A very thoughtful and considerate take on it. I’d never seen one of his videos before but enjoyed it and had some viewpoints changed.

That’s one of the myriad of reasons for my statement.

I can not fathom a world in which I would risk my money betting on the success of a Musk endeavor.

It’s a Meta product so the only surprise regarding this would be if you were surprised that it happened.

Installed the deb and for some reason file didn’t pull any dependencies needed for install. Asked on the forums which packages needed install to run and got this as a response:

To get the shared library, you will need to libqt6multimedia6. I tested and you will need libqt6widgets6, too: sudo apt install libqt6multimedia6 libqt6widgets6. In my opinion the TMOG developer made a shoddy .deb file that didn’t include the Qt6 dependencies.

I also tested the appimage available at the developer’s site. It crashed Mint the first time I tried to run. I rebooted and tried again, and it ran smoothly, but used 20% of my CPU (a 20-year-old i7), but didn’t report that usage. Upon quitting, my screen became corrupted and I had to emergency reboot on tty1. The third time, I had a brief black screen after quitting TMOG and launching a Mint app. Their use of Qt6 doesn’t play well in LM 22.3. I will shortly remove this software from my system.

So I’ll be giving is a miss but thanks for sharing.

You deserve to be able to retire after someone from Shark Tank takes your idea and makes it mandatory on all vehicles.

Capitalism’s a hoot.

You just need a decent block/filter list. I scroll new/all and probably see 3-4 political posts daily.

I would be unable to use Lemmy/Piefed without a well-rounded block/filter list.

They said it because it happens to be true. We will all die of old age without Linux desktop seeing a legitimate double-digit share.

Subj: They call it this because this one thing is all it is." Content: “And this second thing.”

I found Piefed to have some minor refinements to Lemmy, enough so that I moved to it for everyday browsing. Probably the most important for me is the combining of multi-community duplicate posts. The way I browse(All/New) will often result in seeing the identical post crossposted to 5-10 other communities. In Lemmy, it results in endless scrolling of duplicate content, especially if more than one person happens to be doing it at a certain time. In Piefed, when it works correctly, I’ll see only one example of the post and it will offer a dropdown if I’d rather see it from another community. Things like that really help soften the rough edges of the fediverse.

I’ve also heard that it’s more quickly developed than Lemmy but I have no firsthand knowledge of that.

At the end of the day, you can see the exact same feed regardless of which your using so just pick the one that makes your time on the fediverse more pleasant.

I read that title in the voice of Cristopher Walken.

I dropped boost like a hot turd when the ads for paid users showed up. Consider Voyager, it’s a great app for both Lemmy and Piefed and they think more of their users.

I’m convinced Hexbear exists only as an instance blocking tutorial for new lemmy users.

The gullibility of the person hearing the tale.

Actually, they are both wrong. The billionaires funding the project would be billionaires² and we would remain under their thumb.

AI CEO D. Scott Phoenix laid out a vision of a world in which the chipped enjoy so many advantages of the unchipped that you’ll be forced to comply.

I won’t even verify my age online. He can shove my advantageous chip right up his ass.

A subset of users on the r/piracy subreddit responded harshly to the designer’s expression of disappointment, with some claiming that he must be fabulously wealthy. “This is like a man in a solid gold suit spitting at a homeless person,” decided one poster.

Lol, only /r/piracy would be dense enough to come up with that analogy.
