Yes you can

Look at you. You are the cloud now.

I use my computer for simple tasks and can power through double that pretty easily. My family is full of Mac sheep who are constantly coming to me to make their computers faster and I have to tell them I can’t help because their machine was deliberately kneecapped by the OEM and there’s no way to fix it. Fortunately one of them just upgraded to the new Air w/ 16GB and they remark how much faster it is. Obviously it’s faster in lots of other ways, but none of those would do anything if they were still capped at 8GB.

A handful of apps and a few browser tabs will do it. I can go through twice that fairly frequently.

They said websites, not website

Again, no.

Not “probably”. They were. For the last decade, up until like last year. And they were awful, and a ripoff. At least they’re not trying to charge $1k+ for this one.

in the Linux world, 8GB is fine

Yeahhhhh no

All depends on what type of games you play. I never use them.

Lemmy and PieFed are not analogous to BlueSky. That would be more Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, etc. So, in just about every other case, yes.

Well what’s the answer? Is he garbage?

But Gary Vee told me NFTs would make me rich!

Mastodon’s problems are not intrinsic…

AP accounts are also portable…

but doing so risks just sending users to a pseudo-fork like blacksky.

I think if there’s anything we’ve learned at this point, it’s that it’s extremely hard to get users to leave a platform they have connections on. That’s always the plan.

Why wait? Why continue contributing value and investing in the platform? The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

They used COVID as a kind of red herring.

Why would they need a red herring?

LOL would advise you to get your head out of the sand and open your eyes to what’s happening around you.

That’s just not true. Music is often uploaded as a background component for a video.

And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Open any link and the link you clicked is hijacked back to a BSky domain.
