The biggest problem with Discord is that its an information black hole. Its not properly searchable and not indexed by search engines.

Discord is fine for casual chat, but horrible when used for forum-type discussions and even worse when used for documentation.

You see the same problems being discussed and solved again and again, but you cant just "link" someone the solution like you could with a forum thread cause its spread out over 3-10 chat messages that are interleaved in-between other topics being discussed in the same room

Anything of long-term value for the project (forum-type discussions, documentation etc) should not recide in Discord

Sounds like the FDA should be involved here somehow..

How much of this is Spotify's fault and how much is the major record labels sitting between Spotify and the individual artists?

And is there a better place for us consumers to go and vote with our wallet? Ideally somewhere that isn't one of the 5 major tech giants that control everything

That's very strange, which distro and GPU was this? So I don't recommend that to anyone?

I'm assuming the GPU in question was Nvidia, since AMD and Intel make their driver opensource and baked in to the kernel. Sadly nVidias latest kernel (535) has been troublesome, so I'm still on the previous 525. nVidia is about to release 545, which looks to be very promising.

Luckily on Ubuntu changing driver is as easy as opening the Additional Drivers application, selecting the driver version, hit apply and reboot. PopOS, Bazzite, and a few others comes with Nvidia drivers preinstalled.

Best of luck if you try again in the future

It might be relatively new, but I'd say Subnautica.

It was such a breath of fresh air when it came out, and instilled both such a sense of wonder at all the vibrant lifeforms of 4546B and also instilling such dread upon encountering reapers or diving deeper than ever before. I still remember the mixed sense of wonder and unease upon discovering the Jellyshroom caves for the first time

Protip: KDE's Dolphin is available for Windows.

The Windows integration isn't perfect, but it's very useful nonetheless. Multiple tabs and the Ctrl+I filter alone makes it worthwhile.

On a related note: KDE's Kate text editor is also available on Windows and it works GREAT! So great that KDE eV has published it on the Windows store, making it easy to install

Depends on what exactly was covered in the patent. The article only says

invented technology in 2010 to "move" videos from a small device like a smartphone to a larger device like a television.

Which is vague and an obvious bogus patent. Prior art exists in both the digital and analogue space

Agreed, that sounds perfect for right now.

A certain community I'm subscribed to is very active right now, to the point of almost drowning out all other committees in my feed. A "temporary hide" would be very welcome

Turns out the real protest was the Fedifriends we made along the way

[-] klangcola@reddthat.com 21 points 1 year ago

Yeah spez is just the figure head, if he got replaced nothing would be resolved.

It's not Fuck Spez, it's Fuck Reddit Inc.

It's still disapointing to see media misrepresent the reason for the protests. Nobody went up in arms when Reddit announced they'll charge for API access, which was announced in April. The protests started because they're charging a bazillion dollars, aka "the fuck you price" effectively banning 3rd party apps without actually banning 3rd party apps

And the "strike" got extended due to the extremely poor handling of the protests from Reddit, like slandering the Apollo dev

Some instances disable downvoting. Is this intended to be for communities on that instance or users on that instance, or both?

I noticed while reading Memes@lemmy.ml ( https://reddthat.com/post/2053 ) that some commenters were talking about being downvoted, but I have no downvote button. Because downvoting is disabled on my instance?

How does it work the opposite way? Are users from lemmy.ml allowed to downvote on posts for example beehaw (who also has disabled downvoting)
