The trending page is horrible on mastodon. I wish they’d implement some better discovery features, but the devs seem to think that a better user experience would mean they’re just as bad as twitter or something. I’m so rarely tempted to use it.

My cousin only gets the ugliest, most fucked up looking dogs, and I’ll never understand it

I hear that India is fun for parties and weddings, but also that it’s extremely dirty and a dangerous place to visit. I’m a man, but I especially wouldn’t want to be a white woman visiting, I’ve seen videos of how they’ll stare with no regard for how she feels - Indian men have a very poor reputation when it comes to how they act towards European/US women.

Lmfao SO many games that were never meant to run on Linux work perfectly well on my machine, some better than windows. He’s just throwing a hissy fit because Linux won’t allow kernel level malware - I mean anti-cheat. What a dickhead. Apex is a better game anyway.

Yeah I’m not arguing that deplatforming doesn’t work, I just think the highly improbable boat story is silly to even address.

Lol as much as this is a fun larp, and reddit did take too long to ban them, I’m not partial to taking random twitter/mastodon/<insert social media> discourse as gospel. I think it’s goofy when conservatives do it, and I think it’s goofy here.

Which is fine with me tbh because fuck sales. I’d never survive independently, because I’d tell the customer the truth. And the truth doesn’t sell. I don’t have the energy to lie about how everything is better than it actually is.

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

I just hope we get cross play before everyone gets tired of the game.

Probably not lol. Seems to me more along the lines of those folks copy/pasting the whole “I hereby claim that nothing on my Facebook can be used without my permission” on Facebook.

Lol

LMFAO oh yeah the reading is the problem, not the low-effort AI drivel. Dumbass take.

Oh my God why do I see this all the time on here. Nobody wants a massive copy/paste wall of text of whatever garbage chatGPT generated.

Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

Goddamn dude, you skipped millennial and jumped straight to that boomer mentality

I had almost no problems. Starting up plasma took longer than expected the first time, one widget was broken/out of date, and the bouncing activation animation on items on the taskbar isn’t working anymore (haven’t seen anyone else with this problem yet). Overall not too bad.

Tried, kept returning to Google for “real” searches

Part of it is that the people here have an air of superiority for being in the secret techie club lmfao. It’s as annoying and tribalistic as the stupid “what time does the narwhal bacon?” bullshit from early reddit. I also think the whole concept just attracts shut-in tech types who know a lot about privacy and Linux, but aren’t very good at the whole social thing.
