Who here is still on X, formerly Twitter? (kbin.social)
 

Pretty much the title. If you are, why do you remain on a platform that has become such a dumpster-fire of mis- and dis-information?

There are more than cultural differences. WeChat is a surveillance app for the masses by the State. This is not an exaggeration.

Fedora or Pop!_OS? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] iLikeGoats@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have used many Linux distros, Old-school RedHat (floppy days) Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, etc. I used to like messing around with the kernel and configs, etc. Now I just want something that works so that I can get to work. I installed Pop_OS on an old Microsoft Surface about 3 weeks ago and I have been very impressed. It was simple to install, has a pleasing interface design, and no bloat software. I'm going to keep using it for my desktop and highly recommend it.

I'm on discord but not for the sociability so much. However, there are some hyper specific subjects that get served up there. Personally, I find it very chaotic.

I don't think he called bullshit as much as he thought it has potential but not ready yet. Lol! I love the fediverse. Let everyone else find the next best thing that will, once again, get ruined.

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

Sounds fantastic. Good luck!

I'm lucky in that our townhalls are all streamed.

Just curious. I refer to myself as Buddhist-ish. I read some dharma at least weekly if not daily, struggle thru weekly seated meditation, and recite the Loving Kindness meditation daily. But I don't have a Sangha near me and likely wouldn't join one even if there was one available.

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.
