Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.

The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.

So is Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, and even iTerm.

The README’s About section[0] sheds no light on what sets Ghostty apart from the competition, while using vague terms and marketing hyperboles.

Thank you for sharing your workflow.

This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
2. What do you do with the videos after watching?

It has been well over a decade since a movie starring Superman came on the big screens.*

I am going to remain optimistic, and wait for the proper trailer to form full opinions, but I do agree that the teaser could have shown more of that optimism that James Gunn is talking about in his interviews.

*There have been movies which featured the character but always detrimentally sidelined him for a shinier toy (Batman, JL, etc.)

I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

Pentium II and 160MB RAM are plentiful, and it is no surprise that NetBSD is a breeze to use on it.

I got NetBSD running on a ThinkPad 760XD (Pentium MMX, 32MB RAM) which I revived around last summer, and it works just fine. Though running emacs on it is not a smooth experience with my configuration loaded, but it runs well vanilla. With enough tweaking, it can be a capable writing machine, especially with its flip-up keyboard.

The blog post is really good and insightful. I have never considered connecting aforementioned machine to the internet, but I think I might do it after reading this post just to try out Dillo.

Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.

I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made. I still have not found Mastodon intuitive to use daily as I find Lemmy.

The link isn’t operational.

The comments here are really reinforcing the stereotypes about Lemmy.

Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.

Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.

That is a very astute observation, and I would not worry about the temporary decline for this very reason.

Also, looking at your username… ”can somebody please find Margot Robbie so that I can make sense of all this”

OP has used Ask the Audience lifeline, which has been anecdotally quite accurate.

Going by the comments, this is one of those instances where the audience is unable to arrive on a consensus. :D

This meme is from an older time when all of this was true.

For all the people here commenting here about macOS updates being free forever, I guess they haven’t really used the OS long enough.

Should the meme be updated before it is eventually reposted? Yes. But should it misinform people? No.
