It’s quite ironic that for a lot of people “destroying twitter” means spending half a day there, finding rage-inducing tweets and sharing them on other social media sites just so they can enjoy the free traffic and engagement. It would be nice if we could, you know, ignore it and let it die.

I never understood how people would complain that a site with thousands or tens of thousands of users is “too small”. I feel like that is a real sweet spot, you can have actual conversations and interactions that matter a bit more. Meanwhile, the constant flood of posts, comments and spam on the top social media sites made me feel like nothing I write will even matter, since all the posts will be buried under the information flood in the matter of minutes.

Of course, I was comparing it to other “standalone” window managers, not the ones used by GNOME/KDE, since the userbase will be obviously much higher for the desktop environments.

I’m amazed by the amount of work being done by Hyprland devs. I remember how they were just starting not that long ago, and now it’s (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.

If you actually dig deeper into the Linux security topic, you’d find out that Linux is actually not very secure. GrapheneOS developers made quite a lot of posts on what Linux distros (and the kernel) are missing in terms of security. A lot of “Linux security and the lack of viruses” rides on the waves of “there is hardly any point of creating malware for a system with such a small user base, plus you have to consider the fact that people knowledgeable enough just to install a Linux distro would be a bit more careful about their computers than the average Joe”.

Looks pretty great, though I’d never buy it due to the lack of software support. I wish that developers making these phones would just allow easy bootloader unlock and give the device trees needed for custom roms. The community would do the rest, just like Xiaomi phones in the old days.

Wait until the guy hears that nazis drank water and were also… breathing?

Ragebaiters and trolls? On MY internet? No way!

rolling, stable

Huh?

My friend just got a new Xiaomi phone. He tried unlocking it a few days ago and got “try again in 168 hours”. That happened in Europe. It’s an absolute mess nowadays, I remember when they started blocking you from unlocking the bootloader. First you had to wait 24 hours, then 3 days, now it’s an entire week. You also need to make sure you’re logged into your Mi Account on both phone and PC and do even more weird fuckery to ensure the process actually go through. Meanwhile, on GOOGLE Pixel devices you just type one command after you enable oem unlocking in settings and reboot into fastboot mode. Crazy.

Yeah. As much as I love GrapheneOS and all the security work, sometimes I feel like their “ideal” setup is to just install GrapheneOS on the latest Pixel phone and use only the 5 or so built in apps, as everything else is insecure, brings additional code baggage and can introduce flaws. I don’t think anyone can live like that.

It’s actually a lot faster now with dnf5 in Fedora 41.

You don’t need to type apt-get, you can just do apt upgrade.

KeepassXC + KeepassDX. Have been using them for years without ever thinking of alternatives.

Of course. You said YouTube doesn’t pay enough, so I’m proving you that no amount of money will ever be “enough” for some people. I wouldn’t expect creators to just reject lucrative deals with sponsors because “they already have enough money from youtube”.

Yeah, I hate how they brigade discussions and spam bear stickers.

would not need to include

Yeah, I bet people like MKBHD are barely surviving without sponsors!

Of course you can, unless you’re on a certain lemmy instance.

It’s not ready for everyday users when you disable basic multimedia codecs. I know it’s a US patent issue but still, you can’t expect newcomers and everyday users to just “install a browser via flatpak instead” or “just get your mesa and ffmpeg from this third party repo”
