You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!

What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.

What a sad day to lose someone like that.

Agreed with this.

A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.

Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.

I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.

I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?

Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me

I found that so curious in Tokyo, even some hole-in-the-wall food shops would use the ticket system when the attendant is standing right next to the ticketing machine!

But, it is ubiquitous over there.

Weirdest thing I saw over there was deep fried sparrows.

Or the garden shop I went into had a (poor thing) monkey in a large cage who jacked off furiously and threw it at me.

Oh Tokyo, from one extreme to the other!

Me too, going to look into this one!

It is the techical help that hurts the most. Raspberry Pi, Linx and Steam Deck are the big ones I find help for on Reddit.

But to be fair it just encourages me to search harder elsewhere, or better yet forces me to tinker more myself to find the solutions.

Regardless, it is a wealth of users that the users have given for free for so long.

SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone make me realise when I watch something on my Xbox just how bad regular viewing can be

Isn’t this Pop-OS’s thing? Being literally for the gamers on Linux?

the Flirc case for Raspberry Pi

Can’t recommend it enough!

Its strange, bought it when it came out (a couple months after maybe?) when stock was no issue.

But recently I saw those stock issues and yep, feeling lucky!

Have got a SSD for that, thanks!

Oh I remember that feature when it was ‘coming soon’, and never actually using it. Perfect opportunity to use it. Thanks for the reminder!

I’m done.

The subs I moderated have either gone dark, or are going dark in the next ciuple days.

And with that I let the mod teams I was a part of know that I am moving on. I hate what reddit did to the community, and my time feels better spent where it will be appreciated.

Hahahahahhahahah, wouldn’t miss it for the world. But being admins, I imagine it won’t be fairly represented.

I’ll see you there, though!

Will you close your accounts?

I’m quite torn. The various gaming subs I mod have great teams, and are generally great communities. I legit feel like I am doing them a disservice by stepping down and closing accounts at the end of the month.

But doing the work for a company who has no regard for the reason it is a success stings more than the feeling I’ll be abandoning some teams of passionate individuals.

I love the ‘old’ feeling of the internet on here. What I miss from forums in the '90’s. I feel like this is the best decision.

But actions speak louder than words. They don’t deserve users who they abuse.

Well I’m done.

Warned the mod teams in the various subs I mod that I won’t be back after the 30th. It’s sad because I feel I am letting them down, but the knowledge I’ve gained from various communities and posts there isn’t worth the price now.

Well that was amazing! Here’s on for you in return
