I feel the same. I prefer less crowded places, but I believe it would be better for us all if people left any kind of corporate or attention draining social media.

Please, tell me more

They tried to fix it, but gnome didn't allow to customize the comment

Thank you for the in depth explanation

I've lost a decade of my life too, and I know how that feels... I don't care for conversations or what people think, but I suffer a lot from that hole no one else understands. I hope you find a way to feel better about it.

You have a lot of ram, linux will try to use most of it, it's a normal thing. There's a huge difference from using a large amount of ram when available to NEEDING that amount to run.Try installing both OSes on a machine with 4gb, and see the difference between them. One will be usable, while the other will have a poor performance. You can even push it harder with a 1gb machine. Linux will provide a system with basic functionality, while windows will be unusable.

Is there an actual way to stop it? I don't think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

Can someone eli5 why emule stopped being used, if people liked it so much?

The way I see it, soulseek is focused on sharing smaller files and niche stuff to a small community. For large files, or things with a large audience, other tools would be better suited.

I use soulseek quite often. It's a good source of books and pdfs too.

You just have to talk and explain everything. Oh, wait...

You got me. I should stop taking things too literally
