No it’s not a replacement fabricated for that purpose. It looks similar because the structure is a sensible one that makes sense for its design. It has no relationship to Reddit other than the fact that it’s a good alternative.

Yeah I know. Was just pointing it out. No big deal.

In my experience with new hardware, it’s always been Ubuntu that works it perfectly where everyone else is like “what’s that? I don’t know that hardware”

A while back I got a new laptop and the audio hardware would only work with Ubuntu which is fine because that’s what I was already using on the previous hardware. Ubuntu with KDE is a very solid setup.

Seriously, now that the FTC has finally grown a pair of balls they’re about to be chained and ball-gagged.

Yeah, methinks this will be one of those alerts pretty much everyone will be like “yeah, yeah, I know” and click to silence those notifications.

Don’t know if you’re joking but this is not supposed to be a clone of reddit. I’m not bothered really I was just being nitpicky. I mean, of it’s all the same, may as well use the right word.

They’re called communities on Lemmy, not subs. And if there isn’t one yet, feel free to make one! This platform is young still, and needs people to start filling the void.

Yeah whatever. Matter of opinion, quite obviously.

I mean… in a perfect world lol.

I ran an IT company for many years until I became disabled. But I do tons of tinkering selling and supporting still as a hobbyist etc. most of them are laptops. My lab used to have 14 full tower chassis systems but I got rid of all of those once their functionality was not needed anymore after I closed the business. I mean - computers that I use daily is basically like three or four laptops and a few Android phones. A couple of tablets - an iPhone an iPad an Android tablet. Also a few really old vintage devices just for shits n giggles. Two transformer pads also.

I mean… I got started in tech a long time ago. As in the early 1980s.

Yes, just after they make Rorschach’s mask.

My twenty Linux machines just giggled.

This stuff is truly fascinating as well as mystifying.

I only ever owned or even used one console the original NES. After that all my gaming was on PC. Consoles are for suckers.

Yeah basically what I meant.

Yyyyeeeah, all ideally. Things don’t always go ideally. Something will always happen. That’s the truth no matter what, and I’d think it’s best to eliminate externals as much as possible. That’s my position. No actual right or wrong here.

ROFL thanks for this; gave me a good laugh 😀😃😄😃😁🤪

“Infrastructure running on 22k ip addresses”. Either the authors are dumb, or they’re writing for a dumb audience.

Correct on both.

We are easily thousands of years away from genuinely understanding this stuff. Right now we have absolutely no clue.

The idea behind it is to do it at the subatomic level. And no, that’s not how the quantum locking works. I have not read the article but it’s likely by someone who doesn’t know shit about shit.
