I don’t grow tomatoes, but am related to people who do.

It ain’t about saving money, they just taste way better.

I wouldn’t know tbh. I’ve never had any reason to use anything other than nano for a terminal text editor.

I’m sorry I don’t see how that’s relevant to my point.

I’m saying that of all the text editors, nano is the one that usually takes the least amount of effort to learn and set up. Both of those options require either learning or set up, so why would I choose them if convinience is what I’m after?

All I’m gonna say is than nano is installed on almost every Linux os and has the keyboard shortcuts written on the UI.

Yea thanks I’ll wait to see what the steam hw server says.

That’s whatcha get for buying a bamboo printer.

See this kinda thing is exactly why I’m still here. Some guy tried to use his software’s popularity to manipulate and censor Lemmy, and it had the exact opposite effect in the end. His software got immediately forked, most instances(that I know of) stopped using/supporting it and the whole thing is getting memed to death so now the entire usernase knows about it and can specifically avoid this guy and all the software he maintains.

When this kind of thing happens on a platform like reddit or some other closed system, we can often suspect and sometimes experimentally prove that some kind of censorship or manipulation is happening, but it is way more difficult to detect and there’s little the users can do about it.

Not here.

Here the users have the power, the knowledge, and the motivation to not only find problems like this, but to take collective action against them. You all have just proved it, once again.

Great meme!

I used to distros hop a bunch, not so much anymore.

Not really much point for me these days, arch based distros are so well documented that I can change basically anything I want without reinstalling the os, and Debian is similar for my homelab servers.

The slow hand crank.

I agree, however when I hear this kind of sentiment, I think about how hard big tech has been fighting to make people computer illiterate and how we need to fight harder than ever to get people to understand the machines they use even just a tiny bit more.

No but we can automate it

Time to get shwifty.

Wrong

You’re right that they don’t need to, but in reality they do whether they announce it or not.

In 2017 I tested this at home alone in my apartment in by myself using my smarphone by finding a site with lots of banner ads, monologing next to my phone about a topic with no relation to my current life at the time for about a minute, then refreshing the page. To my horror, the exact thing I was monologing about showed up on every single banner ad. Nothing in my life was going on related to that topic and the only thing connecting me and the topic was my own vocal words.

That was the moment I decided to avoid Google/big tech for the rest of my life.

In 2021, I bought 4 4TB bad HDDs for $65 each. I decoded to buy a spare a couple weeks ago in case this shit decides not to stop and an hdd fails since most of my shit is on my NAS. It was $170 for the exact same model.

Me: looks outside Capitalism: still exists Me: “dam, it didn’t work”

Time to throw out the roku I never use.

I think it’s a fantastic idea, I just don’t think they’ll like where it leads.
