Not wrong. If I search for a particular app it gives me an advert based on that search at the top of my screen that looks mostly like the first search result. It's begining to remind me of schetchy warez websites I use to not use as a teenager.

That would be nice but the finances don't allow it currently. However, one shouldn't need a 4k monitor to get nice text rendering on Linux when it's perfectly fine on Windows on resolutions smaller than that.

I think you might be a little confused friend.

That streamer is paid by them so I wouldn't put much faith in their opinion on it.

Font rendering works OK if you just use your PC for whatever, but for me as a developer I am staring at text all day so I need them as crisp and legible as they can be.

On Windows, out of the box the fonts render perfectly, meaning I can jump between my various editors and tools and just get to work. On Fedora (which I dual boot with currently), even the exact same fonts look like a mess compared to Windows. In particular, the Ubuntu Mono font looks like a completely different (and much nicer) font on Windows than it does on Fedora for me. The same was true for Mint as well which I used previously.

I've probably put several hours of effort messing with my .fonts.conf and Fontconfig settings to attempt to get it even close to as great as on Windows and nothing ever comes close. I'd love anybody to hand me a silver bullet and fix it but not a thing I've read online does.

My operating system.

It's not that I prefer it per se, rather I have better things to do then e.g. spend 2 hours messing with my font rendering to end up with a result half as good as Windows is out of the box.

Sounds like they are going to speed run what happen with Voat.

Moons were one of the worst things to happen to /r/cryptocurrency. All the posts now are basically a complete circlejerk aimed at maximising the amount of moons they earn rather than posting actual good content. Reposts, bots and clickbait was already extremely rife there. I can't believe they're turning the whole of Reddit into that. Yuck.

Why wouldn't you just install uBlock Origin on them though?

I'm surprised that Vivaldi isn't more popular next to Brave tbh.

You get Chromium with a bunch of other features if you want them, but no crypto crap. They even run their own Mastodon instance with built-in functionality out of the box.

Never trust anything sold to you with crypto incentives honestly.

Games, software, no matter what.

You're got going to magically turn into one of these people by using Brave btw.

Connect has had so many updates in the last few weeks that it's practically a different app now.

I'm just happy we have all of these choices.

The FOSS apps are fantastic already and Sync is there if you want that too.

Sure here you go

I tend to agree but that doesn't mean we should see bots analysing every post and comment looking for these things either. Lemmy isn't a school essay or a formal letter where these thing truly matter.

Personally, I come here to relax and discuss topics of interest, not be nitpicked over the posts and comments I make.

A platform like Lemmy is about communicating in a relaxed non-formal way with others. How you achieve that is fine and spelling mistakes etc don't really matter. At the very least, such a bot should only be opt-in if you like it. Otherwise, leave the nitpicking to the teachers.

Bots like gramma and spelling bots should just gtfo. Every bot should be a genuine postitive improvement to a community or otherwise they shouldn't exist.

You're right. Your local instance deserves that money more so than any app. Maybe if there was a revenue share I could get behind it but not like this.

I'm fairly sure that HP Enterprises includes their IT outsourcing arm and anybody who's had experience with them will confirm how shit they are too.
