It reminds me of when Flash was an exciting technology and websites were made in Flash. Very painful.

Also, check if your instance has a Status page and bookmark it.

That is the beauty of the Fediverse. If you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance in Lemmy 0.19. We need to think of Lemmy instances as countries with their own laws, culture, and policies. So in my opinion, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance.

Read? Lemmy is Reddit 2.0. Unfortunately, the majority don’t read articles.

Very insightful! /s

Because of Valve, Linux is finally my main OS. I’m a PC gamer and it was a pain in the ass to dual-boot between Windows and Linux.

Regular plasma customizable widgets. That’s the beauty of KDE.

That’s a very extreme view, my friend. A lot of Youtubers come up with good products. For example, LevelOneTechs has come up with a pretty good KVM that a lot of mainstream companies haven’t been able to perfect. So I enjoy it when Youtubers advertise their merch.

The story behind Senerenity OS is quite amazing:

It was October 2018 and I had just completed a 3-month rehab program at a state addiction clinic in Sweden. I was unemployed, staying with family, and had basically nothing going on.

With no drugs or other vices to pass the time, the days seemed impossibly long. I struggled to find activities to fill them. I enrolled in school for a while, but it wasn’t for me this time either. Eventually I turned to programming, since it’s always been my big interest in life.

Until that point, my career had been focused on web browsers (WebKit at Apple & Nokia). However, I had always been interested in low-level things so I began tinkering with some of that. I wrote a little ELF executable parser… And an Ext2 filesystem browser… And a little GUI framework with an event loop…

Out of this tinkering, an operating system began to take shape. I chose the name SerenityOS because I wanted to always remember the Serenity Prayer. I was quite worried about my future at the time, and I figured that this name would help me stay on the good path.

My general idea was to build my own dream system for daily use. It would be a combination of my two favorite computing paradigms: the 1990s GUI and the no-nonsense command-line of late-2000s Unix.

The apps page now has sections for Android, iOS, and web apps, as well as libraries. Feel free to do a pull request to add any apps that are missing.

It would be great if the apps page was also filterable (Android, iOS, etc). Because I was initially confused when I saw the page, seeing the Android apps and not realizing the iOS section was further down. And new apps are being developed all the time, so the page will be overwhelming.

No thanks. Their license type is MIT. I’m a strong proponent of copyleft.

Voyager is best in iOS at it was heavily inspired by the ex-App Apollo.

Indeed Lemmyverse.net is the way.

I had the same problems until I switched to an AMD card. Since then it’s been smooth sailing in Wayland.

This question should be posted on r/askreddit…

I’ve been an iPhone user since 2017, so I’ve been out of the loop. Are battery issues due to misbehaving apps (like flashlight spyware apps) still a thing on Android?

When I hear remaster, I now hear Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

The problem is that Gnome vanilla is too vanilla, even compared to MacOS. Extensions are an absolute must for Gnome to be a functional DE. But as you said, once extensions are involved, it becomes buggy.

The whole thing seems rushed because the CEO of Unity, John Riccitiello, was the leading advocate of microtransactions when he was at EA, and now he is instilling the same culture at Unity.

How will they differentiate between pirated copies and legitimate copies? How will they distinguish first-time installs from repeat installs? Can we trust their algorithm? It just doesn’t seem possible.
