"How about I pay with my blood?" Actually, sshh, don't give them ideas!

Oh, totally. I've lost count of the times I've helped folks with their computers and most of their problems seem to be from using Windows: "I'm confused about antivirus," "I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much," "I'm unsure if I'm on the correct site to download an exe file from," "I keep getting ads in my taskbar," "I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so," and on and on, and I just think "If only you'd simply try Linux."

Sigh. This is where I have to mention Brendan Eich yet again.

Yes. Yes, it has.

I love AntennaPod! I've relied on it for what feels like a few years (has it even been around that long?) and can't recommend it enough. Just give it time to get used to!

It started off well enough, but then it began talking about "left-wing propaganda" being promoted by Microsoft - an inherently right-wing capitalist corporation - and instantly lost all credibility. I expected it to degenerate into Covid denialism and tinfoil hat-wearing antisemitic conspiracy theories and tropes. Hardly a way to win over "normies" by sounding like an absolute freak in the first place.

Edit: Just checked and to be fair, the entire instance describes itself as "content on liberating your electronics from the tyranny of left wing Big Tech surveillance." God that's some mental gymnastics right there: left-wing capitalism. Please read a book.

It's almost as if the prime minister himself was a selfish billionaire or something. Oh wait!

I had no idea, so I'm glad this was posted - thanks!

I'm wondering, since I also have a kbin account, how effectively can I follow all the subscriptions I've had on Lemmy.ml?

I use Liftoff as my main app currently, and I assume I am probably yet to fully use its capabilities since I'm not always getting some of my subscriptions coming up, especially the kbin ones I found there and subscribed to from my Lemmy account.

I agree with a few others here in mentioning /e/ from the Murena phone folks (you can buy a Murena phone with /e/OS preinstalled if you don't have an older device they've listed as compatible on their website).

There you go: https://www.wsj.com/articles/mozilla-ceo-brendan-eich-to-step-down-1396554132

And their CEO is a bigot.

The year of the Linux desktop! (Sorry...)
