Touche, I get your point, indeed there’s a lot of tech supporty posts however narrowing the community is only good when it has enough content
How about we wait out on fragmentation for flagship community of the instance until it starts to get at least 5 posts/day (30 posts/week)?
For lurkers hoarding high quality content for this community, this is your sign to press the button “New post”
The number of times I got asked if import/export can be used instead of sync
Forbidden loofah
alt text is added, cheers
a tech illiterate old friend of mine in his 60s got tasked with changing his simcard for new one. But the network just didn’t appear. Long story short after 3 hrs of headbashing I asked him to send me the photo of simcard itself
that was a valuable afternoon for my humility

note the right side of simcard frame bulging out
I enjoyed this vid and as a contribution I’ll spare y’all loading 20 MB of youtube JS

Okay, sorry folks that it looks like a bait to beg the question “what you’ve done?”. But the personal subject is private here.
the cat’s expression meant to show gleeful private happiness over some naughty stuff one might have done and got away with
It might be – the image is not oc I just used it as a template ie posted a link to it and added my caption
I think many people coming to Linux having experienced some significant problems. Something didn’t work for them and they started to look for alternatives
Let’s call typical user David, he maybe has an older PC or laptop. He tried to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and now everything runs much slower. He cannot understand why and answers online are unhelpful. Meanwhile he cannot come back to Windows 7 because it’s support is over. What to do now?
All David’s data (calendar, mail, contacts, chats, documents etc etc) is locked in proprietary systems and now it’s difficult to get out of there. He tries to move to another platform but can’t because he’s restricted by little quirks and lack of support for features he needs.
Still believing that he could unbloat his system David comes across community of an open source app cloud platform – nextcloud. Surprisingly this platform doesn’t want his money or tries to lock him in. It works on any system, it’s got amazing support and community constantly creates new exciting home made modules to do some small but very welcome adjustments.
He realizes that such community is there for operating system as well. A year later he “runs Arch, btw”
This is just one path of a person who wanted his laptop to run as fast as it used to. Other people may dislike overreliance on big tech or would like to support the underdog – independent devs.
Bonus:
First thing I ever gotten from Linux was KDE connect: it didn’t work on Windows but it’s amazing on Linux. It connects devices between each other and let’s you sync the clipboard, use PC keyboard on your phone, send files locally (real fast), switch music tracks on other devices, change volume and a lot more.
Heard of hexbear, lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml trio? Somehow western tankies (who never seen communism in full height) decided that current conflict aligns well with their ideology 😑
Ah yes indeed
Suzanne, tell those gentlemen who say “FBI OPEN UP” to come later this week
Linking my own issue in the hopes that it’s somehow connected
Federation issue: posts and comments from beehaw accounts don’t show up on other instances - Beehaw
This sub is used mostly for providing support to those who didn’t want to register on official forum. It has little traction, memes, shitposting and engagement in general
So its value stems from users providing support to the main product – rather than being engagement farm which is profitable to reddit
To quote Linus Torvalds “**** ***, Nvidia”
I also noticed that I don’t get posts in my feed from some communities of other instances. For example !linuxhumor@lemmy.ml
I can’t find this community via search from beehaw as well unless I preview it on lemmy.ml
Can anybody confirm this?
Yeah me too, that clearly explains our “success” with women
