Knoppix in like 2006! The first one I installed was Fedora Core 4 though, my mom got disks for it and rhel in her school textbooks.

Now I use Arch on most things.

That is...not why it's bad in the USA. It's bad in the USA because it's used as a tool for voter suppression historically against black and brown people.

But sure, we're all afraid of registration, when you have to do that to vote either way ๐Ÿ™„

I always wanted to use Linux, so it wasn't really anything that Windows did that drove me away, it was more I could finally play the games I wanted to when Windows 11 came out and needing to change my bios settings to upgrade was enough of a nudge for me to say fuck it.

Windows 11 made it so you can't move the taskbar to the side anymore either.

I have TMobile internet so port forwarding as far as I can tell is not possible unless I go with a business plan and in my experience cloudflare tunnels are extremely slow

If they want that community on their instance I don't want to interact with their instance. I guess at this point I should just spin up my own instance and federate via whitelist.

I love how beehaw defederated lemmy.world because too many people signed up but a bot instance with almost 50k users is fine. Sorry if I come across as harsh but I just increasingly see that instance as a complete joke.

Are they doing anything to solve this? Because if not this platform will die
