Maybe, but chances are it’ll get taken down in the next few days

Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Frugal Usenet works great for me

And carpel in the middle there

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox

I’ll take her, it’s freezing cold where I live now

Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂

I don’t know your use case, but I’m less skilled with computers than you (I’m currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually

Join a smaller instance. You can still see posts on lemmy.world, and you might find a niche you’re interested in in the process

Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own

Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I’ve never looked back

I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬

When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn’t copy my mp3s over, and that’s the last time i ever bought an apple product

Yeah I don’t see the problem here

My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.

I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.
