Yeah that's what we are having here too, huge cpu usage and issues with outgoing federation. Sounds spot on.
If an instance becomes too dominant, users actually love it.
Example: Lemmy.world :)
It's nice that they are trying to add new features and make it original in some way. But I will have to wait for Linux support, sadly.
Ever had people in your life that refuse to leave you alone? They call, they come by, they get involved in discussions... It's so frustrating and this movie made that funny. :)
Yeah many people say that but Ubuntu is not very good in my opinion. Outdated packages, snaps, commercials in the installer and so on. I would pick PopOS any day over that myself. But it's because I'm really sensitive to those things.
It doesn't really matter what they use. As long as it's open source and decentralized, avoiding big tech running the servers, it's a huge win.
There is no peaceful existence with big tech when it comes to this. They will turn it into ads and tracking and that's not compatible with the moral values of the open source community.
It's Microsoft culture vs Linux culture.
I can build what I want, it's more about having ideas in think. Except math intensive things, I'm not interested in algorithms.
No, absolutely not dumb at all. I have tried almost all Linux distros myself over the years, and ran them for a while. It's fun. And maybe you like this one and stick with it.
Either way you will learn new things just by trying it.
Should say by who. :)
Yes you should.
It's not hard to learn once you get over that first stage of not even knowing what a lua table is, and mentally accepts that arrays start at 1, not 0 :)
How is it better than just going to a torrent search site? It has a lot more content?
This is like asking the burglar to investigate his own crime in a way, isn't it?
I don't know what happened with the virus of course, but trusting what US intelligence agencies are saying, isn't that a bit gullible?
