I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I'm planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.

Sort of just seems like math too me. If a basket has apples and oranges in it, but far more are apples then oranges, it's safe to assume you'll see more apples when you look in the basket. Doesn't mean the oranges aren't just a good as the apples, there's just more apples.

I have a friend that complains constantly about Twitter, how its going downhill and he doesn't agree with what their doing and all that. Yet, he insists on using it everyday. I've suggested Mastodon and he said that "everyone is on Twitter" and then complains about it. Couldn't believe that I deleted my Twitter account without a second thought.

People are strange.

Not at all. Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has given me more free time that I didn't realize I was wasting constantly scrolling. There's less to see on Mastodon and Lemmy so I usually just run through it in the morning on my way to work and a bit at night if I'm bored (like right now.) I've gotten back into reading books a lot more and getting off the computer for a lot longer.

Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has improved my life if anything.

I feel a lot of the times you get better answers here if only for the community being a bit better in quality. However, way more questions have been asked and answered on Reddit.

Anti-virus software is like a condom. If you don’t go sticking your computer in places it doesn’t belong you won’t really need one.

I recently realized, while dealing with some screen flickering with the most recent Nvidia drivers, that I had never used Linux without a Nvidia GPU. I’ve always had them in my computer so I always installed the driver. Lately I play mostly older games so I decided to remove the GPU and let my i9 sort out the graphics.

When I say it was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in overall quality I’m not kidding. Everything was buttery smooth and any lingering thoughts of missing Windows faded away. Honestly felt like I bought a new computer.

Now I’ve decided to sell my Nvidia GPU on eBay and either grab an AMD card or be bold and pick up an Intel Arc 750.

So in short, to echo Linus himself, fuck Nvidia.

Just Reddit. You can request you data from them. For whatever reason it takes a few days (up to 30 from what they say) so I had to wait for it to come in.

I deleted my account the other day actually, once the backup was complete. I'm sure most will stay on Reddit but honest Lemmy is better off. Sure, there isn't as much content but most of the content on Reddit isn't really worth any one's time anyway.

New communities are popping up all the time here and it's great to see.

Not to long ago I would of said Fedora but recently I've switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I'm really enjoying it. Still learning the ins and outs though.

It's amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap
