Wouldn’t surprise me. Lemmy.ml was always garbage and I blocked almost every community there because most of their posts are about capitalism or landlords.
One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising.
Seriously just let GIMP finally die. At this point the whole branding has become a running joke with anyone who works in graphic design. Better start a new project that hasn’t that much negative baggage.
No sadly not. Krita is great for digital artists but otherwise not a good gimp replacement. I personally still have my Affinity Photo 2 copy that I bought on Windows and use it in a VM. But I have the feeling that even huge parts of the Linux community have given up on GIMP. A lot of people that I talked too rather use Photopea instead. That’s why I think investing in GIMP is pointless. It has been seen as a joke for almost two decades, that the branding will never undo the negative connection. That’s why I think people should start a new project and if they have a clear vision and appear competent, rise a crowdfunding campaign in the FOSS movement.
Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...
Tech bros and absolutely zero social competence. Name one more iconic duo.
In one particular incident, the moderators of the Discord server engaged in a harassment campaign against a transgender user, including using their moderator privileges to edit the pronouns in their username from “they/she” to “who/cares”.
What a shithole and the lead dev seems to be a fucking idiot.
Like I said, the problem isn’t that they are against CoC. The problem is how they reacted to the post. Alone the last “Nice on” as an reaction to your typical idiotic “BuT WhAT If I WaNT tO Be A ToXIC CoMmUniTy” rebuttal, tells me enough about their mental maturity. So yes from that and the other responses, I call the dev an Idiot.
Search for “Plasma Drawer” in the Plasma Extension section of Discovery (the default KDE app store). It’s a beautiful fullscreen launcher. After installing it you simply right click on the launcher button (It either has the Distro or KDE Logo), select “show alternatives” and select Plasma Drawer (or whatever other launcher you want to use).
It’s a huge circlejerk here and there isn’t that much engagement in other smaller communities. And I highly doubt that it will change for the better since I already see that a lot of the remaining people love this little circlejerk and don’t even want more people that could diversify the content. More power to them, I have already given up on Lemmy as a Reddit replacement.
The main problem is the lack of professional software support (+ the clusterfuck of repositories and different packet formats) and that simply nobody of the big backers wants to push for the desktop market. Canoncial gave up on it when they killed their convergence idea and the others never tried in the first place.
At least the first problem could be solved by Flatpak and the Flathub store. It’s fucking annoying when the software has Linux support but Software A only others rpm packages while software B only has deb file for Ubuntu. At least I have now Distrobox for this shit, but I really hope Flatpak will solve this shit.
So Democracy is basically fucked and countries without freedom of expression/speech have a advantage while our social media will be a cesspool and will divide and weaken our societies. The future looks bright /s
Hate is a strong word. People are just fucking annoyed by them since they constantly act like a 4Chan Troll brigades to trigger the “Liberals” and make everything political. They swarmed every instance that was federated with them and pushed hard their “Murcia/the West/Ukraine = bad and China/Russia = good” agenda and attacked people with different opinions.
