Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I feel similarly about mean replies online, which is why I usually try not to contribute to that trend. If nothing else, I at least try not to escalate arguments.

Regarding programming languages' efficiency, it's a pretty interesting topic to consider in this time of climate change. There can be trade-offs like for example in the case of Python vs. Rust, while you gain a lot in terms of performance and resource utilization with Rust, you lose a lot in terms of development speed, from what I understand (I have not programmed with Rust yet, nor any large projects with Python). I hope that more programmers begin to consider these factors when picking a language to develop with.

Take care.

Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio in c/[email protected]

I didn't know about these radio broadcasts, but I did use to buy (pirated) games on cassette tape to load on my (unlicensed) ZX spectrum clone using my mini-boombox. Good times. :)

Thanks, I'm still considering my options. Mint is in the list of possibilities.

I didn't look at the details of those three communities before posting them. I was just pointing out what I had found on a search. I don't mind lemmy.ml. and prefer it over lemmy.world, but I can understand that some people don't like .ml. I'm glad that you and others are creating alternatives to .world communities anyway.

I figure that Mbin is not too bad, since PHP seems to be quite a bit faster than Python too.

Thanks. I'm a semi-newbie, thinking about going with Debian, but just about to test it on a VM right now.

There is also:

I'm not too keen on Piefed because it's written in Python, which is multiple times less than Rust (what Lemmy is written in) for a server back-end application. It just seems like a waste of electricity or adding more carbon to the atmosphere than it should, for a widely-used server application.
