Maybe he’s cold. Try coating the fish with algae.

I tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.

If it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

Living in Brazil without Whatsapp is hell, you lost 150% of you communication with the world and people just assume you’re a serial killer, because you don’t have social media.

The proof:

Got an ad for amazon on whatsapp just now. Fucking hate this company.

It just moved to gitflic and now requires a manual install on their .xpi file.

I deleted a post because it was the dumbest shit ever written by humanity. I was drunk at the time…

The anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.

Most healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.

In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.

A lot of gamers want better performance, so a performance oriented distro with gaming quality of life features fills that gap. And ultimately there are a lot of YouTube channels promoting it and it kind of turned into a cool distro to use. This might explain the phenomenon.
