i know that this type of sexual behavior is described on the kinsey scale since i’m op’s exact opposite; but the verbose justification where kinsey was more succinct has my-lady-doth-protest-too-much energy, but with a dash of transphobia.

I never thought of it as powerful before and I like it! Lol

I used to be on .world also but left partially because of the points you’ve made and switching to .ml has been MUCH better for me.

I’ve been moving from one social media platform to another, since the time of icq & bbs, every time it enshitifies and it’s clear that happens once it becomes centralized enough and w significant financial backing.

.world and .ee are the closest things to that, that exists on the lemmyverse and I hope that they don’t go down the same path.

Not more stoked than I; I’ve never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.

I’m aware that it makes people cringe, but it’s so true that I’ve never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for… Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

Lemmy is the only fediverse island I’ve spent an appreciable amount of time in since it has everything I want.

I would imagine that the larger islands like mastodon or threads would have more of that content you’re looking for

these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there’s nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you’ve never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.

why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?

lemmy’s been a godsend for me and i also had a learning curve, but i’m think i’m past the hump at this stage.

i see the “less content” argument over and over again and i feel lucky because it has more than enough content for me since i mostly used reddit and i was active on the political & open source technology subreddits. lemmy was intended to be political and open source tech from the start, so i there’s more content than i could ever consume and i wonder how other people make it work since (mostly americans) tend to avoid both subject areas.

technically; that was a movie, not tng.

i abandoned reddit, facebook, instagram, twitter and snapchat for lemmy 2 years ago i feel IMMENSLEY better; i strongly recommend it!

Me for the past 4 years because they dgaf what the contractors say and the employees are too scared of losing their jobs. Lol

That would explain it, especially the multi-distro request; that’s not a thing for newbies ime

This is a tall order of you’ve never worked w bootloader’s or at least Linux wo x-windows.

If you share your intentions; we’d be better able to help you reach your goals.

that’s why i donate mine each time i get one.

also because i feel that i’m literally branding myself as a target for any thieves out there. lol

i bet this is what caused the bronze age collapse and will be the only thing that can change our trajectory; short of an invasion

but I did log into my Google account

I did log into Windows 11 with my Microsoft account.

both google and microsoft are constantly slurping your data (including ip addresses and browser fingerprints) to sell to sites like reddit and they make a TON of money off it. i know for a fact that reddit buys google’s analytics and that could explain whey it took a couple of days to catch up with you.

I don’t track every IP address I’ve ever used.

sites like reddit do keep track of your ip address via automated means and this is another way they can track you

There’s just WAY more content on Reddit that you can’t get on Lemmy.

is that content still worth it despite knowing that you’re supporting the consent manufacturing that enables endless wars and genocides like the gazans or perpetuating the capitalist profit motives that makes things like housing and eggs so unaffordable for us?

i know that it seems like your contributions to this dystopian system feels negligible at most and likening reddit usage to it feels specious; but then again the drop of rain would never feel responsible for the flood if it could and, after all, it’s only rain.

My job requires me to work w KVM/QEMU utilities on x86 architecture and utm is dog slow since I have an m2 MacBook.

Instead I use ssh into X86 servers; hence the keyboard mapping woes

did you use the same websites on brave that you normally use?

did you use a different operating system?

did you use a brave account on it?

did you verify that your vpn was using an exit point ip address that you’ve never used before every single time you accessed reddit?

most importantly: why bother using reddit?

detoriation of their gui is a great way to put it; i’ve been using mac’s on and off for since 2004 and their gui used to be top notch, but it it feels that all the user experience changes that have been foisted upon mac’s gui is done so without consideration for their original gui’s so now they’re in this strange, semi-working state.

i hadn’t thought of that; thanks for the idea!
