They had another redesign this year too as well, to try to make it more “discord-y” that’s currently in beta I believe.

Though I do think they’re a little too late…

Can confirm, I can use Boost for Reddit on my main account which is a moderator for a sub, but my second account which has no moderation abilities “breaks” the app until I switch back.

For me, my crime was trying to use Wayland with an Nvidia card before the explicit sync support was added in.

I always find the command line argument to be a bit of an odd thing too. If you Google any weird Windows error, I can almost guarantee you will find a Microsoft forums result with someone saying to run sfc /scannow (or a DISM command).

What I think it really comes down to is that people are used to troubleshooting Windows stuff that they forget they’re having to do it. Then some will say that “Windows doesn’t need troubleshooting” which is pure crap unless maybe all you do is login and open Chrome - which Linux can do that perfectly fine too.

At the end of the day, I don’t really care all that much about what OS other people use (use the best tool for the job and all that). I’m not going to be using their PC, but I do get a bit aggravated when people seem to go out of their way to make it look like Linux is still the same ecosystem it was in the '00s.

I can only speak for myself here but… A lot of things are taught in school. Most of them weren’t something that I use everyday and thus have forgotten about it (some more than others, of course).

Ohm’s Law would’ve been taught to me sometime during highschool (as the other commenter mentioned, I can tell you it relates to electricity but without looking it up I couldn’t tell you the actual principle behind it) - I graduated from highschool 10 years ago, and have not had a reason to “flex” that memory ever since then.

Relay for Reddit (Android) is still going it seems.

Ah, I thought this was in regards to AFK tracking when discord isn’t focused (which this plugin still won’t fix due to the mentioned Wayland restrictions) - I didn’t realize that it still didn’t work even when discord was focused, which is strange.

I’ve been using Vesktop since screen share wasn’t working on Wayland, and it already seems to do what this plugin does hence my confusion.

I’m not sure if this is actually possible - as far as I know, applications can’t track key presses/mouse movement when their associated window isn’t in focus. It’d be great if they just gave the option to disable the AFK detection since it doesn’t work…

Definitely not, I’d say the thing you need the most is the will to learn - as there are differences of course, but being willing to learn new things will go a long way.

Unfortunately like you said, family members can do so of their own accord which is exactly what one of mine did, despite my warnings of such.

It’s completely impossible for me to “un-ring” that bell now, so to speak.

I don’t do a lot of native development (I’m primarily a Java guy) so I can’t vouch for it however upon a quick search Seer looks like an interesting GDB GUI.

With those however, they never ran on Linux. This situation is different because it did run. I’ve only used Zoom once, so no clue if it worked excellently or if it was “meh”, but it sounds like it did the job before.

Regardless, it doesn’t matter if Zoom hasn’t updated their Electron to account for the Wayland changes - all people will see is that it doesn’t (or did, but no longer) works on Linux and will blame Linux instead.

Which, that is fine if we want Linux to always be a hobbyist operating system. However if we want Linux to be more accessible to people then unfortunately the ball is in our court to try to not break something as simple (or rather, what most regular users would define as simple) as this.

That makes perfect sense, thanks! Seems like I was certainly onto something then. Part of me wishes that I had gone into this field as its very intriguing - perhaps in another life!

It’s a bit difficult to say, but perhaps we did in say, maybe through the repetition of flashing images from our memory, or sounds, etc.

Even without language, that internal “making sense” of things / interpreting the world around us still exists - I’d imagine if you were to ask someone who was deaf (starting at a very early age) they’d probably say there is a monologue of some sorts, even if not by “sound”, whether that be the flashing images of various hand signs, or written words, etc.

I’m by no means a medical expert, so just a stab in the dark here - our brains constantly process all sorts of information. Whether that’s memories, input from your various senses, or a million other things. During that process, your brain is also trying to make sense of it all (“Why?”, “What does it mean”, “How?”, etc).

Our ability to communicate and express language is intertwined in this process, which of course is what gives you the perception of dialog. So in essence, I think its just our brains trying to make sense of… its process of making sense, if that makes sense?

On a side note, I’m practically dosing myself with semantic satiation with how many times I’ve used “sense” here (that last one being more tongue-in-cheek)…

My experience with Nvidia+ Wayland was… Less than desirable. Enough to make me pickup an AMD card.

However, once I did that my experience instantly better. Hell, even X11 worked better - I was never able to get the desktop to stay at a consistent 60FPS (I’m still on a 60Hz panel which I’m just now getting around to upgrading shortly) in X until I moved to my AMD card.

The 545 driver update just made things so much worse. So I’d say Wayland+Nvidia is not great (for others it works fine so maybe it’s down to what card you have?) however on my AMD card (and my old MacBook with Intel integrated graphics) it’s fantastic.

ActivityPub does use cryptographic keys for Actors (“users” in this case) - so even in theory if you were to destroy your instance and then set it up on the same domain and recreate the user, things would be quite broken still… But unfortunately it still does rely on the domain name itself, so I agree.

I think the problem is, without the domain name, there is no way for you to lookup who @russjr08 would be, or where to send data to them. The domain effectively acts as a mailing address (a well suited analogy considering that ActivityPub also uses inboxes/outboxes) so that Instance A always knows that User B can be found on Instance B.

I doubt its an impossible challenge to solve, but probably quite a difficult one I’m sure.

They have access to your password hash, effectively the “infrastructure” admin(s) as I’ll call it (not admins of the site - they need to have access to the actual system that is running the instance) have access to the same things that infrastructure admins of another site would have.

Lemmy should implement proper post deletion, possibly with a delay to allow moderators and admins to inspect deleted posts, but expect anything you share via ActivityPub to follow the once on the internet, always on the internet rule even more than in the past.

How would this be done? Like you mentioned, anyone can run a modified instance of Lemmy that does not honor delete requests. I suppose you could put something that retrieves content from other servers as a pull operation instead of a push, but that’s going to break Lemmy’s ability to work with other ActivityPub applications (at the very least).

Yeah, AFAIK ActivityPub itself heavily relies on the domain being part of your identity - so its not really possible to change the domain on any of them, along with other federation implementations such as Matrix.

This is why while Mastodon allows for profile transfers, it doesn’t transfer your post content - it simply just sends a signal to your followers to unfollow your old account and follow your new one. The actual content itself is intrinsically tied to your identity on the old domain.
