So I was one of those back in 06 and I’m in my mid to late 30s now.

I don’t use Facebook anymore and stopped using Facebook a decade ago because of all the timeline changes.

My guess is they’ve continued to make the timeline stuff worse and worse and that’s why people stop posting cause you don’t actually see each others posts half the time it’s filled with random suggested shit.

That hasn’t really been my experience, talking to a lot of people tends to seem like most people seem closer to my age 30s with an interest in tech or a tech background.

I haven’t really run into many teenagers in discussions.

Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.

I don’t think the size difference works in the favour of lmg.

If gamers nexus puts out pretty much industry leading day one reviews out on every launch with 5-6 people and LMG with labs and 100+ employees can’t then there’s something wrong.

GN has a point LMG shits out videos without QC and it’s starting to bite them of late. The water block review is the perfect example of just being stupid. Why not just test the item with the right product and judge it for what it is as opposed to turning it into a joke review where no matter what the product is going to look bad.

The short circuit thing with the mouse is also a bit ridiculous.

But the charts are the main thing, I’ve noticed it myself over the years that lmg charts made no sense relative to gamers nexus or HUb or even jayz 2 cents which meant something was wrong with the testing.

Yeah Steve steve and Wendell would be an amazing trio, Gordon is also really good but he can be a bit rage heavy for me

Just how little it seems people in my role seem to actually do or know about their role.

Also how it seems that every time I try to make requests based on facts, figures and numbers it always ends up being more of a we'll do things based on the vibe because they don't need to see the data as they already " know " the data.

Basically, I make a request for more budget, but I get pushed back your budget should be like Y budget as we have looked at the numbers and deem it so. I have data that proves our budget can't be like Y budget due to 2 to 3x the workload. Surprised Pikachu face.

It's happened to me 3-4 times now and it makes me think maybe I take my job too seriously.

If you're genuinely looking for Linux Laptops I'd take a look at https://starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter

There's also https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/index.php

It does make me wonder though sometimes, my feed is nothing but these kinds of memes being repeated daily...

usenet is almost always faster, there's never an issue with torrent lacking seeds and it's theoretically safer as you do not upload any content when downloading which if you do download a lot using torrents will put you in a certain legal grey area about distributing files.

but aside from all of that the integration with the arr stack and the automation makes it just so much more god damned convenient.

I think they are trying to come up with an exit strategy to another platform. The more they put this off and delay and delay the less likely they are to gain any traction of users to move, if anything I think it's just an excuse to not move as you said later.

In reality, it’s just an excuse to put off the inevitable. They really don’t want to rebuild, so it’s all or nothing and a tough thing to let go.

Truth is they don't want to leave reddit and most moderators had their bluff called about the situation. I'm not saying they're power hungry or spez was right but they don't want to leave because it's too difficult for them to start over and build communities or they don't have the skills to do it. Some might dislike the lack of prestige as well who knows. However, they're sticking around clearly because they don't want to leave and deep down inside they have hope that something will change and they will go back to the old normal, some will come to accept the new normal and change their minds.

I've personally been down this route before where I invested thousands of man hours into communities but sometimes you just need to know it's time to move on close up shop and do something else, I just don't think most of the people who moderate on Reddit have the stomach for it.

I have been using liftoff also but it is very difficult to find new communities not on your instance or on lemmy.world through the app I couldn't figure it out at first glance so I add them through a web browser and then can access them on the app

This one is really a big deal and people don't really take it so serious, this was actually something that would get a lot of attention for Reddit outside of Reddit. I wouldn't be surprised if the Admins take over the subreddit long term to get that turned around or come up with another solution for it because while celebrity envy is gross it does attract the masses.
