It’s nice that separate solutions exist but noone is going to understand what’s going on, what version control is, what pinning is, and so on. And even if they did, finding separate solutions for them is a pain. An all in one solution would be the best.
Only 5 hours? That’s quite fast! It took me years to configure my NixOS system. It’s not even complete yet. It would be great if there were a GUI that took care of the entire thing, could lock dependencies (no, not flakes), add it to version control with signed commits and secrets, and the configuration could be shared across devices. That’s all possible with manual labor but having that out of the box for GUI users would be amazing.
Anyway, I feel this post too much 😅
It’s up to the community to make these games go viral. Most games in my library were under 15€ on sale and I don’t think I have a single “AAA” title in there. They are just pricey, require expensive hardware and are most likely all hype. It shouldn’t have been a surprise that most players can’t afford that shit.
To me, this list is just yet another confirmation that game media like the one you mentioned is just paid and unoriginal. They ride a wave to get clicks, that’s it.
Didn’t Nintendo themselves say emulation wasn’t a problem - because they were doing it themselves?
I don’t know of another frontend. You might want to try only office instead.
And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager’s device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It’s an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business “cares” about excellence 😉
My first question is: how is Mozilla going to benefit monetarily from this, because that seems to be the only thing they actually care about.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
It was part of what made the platform shitty…
Didn’t you know that C++ programmers are better than compilers at checking code for safety though? And if they aren’t, it’s a skill issue.

Matrix itself is a protocol (like email), defined as an open standard
Please, for the love of every person on the planet, replace email with matrix. It’s about time we got rid of that damn protocol and matrix seems like the best candidate for it.
It would be great if websites started adding a “sign up with your matrix ID” option and send confirmation messages over it. In fact, what’s holding them back? Matrix has automation, doesn’t it? And websites don’t need to host their own matrix server. They can have a bot client run in the background. Besides integration with popular web frameworks, that’s all that’s missing, isn’t it?
I’m not an academic, but my experience at universities killed any desire to continue being there. From the experiences I read online, the descriptions on universities’ own websites, and what PhDs themselves have told me, it is a long investment that costs a lot of money, involves lots of free work and groveling for funding, and although it can be rewarding, it often did not result in higher paying jobs unless you were in the right country. Not to mention the publishing racket.
It’s a real pity, because I would love to spend my days learning, building stuff, documenting everything, and helping humanity progress on minuscule step at a time, but the system seems quite fucked. Education is the engine of every civilisation and for some reason, we just cannot seem to understand that as a whole.
I don’t want windows to disappear. I want it to admit defeat by slowly migrating towards a linux kernel.
Alpine and NixOS are lonely? Nani?
My point exactly. How do you function in life if choice is too much for you to comprehend? Maybe people just need a website called Lemmy.org that redirects them to a random approved server and that’s it. “UX” problem solved.
If selecting a server is too much, then directing them to a random on that fits their criteria should solve the problem. Which joinlemmy, joinmastodon, joinoixelfed, and so on do.
If even that is too much, then I’m totally fine without those people as I question what kind of stuff they’ll be saying.
And this isn’t even elitist. It’s not “you have to have the ActivityPub spec memorised” or even know what ActivityPub is. It’s like “which email host should I pick”. No deeper than that.
If Facebook and Apple have eroded people’s brains to the point where such a simple question cannot be answered without freaking out, then we’re in trouble.
What’s there to understand? Does the average person understand that reddit consists of a frontend written in a frontend framework that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JS? Do they understand that HTTPS is used to make the request between the client and server on port 443? Do they know that the request is processed by a back end connecting to postgresql and redis or memcache for faster responses? That most assets are probably delivered by a CDN?
Probably not. And why should they? They don’t need to understand how the fediverse works, nor do they have to understand how email works. All they need to do is select a server, create an account, and start interacting. Same as email.
There’s no mystery. The fediverse isn’t complicated unless you freak out and start realising that the entire internet is more complicated than the shiny, glossy thing on top of it - which doesn’t need to be understood to have simple interactions with.
Honestly, if picking a server is too difficult, how have you survived this long? It’s literally like picking an email host. That’s the UX people are complaining about. How far have we fallen that making a choice is now a problem? “Pick what you like” leads to people going “OMG, this is terrible, I have to make my own decisions😭😭” No wonder people love AI, because they can’t think for themselves.
The only improvement would be setting a default or giving them themes to choose from which they are interested in and selecting a server for them based on that.
Only one I found mentioning European on alternative to.net was N-26? Maybe try that one out?
European-alternatives.eu doesn’t have a “banking” category).
