This is pretty much what I was trying to say, but better.

I have been trying to get into Linux for a decade. I constantly install distro’s and I truly don’t see the appeal. However, I received a copy of windows XP professional back in the early 2000s, and I haven’t had to pay for windows since, so I may have a bias—but I 100% prefer it.

There are some definite pro’s and con’s, but I feel the cons outweigh any benefit of Linux unless you already know what distro you’re going to use, the purpose for which you’re installing that distro, a good understanding of how the repository works, and how to use google.

I was given an invite code back in 2018 when the creator was giving them out, or something. It was super small.

I think that have a few invite codes. I’m assuming everyone got 10, and you can use those. They only disappear when the person I gave them to uses it.

Idk about anyone else, but the icons are completely/temporarily invisible on my end. I can hit them and they appear though, sometimes.

Edit: Adding a photo

Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.

Yeah, I’m sure it’ll die down more once the third party apps shut down. I wonder how many people are in it for the social aspect of Reddit anymore anyway, or if it isn’t just a constant scroll and upvote thing.

I don’t understand. Maybe it’s my adhd and lack of object permanence, but I have been so unbothered by the lack of Reddit.

I bought a plant today. I’ve never bought a plant. I bought cats before buying a houseplant. I’m pretty stoked—and it’s mostly because I was scrolling through Reddit that I got up to do it.

Does anyone know what’s going on with Beehaw? I haven’t been able to log in the last couple of days. It’s just a “502 bad gateway” error.

I was approved for both lemmy.ml and Beehaw. I kind of got into a groove on Beehaw and tried to delete Lemmy.ml, but it wouldn’t let me. Is that going to create any problems if I just stay signed off?
