Well I’d lean on the shoulder of giants in terms of the actual service and not do it completely from scratch given we’ve got Facebook-likes in the fediverse, you could suggest to them. But basically yes from a network perspective unfortunately

Although you have given me an idea for an angle that the fediverse is perfect for: set up an instance for your local area

That allows you to also do the “screw untrustworthy big tech, keep things local with people you know” kind of angle.

Also obviously a fair bit of work, and you still have to ultimately convince people to use it, but worth highlighting regardless.

You unfortunately are coming at the problem from the wrong direction.

The only social network they will want to use is the one with all their friends on it; and for the older generations, that’s basically just Facebook.

In order to get them to move you’d need to get their friends to move, and in order to get their friends to move, you’ll need to get their friends to also move. It’s called the network effect and it’s why it’s incredibly hard for any non-established social networks to gain much of a market share.

Your best bet (which is by no means a guarantee) is to wait for the latest Facebook scandal to be in the news, and chat to them about it whilst they’re watching it on TV. Plus add a bit more fuel by doing the ol’ “oh this reminds me of something else I was reading a couple of months ago…” And have some other recent scandals in your back pocket to fire out. Bonus points if you can already establish yourself on something like Friendica, which will allow you to say “yeah I quit Facebook a while ago, the company running it just seems skeevy, I’ve been using friendica instead for a bit now” or something like that

Then you have to hope that registers enough as a talking point amongst them and their friends that it sticks. But you have an uphill struggle ahead with no certainty of success.

8% feels like a pretty low estimate that’s probably based on the high end where the margins are high enough they can absorb some of the cost.

I’m already expecting the cheapest options are probably going to roughly double in price

Ahhh that makes a bit more sense but a cool bit of trivia at least.

I know the shield uses the same processor as the switch 1 (or something very similar), so I wondered if there was a chance of an actual native port, but then I guess we’d have also seen a switch native version in that case

I’m sorry there’s an android version of Twilight princess?!

Is this the link you intended to post?

Oh really? I’ve been having it the same time as my vitamins, should I space them out then?

What a ridiculous take, thanks for saving me the time

Okay so it wasn’t just me that thought the title was a weird way of wording it

So in America you need to basically pay someone’s salary in order to get healthcare?

Why aren’t you guys rolling out the guillotine again?

They can die, but that can happen at any time and isn’t strictly linked to how much they’re used

I kinda hate these achievements exist

I opened it once then didn’t play the original for 5 years to get the bloody achievement. It was good fun after the wait

Kinda not sure I’m gonna actually bother to wait 10 for the next.

What a cool project, I’ll try to remember it next time I go past some benches in unexpected places

I feel kinda nostalgic for that IE3-5 download dialog

AI is making people across the board stupid

I don’t think other civilisations would see it as any different to reality television

It’s ultimately just videos of humans doing human things

Donate to Lemmy (or Piefed) development directly, then your home instance. If you’ve still got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, donating to instances that host communities you particularly care about is also something you can do

Almost the same as me at the start of this year, got a 5900XT and went up to 64GB of RAM for 250-300 quid

Funnily enough I did that because I was telling myself the current crop of GPUs are overpriced so I’ll try and hold on to my 3080 for a couple more years, so upgrading other parts would make sense whilst I waited.

Now it’s all overpriced!

As if the average American is throwing away nearly enough calories for the average person to live comfortably on

Did you guys not get the “starving children in Africa” and “eyes bigger than your belly” stuff from your parents?

I mean, if you’re an arch user you probably should get it, given it’s kinda the same train if thought that brings most arch users to choose that.

The point is being a barebones system you can do what you want on top of, it tries to avoid making any choice for you.

I’ve kinda often thought of it as the step between LFS and Gentoo/Arch for users who want the most control over their system.
