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.

How's aurora for a beginner?

I'm currently using Linux Mint and I'm happy, but the limitations are starting to show their bare teeth. I am planning to buy a tuxedo laptop soon and I fear with the new hardware Linux Mint will be a hindrance with their outdated packages, so I'm considering a fedora-based distro.

Any info you'd like to share? I'm not a developer, just a regular user looking to use Linux as a daily driver.

I sure hope so.I keep hearing good things about Sailfish OS and gave it a look on YouTube but tbh I'm quite disappointed with its current state.

Even worse is it requires using a Sony phone 😐 yeah Sony, that brand that everyone forgets produces phones because they are so garbage (and I say this as someone who's owned 3 of them).

It would probably be better if they joined the EU. They could stop being an endless drain on the EU economy by being a tax paradise stationed right in the middle.

The internet is full of coomers and this community is no exception.

Everytime some news comes out that kids are being protected from accessing porn websites or social media (soft porn), this community goes into a frenzy. Like clockwork.
