Yeah, I don’t see what the big deal is. I won’t be switching from Windows anytime soon, for various reasons, but I very much appreciate being able to have access to a local linux environment without having to dual boot.

I find that brave still has the same problem as google a lot of the times though. If I search for info about something in Zelda for instance I get the same useless IGN and Gamrant articles rather than a wiki page or actually useful information.

I have yet to find a search engine that doesn’t have this problem.

I remain sceptical about the fediverse for a number of reasons. Some may turn out to not be a big deal, I don’t know yet.

I worry about discoverability and search engine indexing, the main usefulness of Reddit for me was the ability to find answers to questions already asked by others.

I worry about the potential for federated servers to turn into small insulated islands, due drama between admins.

I worry that I’ll need to keep track of a multitude of accounts and websites on a fractured internet, what with lemmy and kbin and whatever other services show up.

Centralization has its issues, but it also comes with a great many benefits, and I’ll wait and see if the fediverse can make up the difference.
