      We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.

      Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.

      Windophobic?

        Are the rumours about Arch being too hard true? If someone’s experienced with Debian and Fedora, will they find Arch too hard?

          Ime, not really. It feels daunting the first time, but the installation guide on the wiki is actually really good at holding your hand through it.

          Just be careful not to skip any sections

          I think vanilla Arch is daunting to get going because it drops you in with so little to start with. Once you’re past that I think it’s fine. Especially if you’re already used to Debian and Fedora. Sure, you’ll need to learn to use pacman (Arch’s package manager) and it is a little confusing at times, but there’s a ton of great advice for it online, including the Arch wiki.

          I highly suggest EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch with a better install process. Once its done you’ll have a desktop environment and browser. I’m using CachyOS which is similar but has a little but more stuff, but it’s still Arch. Like you, I’m very confident with other Linux OSes but was wary of Arch. Turns out people have good solutions to get over that worst hurdle nowadays (the original install and getting a desktop environment).

          Also, unlike other derivative distributions like Ubuntu to Debian and Manjaro to Arch, EndeavourOS really is just Arch. It’s just a nicer install process.

          It’s not really difficult but as far as i remember, you have to configure everything yourself, which can be tiring. Depends on your mood though, if you’re into configuring your own linux system, then i guess Arch is perfect for you.

    I love that over on Reddit most of the content is still coming from Xitter. The only change is that they aren’t posting direct links crediting the person who made it.

      Well, from what I’ve seen, they’re really bad at boycotting things. They couldn’t even handle “reddit blackout” in 2023 and most of redditors came back after a day.

        That’s because it happens frequently, so people who are good at boycotting things leave gradually.

        You joke but the sad thing is that this is how OF content creators drum up the most business. They prey on giving lonely/intimacy challenged people some sort of subconscious feeling of hope and connection to someone else inside a screen. Why else would you pay for prawn? It’s literally free all over the internet.

      There was a vibe to it before tumblr banned all the porn. Lots of actual real stuff that was made just because people wanted to without any intention to monetize. Just people having fun. But I’m not sure that exists anymore. I don’t think it was really efficient or anything but I guess if you’re just casually posting some anonymous nudes and share them with a bunch of people it would feel weird to upload that on pornhub.

      I’ve read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I’m really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.

        I think it’s because of the advertising system. Once you stumble onto one of them, you get the “content makers” retweeting eachother. It doesn’t cost them a dime to retweet someone else’s post, and if you retweet, you’re gonna get retweeted.

        I’m still convinced there are some women I know that have/had an only fans (because of sudden changes to living quality without job promotions or other new sources of income). But this system also benefits them, if it is niche stuff like feet for instance, you’ll never find them, and you’ll never know it if you did. If it’s “normal stuff” (good luck getting me to define that, I have no fucking clue anymore) most “content makers” hide their identities pretty well, and I’d bet money that there are unspoken agreements between them to assist in keeping it that way.

    So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).

    This is why we can’t have nice things.
