You're probably right, but it definitely seems like the majority of Linux users are still buying Nvidia.

When I last had an Nvidia GPU (secondhand PC), I discovered that the drivers came with altered versions of a lot of the 3D rendering libs. Those drivers are a cancer.
I really wish Linux hardware companies would stop selling Nvidia, and that Linux users would stop buying Nvidia. They don't care about us.
EDIT: Yes I know people with Nvidia switch to Linux with existing hardware. That's not what I'm getting at and I hope those people choose their next GPU wisely.
So... what if a news article links to a toot or Lemmy post? They're most likely to link to the instance that the post was submitted from, and most people aren't going to understand that they have to go search for the post from their home instance if they want to like, vote, reply, or retoot. Email made sense to people because it is basically all direct messaging, but public linking from articles and such is going to be difficult.
I have Mastodon, and I only know one artist on there. The majority of them are still on Twitter even though they hate it.
About 10 years ago, Angelo Sotira ($spyed) fired one of the other co-founders, Spot, and started pitting paying users against non-paying users. Free users had a marker on their profile saying "Needs Premium Membership." The site also marked whether you were a paying or free user everywhere. Sound familiar?
They drew more controversy in 2018 when they hired this marketing firm to come up with a lackluster new logo everybody hated. Because, you know, it's not like they had a bunch of artists using the site or anything.
Unfortunately, it's still where the majority of the art community resides after the enshittification of deviantART. Fortunately, I have other ways of staying in touch with the "best of the best" among my artist friends now, but there are still many holdouts.
Wow, what an update! Thank you! Admittedly, I haven't used Mlem as my main, but this update might change that.
Seriously. Unless they get fined at least a billion, it still made them a profit.
Absolutely. I'm not buying the "fair and square" argument. Firefox won over IE fair and square, by being better in every way, but that didn't last long enough.
Ever try using Google's sites in Firefox or Safari? Most people use Google services and started using Chrome because of Google hounding them to switch. Hell, every major site says to just use Chrome now, and if a real Chrome ever comes out for iPhone, people will just download Chrome because it's what they use on their computer.
Sincerely, a frustrated Firefox and Safari user
Yes, along with wobbly and exploding windows!
