poe.com has loads of different models, def worth checking out

interesting! Where abouts in the uk are you from? i’ve never heard of footballers hankerchief and def heard of snot rocket

what’s the benefits of being federated for code?

op did mention they tired of xfce

live image is a great shout. you could ventoy to boot into the different images as quick as possible

I love the swipey gesture workflow on gnome on the laptop

haha yeah with a 10meter gap between cars…

weird ux but you have to hold your phone upside down when you long press it

this is pretty disgusting even for Facebook

free but you can pay for certs for a bunch of them too: https://ocw.mit.edu/ https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/learning/free-mit-online-computer-science-classes

Are they losing enough to have an impact to their ad traffic however? Something reddit definitely have lost is the monopoly on online communities, now there’s a bunch of alternatives that people use which has definitely reduced the value of reddit.

can other mods reappoint you?

You should reopen privacy but a la /r/pics and only allow posts about laptop privacy screens and laptop privacy screen reviews and top 10 laptop privacy screens etc. for some malicious compliance.

Find it hilarious that the article itself didn’t utilise this, what a missed opportunity!

Good point, I do wonder what % of userbase are in support of these protest and what % don’t care? Seems like ~100k has joined these fediverse alternatives out of reddit’s 50,000,000 daily active users 0.2% if my tired maths hasn’t failed me.

Not that I want the same userbase as reddit, far from it…

My 50pence is that what reddit has fucked up is their monopoly on where these communities reside.

I tried searching for top 10 eyelash extension brands for dogs on lemmy and it didn’t find anytthing pfft

I think a lot of people (myself included) were put off voat due the right wing politics and seemingly toxic nature of the site.

With regards to Lemmy - I’m not a communist by any stretch of the imagination but I’m definitely more left leaning and liberal, and the community aspect here is decent so far.

I just saw this, highlighting my own

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass."

In my navigation of the fediverse the last few days I’ve noticed a few people running instances of mastodon and lemmy with just themselves or 1 or 2 other people etc.

If you into tinkering and selfhosting, why not :D Means you’re in full control of what other instances you federate with/can see etc.

I have 5 invites, I want to save one for my bro but if you, or any other peeps want one - PM me :)

I feel reddit corp still dgaf and when the majority of subreddits are back then the blackouts will be but a memory…

For me personally - I gaf, so I deleted my 12YO reddit account, wiped my comments and now going to be a lemmy & mastodon main.

I think that the fediverse will continue to grow nicely, especially as existing reddit apps start to point to lemmy as a backend. Also places like tildes.net will grow nicely too with things like the fact the reddit is fun app dev has stated he’s building an app for it.

They’ll no doubt survive, but Reddit really fucked their monopoly with how this was handled.

We’re all learning dude :D I just played around with the fork, broke it, reverted it, played around again etc. until it worked nicely to be honest.
