I agree, but the question wasn’t about the percentage of cases, but about the possible reason to choice Ubuntu over Debian…

Yeah.

Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑

No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.

Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.

But it’s radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.

Hard to tell.

Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these…

Support & community come to mind.

To a typical user/newcomer to servers it’s easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves… 😑

Yeah. It’s good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.

I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

Get a life, eejits.

I see nothing on the video, so can’t comment on that, but could you test the switch by connecting a router to the 1st port and a notebook to every other port one by one, to check whether the devices talk to each other?

I assume that the router acts as DHCP server, and the notebook is set to DHCP address lease, so no additional configuration is needed…

Aye.

This is both a blessing and a curse. Already there are some… less welcome, Reddit behaviors visible here. I’d rather people leave their old baggage at the doorstep, heh. 😬

But that’s the point I’m making here. Facebook didn’t fall and Reddit won’t either. It’s going to evolve, cater to different clientele, offer different content/experience. But it won’t fall.

Amen to that.

I don’t imagine staying on some site that resembles a drowning wreck, because “I got used to how things work here”.

I don’t think Reddit will fall, sadly.

It harbors too many people, who go there for a specific content and don’t care about the internal dramas, or who leads the place and what he thinks about the userbase. In addition… Eh, it hosted Obama, Arnold, plenty of actors, celebrities.

My assumption is that it will simply evolve into something different, but no less popular.

After all, Facebook was caught redhanded on such abominable practices that it should be burnt to a crisp long time ago, and yet it’s still there, led by that automaton, what’shisname…

I doubt it - too many people with different preferences they aren’t willing to let go, I’m afraid.

If you’re asking me, it’s “good enough” the way it is. I’d gladly have some more content filters, but even without them I perceive it as a platform with enough potential to consider it good.

Well, to keep a user is way harder than to attract his attention.

I think that the key differences between this platform(s) and the more known alternatives are part of the problem - people are very dumb these days and lazy. Often the first reaction to something new and not working in the expected way is to skip it, or demand the solution, rather than look around, try different approach and such.

I feel like I’m witnessing Diaspora 2.0 effect…

It is - accessing a social site via desktop or app has been as old, as Facebook.

…but feel free to claim that the rock you’ve been hiding under for the last 10 or 20 years isn’t real… 😎

🤔

It’s common knowledge.
