I am the administrator of “What the Fediverse”, which includes:
Dunno how I feel about being part of that statistic…
I use a Ubiquiti doorbell, which operates locally. However you do need some extra equipment to set it up.
Doesn’t most map providers get their data from OSM?
Kevin just wanna sleep with ya!
That doesn’t look like voice channels to me, like in Discord?
Thanks. That sounds pretty cool.
What do you use all that storage for?
That make sense. Thanks.
Who need that much storage on their phone? Honestly asking.
It’s missing voice channels.
I didn’t know about Revolt. It sounds awesome and does indeed look like a Discord clone, but while you can self host it, instances can’t communicate with each other. The devs of Revolt actually recommend NOT to self host.
Signed up for Revolt, but still waiting for the email confirmation…
Discord. And no, Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.
I think you are partially right, but I think the only reason Windows is easier for the user, is because they are pre-exposed to Windows.
If you took someone, who has zero knowledge of any OS or its GUI, I honestly doubt that Windows would be better.
It’s the same if you take a person who has only known MacOS their whole life and ask them to navigate in Windows… or vice versa… You won’t see positive results.
What’s your issue with Cider, if you don’t mind me asking?
What needs to happen is that all the laptop makers, HP, Lenovo Acer etc. start having Linux pre-installed on their laptops in the stores. That probably won’t happen, as I imagine that Microsoft pays these companies to sell their laptops with Windows on them.
That’s not the segment I am talking about. I’m talking about “regular folks”, who know nothing about IT, but need a laptop for whatever reason. Checking their bank, mail… That’s the majority of Windows users. Not the PC builder. They probably don’t even know what “Windows” is, if you asked them.
If Linux were pre-installed on PC’s, most people wouldn’t even notice a difference, because all they need is a browser and maybe an office suite, for very simple work.
A major reason that Windows is “popular” is because it’s pre-installed on desktops and laptops. Users don’t have a choice when they go to the store to buy a laptop for doing banking stuff or save pictures from their old camcorder.
It’s the same way with browsers. IE was “popular”, but only because that was the browser that was pre-installed on Windows. The IE browser was complete shit.
I see it as an opportunity to tell people on Threads to leave Threads and use an open platform, such as Mastodon, instead. Then eventually Threads will shut down, because everyone moved :D
Well, the OPi Zero 3 only has USB 2, which is slow.

Don’t expect it to be fast.
One of the reasons for me not to switch, is because there is no Linux client.
