This is fair, and might advertise a bit just how expensive Windows still is.

Have other companies been doing this before, I’ve heard of Dell selling Linux laptops but not sure if they’re cheaper.

Definitely!

I feel like Lemmy is a worthwhile future for forums and more.

Fair, I was referring to the referenced issue in the comments on this post.

What was surprising to me, is that there were many comments, and mentions of devs, yet no acknowledgment or getting linked to another issue.

That is a red flag to me.

Gotta make sure they have an ankle monitor smart watch!

They just closed the issue without even acknowledging it, lol

Gotta say spring, summer has been getting a little too hot and most of my life I’ve not had AC. I’ve got bad memories trying to sleep with the heat in an “attic”-style bedroom.

Would it now then be possible to subscribe to a Ghost blog from here, or would some additional integration need to be made?

Curious if there’s an example of a Ghost blog interacting with the wider fediverse.

This is a blast from the past

Honestly I don’t mind additional standards.

But I’m weary of: “does it really matter?”. As I’m sure just about everyone would prefer their data isn’t used, and it’s not the question that people care about.

Instead: How would anything like this be enforced, and by who?

Hmm, how would that work?

I assume if an ad is just trying to track what websites you visit often, this would not work 100% of the time, as they would still get your IP if a request went towards the advertiser, or am I misunderstanding how it works.

This is a stunning experience, and teaches you something at the same time.

Works perfectly fine on mobile, too!

People still want to see people.

And, of course, you can make more money when you force everyone to come in.

Thank you! Had the domain for a while, and now found the perfect use case for it :D

I feel like PeerTube only makes sense in the case of “I have the technical knowledge to host my own instance”

As indeed, I find it difficult to believe that any single “community”-instance will survive once it starts getting some traction. Hosting, maintaining and moderating such a platform would be extremely expensive if you have to do it for not only your own content.

Ease of access and user experience. A single platform beats that, as you don’t have to choose where to signup and everything will be available without effort.

However, Lemmy is getting better with that and hopefully the user base continues growing. It doesn’t need to have a billion users to be an awesome experience.

Ever since advertising became extremely intrusive, it’s been game over for them. I’d rather put effort into hiding the ads (Adblocker), switching browser if necessary (Chrome v3 bs) and switching platforms (Lemmy) then seeing them again.

Perfect idea!

Let’s improve the character building by requiring people to first setup their own Lemmy instance before they can join a larger one.

That surely will improve the amount of users here 😇

I completely agree!

Posting/commenting on Reddit largely feels like a waste of time to me if it’s not something big and attention grabbing. I would get zero people to interact for days, while on Lemmy I usually get a reply within a few hours if I have a question about a post.

Of course this isn’t evidence of anything, but I feel that it’s because Lemmy hasn’t been flooded with bots (yet? Hopefully never).

Didn’t we go through this already, and it just started telling fiction constantly?

Fixed! Now I noticed that the phone app doesn’t properly show the red squiggly lines 😅
