Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.

2025 the year of lemmy
and the linux desktop
I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!
"So yeah! Emacs, huh?"

With the advent of the steamOS console, you're actually correct! If it's anything like my deck it's trivial to launch it in desktop mode and use it like a normal linux desktop. This is the gateway to putting linux in front of bored kids everywhere.

the year of the ~~snake~~ lemming
On a more serious note: I wonder if the year of Lemmy will never come. Constant de-federation and churn might splinter it again, much like distros did kinda splinter the Linux desktop.
There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.
We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.

Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand how the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date
Teach them about beans.
And how to hold your poop in for a few days for... reasons.
So, my second-favorite Linux distro is Arch, BTW
What were you saying about Slackware? Who said Slackware?
No, I said, "I like the slacks you're wearing." They would go nicely with a red hat.

I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.
There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.
