im still in disbelief when i like a game, i get it, and it runs like im running on deshittified windows, im like wtf i cant believe we made it every single time.

yeah you use lemmy pretty much the same way i do although im not that into star trek just yet. but im a commie linux nerd so that must count for some lemmy street cred?

i do browse by all but holy furries, man. i’m looking for a buried comm i can come to sperg out on and ressurrect.

lets contribute more to them! a federated model in this world of ours will be much better for us than facebook and twitter and google so id love to nurture some kickass comms in here! id love to see it genuinely replace reddit even with the bad that will come with it too.

do you like any of the small ones? which ones? i wanted to be actually necessary when posting to one so i havent yet but i want to find the right one i can spam with stuff i love.

its a bad sign when 4chan feels more welcoming than your site

i think the only upside about reddit right now is that you can limit yourself to the subs you like and be mostly free of the bullshit (yet)

so are we okay with banning development time donated to foss because of nationality?

are these people found to support heinous shit or is this just wartime shenanigans?

i do, (contemporary, us) sanctions are a way to punish entire countries for daring not to adopt neoliberalism.

i wonder how cuba would be doing right now if not for it.

thanks for the answer. it really helps to understand whats happening when I notice this stuff. id like to be better at it, where can i start in an approachable way?

also how do we even defend from it?

i think lemmy is already the niche community. small comms over here usually turn out to be empty.

ill let you guys exchange them in peace anyway, maybe some of them get a boost.

code in some mothballs if its gonna be unmantained for a while. thats like programming 101

china russia and others are able to manufacture and maintain military helicopters.

just dont see why they would ever do business with the taliban?

aye lets just keep putting up with ever increasing bullshit instead of going through mild discomfort once to get used to a new os.

i heard apple has a huge marketing budget though. lets all switch to apple im sure it will be better and that no other viable alternative exists.

and what do random developers have to do with a war between oligarchies? are we banning the dirty us imperialists next, because they do more damage than russia ever will?

or are we finding a negative thing about every nationality and ban international opensource collaboration entirely?

or, and hear me out on this one, the individual programmers making linux and 90% of the internet happen might not be fascists regardless of what shitty government reingns their lives?

thanks, proprietary licenses.

can we finally move to open standards now or will these fucks keep on losing money just to spite foss? are they that afraid we read some of their source code?

and an all-snap packaging system

talk about an unexpected overlap

i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.

i exhaled some water through my nose

this is pretty much my one problem with ubuntu, and it taints the entire experience tbh. its first time in years i dont look forward to updating because ill have to yank out snaps and figure out how to de-migrate my stuff back to flatpak.

oh heres a new name for my blocklist

well when you put it that way im sold on that one.
