I ran a niche VW community and for a quarter of a year, I singlehandedly posted multiple posts daily. No downvotes, subscribers gained, 50+ up votes on some but practically 0 community engagement or content. Lemmy is too small still to support anything but politics or tech of a certain slant.
You seem angry.
Apple only so Fuck’em.
“It happens all the time” and “they always do *” is also comically unhelpful and useless. I’m getting a pot/kettle vibe from those that seem to take offense at my comment.
I also use FF solely and have no slowdowns on YT. I guess they like my copy of the browser.
I’m sorry but I don’t see how that check is browser-specific. Is that part happening on the browser side?
Nobody can even state that it’s actually happening “for competitive browsers” as even Chrome users are reporting an unexplained lag/slowdown. At this point, it’s just wild speculation and bandwagoning.
I chose not to wait. Greasemonkey script for blocking on desktop, Connect app for blocking on phone.
My issue(I think) is a combination of games utilizing anticheat(I’ve not gotten a single one to work yet) and also trying to play non-new games that were not designed during the Steam push for compatibility. I can’t use linux to play the games I like to play so I use a Win host for gaming and to run my linux install in a VM on the second screen.
Few games? Man, you and I are definitely having a different experience.
I don’t think the issue is performance though. The unspoken part of this comparison is in bold:
“Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games. In the games we could find that work on linux, the performance was 17% faster on average. In all the rest of the games, Windows worked 100% better.”
It looks like they were going to give two mints but thought better of the added expenditure.
Any politics and porn servers or communities get blocked.
I can’t say I don’t use Google as I own an unrooted pixel on the Fi network but I’ve done what I’m able to lessen the information given to them by stopping the use of the search engine, browser and sandboxing any Google pages in my FF browser. It started bothering me how much I was relying on one company for nearly everything online.
My next phone will likely be rooted and running a different OS.
I won’t sit through a non-organic product placement. If I’m watching a guy weld up a body panel and he tells me how great a welder is, it doesn’t bother me. If I’m watching and he starts telling me about his VPN or a phone game, that shit’s getting skipped.
I understand the intention but it’s not necessarily a platform thing. Lemmy has the same type of people, just in smaller concentrations due to it being less used.
As an example, I was called a fucking moron, a nazi and told “Fuck you” over a simple discussion over graffiti by a real gem on Lemmy. Until his participation, nobody was hostile or angry and throughout equating me with a group of people that perpetuated the holocaust because I disagreed with his stance on something so innocuous, the group mods seem to be chill with it and apparently enough people also felt my stance put me in Nazi territory because he got some upvotes.
My point only being, there are terrible people on any platform that are incapable of having a discussion without becoming the lowest common denominator and the platforms (Lemmy included) generally won’t feel the need to take action. It’s just part of the charm of the internet. We could just as easily create a /c/ for Lemmy stuff that shouldn’t be ok but is.
I feel like even when this article was published in 2015, Dr. Oz would be small potatoes compared to a large portion of the population getting their medical advice from celebrities, influencers and self-proclaimed experts on their favorite social network.
I understand your point but if you end up on their forum through searches, it’s pretty clear that the majority of participants are the loud ones, making it irrelevant how many quiet ones aren’t participating. You’re just reading a topic between someone needing help and a group of people trolling them because they can.
Their wiki is amazing but if I had to be a part of the Arch community to use the distro, I would give it a hard pass. They’re toxic AF.
This is too vague to even discuss.
