At least here in Europa NA beers have improved wo much in the last few years. I literally don’t know when I last drank one with alcohol when I just felt like drinking a beer (as opposed to when I wanted to drink alcohol).

And since OP likes it fruity, (NA) Radler/Shandy is just great. It’s 50:50 (NA) beer and lemon soda mixed. This was one of the original ways to get a fruity beer with a lower alcohol content (since the soda doesn’t have any) when NA beers weren’t good yet, great for a hot summer day.

So your PC was old (thus the new one faster) and its HW no longer supported by some software developers (because it was outdated and not enough users were on it anymore). The same can hold true if you have a 5 year old PC now. You didn’t notice this due to going 64bit, you noticed it due to going away from a heavily outdated system.

You’re paranoid, mate

The point is that Alphv is an operator of ransomware as a service (RaaS), specifically BlackCat, independent of whether they used ransomware in this specific attack (which it indeed doesn’t sound like).

No. If Reddit would negotiate with them, they’d probably leak small subsets as proof that they have actual data that isn’t available publicly. But with no negotiations, there’s not really any need for that.

On Reddit, you also have r/memes and r/meme (and many other similar ones). I think there are r/woo(oooo)sh subs with between 2-6 os. But in both cases one has vastly more users than the other(s), and most people probably only know about the most popular one.

So yea, over time one of these tech communities on Lemmy will probably be much bigger than the others, and grow faster because it’s the biggest and thus most attractive.

Sure, they could go find new people who do this job for free (and thanks to the API changes virtually tool-less) or hire people to do it for them. Whether those people will be equally successful in nurturing their communities, who knows.

But it’s definitely an option and probably only a matter of time before it happens.
