Thank you, it's nice knowing I'm not the only one.

Yes, link aggregation is one of the main feature of reddit. And I guess it's a main feature here as well. But another feature on both sites is also the text-post that can be used to promote discussion among users. But they are so few and far between they drown in all the post with links to new-site of less than good quality.

Of course there are webforums, but the one that are still active are usually single topic webforums. Like for example windows 10 forums, or a rc-helicopter/remote-drone forum. This place is a much better place to discuss a wide range of topics inside the correct community, anything from gardening, to politics, to power electronics. That's why I would enjoy a common place in the fediverse to meet people :)

To avoid making my post a 1000 word essay, I've omitted some detail to get my point across.

I haven't tried NixOS yet, but many things about it appeals to me. I could put it on my old laptop I guess.

You will get better framerate with a newer GPU, but if you already have playable FPS then you can wait with the upgrade. I don't see any point getting a better CPU for your motherboard unless you have many tasks you know are CPU limited for you. For games I'm sure there will be little difference. And getting a new cpu/motherboard/ram is basically building a new computer. It's better to wait a few more years.

I think you over oversimplifying somewhat. Most countries have a very deep history and a long chain of events that leeds to what is now their countries and borders. There has been plenty of kings and rulers of different lands, and wars fought over said land, but again this have evolved a lot over the ages.

One idea you're touching, that borders aren't real can be a good one. When astronauts take their first trip to space some of them are almost overwhelmed by whats called the 'overview effect'. Seeing earth as a blue marble, with no borders and realizing we all share this small island of life we call earth circling around the sun. In this regard it would be nice in a distant future that what country you were born into has no limits to you possibilities in life. and no one will judge you because you live on the "wrong" side of a border.

So yeah, I think about it from time to time.

In cities or close by cities this is not a problem. I'm from norway, the country is big, but with few people. So the train or bus doesn't go where I need to go. Last week I was going to a place 25km away from my home. I was thinking of taking the bug but it would take 1h14m. with my car it is a little under 30minutes.

Then there taking stuff home. A few weeks ago I needed some planting soil for my garden. I only needed 3 bags with 40L of dirt. But imaging taking that on the train or the bus. People living a apartments in cities don't have this problem. But other people leed other lives.

For me there are many levels of 'special' cars. One level is the great cars through history, Mercedes SL300, Ferrari F40, Mclaren F1 and the likes. Another level is the engineering in cars like the koenigseggs gemera that go from 0-200kph faster than many cars do 0-100kph. The carbonfiber wheels are hand made. A Swede is handlaying layers of carbon fibers cloth, before adding resin and then curing process. The modern mclarens are also fascinating engineering wise.

The last level are cars that it's possible for me to own, right now I have a BMW. don't know what I'll get next. Some porches are nice, maybe my priorities change I'll just get a Polestar 2 or something. Anyways I like BMWs, maybe i'll get an old 3 series like an E92 to have as a summer car.

I think it's natural that reddit will be discussed a lot during the next few weeks. We might see a new spike around june 30th when the API get restricted (cost money). From then on it will slowly die down, I hope. As a topic it might never die completely. People still talk about digg, and true old timers bring up BBS's and such. Many of us, me included are reddit refuges, I think it's natural to help vent some frustration by discussing it with peers on this instance.

Oh definitely, I'm hoping this place last for decades. And I think since the fediverse is FOSS that is much more likely.

Yeah, it's good to have a discussion. I don't want to say it's a big problem. I only wish for it to be a little better.
