to me, a person should be seen in his entirety. because only fictional characters are without flaws.

There are “flaws” like adding pineapple to pizza, and there are “flaws” like defending and encouraging sex with minors. Fuck Richard Stallman.

Ah yes, Richard Stallman, the guy who defended his paedophile colleague by saying some kids mature earlier than others. What a nice billionaire, let’s religiously love this dude.

Explain that to the official support forums lol

YouTube didn’t “kill the competition”. They never had to.

All YouTube competitors very quickly faced the issues relating to ingesting, storing and moderating video. The scalability is a nightmare.

Two things, one they’ll openly admit, one they’ll pretend is not a factor but it’s the main reason.

The first are snaps. Snaps are a way of package distribution created by Canonical with the goal of solving a few problems on Linux: snaps allow a piece of software to be installed bundling the exact dependencies it wants, run inside a sandboxed container, and be updated with ease regardless of the rest of the system. If you’re familiar with Flatpaks, you might think they sound similar - that’s because they are, the difference being snaps came first and are hosted by Canonical, while Flatpaks came later and are hosted by the community.

Snaps, like all similar packages on Linux, suffered with slower app launch speeds, issues with drivers or other system components not interacting correctly with the sandbox, and so on. Those issues have been mostly fixed, and snaps are loved by people who use Canonical’s solutions to workstations and servers.

“Snap bad too slow, canonical le evil” stayed though. It’s worth noting that while enabled by default, snaps can be disabled. So that’s reason number one.

Reason number two is simple: Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro for desktop usage, and the most often recommended for beginners.

This means Ubuntu goes against the “we aren’t normies” mentality that dominates a portion of the Linux community. It’s hard to feel like a super genius for using Linux when your neighbor who can barely understand a keyboard can simply install Ubuntu in an afternoon and everything works great. Ubuntu being the home for newcomers also means said newcomers will often appear in Linux forums asking for help, and lots of tutorials are written for Ubuntu - which angers users from other distros.

So that’s it. That’s why Lemmy hates Ubuntu. Every other argument like “oh no Ubuntu is too closely tied to Canonical’s objectives” or “Oh no, Ubuntu is too opinionated and will change tradition in other to appease newcomers” could be applied to a million other distros, but you won’t see people complaining about them.

That’s obvious. But the test was made on Ubuntu, so they can only report about their results on Ubuntu. They did not claim they can’t be similar in other distros.

Lemmy’s “Ubuntu bad” sentiment gets a bit ridiculous sometimes.

It’s important to remember that internet culture and interactions themselves changed a lot from early days to now.

So actually, yes, Reddit did have a lot of “cloned” content that was just the same as what we were doing on previous platforms, but things were changing fast enough as to also make Reddit develop a personality of their own.

Lemmy could have that too… If we toned down the generic Linux memes.

I wonder if the open source driver will ever be able to replicate quite advanced features such as frame generation.

DLSS is easy enough - make the driver have a generic hook compatible with the Windows DLL, which Proton already can use.

But frame generation? It actually requires the driver to intercept quite a lot of calls from the game engine.

important to ecosystems

Because they’re invasive species to most places in the world. They’re important for their original ecosystem.

The way he described how it works is objectively and verifiably wrong - it simply does not work like that. Whether he likes Lemmy or not is a separate matter, that doesn’t change how it works.

If a Lemmy user searches “woodworking” and the biggest woodworking community isn’t on your instance, you have to leave Lemmy

It seems like you have a misunderstanding about how Lemmy works. This is incorrect.

You’ll be able to see all “woodworking” communities that exist in your instance or that are federated with your instance. This difference isn’t subtle, because as long as somebody from your instance has interacted with the external one, they’ll immediately start syncing.

For instance, I can search for “gaming” on my Lemmy.world account and the biggest communities aren’t even hosted here. Yet, I can follow them and interact normally, and I needed zero external sites or tools to find them.

The only possible friction is hosting your own l Lemmy instance, or joining one that is likely to be defederated from others. But most users will not create an account on a shady instance, they’ll likely join the biggest “normal looking” public ones, and so far, federation hasn’t been an issue (apart from debates regarding very politically noisy instances).

This very chain of comments exists because I, a Lemmy.world user, had zero issues joining this Lemmy.ml community.

Oh, and by the way, downvoting my comment means absolutely nothing - you’ve accomplished nothing, because that button doesn’t mean “I disagree”.

Well, when I join a Discord group for books, I don’t automatically join all book Discord channels ever created.

I don’t see what the difference is, unless you’re willing to explain.

I had to filter “Elon Musk” and “Linux” but after doing that, yes!

You peasants debating over compositors and window servers.

I only interface with my computer over a headless terminal that prints the output using a matrix printer in another room. I programmed my VERY OWN hangman game, and no, you can not look at the source code to find the answers because I OBFUSCATED THINGS, you absolute lump of failed carbon.

Oh no I’m so offended!

What made you so angry, my dude? Your shaders not compiling correctly? Overpaying for an exclusive release that lacks basic features present in the discounted Steam release that came after the agreement ended?

That may not automatically imply 100% contribution

Thus the angry fans on the forum.

Nope.

Dead serious.

I’d love it if the company who decides to sign exclusivity agreements for PC games stopped existing. And I would doubly love if we could go an entire generation without all games relying on a bugged version of Unreal Engine.

The most information I could find about it is a forum thread where angry FreeBSD fans react to an article talking about how the Nintendo Switch used FreeBSD components, which led to people mentioning the PlayStation 3 which led to a user talking about how Sony contributed upstream.

Which means I found literally nothing.

That’ll be the death of epic

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Imagine calling flavor “oils and sludge”
