1) People have been gathering around the idea of moving to lemmy (see the Star Trek subreddit for example), resulting in a number of posts over the past week here about it 2) My general frustration with FOSS projects having zero interest in

The vast majority of casual users don't care. They want something that works and doesn't get in their way with weird bullshit. If you want lemmy to be something other than a self-filtered community of misfits and outcasts, you nee

Uh ... plenty of companies have a UX team. They're mostly all graphic designers. "four guys fiddling with design" is nothing. Either you care about having a well-designed UI or you just want a pretty one with a high conversio

Microsoft basically used to do this too. We can see that they clearly don't anymore.

Can't just skip the logical step to WSL360. That would be madness.

I still don't understand Java versioning. Apparently the latest JRE is still 8u371? Is that Java 8? How does that relate to the SDK I use which is 17 or 20?

There's just no point in invoking ethics in something like this when the ethical concerns affect every commonly used currency.

Oh, right. Didn't see it from that angle, my bad. All the current "forks" of Chromium basically rely on continued development by Google, saving them from having to invest in all the engineers necessary to work on, maintain an

On that note, I really enjoyed using terminal-based Reddit clients like rtv. Simple interface and controls. No wasted space. I've never really liked text-based browsers, but a bespoke client for a specific site somehow worked for me.

Jellyfin is marginally better than Plex, but I also encountered a lot of quirks with Jellyfin which ended in me giving up on it for streaming my media to my other devices. I just want something that automatically transcodes whatever I watch

They criticize lack of support for native ASTC decoding in modern GPUs. I'm wondering, how beneficial would ASTC compressed textures be for game sizes (on disk and for VRAM)? A quick search gives me https://www.khronos.org&#

Because Google retains tight control over Chromium and outsiders generally have no say in important decisions/changes. If Google kills support for one image format in favor of their own, that basically means every Chromium fork doesn&#

What are the chances it's Google or Apple?

Agreed. There are far more differences/changes between Chromium-based browsers than Firefox ones (which just remove Mozilla telemetry or provide a way to use old-style extensions). It really was a huge shame that they chose to base Edg

You're still missing the point. I've explained it to you. Not much else I can do.

I just can't agree. There is clear progression from first reaching the level cap and clearing T6 and eventually getting good enough gear to finally clear T16. Then continuing to improve your build and gear until you do GR70, 100, 130.

Fact of the matter is that ARPG today generally means a Diablo-like game. It defined the genre that we know today as ARPGs. You can name other games ARPGs if you want, but it has nothing to do with Diablo or the genre that Diablo defined. I

lemmy doesn't need to compete against 1999's Reddit, or whenever it was released. It needs to compete against modern Reddit, which has massive communities with hundreds of thousands of members.

I think you're misinterpreting it. The full quote: > Long Covid is looking less like a cloudy mass of speculation and shoulder-shrugging, and more like a problem that medical science can start to unravel, using the tools we already

Agree. Imo, alternatives like lemmy just poison the well when they can't handle a tiny fraction of the users of a single subreddit.

Like everything else, it should be configurable. SublimeText provides a version that shows a minified view of the document I have open. That's incredibly useful. If you don't need/want that, you can change it to a standard sc
