I get the feeling that Lemmy has a relatively higher concentration of Linux users. I'm preparing to move over to Linux when I build my new computer. I already put Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on one of my old laptops and I like it quite a bit. I figure that since I've been wanting to switch over for years, I should just do it. The games were the thing holding me back, and Proton seems to have taken care of that(I don't really play multiplayer games that require anticheat... I'm a singleplayer kind of girl).

For me, anyway, I want to switch because Windows has been creeping me out with its telemetry. Windows 11 looks lousy, and I'd have to jump through some hoops to get my old hardware on 11, anyway.

 

I know Sylveon is my pfp, but Espeon is my actual favorite. I started with the originals, so initially Eevee was something you only got one of if you didn't trade. That made it special, and of course it was cute as a button, so I always tried to get one regardless of the game. Needless to say, I was super excited to find out you could catch wild Eevee in Gold/Silver. So I caught one and was determined to try to raise its friendship to get one of the new evolutions. It just so happened to happen during the day, so I got Espeon. The friendship mechanic made an already special pokemon that much better. It helps that it has a great design and a cool type, too!

 

I migrated from Twitter to Mastodon when Elon Musk took over. It's been really nice, and I I wish I'd have known about the Fediverse before then. I may have found an instance that is too comfy and perfect for me, though... I've been tempted to migrate my account over to a Calckey instance, but there's no way that I'm not staying put. Other Fedi services that I'm interested in trying are PeerTube and Owncast.

 

Doesn't have to be a big thing! For me, I just managed to handle an entire move all on my own, without help from friends or family.

 

Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

 

pretty crazy deal here, basically comes out to 5 dollars a game

I make it a point to completely stay away from Meta's platforms. I don't want them anywhere near the Fediverse.

Even if they were able to, who cares? By that point, we'd be long, long dead.

Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

Yikes. Guess we'd better work on getting Lemmy/Kbin as ready as we can. This isn't going to end well.

Been suuuuuper busy with a move. The worst of it should be done today, though.

As a member of a rather vulnerable minority, I had made pretty liberal use of the block feature on Twitter. Of course, I left when Musk took over and switched to Mastodon, but my account's still there. I didn't delete it or anything. Might have to now.

Looks like it has passed: "Japan’s parliament on Friday approved a revision to an immigration and refugee law that will allow the forced repatriation of asylum seekers after they are denied refugee status twice, a change that rights activists say could lead to their persecution at home."

Yeah, I know. Lazy writing on my part.

That'd be neat to have... 1200 bucks!? get outta here

Emulation isn't going away, Nintendo.

I'm on Mastodon at @[email protected] . I'm into gaming, both modern and retro, bad movies and cheesy stuff in general. I tend to post about trans stuff as well.

I haven't yet. I imagine it'll be like how I handled Twitter... slowly going there less and less as the fediverse got more and more compelling. Now my Twitter account is abandoned.

You have GOT to be KIDDING me.
