I expect there are very few people running 7, and waaaay less running xp. I think most people have upgraded to 10 or 11 by now.

I don’t remember there being a similar CPU generation cutoff before. Your 7th gen intel laptop cannot install windows 11. So Linux is your only choice.

Yeah but half of that is a few nerds inflating the numbers with 10 thinkpads each running different linux distros

Yeah they want to make it too difficult to bother intentionally unsubscribing.

The universe growing souls like flowers, or something

I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.

“The customer is always right” is a very popular saying, usually uses by managers to tell their front-facing employees that they must prostrate themselves before the customer on behalf of the corporation.

This is to create a false feeling of entitlement and service in the customer while the corporation seeks to squeeze all value from both employee and customer.

None of those relationships fit into the fediverse scheme.

This helps, thanks!

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

Is there a page where we can see which instances are ban-crazy and which ones actually federate and communicate?

I’m criticizing people criticizing people for criticizing people who criticize people who criticize…

You’re just as tiring as the people you’re criticizing.

I might have to go here. I’m already tired of defederation and its histrionic champions.

Came here to say this.

/s hurt me daddy

I forgot about them. I didn’t know they were FOSS. Is F-Droid primarily for nerds and programmers? Or do normies also use it? I stopped working on Android apps because I don’t want my hobby to be subjected to the whims of Google’s acceptance criteria. But maybe I could publish to F-Droid instead.

What kind of FOSS software can you get for your android?

At this point I only pirate media that I can’t find through legit means. I think it’s honestly hilarious that they don’t just make every movie or album available to purchase and download without DRM, since that would be the best way to combat piracy.

I pay for what I can, but I’m also a big Linux user who loves FOSS software. Adobe can get bent. I use Gimp, Krita, and Audacity/Tenacity.

Microsoft can also get bent.

Where is the state power in the fediverse?

They seem more node.js-friendly than other hosts I’ve tried. I might have to take the plunge.

Except instead of Nazis (?!?!) it’s corporations.

Maybe I should figure out DO. I disregarded then because I didn’t understand their droplets or whatever they’re called.
