its not necessarily every single user, but the vast majority of the time when you interact with a .ml account they act insane and are assholes. it may only be a vocal minority, but the mods do nothing to stop them and on .ml communities they actively support that behavior.
you’re missing the point. in subscribed view .ml content can still appear. the point is to make it so that nothing from lemmy.ml can get through at all because the people on that instance suck to interact with.
the ux is dependent on the app or webapp (usually tied to an instance) you are using, and mbin is the same ux as Lemmy like 90% of the time. there is only one mobile app (Interstellar) but its no worse than most Lemmy apps. i think the better federation alone would be enough to make it more popular if Lemmy wasnt the only thing being recommended for threads.
yeah, as much as I hate algorithm-based social media short form content needs it. you scroll from one video to the next with no way to pick and choose which ones you interact with. normally you can just not click on a post and it gets nothing from you, but short form content does not allow that. that means the next video has to be chosen for you, and that regular feeds will not work. that mean you have to have some kind of algorithm or you will have to interact with tons of videos you have no interest in to get to one that is worth watching to you (which is the current state of loops).
mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.
I’m a little behind on this, what does goodreads have to do with bezos?
the best distro is the distro you like most out of the ones that work for whatever it is you do on your pc
it probably does, but it isnt considered a ‘real’ distro since it isnt suitable for non-development use (nor is it meant to be). its a very common misconception about KDE neon to think that since it’s the KDE branded one it must be the best general-purpose KDE distro.
thats why they are making KDE Linux. KDE Linux is going to be what a lot of people mistakenly take neon to be while also fulfilling the role of ‘development standard implementation/example implementation for distros to reference’ much better.
KDE neon is really only a development platform, and it is barely maintained.
my friends do shit like that all the time like you were just saying “windows does stupid thing” and all I said was “linux does this instead they should be doing that on windows” and immediately the neckbeard with fedora gifs start flying
theres a plasma window decoration called klassy that has a bunch of presets. all the windows-like presets are called defenestrated (followed by the number of whatever version of windows it is like).
ive tried several times and so far its worked zero lol
i thought I had to do it all manually. welp, time to boot up virtualbox.
theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating
thats not a whole instance though. thats just a place for an account to be. on activity pub platforms anyone can just make an entire indepent and independently functional instance of the platform.
let them sue, parody is fair use. get that bag king
but can I use a random old computer I have in my house to run an instance as long as there are a managable number of users? renting a server isnt self hosting. making one yourself is self hosting.
bluesky is technically decentralized, but the way it does it makes self-hosting all but impossible due to storage requirements. because of that, it really isnt. its like how a lot of ai models are ‘open-source’ even though the training data isnt available and the ai is still effectively a black box. it isnt decentralized unless anyone can make an instance, just like how it isnt open-source unless you have access to everything that makes it work (yes, by this definition chromium and android aren’t truly open-source, and I stand by that).
arch users hate it when you use gui for some reason
