Couldn't have dual monitors due to Nvidia drivers not working correctly. Couldn't play Overwatch. Deep Rock Galactic ran very badly and slowly. I've used Linux in the past for years but it's just not good on a gaming laptop.
Of course. Your idea is THE idea. You CANNOT get mass adoption without a minimal amount of hops. You won't get the hordes of pirates running around reading wikis on how to configure their router for piracy and how to get an i2p provider and how to get an index etc.
Torrenting right now is so broadly adopted because you just download a Torrenting client, click the magnet, click OK and you're good to go.
If you HAD to set up port forwarding, some magnet handling register in windows preferences, just those two would stop the bulk majority of pirates. And that's not even 1/4 of what you have to do to use i2p correctly.
i wish to add instances that are not indexed in this db, not possible apparently. I can see that it depends on this API url: https://lemmy.raicuparta.com/communities.json maybe add a customizable api url so that I can set up my own where I clone this api url result & add my own communities?
whenever i set any instance as "preferred" (testing), it adds a new counter to Blocked Instances as can be seen in the image below.
Same. I customize anything I dislike. No need to wait for some elusive extension for a very specific thing I can script in 5 minutes. Especially now with chatgpt as a dedicated all-knowing codemonkey.
OK then my showers are political and my water drinking and air breathing habits are political. I am, for obvious reasons, not using those measures when I talk about apolitical news.
ah yes "Dogs found to carry a gene that lets them bark in ultrasonic waves that mice cannot hear" (fake news title), omg so political. That's the kind of shit I want sometimes. I don't know how you came up to the idea that all news is about what political parties and the ruling class are doing in their day to day lives :) I do love some news about how putin is screwing up something, but I also want news about new cool apps, new developments in technology or AI, new cool stuff found around the world, new opportunities and things in this cool world. Sometimes, just sometimes, I don't wanna hear about what insults Trump is hurling at Biden and viceversa.
I have and it is slow as fuck to type in it, it is also somewhat slow/overburdened so things take a moment and that annoys me, while Liftoff is very very fast. I much prefer the normal UI to WefWef/Vger due to the speed issues. The UI is also too iphoney but that's a trivial issue.
honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile
the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess
i also can't see new comments i post without reloading
idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???
i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.
It seems like the best way is view βallβ not just local
if you're not subbed to a lot of stuff yeah but i already got to the point you mention where i have a shitton of subs and i get good curated content in my feed.
having said that i do browse All often and did in this case to find this post.
to be fair you can subscribe/unsubscribe from communities. I often do this. If /c/news is too political, i unsub from /c/news, i can then go and find some other news community that posts interesting things that aren't as political
similarly, /c/technology@lemmy.world is not the only technology community out there, as is obvious, so we can go and find other things :) your feed is yours! own it! don't wait for others to fix it cuz you'll very often be dissatisfied.
Fun thoughts and all but that isn't the reason why they're blocking it. It's because Facebook is bad. Corporation, big, embrace, expand, extinguish, evil. Plenty of explanations around about why these blocks happened. However you're also right. If it were very small like a 15k people instance and it didn't carry corporations inside maybe they'd consider not blocking.
