I expect there are very few people running 7, and waaaay less running xp. I think most people have upgraded to 10 or 11 by now.

Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.

I think your wife invented that

I don’t remember there being a similar CPU generation cutoff before. Your 7th gen intel laptop cannot install windows 11. So Linux is your only choice.

Yeah but half of that is a few nerds inflating the numbers with 10 thinkpads each running different linux distros

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

I forgot about them. I didn’t know they were FOSS. Is F-Droid primarily for nerds and programmers? Or do normies also use it? I stopped working on Android apps because I don’t want my hobby to be subjected to the whims of Google’s acceptance criteria. But maybe I could publish to F-Droid instead.

What kind of FOSS software can you get for your android?

At this point I only pirate media that I can’t find through legit means. I think it’s honestly hilarious that they don’t just make every movie or album available to purchase and download without DRM, since that would be the best way to combat piracy.

I pay for what I can, but I’m also a big Linux user who loves FOSS software. Adobe can get bent. I use Gimp, Krita, and Audacity/Tenacity.

Microsoft can also get bent.

“Today’s pirates are too mean!”

I like the idea, but it makes modding a lot more work. I don’t think it’s feasible for every community to host an instance.

I’m intrigued by the idea of nomadic communities jumping from platform to platform. Maybe that will become necessary. Each instance might be less stable than the mega-sites we’re used to.
