Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you'll never make a dent in it.

Hey all, I've not been putting as much time into Lemmy as I thought I would, so I'm requesting applications for new mods! There isn't really anything to do in terms of reactive moderation, there's almost never any reports etc, but a proactive approach to growing the community, encouraging posts, and all that sort of thing would be great.

Let me know below if you are interested!

He is very good at the following things:

  • being born rich
  • investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
  • taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we've seen from twitter, when he doesn't have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He's also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

Article copied to save you a click:

Burnley, Leeds and Leicester have confirmed their intention to sue Everton for a total of £300million after the club were found guilty of breaching financial fair play rules. 

Mail Sport has learned that senior figures at the three clubs held talks this afternoon to reaffirm their plans to sue after the Premier League confirmed Everton's guilty verdict and 10-point deduction, the biggest in the competition's history.

The aggrieved trio are understood to have agreed to follow through on their previous threats to sue Everton, which they formulated over the summer after Sean Dyche's side narrowly escaped relegation on the final day of the campaign by just two points. 

Leeds and Leicester were relegated to the Championship and Burnley have leant their support as they remain convinced that Everton's spending breached financial rules the previous season when they were relegated.

It's the kind of thing that's so blatant you forget it's wildly illegal.

This has good intentions but all this will do is make it so low income people can't travel, and not really affect the rich who are mostly the problem here.

Ophidascaris robertsi is a roundworm usually found in pythons. The Canberra hospital patient marks the world-first case of the parasite being found in humans.

The patient resides near a lake area inhabited by carpet pythons. Despite no direct snake contact, she often collected native grasses, including warrigal greens, from around the lake to use in cooking, Senanayake said.

The doctors and scientists involved in her case hypothesise that a python may have shed the parasite via its faeces into the grass. They believe the patient was probably infected with the parasite directly from touching the native grass or after eating the greens.

Moral of the story: make sure you wash all the snake shit off your produce and hands before eating.

I'm trying to find where in the Fediverse I can get my fill of short form videos.

I really like going on Instagram and seeing short recipe videos, or little videos of people painting, or 30 seconds of a stand up routine, or someone giving me gardening tips, or someone sharing their thoughts on sometimes quite serious matters in a short form video.

I really don't like that Instagram is currently my best option for this.

Mastodon has some posts like this but you can't find them specifically. Lemmy presumably has some like this somewhere. I don't think PixelFed does videos currently. Vine is long dead.

What is my best option for this on the Fediverse so I can bin off one more social media app?

Interestingly, these used to be called 'jokes' before memes existed.

Well that was a rollercoaster.

"He didn't do it, but he's leaving anyway"

Fantastic he's going but slightly absurd announcement.

The hilarious thing is you can't post from Sync yet, only comment, so for every post about Sync someone had to use their browser or another app to post it.

Oh my god it's beautiful. It's so beautiful.

All Lemmy instances are test environments right now. It's just that lemmy.world is being tested the hardest.

This is not very casual!
