@zleap i'd say being against is unpopular. even if it's not generalized. it depends on the group of course ;)
*taps the sign*
Choosing to host a community on a "free" proprietary platform offered by a for-profit is choosing short term ease and long term pain, and often comes at the expense of privacy. These tools _will_ get shitty and extractive. And what then?
Community migrations are painful and lossy.
We must select tools for our community while considering a time horizon longer than the economic boom/bust cycle.
@zleap i think i looked on joinmastodon back when i joined, but i think now these directories are pretty biased to what i'd call something like "limited speech" instances.
they remove instances like fosstodon and qoto because there are people on there holding unpopular opinions about gendering speech or vaccines or guns or any other "controversial" topic.
on the other hand i don't think i'd be hard pressed to find approval of things like trump getting shot at from the instances currently listed in these directories.
it's a glaring double standard.
@zleap it's fine, just wanted to drop you a note :)

@zleap don't want to ruin the party, they delisted qoto a while back, amongst others.
things are very tiresome.
@meinemeinung see, i said there will be no consequences :)
eu really is eussr now. even has the fake votes! ![]()
@MK2boogaloo with on board graphics as well?
@MK2boogaloo you might need to switch the video output to the gpu, at least for during boot. do you have on board gpu? if yes, you might connect to that, boot and then look around if the new card is detected?
@MK2boogaloo maybe you need to switch something around in the bios

that's more or less natural law instead of the positive law implemented everywhere.

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen.", "oh ein putinscher dampfplauderer *plonk*"
