Really? Why would it be a bad idea to bring a sign to a protest? Can't think of any reason.

If users started to switch to it, how would the primary instance handle that level of traffic?

They can't. Not without enshittification and monetization. But I suspect that that is their goal. They have no interest in federation, not even on the future roadmap. The developer also stated elsewhere that he won't support self-hosting officially, and it only became a thing after long back and forth in the community. I already know where that project will go and I don't like it.

Element is run by a for-profit company.

It's not federated, no video call, no screen share. Pretty useless so far.

Element is run by a for-profit company. Plus, it's not even remotely similar to Discord. Apples and oranges.

Wrong community mate. This isn't a place for politics. This is a place for honest questions.

Lost on Lemmy?

The entire open-source scene grew out of that exact system before LLMs even existed. What are you talking about?

Also, just because somebody has the right to make their code open-source doesn't mean that everyone should be forced to do the same. If you decide to make a living by writing books under a permissive license you should be able to do that. This is a free world. Nobody is forcing open-source developers to make the code proprietary. But people like you feel to be in the moral right to force the opposite to others.

Why do you ask this question here? Do you actually want to know?

Did it work?

He means it as a placeholder for whoever the previous commenter identifies himself as. It's a response to him addressing vegetarians but not specifying what we should call him.

I use Signal for private and personal messages. I use Discord solely for gaming and voicechat. A good alternative doesn't need to be overly private (although that would be a bonus of course). It just needs to have a good UI and feature parity with Discord.

Well first thing my mom asked me was where she can run Office. Second thing she asked was how she can go back to Windows as it has Office already installed.

I tried Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, Xubuntu. They all have problems. Most of these problems like software or driver support are probably not their fault. But they are problems nontheless. I cannot recommend Linux as a daily driver for non-techsavy users.

It's awesome for software devs, sys admins, tinkerers. But that's it. Most distros still have too many issues for me to recommend it to every Windows user.

Librewolf is already listed. There are unfortunately no good alternatives to Windows and ChatGPT or Gemini.

Mistral sucks. Vivaldi is Chromium. Linux has terrible user experience.

iPhones are already a hard pass from me. iPad is great. But iPhone is terribly overprices and years behind the competition.

No. I'm using Lemmy.

Besides that, who cares. I'm using Lemmy.

No I'm also talking about resolution too. You can tell on 100 inches. On 100 inches a 1080p pixel is more than one millimeter in diameter. You can definitely see that when you sit 3 meters away from the screen. 4k will give you visibly more sharpness. Provided of course that you don't butcher your movie with terrible bitrate compression.
