If I can give my thoughts on what I’ve seen in research and linking various factors together.

1. A not insignificant amount of neurodivergent people tend to pursue a career in IT (mainly people with ASD), these people can learn a lot through self study as it tends to align more with their personal interests, at some point through this they may become exposed to Linux and open source and subsequently choose to learn about that.
2. Research has revealed a strong link between ASD and gender dysphoria. People diagnosed with ASD are ~4 times more likely to experience it.
3. Even if you go through gender reassignment, you are still subject to the societal programming associated with your initial gender (which for boys tends to include videogames).

While these 3 facts on their own don’t mean much, I can see how these come together to create an above-average amount of trans women in the IT and Linux spheres and this only gets amplified by stereotypes.

That said, this is mere speculation on my end based on the things I mentioned above, I am sure it plays a role; but I cannot be sure as to how significant that is in the grand scheme of things.

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

Just include their account address, the webui or your app should do the rest if needed.

I’ve been using Vendetta with a custom stylesheet for mobile which does the AMOLED theme much better than discord, haven’t used the new app yet and I’m honestly contemplating whether I should get the old android native app running again.

Looks very interesting, love to see how well it works (and interoperates between different fediverse platforms)

Tbh, I would not mind a proper chat standard built on activitypub, it’s obvious that this protocol works, now if only somebody built a secure messaging platform with it.

It’s because they rewrote the app from the ground up. They had a lot of issues getting the AMOLED theme to work because the base of the entire thing was written with the idea that there will only ever be 2 themes.

Yup, still mad about that one. Some day nobody will remember that the mobile app was somewhat responsive. I do know that there are projects that still allow you to use the old app; but I don’t know how long the API for it will still be supported by discord.

Knowing how their desktop app works on Linux (or more specifically doesn’t and requires you to mingle with it if you want any degree of Wayland awareness) it doesn’t surprise me their app remake (because it’s not just a redesign) is total garbage. I hope they get around to fixing the performance and bugs; but as things are right now I’m staying on Vendetta and refuse to update.

Simple, they stand up on flat ground

Heya, seems you made a post to lemmy from a mastodon instance.

You can post to lemmy from mastodon, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The first line of your post is the title (if you only post 1 line lemmy will duplicate it), Lemmy only allows text here and things like links will look broken.
2. Hashtags do work on Lemmy, but they will not be useful for discovery here we use communities instead (which display as groups on mastodon)
3. Only the first image in your post is visible on Lemmy, be mindful of this when posting image or video content

I am a human that stumbled upon your post, if you have any questions feel free to reply.

Except all but 3 apps are built on top of things that don’t support it.

Maybe in the future; but I don’t have too much hope right now.

I really like these ones, they are minimalist yet detailed, the bottom set would be a great pair of app/notification icons.

Maybe have an option in the app itself to change the icon so people can choose to use any icons they prefer.

I’ve been using when, it’s very simple; but so are my needs for a calendar.

Go to the site, right click on the url bar and at the bottom there’s the option.

Any site that implements open search can be added.

Only consistent dark theme so I use it on all the mobile apps, I’d much rather have some way of defining a custom theme for apps to follow like you can do with GTK and Qt on Linux.

Then it might be one of those scripts

Discord’s electron still hasn’t received the patch for spectre/meltdown mitigation in the browser, I doubt they will ever have to deal with manifest V3 or WEI.

You can save posts on Lemmy, for me it’s a bookmark icon (I use liftoff) they will show up in your bookmarks.

I love this feature as a nice “come back to this later” button

Man, that’s just ice cold
