Asus used to be good. These days I'm not so sure.
I don't get this argument. You already have windows and Mac ecosystems where people pay for everything and you have the professional sales guys and big tech being fully invested in sucking all value they can from it all.
Ads in operating systems, spying on users, ads in search engines, telemetry in products, everything you want yourself because you want companies to make money from users.
You have Facebook, Instagram, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc etc. They are all there for you.
So maybe use one of the existing platforms which is fully monetized? Use programs developed for those platforms? Don't bring that shit into the Linux world.
Oh didn't know about piped. Looks good!
Yeah this is sad but his reasons also make sense. It can't be fun to have your plugin break all the time because of neovim updates. Most programmers rather focus on building new things than maintaining something from breaking. It's not that much fun.
We disagree with eachother for sure. I'm also about your age, and I havent seen any platform become big without also becoming user hostile. Google, Youtube, Reddit, Meta, you name it.
It seems that you believe that just because Lemmy is federated, it will be able to not be affected by Threads and it's users. We will see. I doubt it.
Ads are horrible and always ruins the experience severely, since there are never enough ads on a page for the producer to be happy.
I'm not against being a subscriber but I only do that for services that are extreamly useful, like search and email.
The point of Lemmy as a federated platform is that the cost is shared between many people. If hundreds of instance admins pay 10 dollars per month, it's easily manageable. But if one instance becomes huge and needs to pay 10000 dollars per month, there is an issue for that instance, not the Lemmy network.
You can probably also delete them directly in the instance database with simple sql. Unless there are dependencies that will cascade delete things that are not wanted. :)
Very nice tool, will use this for sure. I prefer command line also, so much faster.
I'm not the author, just sharing. But it's a really nice weekly update what's happening in neovim. :)
I would if it was another company than Google but I'm not going to support big tech companies with my money.
Google is tracking people all over the internet, and is one of the richest companies in the world. Now they want to get even more money? Right.
I'm paying for email and search but they are not from big tech.
They are not duplicated (just the same name) and it's not impossible to subscribe to them all with a few clicks.
Use https://lemmyverse.net/communities and simply search for communities and subscribe to them.
That tracking and those walled gardens will come to Linux if you make it a highly profitable platform to develop apps for, or allow ads into our software.
I don't know why that's so hard to understand when you have examples right in front of your eyes.
