This is one of the downsides to Lemmy, you’re expected to understand what the hell an instance is before you even use the platform.

I’d rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.

A lot of the people giving ML a bad reputation came over from Hexbear after they were defederated by almost everyone, I suspect the angry commies would just create a new account on another instance.

That’s not an either/or question.

So pay $50 then.

And sending emails, social media, video calls, taking notes, pretty sure they can even run things like power point presentations now.

While it may sound like a lot of work, it truly takes an afternoon and some unused RAM on your PC to make happen, then you’re set up!

This shit is why open source software has a bad reputation.

For most people, a tablet is a direct replacement for a laptop anyway, especially with a wireless keyboard. I run software for work that, as far as I know, is Windows only, but most people will be fine with a tablet, or even just a phone.

It sounds like a mixture of Chromebooks, and people simply not owning a traditional computer.

Either way, it seems to be mostly Google that’s winning here.

I’ve noticed people haven’t been talking about it anywhere near as much in the last few years. I used them briefly, but at the time you couldn’t do things like download an album without making a playlist with that album in it.

It was very weird.

Where I live we have something called the electoral roll, which is a nationwide database of registered voters.

It’s weird the states don’t also have this already.

That’s a great attitude to have actually.

OP definitely hates you.

Out of interest, who came first, pride month or men’s mental health?

Yikes.

Vehicles also skid very far at that speed.

I wonder what a fake beard or mustache does as far as fooling the machine goes?

It’s not like it’s their car, why would they get mad?

If you’re close enough to another vehicle on a gravel road that you’re getting stones flicked up, there’s no way that’s a safe following distance, especially considering the increased stopping distances.
