Had the opposite experience, tried Endevour first, must have done something wrong as it started running like ass/freezing up constantly requiring a full reboot to come back.

Swapped to bazzite and didn’t have that issue again, I did get to learn more about how to work with mutable distros too.

Ultimately didn’t matter much as that laptop died about a year later anyway, it won’t turn on at all anymore, good run of like 10 years tho.

My experience is most adults don’t know how to search the internet for information either lol.

Also I haven’t been in school for over a decade at this point, but the internet was ubiquitous and they didn’t teach shit about it, the classes that were adjacent (like game design) were run by a coach who barely knew how to work the macs we were forced to use.

Nor was critical thinking an important part of the teaching process, very rarely was the “why” explained, they’re just trying to get through all the material required to prepare you for the state tests which determine if you move onto the next grade.

Yeah, I just thought about my suggestion more and one thing I think that has given reddit so much staying power is the fact content sticks around so long, I’d imagine many of us here would specifically search in reddit for reviews or help with something and found a like 3 year old thread with the answer.

So… Pruning is probably a bad idea lol.

Unfortunately threadiverse searchability is pretty bad, assumedly because of the nature of the fediverse with content being copied across instances essentially I am sure its a little more difficult for an indexer to properly handle it, not to mention somehow deciding which instance to specifically link to for a certain thread. On top of that, it wouldn’t surprise me if all the corpo search engines would deprioritize most fediverse sites out of self preservation 🤷

On the “warming them up” that makes sense in theory, but usually if I’m making a rare post it’s to engage with a group of people, if I don’t see the engagement I’m probably not going to go there again to post whatever it is because what’s the point if no one sees it anyway?

In theory this is really cool, but unless you really get into a game and are willing to replay, it just feels bad as a player missing content because of a timer you didn’t know about.

Would it almost be better to prune old communities? I agree it’s off-putting to find community for an interest and seeing last activity like a year ago, doesn’t make you want to post since it seems inactive.

One thing about how reddit/lemmy works though is people subscribed (assumedly still active on Lemmy elsewhere) might still see that content vs a forum where no activity means very few visit the site.

Everything having connectivity is cool, I like automating stuff, the issue is it feeding all of your information to a company to profit off of it or worse.

I strongly relate to your experience, I am currently employed and basically doing my old job + learning devops/coding for our internal site.

I too have set up my own home NAS (proxmox with two computers running as nodes) with LXCs and a VM for HA. Have moved out of the cloud as much as possible and trying to cut ties to the major corporations wanting to profit off our data.

I am a leftist, nearly Marxist and work at a fucking financial institution that I hate because I have to make an income to help support us.

I wish so much I could work somewhere that aligned with my values, and want to quit so badly but I can’t leave us without my income for long and the job market sucks and it feels like learning coding/dev ops is a waste of time because of LLMs even though the evidence that they’re able to do the things claimed is non-existent (they’re helpful for sure but companies are seriously massively over-inflating their current capabilities and making stupid decisions because of it).

I want off this corporate bullshit ride.

I don’t disagree with that portion, but the actual software is good. Don’t get me wrong theres a LOT of shitty design decisions with Teslas, but again a lot of manufacturers seriously struggle with infotainment systems not being complete shit.

Do you have a “call police” button in your car now?

Have you ever actually used one? Been inside one?

I’ve heard tesla drivers complain about a lot of things but the infotainment console is far above what other manufacturers do. Thats not because it’s great, it’s because other manufacturers are just worse. 🤷

Check out home assistant sometime

3ds is really easy to softmod too, the problem is seemingly most of them have a weird orange/red tint issue on the screen these days

Made me think of this old song lol https://youtu.be/DwORzQxAXmU

I use a nvidia shield with adguard as my duck/dns server to block most of the tracking stuff, if you like android tv it’s good.

I have torrented off and on for about 18 years and only recently got invited to a private tracker, it seems like the biggest thing is that your ISP (and sites like I know what you downloaded) won’t see them because the groups that watch torrents don’t have access.

Funny, I remember being in middle school and getting detention for playing a RS private server called hackscape, clearly I was intending to hack the school.

Meanwhile I found the network drive and constantly deleted a bullys progress in our keyboarding course lmao, they never figured that one out.

What a benign comment to respond so strongly to lmao

I’ve been replaying Tenkaichi 2 lately
