To be honest, this is actually a genius move when it comes to NSFW content.

Almost every pornographic sub has already been astroturfed by e-girls plugging their OnlyFans and Fansly links. Giving them the ability to paywall their content directly on Reddit effectively cuts out the middle-man and allows Reddit to undercut the likes of OF and Fansly with lower transaction fees.

98SE, 2000, XP (Service Pack 3) and 7 were Windows at their peak.

Windows 8 and 8.1 were screwed by Microsoft's insistence at creating a more mobile-friendly OS, when the Metro menu was just bad for the desktop user experience. A lot of disgruntled 8/8.1 users did flock to 10 because having the Start menu back was seen as a compromise to having forced telemetry tracking in your OS.

As for Windows 11, it's getting super shit. Recall AI is being baked into the OS, which will effectively allow Microsoft to snoop and capture data on your computer activity. They claim to not capture sensitive info like bank details or credit card numbers, but I think that's been proven wrong.

Also, 11 is hardly an upgrade feature-wise, yet requires a significantly beefier PC, and was released at a time when the world was still going through a significant semiconductor shortage.

The only real hurdle for widespread Linux adoption is anti-cheat support. That, and either getting Linux versions of industry standard software (Microsoft 365, Adobe CS, 3DS Max, etc) or decent support through Wine/Proton.

Lemmy is undeniably smaller but it feels a lot more free, like I'm not walking on eggshells when posting here.

On Reddit I have to mince my words on a lot of subs and be careful about using certain words, lest I want Automoderator to effectively shadowban me. Reddit is ruled by tyrannical power mod assholes who likely got slammed into lockers and beaten for their lunch money in high school, and are now using their role as an internet janitor to exert a repressed power fantasy. And don't get me started on the Tintin-looking supreme cuck who owns Reddit Inc either.

Put it this way, Lemmy is a place where you can post about Luigi Mangione, or about the people involved in Elon Musk's DOGE operation without risking a ban.

Kinda limited, in the sense that I didn't have my own computer until about 2006 and just had a "family" PC before then, which my brother and dad used.

One of my earliest memories from the late 90's (I would have been about 8 years old) was making a website on MaxPages, which was one of those build-your-own-website services. Mine listed video game cheats and passcodes. I didn't have much time to add to my page as my computer skills were limited and I didn't get much time on the computer, so I got bad reviews just for not having much content. Some asshole on one of their public chatrooms hacked my account and defaced my site a few weeks later. I think his name was Ray.

For reasons I'd rather not go into, I had a more limited exposure to Flash games and didn't really get involved with Newgrounds until my late teens. Cartoon Network (at least the US/Canada site) used to have a great selection of Flash games though.

By my teens I was playing RuneScape actively (2005 - 2007), then World of Warcraft (2007 - 2012.)

Luigi looks like he's about to drop the most 🔥 rap album of 2025 in that photo.

OP hasn't provided sources, but since this is a good meme and Elon Musk's Nazi antics are all over the news, I'm willing to let it slide.

Relevant sources (and we're barely scratching the surface here):

but are there any things literally only males like?

Unfortunately trans rights are a hard-sell to the public. And I'm not stating this out of any transphobia or support towards your comment.

A lot of people (especially anybody Gen-X or older) hold transphobic views. It's one of the big reasons why support for the Scottish National Party fell apart.

Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.

Aren't the AfD only doing well in parts of East Germany, which had previously been under decades of Soviet rule?

This would be a more substantial counter-protest if it occurred in Leipzig or Dresden.

Engaging in small talk is "nicebombing" and is psychopathic behaviour? Now I have seen everything...

Reminds me of how any guy who develops feelings for a woman, gets rejected and feels upset at being heartbroken is labelled a Nice Guy™, or worse, an incel.

Sometimes I wonder if an external influence of some kind has been messing with the psyche of the modern generations. Maybe decades of austerity, flouride in tap water, social media addiction, microplastics or vape fluids containing far nastier chemicals than nicotine?

All of the above, plus:

• Reddit for turning their platform into a partisan shithole
• Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg for allowing right wing propaganda and disinformation to proliferate on their platforms.
• Joe Rogan for political bias (inviting Donald Trump and not Kamala Harris onto his podcast)
