  • I don’t have any idea of who they are, but I don’t get it: we’re not preemptively defederating from Meta because it would be closed minded to do so (as per your admin decision), while Meta bad behavior is well documented (they’ve been fined by EU several times already), and we want to preemptively defederate from these people without even knowing how they will actually behave? Why? Shouldn’t they be “innocent until proven guilty”?

    Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo’s lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.

    We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there’s nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve’s stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.








  • The concept of having to compile something yourself is basically foreign to me

    There’s no need to, what software do you need that you can’t find on Mint repositories?

    having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous

    Having an app repository is way more secure than downloading software from random websites, it’s also way faster.

    But it’s fine if you don’t like it, each person has its own preferences.



  • I never used Facebook not Twitter or Instagram, but I was very active on Reddit.

    The key to a successful migration, in my opinion, is being involved enough in alternatives that you stop caring about your old mainstream accounts, that doesn’t happen in a day but it’s an ongoing process.

    What I’m doing (in practice), I created my account here when the protest started, I took the time off reddit to search for alternatives to the subs I was in and actively participate in them, after a while I stopped caring about reddit, so much that I unsubbed from everything and I don’t even follow its news anymore.

    I didn’t ditch reddit completely yet because there are a couple of niche subs that are not easily replaceable, so I still check those every now and then, but compared to how active I was before, I’m basically not contributing anything anymore.

    It’s just a matter of time IMO before those niche subs will grow on the fediverse, I don’t know how long it’ll take but when it happens I’ll be done with reddit forever.
