I expect the usage of VPNs in Texas to skyrocket exponentially in the next couple of months.

Women are!

My phone is new…

My point is just that Lemmy is no longer made up of just Linux nerds. Over the course of the last couple of years the user base has diversified quite a bit.

I understand that this information is already basically public but there is a thin barrier to the average nitwit user accessing such information and going in a rampage screwing with people who have downvoted them. I’ll say this, if they make it more public I think I will just simply stop voting. I will continue to use Lemmy but only as a passive user.

Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

After the meltdown that occurred when Reddit ultra monetize their API Lemmy acquired a lot more casual users. Especially when makers of Reddit apps switched over to making Lemmy apps instead.

Authoritarian governments never allow themselves to be temporary. Generally speaking, they usually have to be forcibly removed.

Cause was Nvidia drivers.

This should be on a t-shirt

Was I the only one who read “power hungry” and “mods” separately and thought it fit with how reddit is run these days? I.E. the owners of the site are power hungry. I mean, the mods are too but they don’t hold a candle to the owners or reddit.

I’m actually gearing up to convert all of my Windows machines to Linux once the updates for 10 stop coming. This will be especially easy once the new WINE gets integrated and the few windows game apps that I use can run well on Linux.

Not to mention I find it doubtful we’re going to see his face…like it all. I mean, it’s fucking Doctor Doom.

They said $100,000,000 not $100,000. With $100 million you could start 10 companies easily and still end up profitable if even one of them hits paydirt.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this one. 😂

It’s really not uncommon at all. That was just the first article that popped up on a Google search. Here’s the second:

Wait, you don’t want to come to my mosquito farm and pet the skeeters???

You can even play with the baby skeeters in the huge brackish water pond in the back! It’s completely free of predators!

I laughed 😂

Well, let’s unpack this thought then.

Pigs (you know, the animal that bacon actually comes from) mostly live off of human waste (aka garbage). They are the origin of the H1N1 virus (also known as the flu) and when not contained they are considered absolute pests.

How are they different than mosquitos again?

Year? Try fucking days. LoL, 🤣

Well this is the funny thing that has occurred in the last 24 hours. I have been playing about with basic Ubuntu and I installed Wine on it. But when I tried to come up with a Microsoft dependent application to test it out on I came to the realization that there are no applications that I use that are exclusive to Microsoft. Nearly everything I use is either web-based or has a Linux port.

Hell, even MS Office is web based nowadays. I think Windows truly has become obsolete, or at least out moded. That is for casual desktop users such as myself. There may be enterprise programs out there that still rely on Windows architecture.

Edit: P.S. the Ubuntu was really just a test for the machine I will be working with. I think I’m likely gonna stick Mint on it and give that a try after a new hard drive arrives for it later this week.
