well, no, not really. Just regular web usage and occasional gaming on Steam...
Definitely HOI4. I tried but could never get it, I even watched so many let's plays and tutorials 😂
I never buy anything related to Ubishit. That company is the combination of greed, laziness, and bad decisions.
As an Indian person, you definitely also know that Indian officials are highly corrupted! It's something world-famous (or infamous?)
If the state does not protect them, they may as well become the state.
Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.
Also MacOS is popular because its users don't have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, "it just works" anyone?
It maybe better to not refer new users as newbies. People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS. Why is MacOS successful? Because it is easy to use and is a complete products with few bugs. I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.
I would agree too, and I think you said it better than me. Fediverse' instances IS its strong point, but also a double-edged sword if not presented well.
Google has a monopoly on search, Youtube has a monopoly on videos and that helps aggregating interesting contents and users towards the product. Social media platforms thrive on user growth. I had Linux as a daily driver also (until it badly messed up my ssd), but customer support and friendliness are definitely limited parts about Linux that scare people away.
Of course I don't want Threads. I'm just saying the user is being bombarded with information at the first step, which is bad product design.
The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint... there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with "which instance?"
Who the fuck cares about instances and whatnot when an average grandma just wants to make a post on knitting in a supportive community? It really turns people off and without niche communities, there is no way Lemmy will grow any further than its current state.
Without niche communities, what are we going to talk about? Memes? Just programming-related stuff? (I can just surf stackoverflow for that) It can be fun for a while but without diversity, the site will just devolve into boredom and circlejerks. I love this place to death and really want to see it grow, but man, seeing how confusing it can be for an average user makes me anxious for changes.
edit: paragraphs & grammar
edit 2: I'm not saying the Fediverse should be something else. Just like someone here said it better than me, Fediverse can be as complicated under the hood as it wants, but the end user does not need to know that. It must be presented in a way as simple as possible, with plenty of signs and helpful directions.
It's actually pretty wholesome when you hear him explains about it. We all love a few challenges every now and then!
Underrated channel imo. He talks about the psychology of gaming, you guys should check it out!
Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.
Ok great! Glad it's not just me, hope it is fixed soon but I'm loving the experience so far.
Yeah :( scarlet violet seem to be really close to being a great Pokemon games, but I just saw how many bugs they have and noped the F out 😂 probably would have bought them if not for the twisting heads @@
I agree! The amount of gym battles was a HUGE selling point for me, though it's funny how Misty had lvl50 pokemons in HGSS while in FRLG she was rocking lvl20 max 😂
omg definitely the ORAS remakes!! How could I forget them, best plotlines arguably! I just love how villains in those games have their own redemption arcs
Gen 4 is such a golden era lol 😂 most Pokemons available and iconic battles too
Haha yeah, Pokemon story really leaves much to be desired since the 3D era. I'm really excited for Arceus though! Definitely the best game on Switch right now, or arguably until those re-releases inhaling copium probably on the Switch 2 maybe? :')
I'm so glad you mentioned Pokemon spin-offs! Have always been interested in those but never got time for them :(
Mine is Pokemon HGSS (the amount of content is mindboggling), Pokemon Platinum (grandest Pokemon experience) and Pokemon Black 2/White 2 (most fun and unique playthrough). I'm also looking forward to buying Legends: Arceus on the Switch, have heard many great things about it!
Has anyone experienced this?
What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy
