AsI understand it someone is paying for me to use this so should I try to limit my time here to keep their costs down? Should I avoid leaving it open casually? Is there a way to support instances that I enjoy?

Yeah, I asked it to write some stuffs and it did it incorrectly, then I told it what it wrote was incorrect and it said I was right and rewrote the same damn thing.
Gardening has been fun. Listening to the birds in my garden, hiking, taking walks.
I’m trying to focus on the journey of life more as I used to be a weekend warrior. But so much life happens between the weekends and focusing more on that had been helping me mentally.
As for finding meaning, I can’t answer that. I am in my 40s and have never found meaning. But there are things I enjoy, so I try to focus on the thing I find joy in.
I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That’s not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don’t seem to fit that.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...
The average person wants the iphone experience. They want the device to just work. Sometimes, in Linux, you have to install things that aren’t so straight forward and the average person has no clue how to do that.
If we want more people on Linux, we need to dumb it down a lot.
I initially only installed “Comodo Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”, which I did not consent to.

I mostly moved to Lemmy. I still browse reddit, but I stay logged out and no longer contribute and my old account was on the top 1% for comment karma. I’ll bring that energy to lemmy.
They basically trimmed the fat. Those who they weren’t monetizing are no longer using as many resources for free. They force people to use their system so they can show them ads.
True. And while the comment section still gets several thousand participating, it’ll keep people’s attention.
One thing I miss is reading a comment section for over sn hour because it was almost endless entertainment. Hopefully Lemmy can provide some of that golden content.
