curiously, he didn’t mention linux as well

Maybe the author doesn’t know the fediverse yet. We could try commenting there or maybe contacting him

Maybe having fediverse events, with each instance participating. Maybe even tournaments and championships, with each instance being like a team and having representative users, so that when we register in an instance, it won’t be simply entering a random server, but joining and rooting for a team.

That’s just a random idea. There are probably many other possibilities

To complement my previous comment, I believe the best course for us would be, instead of trying to address something that will never be better than in centralized networks, to try creating things that are great and exclusive to the fediverse. People can deal with minor inconveniences if they get some unique experience in exchange

But can it really be addressed? Centralized systems will probably always be easier to use. For example, if you want to follow a lemmy community, it will be community@somewhere instead of just the community name, and it will be possible to have competing communities with the same same but different servers. This will always leave people confused, and it’s something inherent to the federated model

From ai 2027 to this, it seems that even hyped ai predictions are getting humbled down

, but I actually like Debian’s slow update cycle,

That’s one of debian’s strengths and an often overlooked feature that I believe many people would love as well. I even had a professor migrating from windows to debian simply because he’s, in his words: “tired of things changing all the time without my permission. I want a system that stays the same for as long as possible and barely changes”. Debian was like a natural choice for him. I thought he would be asking me for help in the transition, but he said he’s “ok and learning by searching on the internet”, and that he’s “investing some time on earning it, because the guarantee of minimal changes makes the it an investment, instead of a waste of time”.

Don’t forget debian on phones (mobian), debian on embedded devices (armbian or even pure debian), debian on gaming machines and debian on vms running on debian hosts

We need competition in the browser market, ANY competition!

Well… that was on me, I set the bar too low

Proably a cultural thing. I live in a place where we eat rice daily, and we just use a regular pot. Rice is literally one of the easiest and fastest things to cook, that we focus on optimizing other things. Also, rice cookers are expensive around here, take aditional space and feel like a consumerist thing.

But now that I’ve said this, does it make you feel unsettled about it?

What’s the deal with rice cooker adoption?

But your neocortex brain can make you resist!

We got to give them due credit. They were spot on on the end result, but just missed on the cause leading to it lol

a few tips for you:

• try open source software in windows too, like libreoffice, inkscape, etc, depending on your needs. It will help the transition to be easier
• if you have a spare machine, try linux on that instead of dual booting, because windows tend to mess with the bootloader in dual boot
• don’t be harsh on yourself. It’s normal to have difficulty to adapt to things. You can do that in steps as small as you feel comfortable with
• try distros like linux mint, because they tend to be easier for new users
• experiment wine or winboat for software you need from windows, if there aren’t alternatives

Unfortunately, it always has been like this for everything
