I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.

I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn’t supported on Linux.

I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.

You’ve reached lemmy.one!

Tailscale all the way.

Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.

YouTube Premium, Hulu, Spotify. I pay for these family plans. My wife and I use two seats, and our closest friends are on them as well. In turn, we get their Prime Video, Audible, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc. We all just split the cost.

I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.

I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.

I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.

But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

Oh, man. Getting that kind of stuff in writing is soooo good. * chef’s kiss *

Yes! Little Pembroke Welsh Corgi x Chihuahua mix. He’s a cute little bugger!

YouTube Pants™ coming soon to a mobile app near you!

It’s a good point, albeit a highly unfortunate one. No faster way to get me to spend less time in your app than to make it the same as all the others, you know?

I understand the logical concept here but struggle to really get it. As platforms do this homogenization, I lose interest in all of them. I’d far rather have several platforma that do one or two things really, really well instead of a bunch of platforms that do everything, but poorly.

I like your comment about a trend toward mediocrity!

I happen to like the shorts. I only wish your shirts subscriptions were separate from your regular subscriptions. Otherwise I don’t have any issues with it.

However, I do know a lot of people do take issue with it, and that’s okay!

I really don’t get why all these social platforms try so hard to just be copies of each other. I like having diverse and different platforms for different things. Once they all started homogenizing, I really stopped using most social media.

And when LinkedIn added their ripoff of Instagram Stories I was like…aaaaand that’s it for me. Why does a professional site need a stories feature?
