I tell people to make a live usb to test it first.

Most people just use the online office 365 thing.

What issues did you have with LibreOffice? I didn’t spot any problems when I used it

Its a good idea for their shareholders, who don’t think beyond the next quater. Pretty sure most of them don’t have object permanence.

Thats… the point of flatpak.

I don’t : )

I really don’t understand the flatpak hate. Stuff doesn’t magically work across distros, and app devs don’t usually want to debug every major one. If you’re running linux on a thinkpad from 2004, sure, it wouldn’t be the best but most people can probably afford the overhead.

Sure, but when are they going to remove that registry option?

Why is everyone reccommending linux mint all of a sudden? What happened to ubuntu and fedora?

Because we need your data silly 😊

Or linux.

Pavlov Reaction?

I wouldn’t say that, more just abusing a monopoly.

The stickers, pins and tote bags are still in stock. The plush is the one in high demand.

True, but they also just don’t fucking advertise it at all, and its on a forgotten subdomain only linked to in a blogpost, and the date on the page still says 2023 at the bottom.

Mastodon has merch, but it sells out near-instantly.

You’re saying this on lemmy.

Well, its easy to build an app on atproto, but lord forbid you want to do anything with a pds. The activitypub spec is so much easier to read and understand than the pds spec.

Also, portable identity is possible on activitypub as well, its just not implemented in many projects.

Its still not really decentralised, because all the pds’s need to be crawled by a relay, but its still a pretty cool technology. Someone made flushes.app which I think is a good demonstration of how it can be used.

You can login with any pds (personal data server) on frontpage, i can self host my own one, and login with it on frontpage.
