So I was one of those back in 06 and I’m in my mid to late 30s now.

I don’t use Facebook anymore and stopped using Facebook a decade ago because of all the timeline changes.

My guess is they’ve continued to make the timeline stuff worse and worse and that’s why people stop posting cause you don’t actually see each others posts half the time it’s filled with random suggested shit.

That hasn’t really been my experience, talking to a lot of people tends to seem like most people seem closer to my age 30s with an interest in tech or a tech background.

I haven’t really run into many teenagers in discussions.

Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.

I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.

Yeah Steve steve and Wendell would be an amazing trio, Gordon is also really good but he can be a bit rage heavy for me

On the whole a solid episode and the Scott appearance was very surprising and well done.

However why the hell is Christine the only survivor on the cayuga, it makes no sense at all.

Also the fucking cliffhanger is ridiculous

If you're genuinely looking for Linux Laptops I'd take a look at https://starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter

There's also https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/index.php

It does make me wonder though sometimes, my feed is nothing but these kinds of memes being repeated daily...

usenet is almost always faster, there's never an issue with torrent lacking seeds and it's theoretically safer as you do not upload any content when downloading which if you do download a lot using torrents will put you in a certain legal grey area about distributing files.

but aside from all of that the integration with the arr stack and the automation makes it just so much more god damned convenient.

I think they are trying to come up with an exit strategy to another platform. The more they put this off and delay and delay the less likely they are to gain any traction of users to move, if anything I think it's just an excuse to not move as you said later.

In reality, it’s just an excuse to put off the inevitable. They really don’t want to rebuild, so it’s all or nothing and a tough thing to let go.

Truth is they don't want to leave reddit and most moderators had their bluff called about the situation. I'm not saying they're power hungry or spez was right but they don't want to leave because it's too difficult for them to start over and build communities or they don't have the skills to do it. Some might dislike the lack of prestige as well who knows. However, they're sticking around clearly because they don't want to leave and deep down inside they have hope that something will change and they will go back to the old normal, some will come to accept the new normal and change their minds.

I've personally been down this route before where I invested thousands of man hours into communities but sometimes you just need to know it's time to move on close up shop and do something else, I just don't think most of the people who moderate on Reddit have the stomach for it.

I have been using liftoff also but it is very difficult to find new communities not on your instance or on lemmy.world through the app I couldn't figure it out at first glance so I add them through a web browser and then can access them on the app

I feel like only us in the UK have one of these by default
