implants ever if I can help it. I’d only be fine with one if it saved my life. Otherwise, there are just too many things that can go wrong with it in ways our current technology can’t. You can go off-grid now if you get sick of tech, but that becomes infinitely harder if you have a chip in your brain
