Considering Google's failure to support the tablet form factor on Android (many 1st party Google apps have much better versions for the iPad), I am skeptical this will lead to anything good.

I guess we are sort of on the same page then. :)

I have no issues with LW (and most other instance). I mod/curate multiple communities on LW.

I definitely do not intend to "run down" LW (if I am understanding the meaning of "run down" correctly).

Definitely. I've been on the Threadiverse for a while now.

The problem is that ML is such a prominent instance and the lead devs are degenerate tankies.

And I don't use the word degenerate lightly or as a generic insult.

Claiming (without irony) that North Korea is good place to live and their political system has been discredited by a vast capitalist conspiracy led by the BIA is a sign of true degeneracy. It doesn't even matter if they are engaging in demagoguery or not.

I was indeed refering to the rolling release nature of Arch-style distros.

Having every update be a potential system breaker is not in any way user friendly, nor is it a user friendly experience to have to audit updates.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. Clients can directly play the media without any need for realtime transcoding. I could 4K transcoding being challenging for older Raspberry Pi SBCs.

You most definitely can.

But that doesn't change the fact Lemmy's devs are a bunch of degenerate tankies.

Very interesting.

Didn't think such a "dirty" method of moving from Lemmy to Piefed would work

Arch from scratch sounds like an adventure.

I enjoy front-end configuration (Win11 doesn't allow the taskbar on top, a non starter for me), for everything else around the OS/DE, I want zero adventures. I want it to be as boring as possible.

One other big issue for me is that it seems the last version of Office that works somewhat well via emulation (Codeweavers) is Microsoft Office 2013. This is ancient release and there are lot of must have features in later releases if use Word/Excel/Powerpoint in a professional capacity.

The whole post in general is a good non-polemic piece on why we should not be using ICT services from commercial American organizations (the we includes sane Americans).

We are dealing with people who are not capable of honesty.

is something I’ve never seen in any other online platform

It's not that common, but I've seen it in other forums. One example would be Somethingawful, it even has a comedic bent to it.

I am assuming the modlog concept for lemmy was taken from SA.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

I am Ukrainian. I hope the lemmy devs and all tankies get to experience russian genocidal imperialism firsthand.

Do you see why this is "literally" an issue?

I've been using DietPi on my SBC home servers (NAS, media service, pi-hope, etc.) since 2017 or so.

It's an excellent distro for headless operation and makes CLI easy to use for somewhat casual users.

Interesting, I don't use Linux on desktop (I've been using it on various Raspberry Pi SBCs since 2017 or so), but I am thinking whether to finally switch because Win11 sounds like a pain.

I was always under the impression that most Arch-derived distro were not really user friendly.

What do you like about Garuda?

The link seems rather outdated.

Stupid reply.

There is massive spectrum of options between macOS and Arch Linux.

With a quote post, the post you are quoting is fully (text, avatar image) nested in your post.

It was commonly used on Twitter (I deleted my accounts some time ago).

This would be a really neat feature and would allow for the best of both worlds so to speak.

No idea, I do use Mastodon relatively regularly, but I am not on top of development discussions.

This was news for me so I decided to share. :)
