it’s kinda hard to accept, but we’re all a bit nihilistic about our future…
doesn’t impress have an export slide as png option…? just rotate the slide, make meme, and export… make minor crops in image viewer, and done… right ? i don’t actually know if that’s how it still works, but it used to… i used this back in the day

it’s always kinda funny to me that emacs is a gnu project, and it’s the most over-the-top thing, with games, and music and stuff… given the infamous gnu principle.
it’s reliance farming. their value doesn’t lie in their static standings, it’s the affects their absence might incur. same going for apple, microsoft and very obviously for google. the more we rely on them, the more valuable they are. so, impaling a whole generation of digital natives with idea of cloud-reliance is the only way these companies can “stay relevant”. there are people using google docs and sheets as their go-to, regardless of privacy or reliance concerns. almost everyone on the internet uses youtube, creators fear going fully-independent, 'cause they know users only care about convenience and “free web”…
try out other DEs… gnome has a direction they are going in, and there are other projects that might be what you think is more desktop oriebted design, help them out. i know you’ve probably this all before, but yeah, no point in getting worked up over things we can’t control…
this all youtube thing is kinda depressing as it highlights how much the web is dependent on this platform, there are and will be no “exits” or blackouts, no alternative platforms, and as much as we’d like to think that we “the users” are heard or in control, we aren’t :(
opinion
i know we want this platform to grow, but just an artificial boost as a result of the fall of the competition isn’t… frankly speaking, a sustainable growth… the reddit thing, obviously was good for lemmy and fediverse in general, but these platforms like mastodon [i was on mastodon.technology :( ] and lemmy have been around for years, growing silently, but this slow decline phase was inevitable given the unnatural influx… it’s like when a wave hits a shore and retracts… lemmy will keep growing (given, the communities and instances don’t implode), maybe not as fast as competitions but it will…
