Which is also exactly why it will never be popular. People don’t want to have to deal with jumping around instances, dealing with the poor discoverability of the fediverse, etc. Even lemmy has that issue, I’m here because im a linux nerd so there is a decent amount of content i want here found easily but for anything else might as well be worthless.

Pivoted off a cliff with swift lmao.

I’ve unfortunately gotten tired of ironfox, some of the crap they change for “privacy” (doesn’t exist on the internet and all attempts to block things actually make you MORE identifiable) just break too many websites. After the like 30th time having to switch to nightly to make something work i just said fuck it.

They really need to be more careful about actual functionality if they want to take over as the main version of ff. Don’t get me wrong I use ublock origin, decentraleyes, clearURLs etc. But i use them for performance not privacy, blocking all the bullshit sites load to eat my battery. They work without constantly breaking basic sites unlike whatever ironfox does

Being able to hide it in net worth is the bullshit loophole, regardless of it being straight income or not having that net worth affords him the ability to get monstrously expensive things no other person could ever even dream of and he’s enjoying that life and everything in it while paying basically nothing in taxes

Boom, it happened one time so it will happen every time

!Ah, general kenobi!<

That’s my favorite thing about these images. The car is so far back even speeding it should be able to stop

So 99% of people on the road. Even when they are not looking at their phone people don’t understand what a safe following distance is. The amount of times I’ve had to try to explain to my friends that no this is not a safe following distance you are currently less than 2 seconds at your current speed from them is infuriating.

The amount of people who will go around me when I maintaining a four-second following distance because I’m not tailgating the car in front of me is equally infuriating.

Eh, heavy primer will take care if most anything with a few coats. It’s only marginally more work

I use ctrl+r to the point that for some shorter commands i probably waste more time using it vs just typing it normally

Maybe it’s Placebo but I definitely get much better quality of sleep in the winter time. I keep my room very cold and I have some nice big heavy blankets to keep me warm in the bed. And winter is by far the time of year that I regularly wake up feeling refreshed and not groggy

Depends on the content. For cooking recipes i actually prefer them. I don’t have to skip through multiple minutes of fluff. I get the ingredients, the steps, quick and easy (ofc some creators don’t give measurements in shorts but we just block those ones)

Same with looking for a new show, quick clips give me an idea if i may be interested, have found a lot of shows that way. Various hobbies also have great little intro howtodoX short videos.

But 99% of shorts are not those, and imo are worthless trash

I did this in high school, it was just a basic script that spawned a warning dialog box (the kind thats always on top) that just said you can’t close this, part of the script action was making tge task scheduler check every few seconds if the script was running… If it wasn’t then run it.

Since I was making the task scheduler do the checking it meant even if you tried to task manager force close the script it would just open again in a few seconds, it was not a permanent task it was a temporary one and every opening of the script would reset that task so basically the only way to get rid of it was to restart the computer as that would clear the task.

I mean can you really blame people? The developers have kind of gone out of their way to try and piss off literally everyone. And any attempt at criticism is called bullying and shut down

I have like five libraries, I went ahead and just tried to add another one to see if it was a regression and unfortunately I can’t reproduce. Then again I’ve always been a KDE Arch user I don’t know if that has anything to do with it maybe I just missed this bug

Yes, literally all of them are a joke. Thankfully Lenovo now offers linux

There is a single standard with no forks, I said not a single one followed. I run my own Matrix Home Server and use it frequently, there are a lot of different clients and there are a good number of them that do run their own features that are not exactly in Spec because one does not yet exist in the official spec. Stickers used to be a good example of that I remember when there were like three different clients Each of which implemented them in a different weird way until the spec finally landed on an implementation.

And even within this back there are some basic features not supported on certain clients and other such problems. I’m just saying it’s not an alternative to Discord and it will never be mainstream because it’s too confusing and frustrating from the perspective of a standard user.

Same concept that made bluesky get popular over mastodon, trying to find anything on Mastodon of interest is a chore because there’s no real Central spot to do everything the very nature of it is that it’s scattered to the winds, there’s also multiple apps available for Mobile on Mastodon Each of which have different layouts, different features, and normal people that just want to be able to find their topic of Interest can’t be bothered to deal with that

Aaaaand this touches on the problem with matrix in general, no standard is properly followed, way too many forks with feature support all over the place

Well, once the service becomes large and popular we could try to find people interested in investing into the platform, then we just need to make sure it stays interesting to more and more investors over time. Should be sustainable, sounds oddly familiar tho but i definitely just made it up rn on my own
