with how contentious Red Hat and Canonical decisions have been lately, the mid panel should have Arch and Debian replacing Ubuntu and Fedora.

There's should be a Matrix app in the middle or at the right.

[–] gamma@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Middle is Matrix and ActivityPub, right is Session, SimpleX, and Nostr

is IRC still a thing? was huge 20 years ago, what happened to it

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Twitch chat uses IRC weirdly enough.

Probably more popular than ever technically.

[–] beansthefrog@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

It’s still around, just in a much smaller capacity. IRC clients are still being actively developed today too.

I am on arch rn and I think that I'm still on the middle one from the pic.

[–] platysalty@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use Edge, my favourite (or more accurately, most comfortable) OS is probably Ubuntu, and I self host a bunch of stuff.

The hell does that make me?

With every passing year, little by little I go deeper to the privacy paranoid side.

But my focus is way more anti big corporation than pro privacy, that fact those are almost one and the same is mostly a side effect for me.

I tick all the boxes for the middle one

Oh god, this meme. It's not something I've ever seen before, but it's so true.

God, Tor, freaking Tor. Bless it's heart, really, but it's practically unusable. At least for me. I was really getting into it, trying to use it as a daily browser, ran with so much less ram than all the others. But it's practically unusable! All the shitty websites I had to go on daily for School practically didn't work, and half the websites would always take at least 10-15 minutes to get working because they keep thinking I'm a hacker. Or it's just region blocked, and I have to spend SO MUCH TIME making new connections in the hopes it doesn't go to a single blacklisted country. Sometimes even with a phone there to authenticate, it just doesn't work. So I had Firefox anyway, it was literally what Tor was built off of. And because of how unbelievably inconvenient and annoying Tor (Or more accurately, how shitty the Internet in general has got, I really wouldn't mind logging in to every website every time, with a phone authentication every so often) was, I ended up just using Firefox and using Tor for dark web stuff. Essentially, what it's supposed to be used for.

Linux...man, Linux was always one of those things I wanted to get into, but thinking critically, it would be very dumb for me to do. Almost every single thing I do is required by a Windows app. Critical and niche shit, mind you. So essentially, it'd be the Tor situation all over again. I'd be doing effectively everything worthless on Linux while molesting my computer for a VM for windows, which I would be doing on a daily basis for practically as long as I use the computer. So I'm practically stuck being a normie. I try to do everything I can to stop all these companies and shit tracking me and have my machine running faster, like running scripts to debloat windows, but in the end, it doesn't amount to too much. I'm stuck a normie, no matter how much of a poser I act.
