There were a bunch of smaller social media platforms I’ve been on around 2016 that did the separation for age and it usually just ended up with 18- marking themselves as 18+ and vice versa. I can’t remember the name for it. I think one was called teen network or something. And the other one was a mobile app with a blue target logo.

Good idea on paper, an absolute disaster in practice. Seen it tried before and it was a mess

It’s common on some other larger platforms too. I see the same people across multiple YouTube channels sometimes.

I start instance surfing. I go into federated instance lists and just pick a random one to explore.

Not bad. It’s normal to have alts on any social media platform

Create your own instance, defedrate, profit.

You first. ಠ⁠ ⁠ل͟⁠ ⁠ಠ

Here is what I gathered:

Switching to Linux mainly motivated by privacy, security, flexibility, and performance.

The writer also supports Linux as a community-driven alternative to large corporations.

The author views dual booting as beneficial for resale value, software gaps, and gaming compatibility.

The Linux installation used was Nobara, though it had its own challenges.

The writer’s extensive experience with Linux dates back to the late '90s.

The Linux community’s condescending and elitist attitudes are viewed as a drawback.

The writer chose Nobara Linux due to its functionality and fewer roadblocks compared to other distributions.

The performance and user experience of Nobara Linux is generally superior to Windows 11, though there are issues like Bluetooth lag and system freeze. Gaming on Steam is generally favorable, though there are minor issues with certain games.

KDE is praised for its functionality and features, especially KDE Connect for multimedia transfers. Minor issues with accessing certain file types and RGB lighting preferences are noted.

Interesting experiment though. I’d like to see how this plays out.

It asks for password on brave browser. Seems like a browser setting issue.

Edit: I use latest Linux mint.

I contacted every company that makes their software for windows and macos for my keyboards and other peripherals asking them to port it to Linux.

Just wish the customization software actually existed for my peripherals.

I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

I gave up on compiling yad. It won’t install otherwise.

That’s great (⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠)

I had a rough time getting mo2 to work properly. Mods were installed but didn’t modify the game. And it would vary with launches. Sometimes it would work. Sometimes not.

Team red ftw

I think its because a lot of this stuff is faster to do through command line. And people developing GUI tools are ones that are already good at CLI so they might not understand why a graphical tool might be needed and then ones that do, start learning CLI to program a tool and on the way might realize it’s just easier to console. Kinda where I’m at. Plus if there are many of the same tool it might vary in GUI and when giving someone instructions it’s easier to just say the command to type than to cover every possible variation of GUI environment. That’s my take on this.

Like which? Just curious just in case I come across those.

Wild. That’s very useful.
