I think this is honestly the biggest issue. Web search has been garbage for years, with legit the only saving grace being Reddit users sharing their knowledge. This is gonna have a horrible effect on producing good search results.

I’ve been a heavy forum user for well beyond half my life, and the social media boom ruined that whole world such that all I really have now is reddit, so I’m pretty upset about it honestly. I’m sure it’ll eventually be fine, but the uncertainty sucks right now.

I’m used to the shit I do online eventually being replaced by something else that’s better, as I eventually forget the old thing exists for a while. This is a much more harsh ending to Reddit, so I’m really hoping Lemmy becomes all it can be with a healthy community.

I’m on Endeavour right now. I just got a Thinkpad E15 G4 specifically so I could have a Linux PC, as I’m regrettably running Win11 on my tower PC w/RTX GPU because of how many games I (and more significantly my children) play that either don’t work or don’t work as well on Linux.

I start with Mandrake in 2002, then Ubuntu from 2005-2013, and have been on Arch pretty exclusively since 2017 aside from some random distro-hopping for fun. I was gonna run it on here, but I just didn’t feel like going through the installation process today, so I said screw it and threw on Endeavour, and honestly it’s really nice having a fairly vanilla Arch experience without having to figure out my network manager, and starting every little thing from scratch and all that. Think I’ll probably stick with it ❤️

They’re not gonna repeal anything. The only thing that will stop this is by Reddit dying and becoming a part of web history, which is hopefully on its way to happening.

It’s already bad with the blackouts. Maybe Bing will finally have its day in the sun lol

To the surprise of literally nobody. Oh well. Enjoy the mass exodus when people stop using reddit because it no longer props up google. Maybe it’ll hurt Reddit and Google 😍

It’s normal if you have dylsexia/ADHD <3

Wonderful games, but I’ve already played BOTW into the ground and there’s zero chance Yuzu will run TOTK well on my AMD 5625u APU machine (that being said, I am of course playing it obsessively on both the Switch and emulated on my tower PC w/much higher specs), …and of course neither of them are 90s/00s games… but thanks anyways ❤️

hahaha no problem. I had a feeling something like that was up, but the thing that made me really want to join was that the conversations I saw were people actually communicating and not being giant dickbags so I intend to keep that going 👍

Thanks for the tip!
