Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

So you are saying Mastodon won't take off because people need to choose a server but also because having a "default" where majority will ptobably end up is bad - but this is literally the solution to the problem you mentioned

I feel like they mainly had to listen to the feedback they were getting. More feedback won't save you if you ignore it

Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

I meant no disrespect. I was mainly thinking pre-Vista, possibly pre-XP. Certainly didn't expect someone in their 20s to be around Win 95. Maybe I'm just seeing myself older than I actually am.

Yeah... and Ukraine clearly shouldn't have signed without it

Never really got into it but really loved the concept.

Also RIP the MMO that should've been.

And that was the issue of the memorandum - it should've included something akin to Article 5

It's still a cool bubble. The initial hype was bound to diminish, but it is still a cool little place. Has it's own issues, but still. Here since the exodus, never looked back

Worth it to return? (lemm.ee)
 

Hey all, I was wondering what do y'all think about the game after the recent relaunch. What is the state of things? Is it worth returning and if so, does it make sense to start anew on new servers, or just continue with the old character?

I don't have the Angry Earth expac so mainly wondering if it is worth the additional buy in price.

Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail? (lemm.ee)

There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?

Any alternatives to Google Photos? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I'm specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it's only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?

How safe is open source software? What are the general benefits? (lemm.ee)

So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general?

And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this?

Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)
