I get the opinion - but it isn't always the distro owners... developers can upload their own versions to AUR if they want to. But it is a fair comment that even a keen developer is going to miss at least a few possible package formats.
I’ve recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I’m going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I’m plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification...
Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?
It's pretty par for course for open source projects to have arbitrary names that lack any reasonable explanation.
I guess the equivalent would be working titles, which generally get renamed by marketing teams when it comes time to advertise. But by the time an open source system reaches the stage it could be marketed, it's already well known by that name and isn't worth the effort to rebrand.
One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.
I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how...
Agreed. Good code compiles without warnings (at least that haven't been accounted for). An exception to this might include code that's designed to run on multiple compilers (as they tend to get particularly about different things). But acknowledging a warning is far different to ignoring them.
Gonna be honest here: I’m on vacation right now, so this week’s blog post is going to be a bit lazy. I probably missed some things, so if you were expecting to see your work here and di…

Why is it called Lemmy?

Can Lemmy posts be indexed by Google or other search engines?

Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.
