if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram

It’s joever

you just underestimated these general instances of Lemmy

500~ people come to this forum a month

“I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers.” feels like it sets bad expectations considering it’s just “do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?” and ‘game publishers’ might be a little out of date with their wording/justification

They’re not really backing their claim up though in regards to “related to admins” and “admins are deleting other people’s warnings”.
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.

Could be very “useful” for VR hardware I think (for better or for worse)
As the article says, no doubt a snails-pace journey as W11 still needs to expire in 10 years at the very least

Sorry, (now edited) I had stressed it from the sub-title a bit as well

With Linux still being 1.4% that’s actually a lot less steam decks bought than I thought there’d be. Or I guess something fucky could be going on with what i assume is the majority of people with a steamdeck, those with Windows and a Steamdeck

nah don’t worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization

The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[…]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[…]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.

I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)

Kinda weird that they already advertise it as open source when they haven’t done that yet

Now you know how linux users feel

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet

‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ + ‘don’t care about cookies’ ‘Consent-o-matic’
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

I love SongRec, feels like it can spot out most things instantaneously and even can find obscure songs that use the same sample as a more famous one
Linux, not Android, option to use microphone or desktop audio

i’ll admit, it would probably be healthier if you guys could move on now
like sure, keep posting about reddit stuff for the next month, there’s probably relevant stuff to talk about, but there’s no reason to obsess over spez this bad

as a sidenote, really hate how you need to tie either a google or facebook account to make a definition on this site

My main needs are gaming

Most gaming needs, you’ll have to check protondb to see if you’d be comfortable not being able to play certain games. (games not on steam, you can look to Lutris for community made installers)
While Gold and Silver means games require slight setup (setup is usually explained by user-reports), Platinum means you’re good out of the box, Borked means no chance, you especially want to watch out if your game has an Anti-Cheat (and read the latest user-reports on the game if you’re truly desperate to see if things changed in the last week, like sometimes something like Gundam Evolution quietly enables the linux option in EasyAntiCheat)
If you have a steamaccount, you can log in to get the list of games that you already own on that account to easily see their ratings

local AI

Guides are straightforward, you just have to worry about whether you have nvidia or amd

browser stuff

no issues

I’m sorry for the level of discourse I’m about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would’ve seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao

[Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"

dude’s gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute

well that sucks
