well, no, not really. Just regular web usage and occasional gaming on Steam...

As an Indian person, you definitely also know that Indian officials are highly corrupted! It's something world-famous (or infamous?)

If the state does not protect them, they may as well become the state.

I think you seem to have a particular dislike for a type of post. Just a wild guess

Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.

Also MacOS is popular because its users don't have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, "it just works" anyone?

It maybe better to not refer new users as newbies. People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS. Why is MacOS successful? Because it is easy to use and is a complete products with few bugs. I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.

I would agree too, and I think you said it better than me. Fediverse' instances IS its strong point, but also a double-edged sword if not presented well.

Of course I don't want Threads. I'm just saying the user is being bombarded with information at the first step, which is bad product design.

 

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint... there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with "which instance?"

Who the fuck cares about instances and whatnot when an average grandma just wants to make a post on knitting in a supportive community? It really turns people off and without niche communities, there is no way Lemmy will grow any further than its current state.

Without niche communities, what are we going to talk about? Memes? Just programming-related stuff? (I can just surf stackoverflow for that) It can be fun for a while but without diversity, the site will just devolve into boredom and circlejerks. I love this place to death and really want to see it grow, but man, seeing how confusing it can be for an average user makes me anxious for changes.

edit: paragraphs & grammar

edit 2: I'm not saying the Fediverse should be something else. Just like someone here said it better than me, Fediverse can be as complicated under the hood as it wants, but the end user does not need to know that. It must be presented in a way as simple as possible, with plenty of signs and helpful directions.

 

Underrated channel imo. He talks about the psychology of gaming, you guys should check it out!

Ok great! Glad it's not just me, hope it is fixed soon but I'm loving the experience so far.

Having been working around with a Raspberry Pi for my class, I can't imagine just randomly throwing mine somewhere without giving a care. Those bitches are too damn expensive 😂

 

Has anyone experienced this?

[–] mathlad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Put it in a bank earning 4% interests and live off of it for the rest of my life. Yeah I'm a simple man.

 

What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy
