76% of the top 1000 games on Steam run on Linux. https://www.protondb.com/

Travis SkaalgardtoSocialism@lemmy.ml•hello! how's this place different from hexbear.net?
6•18h

Lemmy is a federated and FOSS link aggregator and discussion platform. Hexbear is just a singular forum. Think of Lemmy as the Fediverse’s answer to corporate platforms like Reddit.

Yes of course but the corporate platform to which it is most comparable is Reddit

This seems to be the unpopular opinion, but I actually think it’s important that we frame it as ditching corporate spaces, and I think this will get the most users on board with everything (not even just Lemmy, the whole Fediverse as well.)

There are ways to make posts on Gemini - there was recently a social network project posted here that allows users to make posts.

Gemini Link Aggregator? (Hypothetical)

I was wondering today - would it hypothetically be possible to create a Lemmy/Reddit-style link aggregator completely in Geminispace? It seems like it would be an interesting project!..

Don’t you just love intrusive thoughts? I recently read something about how these may be an evolutionary response to dangerous situations so you know what to avoid. I prefer to think of them like that.

Hate to break it to you, lady, but that’s capitalism in action. They’ve figured out it’s cheaper to squeeze value from one employee at a time, then hire someone new when they’re done with them.

It might be illegal, even in the US, but in the US anything is legal if your victims are too poor to sue.

I had COVID, called in to work, and my bosses still wanted me to come in, despite my positive test. They settled for making me work from home while miserably sick :)

Travis Skaalgardtoasklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does Lemmy look so wholesome even without the garbage stuff and gild award tokens? Why is there a lack of (retro and pre 2010) gaming discussions?

Maybe no need for you, and you don’t have to participate. More discussion here isn’t a bad thing.

Feel free to create communities you want to see. Some of them may stick, some of them may not, but this site is built of user contributions. I would definitely join pre-2010 gaming and retrogaming communities!

How to cope with lack of IRL friends/acquaintances on the Fediverse?

So, I completely switched to FOSS federated social networks toward the middle of 2020. I love the Fediverse, but nobody I know IRL seems to care at all about it in any capacity, so I’m basically just screaming into a void full of other FOSSheads. How do I reconcile this? How do we get our IRL peeps …

Best Places to Meet New People Online?

Hello everyone. So this year has me feeling very isolated and I’m thinking about how easy it used to be to meet people online and how difficult it’s become to do so. There used to be tons of good places to meet people but internet culture has changed so much that now it’s virtually impossible. Even …

My previous PeerTube instance is down. Which one should I join?

As the title states, the PeerTube instance I had previously been using is down with no warning. I didn’t like it that much anyway. I’m looking for a good instance with anti-nazi moderation that has local content but also federates with many other instances. I’ve been thinking about framatube but is…

Is there a way to block Roku adds and tracking with my router?
