Yes, that's why it is so good.

I guess we are the ones remembering how it was 15+ years ago

I would really want to know what's up with Checo. It is almost like he wants out of RB.

I would add as most important: psychologically unhealthy behaviour their algorithms are promoting.

It starts normally, but algorithm is rewording unhealthy posts and soon whole network is full of it, it happens since they are just hunting "engagement", click, time in the app and basically addiction.

I don't understand why are people so fixated on facebook and twitter, if you want it just go there and have account there.

If we think that lemmygrad is bad, but facebook/instagram is not (even thou there are a lot of research papers showing that those are socian networks worst for psychological health) we are in big problem.

Let them do their thing and let's have some space put of it.

Makes sense, thank you. I forgot that is an option, since I am using everything in full screen on tilling wm.

Here is video about it, if you want to see the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qJV34pcOaw

Poettering is like Torvalds

Lol, not even close. I am not talking about being harsh for writing stupid code. Nor I want to go 20 years back to proove it to some random person, do it yourself.

Systemd is FOSS. It can and will be forked if

Yeah, the same way chrome can be forked. No, software developed like that - in closed room just source being dropped on to community, what happened with PA and SD in the begging no one wants to touch. Gentoo had big problems just maintaing eudev and elogind to enable gnome and some other software to work.

Luckily, it is not important anymore, there is pipewire so I managed to skeep PA completely.

Keep in mind that it all started 20 years ago with Pulseaudio. Pottering was not really a nice guy (on mailing lists ofc, I don't know him personally) whose software I wanted on my machine.

Problem was never speed or even technical, problem was trust on original author and single-mindedness that they were promoting. Acting like it is the only way forward, so anyone believing in freedom part of free software was against it. Additionally, it was looking like tactics used by proprietary software companies to diminish competition.

It looked scary to some of us, and it still does, even worse is that other software started having it as hard dependency.

All of this looks like it was pushed from one place: Portering and RedHat.

While after 20 years I might have gotten a bit softer, you can imagine that 15 years ago some agresive and arogant guy who had quite a bad habbit of writing (IMHO) stupid opinions wanted to take over my init system... no, I will not let him, not for technical reasons but for principal.

I want solutions to come from community and nice people, even if they are inferior, I will not have pottering's code on my machine so no systemd and no pulseaudio for me, thank you, and for me it is an important choice to have.

Whenever I tried to move away of gentoo I have found only pain.

Looks good first few days but pretty soon I find issus I don't want to deal with. Additionally, solutions are made by much less knowledgeable users, so even solution is hard to find.

I use gentoo because it works and I know how to fix (without reinstalling).

I have mint on one desktop, it is so nice... but I use it only occasionally (for gaming and deep learning) even font rendering is not what I like.

You can try Debian Testing (or Unstable) whichever is rolling release, that's closest you will come.

A lot of people like Fedora... so, maybe...

So... shop around but you will be back, it is like going from Subaru to anything else in the same price range or cheaper. Not possible.

People in this thread look like they never mada a mistake doing something for the first time.

You are all perfect, but our admins are awful.

They also don't have experience in running this federation thing like we don't have in using it.

This is all in R&D mode, both for code and for running community.

Express your opinions, since that is the only way things can change, but have some understanding for people running the show.

Depends on what sites you are using, google sites are slower for me, others are faster.

Also looks like chrome is better at looking faster somehow, probably starts to render page sooner.

And of course: wgich extensions do you have in firefox and how old is your profile. Try it out with new, clean profile and than you will feel it.

I love Firefox and understand that making modern web browser is monumentally complex, but browser should not crash what ever some website does.

That said, my Fennec is having problem with googlw images.

I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.

Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don't think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let's make space out of it.

True, I also think lemmy is the main star of fediverse (peertube too) because they don't need network effect qnd milions of users.

Problem with reddit is it got too big l, similar like youtube, it always recommending me videos with milions of views and I don't like them - they are professionally done and trying to sell me something.

I just want to watch random people sharing their thoughts and hobbies.

Right now we don't have that part of the internet, but looks like it is comming back.
