I will do what I want. If you don’t like it, you can leave.

Linux isn’t on topic.

It’s literally about Windows.

Do you see a post about the PS5 and start talking about the SNES?

Ps3 controllers literally just work on Windows without any sketchy drivers. Same with ps4 and ps5.

Printers literally just work. I bought a Brother, and windows 11 automatically found it.

Sounds like you should be up to date before commenting.

I would love to know which software is Linux only.

I can’t handle how fucking obsessive this website is about one singular topic. You guys are a broken record. You never shut the fuck up about Linux.

And Linux doesn’t work with a ton of stuff. I have a ton of hardware that only works on Windows, I have a ton of software that only works on Windows with 0 Linux alternatives…

I mean shit, even PAID DaVinci Resolve doesn’t have AAC audio support on Linux, while it’s in the free version on Windows.

I’m also not sure what you mean by longer support for old hardware? Windows has crazy good support for legacy hardware. I can plug my steering wheel from 1997 into my windows 11 PC and it just works.

Windows literally has code in the kernel specifically to fix bugs with older games.

But ya. Linux is better. That’s why my wifi drivers, sound drivers, video drivers, trackpad drivers, don’t work, and I have to spend a week trying to fix it.

You literally didn’t read before speaking.

There’s 0 security loss. Everything is on device. They reverse engineered iMessage and your device is seen as an iPhone to Apple.

Perhaps read before speaking?

I’m confused. Who even uses FakeFilter? And whatever websites do use it, most people probably won’t use anyway lol

Welcome to the future of Lemmy. The amount of people I see here that complain about ads, but also refuse to open their wallet, is most.

By comparison Lemmy has 30,000 active users and steadily dropping.

It’s actually pretty funny how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be. All I see is positive comments about how Lemmy is so great and growing, and Twitter is dead! Meanwhile it’s the opposite. Twitter is still very much alive, and Lemmy is becoming a small cul-de-sac echo chamber.

My Lemmy app lets me tag people, which I use to tag people who are rude to others, nice to me, helpful, racist, etc, just so I can remember who was nice and who wasn’t nice to interact with, and I literally see the same handful of people in every thread, and the front page of “everything” is filled with the same people making every thread.

Same with Reddit. We all thought Reddit was dead, and, well… it isn’t. Some days I really regret getting IP banned for shilling out Lemmy. Plenty of communities I really miss from Reddit that just simply won’t work on Lemmy, because of how Lemmy is so FOSS centric.

Because while the concept isn’t too difficult to understand once it’s explained to you, it’s not easy as going to “Mastodon and signing up”.

The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username (for example, you can’t just say “omg check out Jack Froth on Mastodon! He’s so funny!”, because where? What instance? Who is it?

Not to mention Mastodon, much like Lemmy, dropped the ball hard when it came to onboarding during the peak interest. When you downloaded the app, you had to manually type in your instance, username, and password, which you had to go to an instance in your web browser to sign up for first.

Now Mastodon gives you the option to sign up like a regular app and it’ll pick a default server for you. Way more friendly, but no one cares, because they already have the bad confusing taste in their mouth.

Then comes the community. Twitter is extremely toxic, but somehow Lemmy and Mastodon are worse. I know a few people I follow have recently discussed wanting to leave Mastodon because the Mastodon community attacks them, saying they don’t want them there, because they have a successful YouTube channel. The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users, and FOSS users can be really… particular.

I’ve been attacked on both Lemmy and Mastodon because I made some pro-windows comments. It’s pretty exhausting. The hard pill to swallow is that the fediverse isn’t accepting and isn’t kind towards “normal” people.

Pretty much every messenger I know is different. That one straight up looks like WhatsApp, down to the colour scheme and background.

Is that because they just aren’t making them because no one can afford them?

I just paid $18,000 for an 8 year old base model Jeep Patriot with 210K.

Car market is fucked.
