  • I read it was Pokémon like and wrote it off. I’ve tried to but never enjoyed Pokémon. I grew up on jrpg’s so you’d think that was right up my alley. But I disgress…

    The comments here paint a more complex story. It honestly still doesn’t seem like my type of game, but my curiosity is piqued. I’ll check it out.




  • You got my number on that one. And you’re right about them being cut from the same cloth and part of a bigger problem. I suppose Musk annoys me more because he’s louder.

    I can’t argue against being ethical in media consumption being a waste of time in the sense that the tiny percentage of us that choose to boycott any given platform make no difference. But I think having ideals and following them is worthwhile and I will continue to do so.

    But I was also sincere in my statement that I don’t think you (or anyone) has to share that concern. Those are my ideals. They don’t have to be yours and I don’t expect that of anyone.







  • TL;DR: Ubuntu. Because I want choices.

    Ubuntu. And I’ve felt that way for a long time, so it’s not something recentish like snaps.

    I don’t want my distro to decide what DE and software I’m using for me. They used to have a minimal iso which gave you, as the name suggests, a very minimal install. But now their minimal image is meant for containerized stuff and if memory serves comes with some extra cruft for that purpose.

    I got annoyed and I left. And every distro I’ve tried since, even if I didn’t stick with it, I liked better.

    To add some constructiveness, as that’s just complaining. That can be a good thing, just depends on the user. If they want the crafted experience Ubuntu provides, then it’s a good pick. It’s just not for me.


  • I wonder if it is notorious?

    Do most Linux users (in this context we’ll say people who specifically choose to use Linux and by extension chose a specific distribution) look unfavorably on proprietary software being excluded by default?

    For me, I prefer it so I don’t see it that way. But it is also an extra step and an annoyance if you want things to “just work”. Which is an understandable position.

    Food for thought, I guess.



  • Beehaw is my home in the fediverse, and I’m happy here. I like that they try to maintain a positive community. But if Beehaw left the fediverse, I wouldn’t come along. Which is a change from thinking I might last time I saw this topic come up.

    If beehaw ends up in a silo I think it will just have too little to offer for me. And that’s ok. This isn’t about me, it’s about creating a safe space for your disenfranchised users.

    I hope Beehaw stays, but I understand if they don’t.
