That isn't true. Outside of teens in tech or nerdy places, most won't switch to the next hyped thing. I have been trying to get people on session and pleroma but most of them don't care.
An AMD Ryzen 7 2700x has faster single core performance than yours, maybe 5% more. Anything faster/more recent is even more. It's multicore advantage will be much more.
2700x user here. I didn't realize how low end it's considered! I game and do all the coding things and never really wait long for games to load or code to compile...
It's not low-end, it is middle of the pack, given it's age, and for the price it's still a good buy for things like compiling and encoding, let alone any grand strategy/4x style of game that relies heavily on CPU multi-threading speeds.
Everyone has different requirements. Depending on your resolution and required frame rate you might have get a more powerful video card that becomes bottlenecked by your cpu.
See I can't imagine running on a 1050ti but I only need 32gb of ram. I can't drive my monitor (5120x1440) with that video card at any reasonable rates. Everyone has different requirements.
I do, and the kind of stuff that I see greyed out at the bottom is usually something I see floating around the middle of the page in other popular communities.
None of the app stores are fair. Apple charges amazon 2x less for any subscriptions done through the app store. They all reject many indie apps for protecting privacy or security but then all the big apps are allowed to do it. Their apps can access system APIs that are off limit to others.
Some people in the comment section only recently feeling the censorship done by china affecting them but imagine other non-US countries that get censored by American companies all the time.
If there are no us, there is no one who cares about our existence. There is no sense of losing something if something doesn't exist.
