I mean... parties and sex are pretty cool though.
That checks out. I live near a college town where for 2-3 years there was a rash of "college riots" where police tear-gassed everyone in the streets when they felt it was getting out of hand. The solution to keeping the students from rioting ended up being... stop sending cops out there. Everything was fine.
I remember back in 2017, I didn't really need any big desktop apps anymore. All I used was Salesforce, Netsuite, O365, Postman... I asked my company to just give me a Chromebook. Now I hate Chromebooks and I could very much do my job on a Linux distro mainly using web apps if needed.
My IT dept would never allow it because they can't install security software on it. Obviously I'd be pretty safe from malware, but they'd have to trust that I set up firewalls and password protection because they couldn't enforce a group policy, and their data loss prevention tools wouldn't work.
I also just joined in the past month. You're welcome
I did because I was on a different Fediverse link-aggregating forum that was pretty quiet and getting quieter, and all the communities and threads I saw over there came from this instance. It just made sense to join directly so I could post and get proper notifications.
The supernova from Rexxit sent a lot of small pieces flying out everywhere, but things will start to aggregate back down to a few winners over time. I went to Squabbles, Kbin.social, and then Discuit... but now I'm just here and Discuit. I like Discuit's look and feel and users, but it's not super active.
So many of my iPhone fan friends have said "Oh, you finally made the switch, you're going to love it" after I recently bought my first iPhone.
It's a phone. It did not magically transform my user experience. It's 95% similar to what I had on a Pixel. Better low-effort privacy. Better direct hardware access for music and video. Significantly more lag, app freezups, and fragility and some baffling user experience decisions.
I would switch back again, or not, doesn't matter.
