True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.
Not from the US and I don't understand why one would support a candidate just because he survived an assassination attempt. Can somebody explain the logic behind this?
Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!
How is this going to end?
Google blocks access to it's services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.
RMS approves
I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?
I tried only Jerboa and that's what I stuck with. It loads fast and has every feature I want. Compare that to the official Reddit app, which is a slog on even high end devices. Seriously, what are they doing that it loads SO SLOW?
It's already too late. Google has a monopoly on the browser market. Do you think your regular normie would continue to use Firefox if Netflix, Instagram, TokTok etc. don't work anymore?
There is nothing we can do. The internet of old is already lost.
That's why I kinda don't like Python and JavaScript anymore. Every time I want types for a library it's gonna take me time to get it working. For every serious project I do, I use a strongly typed language.
Can corporations fuck it up if they want to? Couldn't we just migrate to a new instance and not federate? Or not federate with them from the beginning?
I only joined Lemmy yesterday and I plan on using both for now but this site and app are already a so much better experience without ads and everything loads lightning fast. And then I open reddit and I have to look at the spinning circle everytime I click on something. For some reason, it's even worse on desktop. That shit feels so unresponsive.
Everybody hating on Java being the de facto language every student learns first (at least back when I was in university) but I think it's actually a great first language while I don't think python is for one simple reason: it has types but tries to hide them from you. It is soooo important to understand types early though.
