It won’t, it’s just a grift.
It’s still a good resource for stuff like that but I’m not contributing to it.
Got a link? I’d be curious to read that.
It’s not hopeless! The Fediverse is AFAIK entirely nonprofit, and smaller instances means more moderator eyes on everything, too.
If I had to predict the future, I think apps like Reddit, Twitter, Tioktok, etc will be the places for entertainment and the Fediverse will become the place for conversation.
Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.
The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.
I’ve come to realize the Linux basics are actually a lot easier to learn compared to Windows and MacOS, the hard part is un-learning the old ways and habits of doing things. Like if one day everyone on earth forgot how to use operating systems, I’d bet Linux would probably be the one that catches on. It’s only because we’re so used to the idiosyncrasies of stuff like Windows that it feels more natural.
If it’s not the OS drive it’s prooobably fine.
The reason is because they use that stuff to help determine if you’re a bot.
reCAPTCHA Enterprise interacts with the customer backend and webpages to trigger a sequence of JavaScript, HTML, and token authentication events.
I welcome competition in the space even if it is imperfect.
The major advantage of a subscription model is that they don’t need most users, just enough to be financially sustainable.
FWIW I really like Zorin, it’s not dramatically different but it is prettier out of the box.
Well said. Also, “tweakability” is ultimately going to be the same for any distro. Like you said the more beginner-friendly ones like Mint just start with some common tweaks already in place.
OP, do you know about GNOME extensions? It’s not something the Jedi will usually tell you about. But it’s a great start to the rabbit hole for newbies.
Confusing Linux with Lenovo is pretty funny.

Why is this bad?
Don’t make the mistake of confusing the Linux community (an absolute mess, just read the comments here) with the software itself (Actually cleaner and better organized than Windows).
I have a very similar setup to you, and I use SyncThing without issue for the important files (which I keep in my Documents directory to make it easy to remember).
Yeah it is a beta, but the actual final update that was released lacked that gyro functionality over 2.4ghz that was in the beta. So yeah, you kinda do need to “downgrade”.
Hopefully they do release an update with that functionality enabled one day but it’s been well over a year now and they don’t even officially provide that beta version anymore. So it’s not looking hopeful.
The 8bitdo ultimate you linked to is great. To be clear I have only used it with Windows.
But if you get it there is a hitch that’s not made clear anywhere- in order to use on 2.4ghz mode (with the dongle) with gyro enabled, you need to downgrade the firmware to an old beta version 8bitdo doesn’t host anymore. Someone uploaded it to google drive in that reddit thread I linked to.
hey look its the guy from the meme
