I am become Noodle

There a reason if the alternative doesn’t exist or isnt good enough.

I’m really not a fan of Discord. Why would anyone use a platform that’s not accessible without making an account and requires an invite to each group? If it wasn’t branded towards gamers I don’t think it would have much appeal.

This is speculation but I suspect people are already oversubscribed to social media and just spending a bit longer in other places they already go. So if they’re on Discord, they’re probably just spending more time there.

You seem to think a big number means a big pile of green goo. But actually…

All of the used fuel ever produced by the commercial nuclear industry since the late 1950s would cover a whole football field to a height of approximately 10 yards.

It’s OK. Downvotes don’t matter too badly here.

I’d say Apple being a lifestyle brand means the users aren’t going to have privacy as a primary concern is the real reason behind this. And it’s hard to get out of the walled garden once you’re in.

This is just good practice. You don’t have to trust anyone’s word that what you’re installing is what they say it is when you can trust your own eyes.

It never was. Read Apple’s true privacy agreement on their website. It’s the one you agree to but don’t read when you boot up your shiny new mac or iphone for the first time. They are no different from Microsoft or Google, they are just the best at cultivating an image.

You could probably fit all of the nuclear waste America produces in few trucks. It’s not as much as people think.

Friends and family, sure But in the UK nothing official is using WhatsApp. It’s all SMS or email. In which countries do companies use WhatsApp for customer support?

I bought music from several artists on Bandcamp and could not download some of it 12 months later. Artist unresponsive, Bandcamp support unwilling to help. And now Tencent has it’s tendrils in the company so expect it to get worse.

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

Open source is better these days but it still can’t entirely replace everything. One day, we’ll be able to make the switch though

Ardour is close but not quite there yet IMO. Once a year or so I give it a try again but when Reaper works so well on Linux its hard to justify the switch.
