  • It's not just a Linux thing; it's a joke about nerds in general or chronically online people being too invested in whatever they're doing like: playing video games, arguing on/moderating forums, or reading books and never taking time to care for outside things, including themselves.

  • The joke is that Linux users don't take showers and don't care about hygiene. The "free and open source" part has no actual meaning.

  • Why would they be different about it?

    Because if they rush it into stable, and then find flaws in it, or want to change how an API works for whatever reason, it will break applications that used to work perfectly one compositor update ago. (not so stable behavior)

    When you first transition to Wayland, you need to replace applications that don't use Wayland APIs and it's a pain in the ass. Now imagine having to do that every time your compositor is updated. That's what rushing things into stable will do.

  • Desktop customization; I am using KDE Plasma, and I have two panels: one on the right, which has a "task manager", and the top panel which has an app-launcher, pager, clock, cpu load, and the system tray. I don't know if you can even have two panels in Windows.

    Modularity: Switch whatever component with whatever you see fit. You can switch out the desktop environment you're using, switch out the sound server, the init system, the bootloader, etc.

    You can update flatpaks using a bash script, you can even make a command to update system packages and flatpaks, by just adding alias update="sudo pacman -Syu && flatpak update" to your /.bashrc file.

  • alias update='sudo pacman -Syu && flatpak update' or just use one of the trillion GUI app stores like pamac, discover, or gnome's thing whatever they call it.

  • These posts look like they are making fun of Mozilla at first glance, Like: "Privacy not included" -Mozilla

  • This doesn't seem so insignificant anymore.

  • It does work, and it's pretty annoying when you discover it's on, by playing HTML games.

  • LibreWolf doesn't have the privacy invasive pocket extension out of the box, and instead comes with UBlock origin. It disables Google safe browsing, because Google, and denies canvas access to websites by default. It also disables the Mozilla telemetry that's enabled by default in vanilla Firefox.

  • Firefox running under native wayland for smooth scrolling and with apz.overscroll.enabled set to true. The best experience on Linux.

  • Usually when I see hexbear users around, they are just holding a normal conversation. But there's this one thread I found where a guy with three obvious alt accounts is trolling, and a dozen hexbear users are licking a certain dictator's boots. So I would say it ranges from Normal to Tankies.

  • You say this, and yet you are still ignoring the other racist parts in this image. almost like you don't care about the racism, and only picked one aspect about the image that was racist for the sake of having the moral high ground.

  • I bet he wasn't making this face when he was preparing for the shooting.

  • There's already a dozen of those containers communities, but these "memes" keep leaking.

  • They have a good system in place where normal users moderate the site; if a comment is disliked by enough users it's "slimed to death". It will be harder to find and when you find it you have to click it, to see what it said.

    This doesn't work well because there aren't that many users on Odysee compared to Youtube, and the users who are most vocal are not the friendliest people. so those comments aren't overshadowed by other comments, and sometimes they are the only comments on the video.

  • It's federated, just like Lemmy and KBin. You can subscribe to a Peertube channel from Lemmy.
