It's relevant in open source because folks like you who are proficient in PHP are less likely to contribute to the project because it's just not fun for you to work in that language.

PHP also seems to be really unpopular in general. I'm not insulting it as I've never used it but no one that has seems to have many nice things to say about it in my experience

It's also worth considering that kbin currently has around 600 stars on GitHub, Lemmy has 11k. Kbin is written in PHP, Lemmy in Rust. PHP is older and more mature as an ecosystem than Rust, but Rust is really popular. I've heard few people say nice things about PHP.

Take from all that what you will, but to me it says kbin will grow more slowly. Also if you use an app to browse you'd hardly know the difference between Lemmy or kbin anyway

What's the brand?

So it's sort of like "proxying" through pointers to enforce memory isolation?

It's an old code sir, but it checks out.

You get what you pay for with free news. I've been subscribed to The Economist for a few years and all my news is delivered calmly and emotionlessly and backed up by data and research.

I feel much better and I'm still up to date on real news, not political theatre and recreational rage.

Tl;dr it's likely that some of your hardware isn't well supported in Linux or have vendors downright hostile to open source (fuck you, Broadcom and Nvidia) and causes you weird issues that almost always get fixed by the community but may not always work "out of the box"

I've been in Linux since 2008 and have asked this question in many ways over the years. To get a real answer I'd dig more into the errors you're encountering. I think that a lot of the "simple fixes" you mention are simply options that some hardware configurations need and some don't.

Flatpak and Linux in general deal with the same huge task as Windows, which is "support any hardware configuration with one universal solution". While Windows is given every advantages by cooperative hardware vendors releasing official drivers, Linux is mostly supported by open source reverse engineered drivers.

This means that no "universal" system is likely to work all the time in every case, but that's ok because it's all open source and the community finds a way.

You mentioned themes and some graphical packages, do you have an Nvidia GPU? I never had anything but trouble on Linux with them.

I'm sorry the fucking what ATGM?

No. It's always a pain the ass. I love how it makes me feel though.

Bot account? That comment is generic enough to apply to any topic.

I've never seen it but fuck Human Centipede. I read it on Wikipedia and it still fucked me up

Can't get hacked if all your services are down because you can't get those cocksuckingmothershitbitchingassbastard routing tables right 🤯

I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don't publicly self host anything. If you can't auth via ssh or VPN then you're not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I've got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it's just too close to home.
