To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn't have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should've read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the "This app may harm your PC" threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

I think it's mostly a power trip like you said, or just a straight up passion project for those who want to have a community around their niche. As for the larger mainstream subs, yeah they're just doing unpaid labor.
I'm just interested in seeing what sorts of games someone will develop for this. I imagine it'd be great.
Ok here's my desktop, might add laptop later.
Well, it is a pretty great distro, so I'm glad to see it catching on.
I'm definitely sticking with Lemmy. While I do feel there's a number of communities missing and those that do exist don't have nearly as much content, I know that this will improve over time as more people switch over. It's also a little rough around the edges on the software side (having to refresh my page several times for it to load properly), but this will be sorted out as well.
Kinda. I may have set up a Mac OS VM on my computer and downloaded Final Cut and Logic Pro just to say "Ha! Fuck you Apple!". I have no GPU passed through. I don't know why I did this.
The lack of Holy C in this meme makes me incredibly disappointed.
I assume it's for the sake of more freedom. Without admins to make troubling choices like in the case of reddit, lemmy can't be corrupt so easily. I'm quite new to this as well, but from what I've seen, the most lemmy can do is unlink certain instances so they don't show up in your search, but instances may live or die, but the social network as a whole lives on (except if the killed instance housed your account).
I'm interested in hearing a source for this. Not saying I think you're lying, it's just still what I see a lot of devs are into. A lot our software engineering courses are tailored specifically to making cool android website frontends.
It's not difficult to see why they're developed though, while mobile sites are definitely feasible, browsing the web on mobile can be a cumbersome experience because we are trying to shove many features onto a device with no external input devices and a small screen real-estate. In a dedicated app we have a more granular control over UI that would be difficult to pull off in a browser. Also, apps do actually require less bandwidth for only requesting JSON.
