  • It's also worth considering that kbin currently has around 600 stars on GitHub, Lemmy has 11k. Kbin is written in PHP, Lemmy in Rust. PHP is older and more mature as an ecosystem than Rust, but Rust is really popular. I've heard few people say nice things about PHP.

    Take from all that what you will, but to me it says kbin will grow more slowly. Also if you use an app to browse you'd hardly know the difference between Lemmy or kbin anyway

  • You get what you pay for with free news. I've been subscribed to The Economist for a few years and all my news is delivered calmly and emotionlessly and backed up by data and research.

    I feel much better and I'm still up to date on real news, not political theatre and recreational rage.

  • Tl;dr it's likely that some of your hardware isn't well supported in Linux or have vendors downright hostile to open source (fuck you, Broadcom and Nvidia) and causes you weird issues that almost always get fixed by the community but may not always work "out of the box"

    I've been in Linux since 2008 and have asked this question in many ways over the years. To get a real answer I'd dig more into the errors you're encountering. I think that a lot of the "simple fixes" you mention are simply options that some hardware configurations need and some don't.

    Flatpak and Linux in general deal with the same huge task as Windows, which is "support any hardware configuration with one universal solution". While Windows is given every advantages by cooperative hardware vendors releasing official drivers, Linux is mostly supported by open source reverse engineered drivers.

    This means that no "universal" system is likely to work all the time in every case, but that's ok because it's all open source and the community finds a way.

    You mentioned themes and some graphical packages, do you have an Nvidia GPU? I never had anything but trouble on Linux with them.

  • The left isn't clamoring for political theatre like the right is. We follow laws and policies being enacted, not merchandise and empty words from wolves dressed like sheep.

    In other words, the right might be stupid enough to fall for something like this because they're too busy following distractions and nonsense, but anyone paying attention to what matters will just think you're an idiot.

  • I grew up in the bible Belt and spent years watching my friends and family get deeper into the MAGA memes and conspiracies, so take it from someone who poured their heart and soul out trying to convince good people not to believe provably false nonsense when I say this.

    Fuck em. They know it's all bullshit. They know they can't actually prove their bullshit. They don't care. Few might eventually come back, but it's not worth the emotional toll on you to try and convince them.

  • "other people don't deserve the same rights as me" is not a fucking political opinion you cretin.

    Those who advocate violence and oppression deserve violence and oppression. Don't want violence brought on you? Don't bring it on others.

    And just because they're polite about it doesn't change any of that. So fuck this "gosh golly gee I just think gays and Jews should be hanged why are you hitting me 🥺" act that isn't fooling anyone.

    Apologies if I misread your post, that all wasn't necessarily directed at you.

  • I'm telling myself it was terf and troll sock puppet accounts.

    I'm very keenly waiting for captcha to be fixed, I hope most instances decide to make you fill out a captcha for EVERY post. That and paid instances will make a huge difference compared to Reddit. It will become way harder to spam and astroturf discussions, but I'm not sure how to handle legitimate bots.

  • I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don't publicly self host anything. If you can't auth via ssh or VPN then you're not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I've got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it's just too close to home.
