An option to remove unauthenticated access to the main feed would be a great fix for the first issue, and probably would be desirable on single user/invite only instances where the admins don't want random people taking up server resources with the web interface

Idk if this is really true, I don't what situations you need to use the command line in Ubuntu or Fedora that would affect more than 10% of users max. You install packages through the store, wifi can be managed through the gui, external drives mount automatically. Imo this should cover the use case for almost everyone.

Pay for a search engine so you can get in the habit of not using it? They've really got you lol

My God, 5$ for unlimited searches would have been expensive, but you only get 300! This thing would have to literally read my mind, and even then I don't think it would be worth it

Do people actually believe anything they do on company computers is private? I honestly assume that someone is at least skimming my work messages already

It's definitely in part that the only marketing open source services do is "your weird computer nerd friend evangelizing" what is so baffling to me is that even my friends who are very anti-corporate left leaning won't jump off corporate services even if I offer to host for them, I'd happily host lemmy, mumble, etc. So they can get off corporate apps but they're completely uninterested.

You can still imperatively edit configs for packages where you don't have / aren't using the declarative config. You'll just have the same reproducibility issues that you'd have on other systems. In general all the declarative NixOS modules do is generate the config files you'd normally write yourself, sometimes with some extra error checking. I've been doing this for my neovim config because I haven't cared to port it to the module's way and I want it to work on systems without nix.

Unironically me

You have to know exactly what to ask for, which is a big problem when you're starting out

People seem to forget half the grid took an engine penalty that weekend, and that track was particularly suited to the williams. Wasn't impressive in the least.

Documentation is crap, but has been getting much better recently. Companies are also starting to use NixOS in production and are making contributions. The low friction ARM development process becomes more relevant every day.

A lot of sites will show an article stub in the feed, then make you go to the full site to read the whole thing.

Makes you wonder how fast the racing point actually was in 2020 lol

As time goes on I've been using the down vote more freely. Generally for anything I find low quality. I used to be more restrained with it but now I see it more as another tool that I have to shape the kind of content that gets promoted in the communities I interact with. It's the only option beyond withholding an upvote to keep low effort posts, trolling, and bigotry out of your communities other than reporting, which shouldn't do anything unless a post breaks the rules.

Brain dead take. Sums up as "Wah! Information you publicize is public!" This guy completely misses the fact the the privacy nightmare of corporate social media is the apps that scrape every piece of traceable information off your phone to sell, and the cookies and browser tracking so they can follow you all over the web. AFAIK fediverse sites aren't doing this.

The lack of a battle pass is really great imo, whenever games include them it puts a bad taste in my mouth. It's also really scratching the BF3/4 itch that's been missing from the market since Dice took Battlefield in a less vehicle focused direction, and tossed any sort of thoughtful map design off a cliff.

I've found lately GPUs are the only thing that's way out of line price wise. CPUs are as reasonable as ever, SSDs and RAM are cheaper than they've ever been. If you're willing to go for a last gen GPU you can get a great deal on the used market. I don't think the situation is nearly as dire as this time last year.
