Much better

That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.

Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy

Lemmy doesn't crash, the .world server does. Just use a smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee

Cuz you can just use another smaller instance, as you should.

Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are cool

Finally, the Lemmy fanfiction I was waiting for

The Dutch government already made an official mastodon instance: social.overheid.nl

The Netherlands just can't stop being based

Lol, it's just on mac. No windows version or even plans for a Linux one. Not that I'd use another chromium fork.

Satire now but honestly doesn't seem very far off, with how willing people are to give up their privacy to megacorps

The only person that can crack denuvo right now.

Clearly fucked in the head but there's no other option.

And that's why people should spread out, as is the entire point of decentralization

If there's one company you should preemptively block, it's Facebook. They have a track record of destroying anything and everything they touch and there is zero reason to think it won't be the same this time. From this post:

They aren’t some new, bright-eyed group with no track record. They’re a borderline Machiavellian megacorporation with a long and continuing history of extremely hostile actions:

• Helping enhance genocides in countries
• Openly and willingly taking part in political manipulation (see Cambridge Analytica)
• Actively have campaigned against net neutrality and attempted to make “facebook” most of the internet for members of countries with weaker internet infra - directly contributing to their amplification of genocide (see the genocide link for info)
• Using their users as non-consenting subjects to psychological experiments.
• Absolutely ludicrous invasions of privacy - even if they aren’t able to do this directly to the Fediverse, it illustrates their attitude.
• Even now, they’re on-record of attempting to get instance admins to do backdoor discussions and sign NDAs.

From what I understand, they're likely trying to kill the fediverse by making it irrelevant (embrace, extend, extinguish) seeing how it's finally starting to grow, since they can't just buy it up this time like they've always done to competitors.

Even aside from that though, their algorithms designed to retain user attention by any means necessary are definitely going to seep into and poison the fediverse, at least indirectly, if they're federated.

Not to mention they could easily run ads as normal posts and boost them artificially; they are an ad company after all. Wouldn't put it past them.

Not federating with them means we don't have to deal with all that, and the fediverse can just continue to grow naturally as it's been doing.

Federating on the other hand means a very real risk of permanently halting the fediverse's growth in favour of corporations', like Google did to XMPP
