  • Simracing. We don’t relate to typical gaming at all. It’s all high end hardware, all very specialized and typically doesn’t interest normal gamers.

    Subreddit mods are very against Lemmy or anything that moves them off the platform. The absolute butthurt rage for weeks after the protests proved that one right.

    Mostly I just don’t see this platform as an alternative for medium sized communities. It works for large ones where there’s enough people that after a move if 25% transfer then you still have a lively community. Or for small communities where you can get 70%+ to move. But those mid size, 100k users on average communities trying to get them to move just ends up with a ghost town here.



  • Going to be honest here

    Windows is good for general professional use. Linux is absolutely terrible. MacOS is also decent.

    Professionals use windows because everyone knows how it functions, it has robust and supported user management and Microsoft provides significant enterprise support to companies using their operating system.

    Linux only has some of those features, they’re often half-assed or unsupported, and there’s no central authority for help.

    It’s fine for personal machines, but I absolutely disagree that the only thing windows has going for it is popularity.


  • Darktable is fine as a hobbyist, but it doesn’t fully replace Lightroom when you get into semi-professional and professional workloads.

    I need to give it another try, but my 12TB raw file library is so unwieldy to manage that I haven’t tried importing it all there. Plus the AI generative removal and Denoising is pretty important to a lot of my workflows.





  • Different people enjoy cars different ways. For many it’s just a tool to get from point A to point B. These are the majority, and tend to be a crowd who is now trending towards EVs and Self Driving Vehicles.

    For others, driving is about the experience of how the car meets the road and is much less about the destination. I just planned a 10 hour drive with a group of my car friends with no destination, we’re just doing it to get out on some fun roads with our cars. These type of people love our manual transmissions, ICE cars and the experience of driving and see the car as less of a tool and more of a hobby and something to bring groups together.
