I guess you're lucky (or much more tech-savvy than me). I tried to switch to linux once many years ago (pre-COVID, which is like ancient times now). It was horrible. Oh, I now need to learn about file systems and NTFS and ext3/4(?) - i guess i’ll try Linux on a separate, old hard drive. Ok, something didn’t work, I now have to figure out what driver wasn’t supported and what I need to download. Great, people on forums are helpful but they’re asking me a bunch of gibberish. Now I gotta figure out this command line thing. Oh cool some people built GUIs for certain stuff so i don’t need to play with the command line, but then the GUI doesn’t work occasionally and now I have to figure out if it’s the GUI that broke or something else. And then at some point I got stuck because of file permissions.

oh cool, i didn't know about it! Is there a way to customise your feed and subscribe to certain subs in Stealth?

Sometimes you would pay for convenience.

In its golden years, I happily paid for Netflix because it had literally everything I wanted and it was easier than torrenting everything.

Anyone who still uses the official reddit app at this point is just unsaveable

Old.reddit on browser. Or redreader

I personally use rdx.overdevs.com. It's UI is absolutely fantastic. It's read-only, but that's perfect because I've resolved to never post there again

In 2022, 75% of UK Internet users and 80% of Hong Kong internet users used WhatsApp (just do a search for "WhatsApp usage in Hong kong/uk"). Would you call these global financial hubs poor and illiterate countries?

I hate Facebook as much as the average lemmy user (lemming?), but let's not pretend that everyone makes decisions based on the company's reputation.

Wow who would have thought, India is winning the North Korea speed run challenge.

By "developing countries", do you mean "most of the world outside the US"? Because WhatsApp is used extensively in Europe as well. Which means you're either ignorant, condescending, or both.

This is widespread genocide.

This article focuses on microwaving, but the news about sous vide isn't great:

"This study proved that the sous vide method causes polymer degradation at high temperatures and longer time periods": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36398752/

"We're sorryu it didn't work this time, we'll work harder to make sure that the next time we try again, we'll do so in a more insidious way that boils the frog slower"

"Millenials are ruining the market again"

Sir this is a Wendy's meme sub

So instead of sending Sam, the whole Shire should have taken the trio together and just passed the ring back and forth amongst like 10 people?

When workers are paid shit wages so the boardmembers and shareholders can profit, it's no wonder employees don't care about their jobs.

Reddit used to have a sub for hospitality stories. I think it was talesfromthefrontdesk? It was hilarious and depressing.

there's like 6 different ads for it now https://charleston.craigslist.org/search/ava?purveyor=owner#search=1~gallery~0~0
