Is most IRC’s chatroom active nowadays? I have been meaning to try other alternatives to Discord but always find them to be very hit and miss

Beside the triggers, I really did like the Steam controller. My favourite is the touchpad which makes noises which I associated with Fallout which is oddly pleasing to hear

I mean, I have seen online of people playing older Windows games on Linux, Steam Deck especially. Even though it most likely not as huge market compared to [insert new game], there’s still fair share people that would buy the old game, even if it may be troublesome to run especially on Windows 10/11.

Refusing to use social media like Snapchat, Instagram & Twitter. Major downside is my generation is mostly using them so I know fewer Zoomers on the Fediverse but honestly, I would take that over me comparing my body to guy’s fitness picture and feeling insecure about it. Also, I barely interact with people I know in my high school and I to some extent, wish to be forgotten from them. Some really have messed with my mental health, that’s all I will say.

What if we made a distro called Doors as a replacement for windows, but don’t call it a distro? We don’t even call it Linux. We just called it Doors.

So basically what Google did with ChromeOS? (Being quiet that it just a Linux distro) Yeah, no. I prefer distro that is transparent that it is Linux and doesn’t try to make out or as vocal that their still a Linux distro.

• “Normies” as I associate people who use that word a lot to be pretentious.
• “Lolcow” which has history of Kiwi Farm user using that word to describe someone and cyberbully as well as dox them.
• “Chav” as I feel classist to still use that term but as someone that’s both working-class and lives in a rough area in UK, it hard to not describe some people as that term as christ… they are aggressive, homophobic and transphobic.

• BlockTube: Allows you to block YouTube Channels and Video as using “Do Not Recommend Channel” doesn’t exactly work
• Bitwarden - Loves the auto-fill feature
• uBlacklist - More easier to block URL result on various search engine. Only use it as I can’t be arsed tried to learn how to manually make filter on uBlock and want something that I can block Daily Mail on my search with just a click. It’s just the job done so happy to use it.

1. Lack of granular privacy / profile control

I mean, Lemmy is based on Reddit which you publicly discuss a topic. I’m not sure how having options to create a comment private benefits Lemmy at all unless you can give me a reason.

2. Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity

To be fair on Lemmy, it is still new in compassion to Reddit so there would be as fewer communities compared to Reddit. If you don’t mind being a moderator, you can always create a community which I can see some Lemmings would like to join.

3. Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities

I won’t lie, it does confused me a bit as I tend to try at least find one that’s more active and post from there. Also, it runs by different moderators which some their decision you may not be fond of so at least you have the same topic of the community but on different instance.

8. Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality

Read my opinion at point 2, think that pretty relevant. But yes, I agree there’s lot of US-Based news and lucky for me, there’s both an Lemmy instance and community for people in Britain (I’m born there) so it’s nice reading news from my own country beside how incompetent Keir Starmer is.

The best if you want is following World News community or make one for whatever country you’re in and try advertised it on Lemmy (please don’t spam it on random threads, that won’t be cool.)

Nope, they was abusive and controlling to me. I’m glad I did dump them via texts

I have low self-esteem and that’s from just people been shitty to me. I could go on but I don’t want to trauma dump (at least, try to prevent myself from doing it).

That being said, I’m planning to get therapy, go to more social events if I have the energy to do so and maybe next year, try get back to swimming. I stopped around when I was in lockdown in 2020 and I forgot about it since.

I can’t imagine the alternative be less stretchy compared to Pornhub, not that Pornhub isn’t a sketchy site in the first place

but I’m not sure USB-C output exists.

Not that I’m aware of, no. It’s either HDMI or (if you getting the older Blu-ray player) one has Composite or Component output.

Now I’m also questioning the need of BluRay/image upgrade, as it shouldn’t be too expensive.

You can always get it second-hand which would be cheaper than getting it new and make sure you don’t connect to the internet.

Also as someone that has BluRay player, I prefer BluRay over DVD disc for it being in HD and also, it can still play DVDs. If you already have BluRay collection or don’t mind spending a bit to get it on that format, go for it.

They made “datapack” which is a way of playing with mods without having to use third-party mod loaders like Forge and Fabric but (don’t quote me on this as I’m not a mod developer) it’s not as powerful compare to the mod loaders.

I personally prefer Lemmy Instances to be more personalised based on whatever theme/topic than a “one size, fits all”. For example I’m on Lemmy.blahaj.zone which while is more for trans femme & trans women, I’m on it has it’s queer-friendly. There used to be Lemmy instance for Autistic people which I remember was nice but it was shamed it got closed down.

Seeing same community name but on different instances is little overwhelming and I tend to post or use one that seems more active. I’ll understand if that community in question has a moderator that does not great decision (like going too heavy on banning users or not doing anything about the bad-actors on that community) but otherwise, it just feels crowded and I had to spend couple minute to decide if a post I will make there will get as much attention compare to the other one.

I doubt you can really buy those TVs anymore without it being a “Smart” TV. The best you can do is disable the Internet Connection on your TV. I have heard couple people suggesting commercial TV but I’m not too sure how great they would be for gaming and more made for well… staying on most the time, inside at a shop.

Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.

Be able to have the patient to try to understand me and both of us look out for each other. Also, not being condescending but that is a bare minimum which sadly, not everyone follows. /:

though I occasionally play Fortnite with my son

Just an FYI, Fortnite isn’t supported on Linux so if you still want to dabble with Linux, maybe give a try dual-booting.

I remember someone on Discord server I used to be on kept telling people to “use Linux” which back then, I thought it was some scary OS for people who’s tech savvy and wrote him off to be annoying. It was few years when I have my own laptop as early birthday present that I find Windows 10 annoying and remembered Linux exist so I run up a virtual machine and watch so many videos on YouTube about it. Then, I made USB-Boot and installed Linux Mint.

Far from perfect but I feel so much more comfortable using Linux over Windows, feels so much more smoother
