Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.

Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.

The last paragraph has a Mechanicus ring to it lmao

Go play Half Life Alyx, a “real” game on Source 2.

Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.

Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).

I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don’t want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.

I’d rather get a Android box at the very least…, or just HTPC.

Did they lift the “only curated extensions” bullshit yet? I’m on Kiwi just to be able to run my own (unpacked) extensions that FF doesn’t let me do so.

It was really slow before Quantum happened and it’s smooth sailing ever since imo.

Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.

But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going “if it’s rendered it’s intractable.” This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it’s actually faster.

Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.

Yup Play attestation is dead, even the new and shiny “secure” one is bypassed. It’s now just a hinderence.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

Oh, interesting. Nice to know that, thank you!

Yup, just saw it, thanks!

Niagara costs like six bucks to buy?

Turkish Lira

Dune has one of the most complex (and necessarily logical) universe in it. I’m not surprised every reader found different themes more fitting.

It’s ₺3290 which is $122 in Türkiye.

Have you considered people are mad because:

• Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.

• Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.

• Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn’t help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.

• Having a subscription for features that don’t cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.

• The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.

• Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.

Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync’s UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don’t see myself recommending Sync to friends.

I don’t know what happened but I also see less politics and more interesting topics, which is making me want to vote more let alone to comment more.
