Gnome. Feels most polished and least cluttered to me.

It’s actually already mirrored to Codeberg, though it seems the devs haven’t pushed the changes for a couple of months.

Note that Codeberg discourages read-only mirrors though.

No, Signal announced they won’t implement interoperable messaging.

Since lemmy.ml is the instance run by the devs I guess it is actually the oldest one (dating back to the 20th of April in 2019).

and this has led to a rampant monopolisation of the init system.

You will be shocked if you find out that virtually every distro runs on the same kernel. Pure monopolisation! For the freedom to choose!

Thank you for your and the contributors' work!

Leaflet is probably the most common JS library for embedding OpenStreetMap into a website. OSM also has a wiki page regarding other options.

Would you mind sharing the results later? (I’d love to get dm’ed then)

I made the switch too earlier this year from a Samsung Galaxy S10e to an iPhone 12 and I agree to all of your points.

The only thing I liked much more on Android were the notifications. Android's notification are so much more flexible with the option to customise each different kind of notification for each app, to have silent notifications and "collapsed" ones that do not show a marker in the status bar.

Speaking of that, it is annoying that on iOS there is no indicator in the status bar if you have a notification, so that you always have to pull down to check for new ones.

Beside that, Apple ecosystem is so incredibly well integrated and in my opinions feels overall smoother than Android.

EDIT: changed tone a little bit

requires a ProtonMail account to download files

Whyyy (for compensation, I know, buy whyyy)

I recently gave it a try after seeing dessalines recommending it. It is pretty cool but years of vim muscle memory won’t go away so easily :D

It will probably be part of the next release.

iOS because Apple ecosystem is much more convenient and consistent. I do not worry so much about the struggle you mentioned because the EU will fix it (see USB-C, sideoading, more to come)

catbox.moe is quite popular as host. If you want to upload animated images directly to lemmy, they have to be in webp format (you can convert videos for example using this tool, depending on the size this will take quite some time).

Curious too. I tried running bcachefs last year and with the combination of compression and encryption everything ended up corrupted very very fast.

I think one reason is the large number of German users on the Internet. With around 100 million speakers, German is the second most spoken native language in the West after English.

According to the application texts, many users seem to come from various podcasts. We are also "endorsed" by one of the largest German-language subreddits on its front page (r/ich_iel). Our users have also started to watermark their memes, which occasionally attracts new users. Feddit also made it into an article in a popular IT magazine (heise).

Fedora is a great distro for development (used by Torvalds himself ;-).

If RAM is a problem you could try using ZRAM. Unlike the name suggests, this compresses data in RAM instead of swapping to disk, so that more data fits in there than normally available. Fedora for example uses zswapzram by default with a value of max(0.5*RAM, 4GB) but can be configured to utilise more.

EDIT: confused zswap and zram

As a side note, OP's instance does not allow new communities.

Deezer or Apple Music come to my mind. Never witnessed any ads there.

Honestly, depends on you GPU and the game. Nvidia has been quite reluctant with their Wayland support for a while, while AMD is often pretty even. Here are some benchmarks from early 2023. However, recently there were some improvements for XWayland which may improve performance significantly (there was a post on Lemmy just today or yesterday).

If you use a distro/DE that install both by default (like Ubuntu) I'd recommend to just test it and then decide for your case.

Can't wait to see it in action ;-)

Is lemmy.ml closed to new communities?

Yes. You have to choose a different instance for new communities.

Gnome Boxes is also great for simple stuff on Linux. Besides there is virt-manager as GUI for libvirt. On macOS UTM is a good free and open source tool.

I’ve never tried it myself but Grist looks like it could fit your needs.

Using a different Proton Version

Have you tried turning off Proton compatibility layer? Afaik CSGO runs natively on Linux

Yes they do. Microcontrollers contain a microprocessor that is optimized for branching instructions and already include memory and peripheral interfaces which are connected directly to the processor bus (opposed to general purpose CPUs).

(maybe the python version helps convince a few people it isn’t malware?)

A screencap on peertube would convince me it does not blow my ears off.

Not at all. These days I just use random words when I sign up for new services.

I used to have a 'consistent' online identity, but at some point I decided I didn't want others to be able to make connections between them.

I don’t feel like this is true anymore. Many distros do not ship vi(m) anymore but only nano.

It was a known bug, I assume it is fixed now that Linus merged it.

OK buddy Catra

Also if there is a better place to ask this, please let me know.

I recently learned there is !lemmydev@lemm.ee

For now I don’t think it makes sense to federate large media like videos. The storage costs are just too high to replicate this data all over the place.

Luckily, media isn't federated but only stored where it was uploaded ^^

It really is. Check this out:
