niche communities are [both] hard AND easy.
some niche communites have a hard time staying active on ordinary reddit. (so therefore what does that mean for lemmy's sucess rate)
on the otherhand:
reddit nich communites are such a horrific failure , in many cases, that literally one active poster would make lemmy versions massively superior to shitty mainstream reddit.

important tldr summary: "Many Windows 10 computers do not meet the Windows 11 system requirements"

i pretty much dont give a fuck what companies do.
except its hella destructive/wastefull to the environment.. and also will probably drive up the price of computers for everyone.

thats an awesome idea! much thanks for the info!

personal insight preinstall (for ppl reading this):

• it is always better to use fdroid apps whenever possible.

i had tried mcroG once upon a time(many years ago). it didnt work for me.
possible reasons:

• project may have been less mature than it is today.
• other. (see below)

installation:
https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation "Install GmsCore.apk" , "Install GsfProxy.apk"
"Please review the Prerequisites and Helpful Information before starting installation."

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Prerequisites
"Your System needs to support signature spoofing, see Signature Spoofing" , "[You need a ROM that supports signature spoofing.]"

conclusion:
-need to follow the specific installation instructions.

• according to the docs.. u need a custom rom(distro ie lineageOS on a supported device.)

people are gave some good answers.
it boils down to various large sites.
wikipedia(app) and reddit(app) are my top.
often time i just bang out a search and pinpoint the answer and trash the rest.
[deleted] stackexchanges and ycomb are some other popular sites.
quora used to seem attractive but information is questionable and the whole experience is trash.

gemini,bookmarks,chatgpt are some others. also libgen .

i disagree. with this and parent comment.
i would argue: more is more.
the devil is in the details and how u choose to implement your system efficiently.

i guess one strategy is if u just need to have a smooth experience u can rapidly cut out cruft. this would lead to a much simpler experience and u would still retain a fair amount of privacy.
personally.. i would rather have all privacy switches available.. even if i rarely choose to have them enabled.

or u can save the page using the browser menu.
sometimes this allows for smaller size. and also ability to crop out unwanted resources. but then the page breaks and having a resource folder is messy to deal with.

good for reducing radiation

silky smooth apps. not overwhelmingly populated and serious.

UI is worse, performance is mostly a bit slower, the morals seem cloudy sometimes.
and.. the biggest one: PEOPLE ARE APATHETIC

i suggest block play services in your main profile and let it be enabled for some apps in your work profile. via shelter app.

reminds me of this project https://farm.bot/ .
but a project like this is so slow or nonexistant development ( i would argue: this is because we put all our hope and time into specialization.) this is only maintained by a few people. it doesn't compete or compare with the size and scale of modern industrial farms so nobody really cares and its not deemed to be important.

i suppose thats a good thing. its not worthwhile to persue agriculture anymore. food is cheap.
i'm more worried about paying my landlord.

heres what wikipedia has to say:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_labour
historically it seems to have been beneficial.. and led us to where we are currently.
