@nanoUFO Honestly, I am considering picking one up for Starfield, depending on how they perform there. I’m sure their Linux support isn’t incredible, but Nvidia also has a lot of issues on Linux and I’ve been running my 1060 for years now.

I’m sure we can all agree this is at best incredibly misguided and at worst a sign of the further reactionary slide in India.

@darylsun I’m just going to go back to having a cronjob that downloads all my favourite YouTube channels to my jellyfin server. No ads, no deleted videos.

I mean the thing that still trips me up the most is that social media and phones still takes away from other tech stuff that I’d enjoy doing more. When I was younger I used to play a lot of Game Boy Advance and then later PSP. Once I got a phone it became just that little bit more difficult to focus on just enjoying playing games!

@darylsun It’s terrible that it feels so hard to *stop* doing something like this when you’re a creative individual who wants to promote their work. It feels like there’s always this pressure to be promoting your art or else you’re not going to get anywhere with it. It’s exhausting feeling like this is *how* you’re supposed to interact with the internet.

@sexy_peach The day that my phone becomes user-hostile is the day that I drop it to pick up something more open like a PinePhone. I’ve gone through the headaches of using FOSS stuff before it was ready for prime time before and I can do it again.

@anders @memes ideal website. No notes.

@shreddy_scientist Honestly really glad I switched to Gnome a few months ago. Finally got tired of the uber-tinkery i3wm and wanted something that just worked and Gnome filled it perfectly. Now that Gnome 44 has added proper support for killing background apps I’m honestly very happy with how usable it all is. Can’t wait to see what they do next.

@lonelyranger Seeing everyone on my timeline begging for Bluesky invites is what actually finally convinced me to delete my Twitter. Really tired of people wanting a new and different social media experience but then only actually getting excited for a return to the status quo.

@ksynwa I think it’s just because so much of the open source community really went for it after one of the biggest IRC chats fell apart. Matrix was there at the right time to pick up the pieces AND the audience that gravitated towards it were exactly the techy types that most commonly latch on to Federated stuff in the first place.

@ada @cyclohexane Hopefully they open it up soon, I’m impressed by how many people are over there.

@ch0ccyra1n @KelsonV The interoperability is really cool! I’m doing the same thing, it’s nice to be able to dip my toes into Lemmy without an account yet!

@ksynwa I think Matrix has more users (~64 million) than the Fediverse (~13 million).
