thesanewriter,

I definitely am. I may have more comments and posts here than on Reddit already and I have only been here a fraction of the time.

thesanewriter,

I don’t use SteamOS, but there work for Linux gaming is undeniable. Proton does an excellent job running the majority of games, and the Steam Linux client runs very well.

thesanewriter,

Partly because of discrimination, partly because she lacks charisma. There are a substantial number of people that dislike her because she’s a black woman and they have biases against both, sometimes without even knowing it. There are also some people on the left that dislike her because she’s a moderate liberal that used to be a prosecutor. Honestly she’s about standard as vice presidents come, so though I’m farther to the left than her I don’t have any strong feelings on her.

thesanewriter,

If the options are one liberal party and one fascist party, or just one liberal party, I would pick the one-party state every time. Anyhow, the Democrats are such an umbrella party that if they were the only party they would almost certainly break into two or more smaller parties, all of which would be far more tolerable than the Republican party.

thesanewriter,

Yeah, Fox News sometimes tells the truth and kinda advocates for Democracy in a half-hearted kind of way. That’s too liberal now for some Republicans, who believe that Democracy is cringe as a concept and want to get rid of the people they blame for our nations problems (right now trans people and Jews). They have moved to OAN and NewsMax.

thesanewriter,

Yes, but one is telling the truth and the other is lying. The Democrats are in favor of neoliberalism, and their policies are all essentially either procorporate or lukewarm social benefits. The Republicans are currently pushing for issues like destroying “woke ideology” by outlawing queer people and defunding the IRS. They’re not comparable.

thesanewriter,

Same here! The recent updates made it far more usable, and it has nice swiping features that I’m really enjoying.

thesanewriter,

As my main I’m currently running EndeavorOS. I’d say it’s pretty good. It does all of the legwork of installing Arch, but comes with minimal bloat and really lets you make it your own.

thesanewriter,

This is good to hear, the more green energy sources America invests in the better. Nuclear fission energy may not be the future of all energy production, but it’s far better than coal.

thesanewriter,

Greg is determined, and is willing to see his vision through. Maybe you should respect Greg?

thesanewriter,

Our first obscure piece of Lemmy lore. May there be many more into our future.

thesanewriter,

This is a really good idea, hopefully it will pull more people to our communities.

thesanewriter,

I figured I'll write up a tldr on Embrace, Extend, Extinguish in case you aren't really feeling reading the articles.

Embrace: Meta builds a federated Twitter/Reddit alternative, potentially called Threads but is right now P92, that follows the ActivityPub standard almost perfectly. Various Lemmy and KBin instances federate with them and share information. Users from Facebook and Instagram flood into P92, making it one of the largest instances.

Extend: P92 starts adding nice, but proprietary features to their system. The allure of these features begins drawing users off of other instances to P92. Those instances are upset, but Meta insists it's doing nothing wrong, continues to follow the ActivityPub standard in some form, and tells the other instances to just implement the features themselves.

Extinguish: Meta announces that due to incompatibility, they are withdrawing from the standard and defederating from everyone. Most users of this software are now on P92, and thus don't mind. Meta gets a fully populated Twitter/Reddit alternative, and the remaining ActivityPub instances wither. Without user support, the standard fails, and a new open source alternative is created to replace it.

That strategy has been used to kill other open source protocols, and many people are worried it will happen again. My personal opinion is that servers should only federate with Meta if they follow the standard perfectly, and if they deviate even a little bit they should be universally defederated via software changes, but I'm sympathetic to the people that would rather be proactive than reactive.

thesanewriter,

Great to hear! All of the new apps will enrich the ecosystem and bring more federated content to everyone.

thesanewriter,

I like both of them, it's difficult for me to pick a clear favorite here.

thesanewriter,

Thank you for your contributions to this community, it's a shame it got to be such a big stressor in your life. Take your time and relax for a bit, your mental health is important

thesanewriter,

This is an example of internet speed meaning two very different things

thesanewriter,

Lemmy. Who uses that platform? Nobody, that's who.

thesanewriter,

That's the great thing about cultured cells, no prions.

thesanewriter,

They shoot themselves more in the foot each passing day.

thesanewriter,

There is the Artemis app that's coming soon, which will be Apollo inspired. The only app I know of that's being directly ported instead of remade is Sync.

thesanewriter,

So, so stupid. Literally making the wrong decision at every point, it's honestly astounding that these people can be so dumb.

thesanewriter,

Blocking only blocks communities for you, not for anyone else. Subscribing only pulls posts for everyone because your subscription forces the servers to federate, but that happens whenever users from the instances interact.

thesanewriter, (edited )

Yes, you can have links that work like that. They follow this structure: /c/worldnews@lemmy.world. A generalized link like that will work on any instance that has loaded that community before.

Edit: I fixed my link.
