People who build their own PCs but run Windows baffle me. I find it confusing when people who build their own computers opt for Windows as their operating system. If you have the knowledge to assemble a computer, why not take advantage of the freedom that Linux provides? You can play games using Linux and enjoy a more open and customizable experience. Just saying... A picture of Baby Tux (Penguin)

    @nixCraft As a Linux user I find this sort of mentality reductive and unhelpful.
    Linux still has A LOT of valid issues even for technically minded folks that part of the community is happy to ignore or blame on someone else rather than challenging the gatekeepy status quo of some enthusiasts.

    @Patuleia @revk two people battling with light sabres, the sabres are crossed, the red sabre is a slash down from the left, the blue sabre is a slash up from the left.

    I'm trying to convince the last friends I have left on Facebook, X, Threads, or BlueSky to join the Fediverse. Some have tried but felt a sense of loneliness. Nowadays, many people are so used to doing what algorithms suggest that they can no longer make independent choices.
    My timeline here, on the other hand, is beautiful.
    I see what I want, I follow people who post what I like, and no one tells me what I should do. Freedom may come with a "cost," but whatever it is, it's worth the effort. Always.

    im going to treat it like any other email instance server. trust until they give me a reason not to, and then known contingencies can be implemented.

    News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to build a new agency to police Big Tech ( www.theverge.com )

    The bill, sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would create a new agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission that would be empowered to go after giant tech firms for a slew of anti-competitive behaviors and failing to protect consumer privacy.

    Nah.
    Firstly, you no longer can buy coins and awards. Three days ago they posted this:

    Starting today, you will no longer be able to purchase new coins, but all awards and existing coins will continue to be available until September 12, 2023.

    So currently they can not make any quick bugs with coins and awards as they no longer are buy-able.
    Additionally, since all coins/awards expire on that date, there is zero reason to get more. Right now you want to get rid of what you have, not stock up just so Reddit can delete your inventory of coins.

    This would be different if they announced some beneficial exchange rate for real money or their new system or kept coins you own available indefinitely (or at least way longer), which indeed would trigger some people to stock up "just in case I want to award someone later on".

    This is a clean cut, meant to renew the system by first tearing down the old one completely, without leaving anything in place, and then introducing something entirely new. I don't necessarily agree with their communication and deadlines but I don't think there is anything foul at work here. They just want a new system and follow their current trend of rushing everything.

    This article kinda makes me hope for reddit to survive. I want all the toxic, angry assholes to stay there, not desperately flee to the fediverse in search of their fix.

    Health data would be sourced from your fitness apps mostly. Many phones already have one built in(Fit with Google). Sleep trackers as well. Religion would be found on dating apps.

    Not saying they specifically will use those to get your info, but you said you never told you phone those things, so I'm just suggesting some ways you actually did.
