Since you mentioned self-hosting, I guess you're talking about Matrix homeservers. Some are listed here:

(Note that what Discord calls a "server" is not what anyone else in the networking community calls a server; it's a confusing misnomer. Matrix calls it a space, but calling it a community would be understood by most people as well. Also, what Discord calls a "channel" is what Matrix calls a room.)
I know Element sucks compared to Discord
Only if you don't care at all about privacy, agency, or continued access to your communities regardless of corporate whims.
Element can get better.
Yes, as can other Matrix clients, and the network itself. And they are. :)
Existing versions support both X11 and Wayland. Future versions will only support Wayland.

Remember how graphics card prices tripled several years ago, and never came back to sane prices?
Sigh.
the HDMI Forum (which manages the official specifications for HDMI standards) has officially blocked any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1.
I can't think of a reason why this should be surprising. Linux has been running on low-power embedded systems for quite a while.
It also claimed these websites had seen cumulative downloads of 3.2m in just three months this year - from 28th February and 28th May - resulting "in an estimated loss of $170m".
In other words:
- They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.
- They described imaginary money that they never had in the first place as "losses", which is a plain lie. You can't lose something that you never had.
Given that both these blatant falsehoods match the propaganda that big media parasite corporations started pushing a few decades ago, it seems pretty clear who the taxpayer-funded FBI is working for.
The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.
For reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don't think this will affect many people.
From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:
TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:
- DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
- Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
- Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
- After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
- Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin's BPA absorption.
- Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
- Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.
HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Early Puberty
- Cardiovascular system disorders
- Abnormal reproductive system development
- Hormone abnormalities in children
- Susceptibility to various cancers
- Resistance to chemotherapy
- Diminished intellectual capacity

Promised in the same way that the publisher promised the developers a big bonus, only to cheat them out of it later?
