Not old, not communist and I am from Canada. I am only sort of a programmer. Only do it as a hobby and my job is only tangentially related to it.

Yeah I came here because of the reddit exodus but stayed for the linux. I just need something to scroll through when I am bored and my rss feed isn’t interesting me. As a young person its weird everybody here is old. I am 17 and would’ve thought more of the youth would be interested in alternative social media platforms. Aren’t young people supposed to be the ones who do things contradictory to the status quo?

I bought board months ago but never figured it out. It feels like the company has abandoned the product and all the support forums for it are filled with bots talking about their favorite blog

Quake 3 Arena or if you don’t want to pay/pirate just install openarena. OpenArena should come be in your distros packages

I mean I used tools like UltimMC to get around having to make a minecraft account. UltimMC doesn’t provide the games themselves, that is downloaded from mojang’s website, UltimMC simply provides a way to get around basic DRM.

Most of the time, the tools I use to pirate are open source themselves so that isn’t really a problem for me.

Alright I solved it by just chrooting in again and deleted and reinstalled linux-firmware.

I see iwlwifi.

Simplicity of design. Rust is built cleverly. It has lots of features and there are also tons of clever ways to solve a problem. Odin is quite simple and although not entirely minimalistic, it is written in a very clear way when approaching a problem. The borrow checker in rust in one thing I would call clever. It takes time to get used and although can be quite useful for safety it is too clever.

Rust is a better C++ replacement than C. Something like Odin would fit the mold better than Rust ever will.

for programming.

C is not a great language but is the best language we have.

midnight.pub - Chill place for people to write extremely niche and detailed blog posts.

IRC - Lots of technically competent people who are fun to talk to.

rawtext.club - I haven’t joined this because I don’t think I would really contribute much but it is a good idea.

Or just Gemini/gopher in general are cool places to be.

I mostly browse linux/programming content and what not here. Not really an addiction for me just posing a general question of its worth.

Well I want to be part of the decentralized web. I think it is very cool to be free of corporations. Just was wondering if there was a point in all of this. Of course the fediverse is better than centralized solutions but I don’t know if there is even a point in trying to build these platforms as they are just a way to waste time. Although it might be a good idea to keep but just never scroll and only use to ask for help, opinions or just to share what is on your mind. It is a useful tool just not what it is mainly used for.

I don’t spend very much time on here I average 5 hours a week but it is still bad for me. I never feel satisfied afterwards and for some reason still come back. I was thinking it would be better to cut it off entirely as it is a bad influence and just have IRC as my main way of chatting with other humans. I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.

Arch because https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_is_the_best

Enough said.

You pretend like they are dead?
