As long as it doesn’t become Reddit 2.0.
As long as it doesn’t become Reddit 2.0.
As a Linux user myself, I understand what you are saying. Every distribution has its advantages and disadvantages, and you can’t expect regular people to know which one is best for them. Saying it’s not confusing to the average consumer is disingenuous.
Having said that, if you want to make the switch, go for Linux Mint and be happy. In my opinion, it’s the easiest Linux distribution by far, and everything just works.
Compared to what?
I don’t think it’s paranoid. Best case scenario, they really are using your data ineffectively, which imo is still bad because you are not getting any benefit from it. But worst case scenario is a government coming into power that abuses this data to extents we can’t possible fathom today.
Same. I mean, I don’t do it now either. But I also never used to.
I agree, but I sometimes check out reddit as well and it’s also been meh now. It seems that social media as a whole is in a steep decline. No good content anywhere. Or maybe I’m just getting old.
I would never use an ISPs router for my home network. It just causes so many issues that you can easily avoid by either using your own router directly or if that is not possible putting the device into “bridge” mode and using your own router behind it.
What are some of the issues?
The devices the ISPs send out are usually the cheapest hardware imaginable and therefore introduce substantial unnecessary latency.
Where I live some ISPs also used to use tools that genereted wifi passwords based on the devices MAC address. While this is apparently fixed now, a lot of non tech savvy users still use these old devices that are basically open to anyone now.
To save even more money, they sometimes deliberately send out faulty devices (as in devices that drop connection frequently, restart for no reason, etc) which is just horrible.
I know these issues because I worked in that field and there are a lot more unfortunately…
Didn’t the show hint at this already? I don’t think that’s just a fan theory.
Funnily enough I thought it was worse when I read it. The actors at least made it somewhat believable. It was terrible though.
Both work with “Sync for Lemmy”. Don’t know about other apps/sites.
Because I’m a developer and programmerHumor was my goto sub.
Exactly. The level of polish Sync has is unmatched in the android space and well worth the money for me.
So what Google did with Google Talk, Hangouts, Duo, etc.? This is basically a case of “do what I say, not what I do”.
Right? Its funny that I thought I missed Reddit when in fact all I was missing was Sync.
Omg it’s so smooth!!!
Sync for Reddit was not open source, so I doubt this will be.
To be fair, it only recently started growing again.
