A lot of the internet has been lost to time already so I actually appreciate this place having this kind of permanence.

I don’t know. Perhaps it was at first, but I’ve been hearing Cameron talking about Avatar 5 for a long time.

Yes, it exists and it’s getting a sequel in December. You’ll have to wait until 2029 for Avatar 4 though.

Get a room!

Came here to say the same. Solid black is the best wallpaper.

It’s a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.

As far as I’m aware, the big “problem” with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It’s an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it’s already enough to push regular people away. It’s kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you’ve already lost them.

Found Phil Spencer’s account

Or Breath of the Wild. It was a launch title for the Switch but also had a version for the Wii U.

Ooh boy, do I have some good news for you!

I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.

Smartphones are so big nowadays I’d be down to using a flip phone instead, if only they weren’t still so damn expensive. I like that form factor and the foldable screen technology seems pretty mature by now. Also, closing the phone to end a call will never not be cool.

The Lemmy devs have no power over instances they do not run themselves.

It seems to me they’re saying Lemmy needs corporate backing to grow? Cause if they were so bothered by the opinions of the Lemmy devs they could simply use Kbin instead.

You mean this one?

What do you mean it isn’t popular? I was under the impression that KDE was roughly as used as GNOME, maybe a little less since it’s not the default in as many distros. As for why current GNOME is popular, my guess it’s mostly momentum (since GNOME was already popular) but it being a very clean and polished desktop probably helps as well.

It’s not like Reddit has over 1000x more users than Lemmy or anything
