welp, looks like you don’t use python virtualenvs… well i guess jokes on you all your shit is probably broken now (and as a bonus, that’s probably a big part of the donwload size as well) :p

nice… so we need a github marketing campaign to fund the software that makes the world run? nice…

the one thing that most federated platforms have over centralised structures is the possibility to migrate out of your current shitty fiefdom and the fact that the actual code is open source, so a community can make the choices about the possibilities the technology provides (which is mostly usually better than whatever a for profit company is “forced” into), whereas a centralised platform like bluesky can just ruin the codebase and keep it’s users hostage… which after all is one of the key factors to enshitification

edit: i do agree on your other points though, social networks are bound to turn into bubbles and we’ve already seen defederation based on petty squabbles :shrugs:

a bachelor of latte arts? xD

tbf it probably is still significantly less that windows, i was being a bit facetious…but it’s still at like 1-1,5gb idling on a fresh boot (this is the whole DE, not just cinnamon)…

i did a fresh install with mate on an old machine though and it was a lot less (the usual 500mb or something) can’t see anything suspicious running though - and yes I did check without any stuff running in the background like steam which is also stupidly intensive with their webkit nonsense

does it still use the same amount of ram as windows? :/

i was going to mention some books too but then i saw the pink floyd answer and realised that would be far more likely to not end up sitting on a shelf :(

yeh plus old should be specified probably… i got an x230 for this reason, changed 2 screens and both hdmi outs are dead (second one being on the dock)

very sad about that, it even has an easy access hdd drawer :(

ah fair… we used dudette cos it’s funny but i get the point…

guess i never thought about it much cos i jumped on the chance to be encouraged to use all the sillier alternatives at work etc haha

can you explain how guys is gender neutral? or did i miss the /s?
