DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

  • I haven't followed pop culture since about 1985. I've never heard of Kendrick or Drake (apart from Sir Francis Drake and Nick Drake, and of course you can't mean either of them, given they died in 1596 and 1974 respectively).

    I like it here, not least because I understand a lot more of the things people talk about than I ever did on Reddit. Perhaps the users here tend to be older on average, I don't know. There are certainly fewer people than over there, and that must account for some of the differences in content scope.

    • Every time I see a headline like "Windows introduces thing, nobody asked for it but it's coming to all versions and can't be uninstalled"

  • Yes, I'm new to Lemmy, ex-Reddit, and now I'm looking at what else I can do. I ran Linux Mint on an old laptop for many years, but that was when I was still working and I also had a company laptop on Windows if I needed it. So now I'm retired and currently I only have a refurbished Lenovo with Win 10, which goes out of support soon. I suppose I could do dual boot on that machine, but I'd rather have Windows in a VM for the rare occasions when I can't get something to run in Wine. I have no idea where I'd buy a copy of Win 11, but presumably Microsoft have a store.
