Never underestimate the network effect and how reluctant people are to move to another social network. The masses just follow the crowd, so every big account moving out from there helps take more users away.

Unfortunately, a lot of people. Probably not so many here on Lemmy but a lot of people. And I even know a couple of them irl :(

They make gaming more and more elitist hobby, and then get surprised when indie games with pixel graphics that can run even on potato devices make a great success.

And libreoffice, and stop using copilot or game pass or any of their services

Thank you for the suggestion

I already used my proton email as contact method on some published stuff that I can’t modify. Do you have some tips for that situation, or am I stuck now?

It’s interesting that you mentioned the term minority, because I find it so ironic that companies invest a lot in marketing how they care about minorities, but then any userbase that isn’t the biggest one is abandoned with a fuck you and a middle finger.

If companies really designed sites and apps thinking on the majority of people they would make their software as lightweight as possible, so that they could run fine on cheaper hardware

Your dad is a great dadjoker!

At this point, it would be more productive to list companies NOT involved in pro-israel agendas, so we can migrate to them

Thanks for the tip, but my phone still uses micro usb lol

I won’t deny, it’s refreshing to see posts like these, and I’ve seen a few of them around the web. Perhaps we’re really going to slowly see some positive change in the tech world.

Good luck, @bpt11@sh.itjust.works and welcome to the community!

I used to, but when someone finally got interested, the usb media was so outdated, that I had to download and write a new iso :D

Love your criteria

Chances are they came from reddit too lol

When you said 16 years, I was expecting something like a core 2 duo and 2gb of ram, but you got some nice specs in there. Any common distro will run fine. Users coming from windows tend to like linux mint, so that’s my suggestion.

Here in Brazil, there are still a lot of laptops, monitors and tvs being sold with that resolution.

Thank you for the list. We have a tendency to criticize bad actors, but we forget that it’s important to promote the ones going the right direction.

It would be unrealistic to expect a faster growth. The userbase already used windows and the global linux userbase is small. People don’t change habits so easily, and most still don’t see a reason to.
