been waiting on the global theme thing so I can save my weird setup and not have to rebuild it every time I switch distros (and I need a reinstall because I did something the computer said not to and have weird issues now)

thats exactly what plasma needs right now. feels like every time I read this week in plasma they just extracted it straight from my mind and fixed the things that were bugging me.

its not necessarily every single user, but the vast majority of the time when you interact with a .ml account they act insane and are assholes. it may only be a vocal minority, but the mods do nothing to stop them and on .ml communities they actively support that behavior.

you’re missing the point. in subscribed view .ml content can still appear. the point is to make it so that nothing from lemmy.ml can get through at all because the people on that instance suck to interact with.

the ux is dependent on the app or webapp (usually tied to an instance) you are using, and mbin is the same ux as Lemmy like 90% of the time. there is only one mobile app (Interstellar) but its no worse than most Lemmy apps. i think the better federation alone would be enough to make it more popular if Lemmy wasnt the only thing being recommended for threads.

yeah, as much as I hate algorithm-based social media short form content needs it. you scroll from one video to the next with no way to pick and choose which ones you interact with. normally you can just not click on a post and it gets nothing from you, but short form content does not allow that. that means the next video has to be chosen for you, and that regular feeds will not work. that mean you have to have some kind of algorithm or you will have to interact with tons of videos you have no interest in to get to one that is worth watching to you (which is the current state of loops).

mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.

I’m a little behind on this, what does goodreads have to do with bezos?

sudo dnf --help

yeah, but there’s a difference between feeling weird and being incorrect

they have half a point in that its typically only applied to people when a gender is unknown or you are referring to a group. that falls apart pretty quick though because unknown gender is barely any different from someone choosing not to identify with one. also, half a point is no good in the first place.

the best distro is the distro you like most out of the ones that work for whatever it is you do on your pc

at least it’ll be people who listen to users instead of everything being dominated by gnome and being forced to obey gnome’s insane opinions

hey jackass, the reason food farmers have a harder time making a profit than ones who make wine is because rich people pay a ton for wine as a status symbol while actively making things worse for most farmers by forcing them to sell to massive companies that dont pay them

it probably does, but it isnt considered a ‘real’ distro since it isnt suitable for non-development use (nor is it meant to be). its a very common misconception about KDE neon to think that since it’s the KDE branded one it must be the best general-purpose KDE distro.

thats why they are making KDE Linux. KDE Linux is going to be what a lot of people mistakenly take neon to be while also fulfilling the role of ‘development standard implementation/example implementation for distros to reference’ much better.

KDE neon is really only a development platform, and it is barely maintained.

i said intended to be funny. for example, the 67 meme is not funny. it is intended to be funny though, and like most new memes recently is intended to be funny mainly by referencing how it otherwise isn’t funny. theres a guy on yt shorts (I think the channel is etymologynerd or smth similar) who explains it a lot better.

there are also memes (meaning the kind intended to be funny on the internet in this case) which dont use images at all but are just a recurring reference or something like that. it is largely the same idea as the original meaning of the term but on the internet it generally refers to things that are intended to be funny (in recent years, usually through self-reference as a result of algorithm-based social media).

if you actually read the comment, I didnt say that anything was not a meme. what I said was that the person I was replying to was ignoring the other meaning of the word which, because of context, is clearly the relevant meaning in this case.

you can do exactly what you’re talking about, you just didnt bother to look it up. it is done the way it is because it is intuitive to organize things that way and it is a good way to make the actual organization of data on a storage device human readable. most people have no use for organizing things the way you are talking about 90% of the time, bit because usecases do exist where it is helpful it has always been possible to do that on linux. depending on the apps you use it may not be exposed graphically, but it can be done.
