  • PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

    Jump

  • I don't care how big .world gets because it's the same thing with mastodon.social or pixelfed.social. Coming from primarily centralized services, people will always be looking for a "main" instance because that's what their brains are used to and that's what will help adoption. The ones who care will use another instance. As long as fedi has the users and not the proprietary alternatives, it's fine. We can manage.

  • I hate that Pixelfed isn't good enough to capture these users and I say this as someone who uses it over Instagram.

    From the what I've seen (and I have been watching fairly closely), I think Pixelfed and the stretched-too-thin-can't-prioritize-and-somewhat-monarchial dev himself might just need more time to cook. I still have hope in him and his projects but I won't be holding my breath again. If good shit happens, it happens. And I do hope it happens because it should've been Pixelfed in this article like Mastodon was with Twitter or Lemmy with Reddit. Not whatever this new corp that came out of nowhere is.

  • Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

  • I choose to privately self-host open source AI models and stuff on Linux. It's almost like technology is a tool and corps are the ones fucking things up. Hmmm, imagine that.

  • It's time to move to Linux - YouTube

    Jump

  • I spent too much time with corpo brain rot to give linux a chance on desktop and realize it's how I'd always imagined proper computing would be. It changed my outlook on the world when I finally did and it's liberating (much libre. Very wow). Glad to see more and more people catching on to the possibility of a better future.

  • World's most popular search engine, video platform, mobile OS, browser engine, email provider, map provider, shall I go on? Search results at this point are just becoming an astrix.

    They're trying to suck up and present as much data as possible so people never have to leave Google's services. They want to be the internet. If you enabled people to be independent, private, decentralized, and open, then Google would be in trouble because suddenly individuals and communities would have all the power and data, not some corp that's hellbent on wasting your lifespan and brain space with ads or whatever other garbage decision they make on Tuesday to make their line go up.

  • It's not going to get better. I nuked 10 and switched to Linux permanently around the Windows 11 launch. My only regret is not switching sooner, like around Windows 8 times.

  • The Toilet Theory of the Internet: Google is serving an audience that wants quick and easy results. That may lead to disaster.

    Jump

  • There's a pattern of belief among the rich and powerful that is basically like, "people don't actually know what they want. They think they do but what they actually want is different, even if they don't recognize it." When they say "this is what you want" they think they're giving us the thing we actually want. They believe what they're saying.

    I find that to be equal parts fascinating and terrifying.
