We’re in a generation of complacency. Nobody cares and our to busy consuming to care.

I would say Apple isn’t as severe as something like Meta or “X” but the amount of influence apple has over the industry is insane. There’s a reason why so many laptops are losing ports “because the MacBook has it” or why smartphones are stagnating and when they “innovate” they’re just removing more features like the SD card reader all simply because “Apple did it”. Hell, Windows has been trying to be like Mac OS for years from its flat minimal design to its oversimplification of its design to trying to make their own “eco system”. Apple’s influence can even extend beyond tech with their flat minimalist, corporate design being applied to every industry and building and design ever to be conceived in 2023. Everyone is trying to be Apple from Tech companies to fast food joints. Truly if we measure their influence and the power they carry moving entire industries to do various things. They are one of the most powerful company in silicon valley. Everything we hate about modern tech and how restrictive it is can be sourced all the way back to Apple.

Wouldn’t it happen by now considering how much MSFT/corporate influence Linux already has?

Both designs really need to make a comeback as an option

neat. Though now i wish my ipod supported opus (besides rockbox) but thats much nicer to know!

whats the difference between opus and 320 mp3?

Based weezer :)

Why are you even getting downvoted when someone else said the exact same thing?

I mean really if you don’t like your current DE, you can always just switch within your own distro. For example, you can switch from cinnamon to gnome for mint.

Damn that was a lucky find!!!

I love collecting CDs especially from thrift stores. The hunt for some rare or obscure albums or even some of my favorites is always thrilling.

Hoping that works out!

Knowledge is power.

Well hope it was still really good!

Yes, since you’re using Kbin.social, you’re able to see me and everyone else here!

It sounds like what you meant to ask was more about interoperability between different platforms

You hit it spot on. Exactly what I mean. I wish there was more and during my first time in lemmy back at july I’ve seen a few mastodon accounts being able to communicate here however we weren’t able to directly influence mastodon or pixelfed.

News especially. I find Mastodon alot more positive than here sometimes. Not to say everyone is mean or anything of course. I just find it more cozy

Yeah the hashtags reach out to really any instance that is atleast related to Mastodon. I’ve seen a few misskey.io ones and a few others i forgot the names to but they both share alot

That is a crazy thought really. Us being able to communicate. I always really love to see the @ handles for some instances as it brings on this togetherness and uniqueness that no other site (or really protocol) gives me. Honestly kinda weird some apps prefer to hide that instance label rather than show it.

Oh yeah I heard how amazing fedilab is!
