How auspicious that this popped up on my Lemmy feed

Earlier on my Misskey I was bitching about how like

Holy shit

I hadn't realllly used windows in 2 years (only for emergencies, and my emergency windows install is a debloated windows 10 AME thing that I set up one geological era ago). But today I was setting it up in a family member's laptop as a favour. It somehow got even worse in the past few years!

Like to not even get into the whole privacy and control over one's machine discussion (someone smarter can explain that in an eloquent way that isn't just "windows bad", though windows IS terrible for that, mind) -- it's just annoying!

Like you can't even start using the computer without setting up a Microsoft account, and then you have to go through seven different screens where Microsoft wants you to give consent to them spying on you, and even if you were to say yes (don't), it still is slow and plodding to do. And THEN after that it still sees fit to drop advertisements for Microsoft 365 and Gamepass because hey you just bought a license key to premium software? How would you like some fucking subscription services with that?

Everytime I use a windows machine it's a real "damn bitch you LIVE like this?" moment

Me, I sold it to my friend and bought a steam deck

The switch walked so the deck could run.

God I wish I was a famous person. Even a profoundly weird one like that sdjksjdklsjad

You'll need to have an account on an instance that allows community creation.

I have a lemmy.world account specifically to create communities, I then give my actual account modding rights and that's how I do stuff.

Once you do, hit me up. I'm sure I can both answer AND ask questions. Keep it alive.

Extremely nerdy:

  • I accidentally gave a guy a BLJ instead of a BJ and he got launched up the fucking stairs

Slightly less nerdy:

  • Hey did you hear about the guy who dipped his testicles in glitter? It's a Pretty Nuts Story!

Print the anime frames into a flipbook.

Rip out its pages

Roll them into joints

You are now smoking anime

And probably inhaling toxic ink fumes but that just means IT'S WORKING

I just wish more of the reddit escapees would understand and embrace that, technologically speaking, Lemmy is not Reddit and that this is a good thing, actually.

There will be splintered communities hosted on different servers. There will be servers that decide to defederate from each other, be it for understandable reasons or stupid ones. And you will, probably, end up having to create more than one account because of drama that had nothing to do with you.

This isn't a bug, it's a feature. For everything you lose in convenience by not having "the everything site" where you go for literally all things, you gain flexibility and freedom. If my home-instance decides it doesn't want legal trouble and bans talk of piracy... I can just get an account at one that has no such qualms. My browser/phone will remember my passwords for me.

A community's culture shifting over time is inevitable, but these newcomers seem to want to change Lemmy on a technological level, and change it in ways that would rob it of the things that make it interesting, yanno?

I also wish it'd be less US-centric around here. But I guess that is inescapable.

Watching the discussion here I finally get how it feels like to be a centrist. And it feels dirty.

Anyway, good for them, or whatever. Hyprland was a'ight when I tested it, even if it ain't my thing. Still hoping for a Wayland Compositor that gives an XFCE-type experience (that is to say, UX without Gnome's 'opinionated' weirdness, and without all the fancy effects that Plasma has. Relatively lighter, also looks a bit retro)
