No worries, I also started test driving Linux a month ago in preparation for when Windows 10 stops being officially supported.

Same on lemmy... Yet, here we are? I'd call that a win.

I'd rather have a bunch of smaller dudes hosting servers than yet another US multinational that will use their money to destroy democracies around the world.

You're right. The effort of writing 2 sentences to promote a platform some people may not have checked out in some time, if at all, was definitely wasted. I'll remember that next time.

Its good to know this will be optional in Europe. But at this point, do I even care?

2025 will be the year that Linux will see an influx of users, and it will all be due to Microsoft's anti-consumer practices.

Not sure if you were joking but Mastodon has substantially more users than Lemmy.

Averaging 1 million users/month versus Lemmy's 50k.

The Marxism/Privacy intersectional analysis is something I never expected to see. But I welcome it with open arms.

I'm glad this community isn't just right-wing libertarian tinfoil-wearing loonies.

Bolt still exists!!! And tends to be cheaper than Uber.

Don't replace X with Bluesky! Go to Mastodon and other Federalised platforms. That is the only way to escape corporate-sponsored fascism.

Excellent addition. I wish companies just deleted your data by default, but we know that's sadly not how it works. Thank you.

Expect it to get worse throughout this administration. Perhaps even beyond.

The market manipulation has been insane, and I barley see any backlash.

Wow, thanks man! Really inspiring stuff, I feel like you clarified a lot.

I don't need to change a lot of stuff on my system either, I mostly only mess with GUI stuff. So all of this sounds great. Awesome to know there's access to basically all packages too!

I don't really have any further questions. I'll probably just buy (yet another) live pen and boot Aurora from there to give it a proper go, haha. Thanks a lot. Comment saved for posterity.
