Thanks for the explanation, I didn’t know that worked like that.

It should work, but expect some problems like frame skipping at least if you’re on Nvidia.

What it does?

Everyone says “do it with your compositor” but I don’t think anyone who says that has ever really tried the convenience of split view.

My biggest problem with simply opening two Firefox tabs is that my tabs split, and sure, I can just drag them around, but for me (TWM user) I prefer to be able to do everything from the keyboard, and moving tabs between windows is not something that can be done do with key shortcuts

I didn’t know about that and sounds very good, thanks.

At least it’s not a limitation for paying users but it still sucks, thanks for the info.

And what’s your experience? Anything that you want to highlight?

I mean, yeah, but first I need to learn to self-host.

Does the background upload works for you?

I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I’ve been doing great.

I’ve looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).

Right now, I’m running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.

On the other hand, I’ve tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.

I’m not a bot, I just find funny this.

Dumb question, how do I know if I can upload videos without registering each instance and what size limit do they allow?

Without mentioning that most of the time (and probably depending where you live) you won’t find your banking app in there, nor in the Aurora Store usually.

I live in a Central American country where I simply can’t find my banking app in Aurora Store or in APKMirror (or any of those sites), and when I search the app name in Google Play it’s there, so I guess it has some kind of logic since the app uses anonymous Google accounts that are probably located in a country where it makes no sense that my banking app is there, I mean, why should my Central American banking app be shown in US for example?

I suppose in the case where I’m using Google Play with a Google account, the most likely thing is that I’ll be able to update without a problem because my account is in the country where the app is located, just that it’s using the servers in the country where I live.

In the case of the Aurora store of APKMirror, well, I’m fucked, I guess the only think that I can do is use the website of my bank, that I suppose this will be the case in many banks, the interface and the overall experience is worse than that of the app.

To be honest, is just a shit that many, not to say all banking apps depend specifically on Google to work, it would not be a surprise to me that if I try to install my banking app extracting the APK for myself and then installing it on a deGoogled phone, the app will tell me that it requires Google to work or something like that.

At what point did I say that I was upset with the decisions made by other instances? I openly said that I respect and agree with the decisions made by the administrators of the instances.

Personally I don’t use /all much, I just see the posts of the communities to which I am subscribed and that’s all, and I think that’s a good point that I hadn’t taken into account and thanks for pointing it out, but that’s why it especially affects me not to have access to those communities in lemmy.ml, because they have a huge flow of posts that I lose by not being able to access those communities.

I hate politics as well as many people, and just like them, I am constantly exposed to them on Lemmy and especially via /all, I can just block those communities, can’t I? Or I can simply not even look for them in the first place because I don’t like them and not hate the people who do enjoy them.

I like Yiffit in particular because besides the fact that I’m not just there for the NSFW content, just as there are those who like to constantly check /All, I like to check /Local to see all the posts in the instance without having to manually subscribe to each existing community on Yiffit because I use /Subscribed exclusively to see the communities that I like, so /Local is like a kind of filter for me because I’m not an excessive consumer of NSFW either, there are simply certain artists who create great art and Yiffit is a great place to find artists you didn’t know, or see art in general whether SFW or NSFW, not just “watch porn”.

I used to use up to 4 accounts at the same time with different feeds so as not to put all my eggs in the same basket but I got to a point where I honestly got sick of it, I really just want when I have free time to scroll through my feed and that’s it.

Its really also a good option as you said to maintain this account and subscribe to the Yiffit communities that I like because I have the best of both worlds, or as another user had already recommended to me, I could also perfectly have another exclusive account for Yiffit, but that’s what I’ve been doing for months and I honestly feel tired of having different feeds, but they are completely valid options that I should consider again.
