Twitter is very much active, it is the first place all political discussions happen. It is where the Israel attacks unfolded. It is where every big figure has an account and share their viewpoints.

It is also where you often see two sides having very different viewpoints argue, something in which it is unique - since by design it tries to allow different ideas even if you don’t agree with them.

But not so with Lemmy - which is extremely left centric, and harbours so much hatred against people, censorship, and the ostrich syndrome of burying you head in the sand, that this post to censor Elon and this amazing claim that Twitter is dead gets so much attraction. Case in point how I predict when near 100% accuracy that this comment will be voted down and buried.

Lolol

Lol yeah not gonna happen.

It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.

I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.

My goodness that’s awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.

Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I’d definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I’m willing to learn something new.)

The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You’ll be better off.

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

Honestly the news seems to be about RHEL. Fedora should still be good.

I’ve been using Arch, and very happy with it. Very low maintenance except updating once every one or two weeks.

I just installed Fedora. I think it’s good for a laptop which you plan to seldom open or update. I’ll continue using it.

I’ll stay far from Ubuntu, because I do not like snap - and it reminds me of Windows on how I have to tinker to avoid something the OS wants to push on me.

If you were considering Ubuntu then you’d like Debian - and wouldn’t go wrong with it.

The push towards app from mobile browser was insane. In the end they even made NSFW marked posts impossible to view in web browser. WTF.

No changes to Fedora then?

Lemmy is also ad free. Love that.

Am game as long as the AI runs locally, and doesn’t siphon every website I visit to their server.
