Threads app today is flooded with tons of obviously false news posts about Zuckerberg and Meta like zuck is dead, zuck is gay, zuck is californian arsonist, zuck sold meta, zuck is trans - all kinds of nonsense shit people posting, with pictures, because okay yeah, the US doesn’t need fact checking so lets blow it up through the roof then.

And its the perfect response to Meta’s bending the knee and bootlicking.

C64: Elite. the game is my personal number one as I played only Elite constantly for a long time, despite all other games available for C64.

Amiga: Chaos Engine, Transarctica.

486: Elite Frontier, Descent, Descent II.

so if it probably affects only a small number of specific hw platforms, you cannot state fedora as “now wait 40 seconds” distro.

i’m also not using the tmd chip, no issues.

an S3 Trio card.

looks like black metal logo.

same here, same time period. everything works. one have to be aware there’s no adobe or autodesk and linux is not windows same as osx is not, and it will not look or behave as windows. beside specific issues for some users, for me it works flawlessly.

one thing cannot grasp is willingness of so many to dual boot.

intel+amd, fedora gnome wayland, zero issues.

so you have to decide: you want websites inside their own window with a nice icon, or you want to get ridd of ads.

if the first is imperative to you, the choice is simple. watch ads.

it would be cool if Brian S reads this now and PM you after all these years.

several years ago main road on my way to work was closed for a month. alternative routes was bad and worse, so i reluctantly ditched car and tried cycling instead because cycling route was okay, hoping i will somehow handle that one month.

quickly realized i’m rather enjoying cycling, month passed and i didn’t event thought about getting back in a car. i’m cycling ever since. commuting to and from work, cycling recreatively, doing 100km rides all around the area and the country, joined a club, enjoying every bit of cycling which makes me happy.

the road maintenance overall changed me, led me to find something that fullfills me, breaks down the stress, make me happy, change my mindset and made me be more active.

the “convicted felon” is the only nicknane people should use for him, though.

fuck, this is accurate. i recognized myself in everything you wrote. (age 50ies)

Switched to Niagara after Nova was bought off, but lately using the KISS launcher which does the job similar to Niagara when configured, and it’s FOSS.

Lawnchair is quite basic.

updated glibc already pushed to fedora repos.

same thing happened to me. talked about very specific health-related topic, didn’t googled it or anything, the next day instagram came up with ads for the very same specific health subject.

for a start, you can check instagram’s permissions (and facebook of you use it, it’s meta too) and disable access to microphone.

however, that leaves whatsapp which is also meta and mic is more of a neccesity than insta/fb, but in my case, haven’t seen weird ads for subjects i didn’t typed into any devices since i disabled insta mic access.

card almost exclusively. local bakery or similar small shops doesnt work with cards and only do cash, so sometimes i have to work that way, but otherwise its card only.

welcome back. not all but most of us had moment in time when something was trigger to return back to firefox, making it the new browsing-home and enjoying it since.

word was that most of other instances on .ml top level domain had free domains, which the government took away, while lemmy.ml was paid domain and not a free one, so it’s still alive. but we’ll see.

in worst case they will migrate current server and config to another domain.

habit and practice. op himself said he believes gimp can do wonders, but he’s migrating from adobe and is accustomed to photoshop’s shortcuts, ui and workflow.

imho, people go wrong expecting same experience in different application. yes, gimp works very differently but when migrating, one should count on different ui and logic. afterall, ps also have learning curve in the start and none complains.

it’s similar to users migrating from windows to linux, expecting same windows ui and workflow, blaming linux bad.
