It’s just like Peertube. Cool concept in theory, but breaks down once you consider the less fun parts of it (storage volume).

Gonna be really hard to figure out how to make solid Fedi alternatives to image/video-based social media.

Nothing to contribute honestly, I just want to say that this is the funniest post i’ve seen on lemmy

• Lo-fi hip hop instrumentals. Think Nujabes and related producers or MF DOOM and Madlib beats.
• Jungle/atmopheric DNB. NOT breakcore because I know electronic fans are rabid about genres and categories.
• High paced rap and rock/metal. Counter-intuitive for studying but great for physical exercise. This is mostly newer style rap.

Newgrounds would be awesome in the Fediverse tbh, would bring so much content (beyond politics and news).

Image hosting seems to be super problematic with activity pub, especially with something pf Newgrounds’ size. I’m super invested in this, can’t wait to see where it’ll go.

Yeah I’ve pretty much accepted that kbin.social is just gone at this point. I also owned a community there (/m/ai). I didn’t have any spammers appear, but it eventually just died since spam ruined the rest of the instance.

The signs were already there months in advance, but most of us stayed on the instance in hopes that the dev would eventually take up one of the offers to help maintain the instance. Was fun while it lasted, and was the best alternative to Reddit for sure as a software. I don’t even know how Ernest kept up with development during the initial Reddit exodus lol.

Honestly, I’m not impressed with Lemmy so far and I don’t really vibe with mbin for personal reasons even though the software is great.

This whole kbin story has just pointed out a lot of flaws in the Fediverse as a whole for me. I still like the idea, but the execution needs improvement.

I literally cannot use Linux at the moment due to incompatible software, as much as I love Linux and use it on every other computer I own.

These posts about Windows and other mainstream platforms are helpful or interesting for some of us, I wish people on Lemmy would stop shooting them down just because they don’t like Windows/Micro$oft.

This has been a long time in the making…hopefully Firefox will see a market share increase. Google is doing this right as they get slapped by an antitrust ruling ironically lol. If you haven’t already just go ahead and switch, if you like Lemmy you’ll probably like Firefox as well.

Side note: I try not to be negative here, but this would be a great time for Mozilla to get their act together as an organization. Love Firefox and the idea, but Mozilla has been pissing off the FOSS space for a while now with their decisions. If they’ve improved in recent years, disregard this.

Gen Z.

This place is a lot older than I expected.

Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.

At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.

I’m a little lost here…when I started using Fedora I was pretty much a complete beginner (used Ubuntu a little bit before but not extensively, only GUI applications) and stuff like this wasn’t an issue. Just copy and paste from some online guide. Didn’t have to use the terminal frequently either.

Fedora is pretty easy.

Was super invested in it (was considering moderating multiple magazines), as I really like Kbin and the vision of it being an all-in-one microblogging and link aggregator platform in the Fediverse. With there being so many federated platforms serving the same purpose, I like how Kbin sort of went against the fragmentation. Had to leave it for Lemmy just the other day as well. I think that Ernest has created the best alternative to Reddit despite the struggles he’s faced with development and maintaining the instance alongside with personal issues.

mbin looks great but I think I’ll just stay with the more stable option and community…being an early adopter was fun for a year though. I’m still a little iffy about mbin personally. If there’s a mbin/kbin API release I may reconsider.

I’m conflicted when it comes to mine so I’m just going to throw a few out. It’d take me forever to make a definite choice:

• Code Geass: Ridiculous plot and Lelouch is such a well written character
• Initial D: I love cars, the soundtrack, and the added dynamic of relationships on top of racing and dreams.
• FLCL: Soundtrack, animation, and how it makes 0 sense as a plot device
• Vinland Saga: Season 2 (and the Vinland Arc in the manga)
• Samurai Champloo: I like hip-hop, cool samurai, and long journeys. The ending was one of my favorites in any anime because of how simple it was

So glad to be hearing actual good news for once.

Happy Pride btw

Honestly surprised at the amount of arguing over iPhones and Androids here, its 2024. It’s not that deep.

Seriously, of all things tech news related nowadays, green and blue bubbles are a non-issue. If someone has an issue with it, it’s probably worth not making it your issue as well and just walking/swiping away to find someone else to talk to.

I consistently talk to iPhone users using SMS. Besides from the occasional picture compressed into oblivion, nobody cares enough to even make jokes about the phones we are using. At the end of the day, it’s just a phone.

I use Debian on nearly everything that isn’t a “testing machine”…it’s just what I’m familiar with. Used to be like this with Fedora. If you are looking to just use it as a regular end user and don’t really need anything different or particularly want some new scenery, you might as well just install Debian again.

I love guitars (I own two, though I’m an on-and-off casual player) and I have a few friends who are also into guitar-made music. Other genres like hip-hop also make use of guitars on occasion as well. They definitely aren’t as popular as they once were, but they still have a fandom in Gen Z.

Cheap scissors for your car. You never know when you need to open something that would be difficult to do with your hands for whatever reason.
