    With everything going to subscription/cloud these days, I really don’t like giving any company or person money. It’s hard to want to support someone or something with the service preventing me from using it for any reason, or it being changed significantly to where it is not even the same usable product any more. I will never understand how we got here. As someone else put it,
    “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”

    Recently a few weeks ago revitalized my 2011 MacBook Pro with pop_OS. It was elementaryOS at first, but I was already using pop on my gaming laptop in dual boot mode, so I wanted to keep it consistent. The MacBook has the same battery from 2011. It’s a miracle it’s only at ~70% of its life cycle. It actually lasts for about two hours with that atrocious battery life! I’m going to get a replacement battery my next paycheck and revitalize it some more. I love the aluminum unibody and the touchpad and screen are immaculate. Heavy as all hell, but I like it. 😁

    Spaces for all, but no restrictions in who can participate in the conversations. You’re just turning into an echo chamber, and you’re excluding people from partaking in a discussion that they might find important to fight for or to learn from. Trying to join in a conversation on one of those subs on Reddit because I wanted to learn more and got hit with the “you are not a member of the sub, fuck off”. So, I just blocked the entire subreddit as it wasn’t welcoming to people that weren’t the specific exclusive group.

    Thank you so much for including me in fostering an alternative to Reddit! Even if Reddit wasn't going in such a crappy direction, it would still be fun seeing something that is better than Reddit! :)
