Right?!? I didn’t think anyone else loved Slide. I’m so damned excited!!

The slide for Lemmy makes me sooo happy. My mouth is hanging open and I’m just… I cannot freaking wait!! Thank you 🙏

I understand why I should care about encryption, in theory. In practice, 90% of the time, I don’t. If I’m texting my kids ‘hey where are you?’ or my husband: what do you want for dinner?’ or a friend, ‘hey, come hang out!’ - I just don’t care. And putting up with all the hassles that come with encryption via matrix… It’s just, generally, far more hassle than it’s worth, IMHO.

Honestly, if Ubuntu hadn’t pushed snaps so damned hard, I’d probably still be running Ubuntu. I don’t hate them. But… They’re just obnoxious. Honestly, I wish Flatpaks and Appimages weren’t pushed so hard on other distros too. But, such is life.

It’s also what creates a ton of bugs and problems, both for users and developers. People hate on Gnome for being very standard without a lot of config options, but it makes a ‘standard’ Gnome desktop possible in a way that just doesn’t exist for KDE.

True. The problem with that, is that Microsoft pays to have windows installed. Such that it’s actually cheaper to buy a system with windows and delete it than to buy one with Linux preinstalled.

It’s also very hard, if not impossible in some cases to find old conversations on discord, vs forums where they’re mostly preserved for eternity.
