I was going to cancel my Max and Peacock account but my niece was still using it. I pay for Nebula, YouTube, and Spotify but I use them enough to feel that it's worth it.

Most modern ones it's just commands you have to run. You can usually find an easy walk-though on the MrChromebox website. I haven't seen one that required a jumper or anything in a LONG time.

All of these machines make for decent Linux laptops. I picked up an EOL Chromebook for $35 last year and installed Debian on it. Decent little machine. Not terribly fast but very useable.

BitTorrent. I only need to share a file once and it could potentially reach millions of people. It's old tech now but it feels like magic to me.

Asking the real questions.

In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.

Lemmy doesn't have that debt.

See this is good. The more the fediverse grows the more people find out what us old users have known for years and years:

You don't need to rely on large tech companies. The web is for everyone.

What part of the experience sucks? I think it's great.

 

It looks like they're finally seeing the Fediverse as a threat.
