I really didn’t want to install Vista. I didn’t like how it looked or felt so I swapped out XP for Ubuntu. I stayed until Win7 and switched back to windows, but windows 8 rolled around and I went to Fedora. I’ve been here ever since.

It depends on the game. I mostly play from the couch while my wife watches TV after the kiddo goes to bed. Some games I play totally muted but others get a little volume. If there’s no one around to distract, I’ll usually play around 30-50% volume.

Cutting edge application releases so I get the newest toys after they’ve been decently tested

I mostly like sci-fi and comedies. In no particular order:

  1. Battlestar Galactica (the 05 remake)
  2. Scrubs
  3. Fringe
  4. Chuck
  5. Person of Interest
  6. Dark
  7. Mr Robot

Do you mean actual NSFW content or things being called “_____ porn” like “unix porn” or “fight porn”?

Personally, I’m a fan of event based mega threads. I wild much rather a magazine have one big thread of everyone discussing a topic than 3 pages of the same info from different sources all discussing the same event.

For recurring mega threads, it depends on the community. They helped drive discussion in some of the smaller subreddits I was in. But recurring mega threads for medium or large communities just add to the clutter.

I’m hoping kbin doesn’t adopt an algorithm to push specific magazines to the top. Or adopt ad based revenue streams. I tried switching to the Reddit app after losing Apollo and the ads were so aggressive, I couldn’t differentiate the ads from the content.

Outlook.com is a free, personal email service from Microsoft.

From Microsoft’s website. Depending on context, Outlook can be their email service similar to Gmail or a Desktop email client similar to Thunderbird.

I would definitely like to try out the force unleashed

You don’t have to from a story perspective. There are some quality of life things that 2 has, but they’re both really great games.

 

What does the kbin community think about having new user accounts subscribed to some set of default communities to get them started and show how the platform works? Rather than starting from ground 0, users can have ~20-30 communities and then add/remove from there. Similar to how Reddit has default subreddits or MySpace had everyone friends with Tom.

Not only would it help grow fledgling communities, but it would also help showcase federation if we included some of the Lemmy or Mastadon sites as well.

Just a small example list:

While I'm not advocating those all be defaults, if every user new user received the same "federated start communities" it shows how kbin interact with these other platforms and helps grow the entire fediverse.

I'm just one kbin user, so what does everyone else think?
