I like your enthusiasm. But i just find it easier to avoid all the ai crap. Im not going to waste my time using it, even for “fun” reasons.

Maybe that’s the difference between grifters and everyone else. We don’t find it necessary to waste our time on the grift.

I won’t condone some fun though.

I’ve only used it on mobile. I don’t know what the desktop looks like. But i like the smaller font. It’s more “crisp” than the default UI.

Yeah. I haven’t used it in a few months, but i did use it for a long time. I like it.

I believe it’s still missing moderation tools, but I could be wrong. Im not sure which update it’s at now.

Have you tried https://next.lemm.ee/ ?

There will be more, don’t worry. We enjoy the silliness.

Beans, star trek, beams, off the top of my head. There’s been others. It happens a lot.

Actually being a part of conversations is great

That’s how you get Lore.

It’s an entire instance of teenage trolls

That may be, but buying a Mac Mini is like buying a device made from the ground up for Windows, where any other operating system has to reverse engineer 100% of the things to work well, or you have to emulate another OS on it (which comes with its own pitfalls), and it’s 200+€ more expensive than its nearest equivalent.

Every single company I’ve worked at which introduced Apple Silicon to its developers has had headaches with compatibility. The worst I’ve seen was it taking a developer a month to get up and running because the specific component we used didn’t have a build for the specific ARM architecture. Multipass, UTM, podman, docker desktop, all didn’t work until colima and forcing the VM to emulate x86 + forcing docker in the VM to use the x86 image worked. There was a persistent problem with disk IO since it used 9p or whatever. Installing dependencies from scratch meant waiting 30 minutes on the M2.

Why pay a premium for less compatibility and worse specs? Just get yourself something that works, which is cheaper, maybe even supports a company that invests in Linux and its ecosystem, and be able to ask an existing developer community instead of asking the subsection of linux users that run your specific app on however you’re running linux on Appe hardware.

That was exactly the comm I had in mind!

You can. Create a new community and tell the most active people in the original about it. Once everyone posts in the new comm you’re done.

It’s not like it hasn’t been done before.
