I can’t stand looking at Lemmy without Voyager.

Yeah, I use eternity and I’m grateful for the theme settings.

Also for godsake why isn’t swipe left for the next post a standard thing on these applications.

I tried all of the apps on the google playstore before reaching the last in the list, eternity which had a setting for swiping left for the next post.

That said the lack of advertisements is refreshing as is the horrifically bad “AI” moderating system that is so prevalent on reddit.

The fact that you, a human, asked this question, and got a variety of human replies is why I would say no.

Well they are on the fediverse/lemmy. It’s not dead, yet, simply because there aren’t enough users to create a RoI for bot/karma farming in order to push advertising and disinformation to the top.

I recently saw an internal report estimating that dark fibre in a particular country needed to increase several hundred percent in order to meet the demand from data centre and large facilities transmission needs.

Much of this being built for the AI bubble boom. When the next generation of DC come online the cost of per bot will continue to tumble to the point where it won’t cost much to turn even Lemmy into a bot ridden wasteland.

How would you know if you updated?

My notepad++ is on 8.9.1 and I have no idea how it’s on that ver (ninite I think is where I sourced it…maybe it’s auto updating?)

I regularly open CSVs in the range of 500MB to 2GB in notepad++ without any problem…

The point is here is one of these two command line utilities are objectively easier to learn…

My PC is an electro mechanical pinball table from 1971 (Williams Klondike, btw) running Puppy Linux.

You guys are snobs. No, seriously, youre totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit on the people who know less than you.

What shits me with Linux commands is they don’t make sense.

Copy, diskpart, dir and so on make sense.

But Linux. Bah.

Cp, lsblk (sudo fdisk -l) and ls.

I know it’s an a old dog thing but having used dos and windows command line for over 50 years it just makes me so frustrated to see Linux commands and their switches, syntax and parameters so obtusely obscure, purposeful, unnecessarily filled with complex jargon.

I write sql and python so I’m not unused to this sort of world but everytime I use Linux I find the command line, the supposedly masterful feature of the OS, just painfully, unnecessarily, poorly designed.

copying and pasting strange commands from strangers on old forum posts)

Yes exactly the only way to obtain the help is via weird forums where you waste hours reading posts from people trying to do basic shit. Half the time it’s for the wrong distro, version or whatever bullshit problem you’ve got.

Like godforbid you want to mount a drive that won’t mount in the GUI version of whatever kernal distro ver you end up getting.

You end up writing ridiculously long commands to do shit I can do in a handful of words that make sense in plain English.

Just shits me that MS is hellbent on enshitificating windows, forcing us to find alt.

What choice do we have anymore

I’m using a 7700k from like 2017. I got me a 3070 and 32GB of ram and I can still play 4k @60fps on games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Dead Island 2 Starwars Outlaws (great game) and Cyberpunk (yes fine with DLSS).

And older stuff like F04, Battletech, HL2, Black Mesa, Fallen order.

Would I like something more powerful. Sure. Cyberpunk natively rendered would be cool. But it won’t really change my day to day. For that I’d need to spend way more on a fancy monitor which seems kinda moot when I’m already at 4k @ 60hz.
