I got a reply to a 9.5 year old comment two days ago…

This is why he’ll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he’s the best president since FDR.

Whatever Christie is doing, it’s aimed for after the election. I think he’s simply raising his profile for either a talking head spot on a network or a leadership role in the party post-Trump. I think he seriously underestimates the degree to which the party has shifted hard right, though.

Whatever ends up happening, it is going to be wildly entertaining seeing Christie trash Trump at the debates. I think he’ll ridicule Trump for not even having the guts to be present for the debates, and that may trigger Trump to start participating.

I don’t think they’ll delete this. This is their future.

Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.

I have a silly need to buy tech for no reason

Me too, I have three of them now plus an old chromebook that I rooted and installed linux on when the price of a PI was skyhigh during the pandemic. The chromebook set me back $40. Installing PeppermintOS on it was pretty easy.

Interesting, I’ll check that out. RES used to have something similar to keep you synced across computers.

That looks to be exactly what I need, thank you.

I can’t find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can’t find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.

I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

I’ve bought two on eBay in the last year. Got the last one for around $135 and it was a kit.

No way Im running linux on a Mac. That’s what a raspberry pi is for.

Totally agree. Each sub top mod should submit one good post per day at a minimum.

Dead man walking.

What Lemmy needs now more than anything is commenters. If the site is to succeed, it needs robust comment sections.

I don’t generally block anyone on social media. I don’t want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

I remember back when you could only download one song at a time from there. But you’re right. There is an insane amount of good music there.

I was trying to but the instance was down.

Yes, I’m sure.
