Haven't booted this machine for a month or two... look at these updates!
  • welp, looks like you don't use python virtualenvs... well i guess jokes on you all your shit is probably broken now (and as a bonus, that's probably a big part of the donwload size as well) :p

    What's wrong with bluesky?
  • the one thing that most federated platforms have over centralised structures is the possibility to migrate out of your current shitty fiefdom and the fact that the actual code is open source, so a community can make the choices about the possibilities the technology provides (which is mostly usually better than whatever a for profit company is "forced" into), whereas a centralised platform like bluesky can just ruin the codebase and keep it's users hostage... which after all is one of the key factors to enshitification

    edit: i do agree on your other points though, social networks are bound to turn into bubbles and we've already seen defederation based on petty squabbles :shrugs:

    Cinnamon 6.4 Desktop Environment Released with Revamped Theme, Night Light
  • tbf it probably is still significantly less that windows, i was being a bit facetious...but it's still at like 1-1,5gb idling on a fresh boot (this is the whole DE, not just cinnamon)...

    i did a fresh install with mate on an old machine and it was a lot less (the usual 500mb or something) can't see anything suspicious running though - and yes I did check without any stuff running in the background like steam which is also stupidly intensive with their webkit nonsense

    Anon creates a business plan
  • someone once told me tips where invented to skip the queue at the bar... and apparenty its also some witty acronym for that as well (the brits supposedly invented the concept and they famously like to play with their words)

    edit: "To Insure Promptness", but apparently that's just a backronym that someone made later... damn, i enjoyed that factoid, never should've checked it xD
