Pretty much the title. If you are, why do you remain on a platform that has become such a dumpster-fire of mis- and dis-information?

Where is the "A QAnon Production" credit?

Musk is a pedo. Or at least a pedo enabler.

There are more than cultural differences. WeChat is a surveillance app for the masses by the State. This is not an exaggeration.

I have used many Linux distros, Old-school RedHat (floppy days) Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, etc. I used to like messing around with the kernel and configs, etc. Now I just want something that works so that I can get to work. I installed Pop_OS on an old Microsoft Surface about 3 weeks ago and I have been very impressed. It was simple to install, has a pleasing interface design, and no bloat software. I'm going to keep using it for my desktop and highly recommend it.

Now I'm laughing.

I'm on discord but not for the sociability so much. However, there are some hyper specific subjects that get served up there. Personally, I find it very chaotic.

I don't think he called bullshit as much as he thought it has potential but not ready yet. Lol! I love the fediverse. Let everyone else find the next best thing that will, once again, get ruined.

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

My thoughts exactly!

My org is also looking to right-size and find a much smaller HQ.

Wow! That first part sounds awful! I think I would explore other options even if working from home.

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

LOL! Nevermind. I figured it out. Instead of "Add new article" it is "Add new link" under the '+' sign.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but it pretty much says it all in the title. I've read a few guides but they don't seem to answer my questions about posting. I quit Facebook and Twitter over 10 years ago and this is my first social media account since then.

I have had great luck removing labels by filling bottles / jars with boiling water and letting them sit a few minutes. I mostly do this to save wine labels I like or want to remember. When doing this it is also very easy to wipe off any residue.
