  • Not familiar with how piefed handles it specifically but aren't posts/comments self-upvoted by default?

    You could probably figure it out pretty easily just by looking at a user's posts, no?

    (This is unless piefed makes it so the main actor up votes their own posts, and the anonymous actor upvotes others' posts, but then it would still be possible to do analysis on others' comments to get a pretty accurate guess)

  • Worth noting that there is such thing as color deficiency where specific colors appear more dull than they would for others. It isn't technically colorblindness but could still make it harder to read these tests.

    One of my friends has this with red colors but could see everything else normally, and he described it as red looking way more desaturated than other colors (almost like a brown/gray?).

  • Try Raccoon, the UI feels very similar to what I remember from liftoff, imo it's worth trying. It's still a little bit beta and I've run into formatting issues a few times but the UI is so much better than Jerboa's and has a lot of nice features (like linking cross-posts within the app) that Jerboa doesn't.

  • I normally just use Jerboa but I've been trying Raccoon recently and it's been really good. It's definitely still beta and some formatting doesn't work but each update has made it significantly better so it's definitely worth checking out because the UI is the best of any of the apps I've tried imo

  • Jerboa is by dessalines, the same dev as Lemmy and the owner of lemmy.ml so it's basically just all of the drama inherited from that.

  • In what year were you born?

  • I think either works. Crazy how I was born on January 1, 1900 and I probably share an exact birthday with like half of the people here.

  • Fun fact: chromium has about 1.5 million more lines of code than the Linux kernel (about 32mil vs about 30.5mil), not including whitespace/docs/etc.

  • Ok I get that open source alternatives are better than Google's proprietary stuff but why are y'all downvoting someone for posting a relevant news article and then not leaving any actual comments about it? Even if the app sucks this kind of seems like shooting the messenger when there could've been an actual discussion here.

  • I blame this partially on a lack of good video support

  • Honestly at this point threads federation probably won't even be able to get the first 2 E's because it's opt-in on the Threads side. Most Threads users don't know what ActivityPub is and aren't going to go digging through settings to turn it on. Aside from the POTUS Threads account I legitimately haven't found a threads account I'd remotely care about that bothered to turn it on, even among some of the more tech-oriented ones

  • They aren't your pet then, you're their humans so it's fine

  • Sounds like a quitter's mentality to me!

  • I used lunarvim until I was comfortable enough to use my own neovim setup, can confirm this it is generally a good way to go about doing vim setups.

  • I'm a CS student and Linux was great for all of the programming classes. For any classes that were more writing focused you can still use the online versions of MS office/Google drive. I'm assuming there aren't any programs you'll need specific to psychology but that is sometimes a problem with some STEM majors like engineering

    The one problem that kept me dual-booting on my laptop was OneNote. I like taking notes using a pen for some classes (and my laptop has pen support) and nothing I tried on Linux even comes close in my experience. I tried obsidian + excalidraw plugin, along with xournalpp, but nothing came close for the way I take notes.

  • The video game fight (I think this was in Dio's mansion somewhere?) was pretty good also, it has similar vibes to this one

  • I think the question was meant in terms of Mastodon, not the connected web browser. I.e. are there any apps that let you look at Mastodon posts without signing into Mastodon? Something like Jerboa's anonymous mode.

  • That article also mentions squashing merges though, which would lower the contribution count by a lot unless there's a GitHub setting to have separate branch commits tracked that I'm missing out on.

  • He's a pedophile though so he shouldn't be worshipped

  • Your points about enterprise support are fair but I was more talking about people that believe that FOSS is inherently less secure than something closed source controlled by a single large company (i.e. security by obscurity which doesn't actually work)

    Honestly I do agree in some ways support is better for enterprise products but at the same time companies could still use some sort of source-available license to promote transparency/security auditing while having the same control as a closed source product. It's not FOSS but would definitely be better than having everything closed off

  • I'm a programmer and spend way too much time typing, here's my 2 cents on numpads

    • You have to move further whenever you reach for the mouse, which is bad for your shoulders over time
    • You get less space for a mouse on smaller desks which is annoying for KB+mouse games
    • Alpha keys being off-center is also bad for posture over time.

    If I used a numpad it would probably have to be on the left side but honestly I'll realistically move over to a split setup like the one in the other comment before I get a numpad. Until then, 65/75% keyboards ftw.
