Connect is the primary reason I find myself stuck to KDE
Don’t get me wrong Gnome is great after a few tweaks, but it’s not KDE Connect great. Sharing files phone-pc, sms (buggy, but still handy) - love it.

Don’t know ya but hope you’re alright :¬¶

It was likely the build up of a few years’ packages, updates, and so on, but it eventually came to a head and I had to wipe and load. Maybe it’s better now, but I think I started that install around Fedora 34? So not too long ago

I had fedora installed the last few years, and was digging flatpak… until I wasn’t. One day I ran out of disk space - 230 Gb of flatpak dependencies. I run a pretty slim system, so what the actual heck? Did some research, learned how to flush cached and redundant packages, shrunk my flatpak deps to… 150 Gb

I’ve since been trying Endeavor

Played on the GBA many years ago. Weirdly I have not been able to appreciate a jrpg before or since, for whatever that means. Great style, great music, I recall a fun story but maybe that’s just the rose glasses. If you have a hankering to try it is say go for it.

For me amongst the small handful of reddit alts I oh so briefly tried, kbin didn’t necessarily feel the most friendly, but it did feel the most authentic sans toxic. Beehaw felt reverse toxic - it felt like an echo chamber, sanitized clean, proudly marketed. That gives me the jeebies.

Lemmy is too fragmentary and meme-heavy atm, requires too much from me. I fear that despite all it sells itself to be the contrary, Lemmy will eventually centralize. The market demands it. The incentives all point toward it. One instance to rule them all. Is that terrible? No. But it feels too familiar, and the narrative that Lemmy is beyond that somehow doesn’t sit well with me.

Kbin doesn’t feel like it’s pretending to be a force of misguided decentralization. Again, not a bad goal, just wishful thinking without safeguards. People here argue and debate with some semblance of what feels like common respect. If I’m gonna find a social aggregate home, this one feels most authentically homey.

In brief, I guess it’s kbin’s “we just kinda is” ism that drew and is so far keeping me here so far.
