My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don't really have a machine to just throw fedora on
I was close to it. I'm an advocate for paying for services I use. We're way too used to getting everything for free and we should be willing to pay for services we appreciate.
Which made me realise that Facebook especially I don't appreciate. So I quit instead. It had value to me once but those times are long gone.
Much harder to get distracted with a pen and paper. Main reason I use it.
High price for unproven talent feels like the theme of the football world right now

I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?
I think you're spot on and it applies in general to why we see a trend of subscriptions. When we all got our first smartphones, most apps were local and it didn't cost the developer more if they had 1M downloads compared to if they had 50 downloads.
I think the main issue is we don't know where Lemmy is one year from now. I have already started to see a decline in my usage because there simply isn't enough content. /c/football is virtually dead it feels like and it (or rather /r/soccer) was my number one subreddit.
What the hell, this is so impressive. I'm blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!
Pff, this has to do with people caring more about their polling numbers than the environment.
Actually saving the environment requires some hard sacrifices and it's hard to be the elected leader who tells their voters that they're going to pay more and get less.
But in non-democratic countries you're right of course.
Are you kidding me? Just checked this community for the first time in a month and this post is 15 minutes old? That's freaky timing
I said in my final paragraph that Lemmy is nice but there is so little content here. The communities I frequent here (with very active reddit counterparts) have like a submission every few days. Just check !football@lemmy.world for example.
