When you install, partition your drive. /home goes on its own partition and will probably be the largest one. Then you can wipe the / partition and reinstall all you want, takes 15 minutes
People were terminally online well before 2019. It exacerbated the problem but we're not going back. I don't really think that's a problem, technologically it pushed us further ahead which is always a good thing.
You're right in that we are starting to rediscover what it means to be physically social again. I think that's a good thing, too. People that got away with shit before aren't getting away with it any more.
Unity's recent fuck up is a massive boon for them, I really hope they can capitalize on it. This is one of those moments that only happens once, if they push their development and marketing over the next 12 to 18 months they can snag a really significant share of the market and use it to vault themselves to the next go-to engine.
Pretty much everything on there is monitored by the rights holders and anything that's not is loaded with malware. L337 or torrent leech is what you want these days, for the mainstream stuff. TL requires invites but they're easy enough to get and it's got pretty much all the mainstream TV, movies, and software. If you want more niche stuff you'd want to look around a bit more, though.
It's really not. If you're driving the speed limit in the left lane when you could practically be in any other lane you're an asshole. What you're doing is legal, but you're still a dick.
Not to mention there are a lot of fediverse users who moved here because they didn't want to give away personal information like their email and phone number.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that it is what it is. I'm all for people making a living. It's the other idiots here that seem to think capitalism is a bad thing.
I've honestly never noticed an issue except occasionally a website requires a pop-up and I miss the notification that a temporary exception needs to be made.
For now. They've raised prices, next step is cost cutting. Lot of those devs might l could find other work and end up pushing a branch or two to Godot.
Well, I dropped reddit because rif stopped working. Whether it was "for Lemmy" is kind of a "for now" thing. Something better comes along and I'm likely to migrate there (or use it in addition).
