This is my favorite combo. Best apps for general use. Interstellar is better for image posts since it’s the only Lemmy app that supports masonry layout.

It also has a web app for desktop.

Personally, I’ve always been a big fan of Sync for Reddit / Lemmy, and Thunder for Lemmy is the closest thing I’ve seen yet, so that’s my daily driver on Android. On desktop I use Alexandrite.

Same here. Alexandrite has been the best for me too. I hope the official UI gets as clean.

So, all downstreams have no added value?

Why would it break?

If he’s a dev, he might actually prefer it. Just explain and let him decide which one he wants to try first.

What’s New in LibreOffice 26.2

Markdown import and export features. Improved performance and responsiveness across the suite, making large documents open, edit, and save more smoothly. Enhanced compatibility with documents created in proprietary and open core office software, reducing formatting issues and surprises. Refined user interface behavior for a cleaner, more consistent experience. Expanded support for open standards, reinforcing long-term access to documents. Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements contributed by the global LibreOffice community.

See the Release Notes for the full list of new features.

Markdown, great!

Also, I’m curious about the UI refinement.

I prefer Gnome aesthetically, but I value more KDE’s speed to implement gaming related features.

Please Servo, you’re our only hope.

I used Sync since their original launch for reddit.

I use Thunder for Lemmy now. Recommended.

Just like any other FOSS project:

Devs chose a repo of their choice, the distributor (in this case Nexus) choses a repo (GitHub is either free or very cheap for FOSS projects) to check for compliance, vulnerabilities, etc and then it’s cloud natively packaged for distribution.

This is how Flathub, Homebrew, and the Universal Project distros are built and distributed.

I bet Nexus would save a ton of money if they went this way.

Any GIT repo ?

Since Valve’s midas touch, KDE Plasma has been pure gold for gaming. I love it.

It’s a win for everyone except Epic. PURE BLISS.

The only better alternative (for me) would be a bunch of DRM free stores feeding their catalogues to an open source front-end that has everything that Steam already does.

Like Heroic, Lutris, Playnite, etc. But way more developed features and with official vendor support and a built-in unified store that supports all catalogues in the same view, like a federated marketplace.

That would be the only thing capable of moving me away from Steam completely.

I love Gnome, for me… their UI is the most beautiful of any desktop OS. But I had to move to KDE Plasma primarily for all the gaming related features that come out first on Plasma. That led me to see just how much flexibility I was missing.

Now I greatly value both desktop environments, both visions are valid, but they cater completely different minded users.

Please share an example podcast title & author.

It would be useful if you could compare it to current FOSS alternatives. I mean, why this instead of say… Ironcalc, collabora, etc.

I wouldn’t give them a dime even if it meant playing my favorite series’ sequel. I don’t like the people behind it, I don’t like how they think, I don’t like what they envision for the industry, and I don’t want to contribute in any measure to any of that ever happening.

It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.
