Don't they have that thing where you can turn your account into a self hosted website? Maybe decentralized wasn't the best word, I mean users don't have to rely on the website staying up / moderators not going mad or stuff like that.

Gratitude for open social media alternatives. (lemm.ee)
 

A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

Not enough people are talking about what lemmy and bluesky have done, I'm not that tech savvy but from what I've understand their decentralized nature makes people always in control as opposed to one company.

Going on these sites brings me back to the earlier days of the internet, where it felt like interacting with real people, posting to an actual community, rather than being in one of those dystopian movies with slurm drinks and infinite amount of trash being pumped out by bots, to get as many views for monetization/outreach which is what pretty much all major social medias feel today.

I thought of getting a laptop from tuxedocomputers, the original reason I got a mac was I was fed up with windows, my last laptop was toast, and needed something asap, that i didn't need a time investment to use since uni courses were starting soon. Learning there's a company that makes fair priced, built for linux machines with their own distro, that now seems like the perfect device for me.

The one good thing about macs is they don't loose that much value, so I can resell it and buy something other than a mac

Never regretted a purchase more than my macbook after visiting their subreddits.
