Just now seeing your comment. I was using Nobara my monitors just freeze as in become completely unresponsive and it was entirely random. And there was a keyboard combo that was designed to fix it and that didn't work then the community's answer was, "we don't know."
To me the Linux systems are great but the community acts as if people shouldnjust switch without a second thought then get rally together when someone says, "I am having issues and don't understand." The Linux community then almost always proceeds to say, "did you try Googling it?" What would the person even know to Google if they don't even know entirely what they are facing and when Linux issues get involved you are deep diving into Terminal and bash commands and most people barely understand how a Driver in Windows works or how to uninstall it. Then the response from the sake community is, "well clearly your the issue." Its just odd to sell something the community won't really assist with but then get offended when someone doesn't want to switch.
While there are channels that do some hardware hacking like breaking the firmware on Alarmo or Car Thing. I wish there were less laws on sponsorship and it was normalized to show hardware hacks and firmware bugs and open sourcing some exploits and so we would see it more often rather than hearing about it as a talk at a conference and that companies would partner or work with the extremely intelligent people capable of figuring such things out to improve the security of their products for average citizens.
Seeing a channel that could show you a regular every day smart product, console, or just a kids toy being hacked would be a regular in my book.
It doesn't. I don't think much thought should be put into this shitty Lemmy circle jerk post.
However, I think the joke is that all users on Reddit are "educated' as in if you are on Reddit you believe you are a professional on everything.
However, Lemmy is no different. It's a "not like other girls" kind of post. People on Lemmy think they are different because they aren't maim stream so therefore they are more educated because they can point out others that think they are educated and use Reddit.
However, I think if you take every article you read and turn it into, "meanwhile I am waiting for someone to fix the planer." You are not really doing much. All of us, including myself, want what you want but those are things that are irrelevant to this article and we should take to things that are relevant.
Fuck fascism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and anything else that is down right degrading to any human being who is just trying to be happy
In the same vain though, fuck hornets, fuck those little murderous monstrosities.
As someone who uses both. I think Mastodon also just doesn't have the users, it is not as easy to setup and I think understanding instances and its UI are less user friendly.
I use both Mastodon and BlueSky and I don't really care for platforms like Twitter. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are good in their own ways but I think BlueSky is user friendly. Easy to setup looks super similar to Twitter, easier to navigate.
Plus, I have heard about it pretty much everywhere. It is commonly compared to Threads. I only know and heard about Mastodon on Lemmy.
I am always a little surprised that everyone is surprised as if people are intentionally avoiding Mastodon.
I like Mastodon but it is empty by comparison to BlueSky people want a social media app where there are people to talk to on quantities. BlueSky is also user friendly by comparison, IMO. Easier to setup.
"Well Mastodon would be busier if people would stop going anywhere else."
No one is avoiding Mastodon I think it is odd it has never occurred to anyone that BlueSky is talked about way more. I had never heard Mastodon before Lemmy but I saw talks of BlueSky everywhere.
The commenter forgot Republicans were saying they would rather be Russian than Democrats. The commenter also forgot that Russia doesn't run on a democratic system.
Can't wait for the supporters to come out and gas light buyers instead: "uh, well of course they couldn't. He didn't lie you just don't understand tech...!
I work in IT and people that think like that can fuck themselves. "What do you mean Meta lied by selling your data to a company you didn't know about. Maybe you should just have never trusted Meta."
Its sure as hell is a stupid threatening way to put it.
He could have said something far more professional like, I don't know:
"She constantly wants to go to war but she doesn't understand what that is really like. Put her in the boots of a soldier and see how she holds up and maybe she would have some empathy."
Fuck Trump, he can't even speak like an adult or form a proper statement. There are so many ways this could have been executed in a professional manner. It is a threat regardless of you and the 25+ upvotes. The projection here is this is how a from of punishment for this kind of thing is seen in his world view.
By the way, he also knows jack shit about being in a war or being a soldier. Why don't we also put him in a military uniform and put him on the frontlines. This is fucking Trump just being fucking Trump.
People want to socially interact on a platform with the intention of letting you socially interact. I understand Mastodon intends to do the same thing as.BlueSky so the question is why is BlueSky more.popular.
As someone who uses both. Mastodon's UI and signup process is not as straight toward at least that is my personal reason why.
