This community is actually pretty active!

Thanks!

I was reading about this solution. My main laptop is a MacBook Air with M2 so I don’t think I can run any version of Linux on it. I have an old windows laptop I’m thinking about trying it on.

Would Linux still run fine on an older laptop?

Thanks! I’m already in !selfhosted@lemmy.world :) great place!

Will do! Do you have any specific communities you recommend for asking for help in Linux / self hosting type stuff? :)

So cool! So you basically kept windows in one part of your machine and ran pop os on the rest? Really cool idea!

Ooo I didn’t know about this I shall look into it.

Could you do it on Windows?

That’s so cool!!

I’m hoping to set one up later this year. I have an old laptop that has good enough specs to run it from my research - I just need to get everything off of it and swamp windows for Linux! Never did a Linux install so I’m excited.

Exactly. I’m really interested in running Linux but it would be more of something interesting to try when I have time rather than an actual OS change.

The biggest issue for me is I’m a photographer and I depend on Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. I know there are open source alternatives, but from what I’ve seen they are far behind adobe.

Woowoo! Cloud has its place and I love it but it’s not for literally everything

Good point!

But isn’t the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.

Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha

Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.

Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).

And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.

But I’m of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I’ll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.

Yeah for real I feel like if I log back into LinkedIn and update my profile I start suddenly getting more spam lol

As far as networking you’ve got the right idea, there’s no reason to rely solely on designated networking sites for it.

Start with literally anyone you know (close friends and family) and go from there :)

Technically you can use anything for job networking, it’s not necessary for it to be"designed" for networking.

A Lemmy instance about your industry/niche could be a good place to meet people in your industry, and even hire ppl or search for ppl hiring.

Thanks for showing me this I didn’t know fossify existed

I figured it out thanks! For some reason I had to restart my phone and it finally worked.

At first it wouldn’t update to fossify when I tried, so everytime it would only give me the everytime/just this once toggle for Google photos.

Actually perfect no fancy add ons just pics!

I’m having an issue when viewing videos with it though - for some reason it won’t let me set fossify gallery as the default video viewer so everytime I have to click it after clicking on a video. Do you know how to set the default video app to fossify?

Do you use a gallery app you like? I’m kind of sick of Google photos. I always have to “save a copy” when editing and it also separates my photos in a dumb way.

I’d like something simple that isn’t trying to sell me something (storage)
