Using a Chrome user agent in FF can result in broken video / audio playback on various sites.

“You’re just a tiny minority, most people like the change”

They did the same shit with their redesign with their idiotic floating tabs. They look ugly and they even take up way more space, while displaying less information, for literally no reason. They argued the need this change for future FF features, which yet, several years later, have yet to appear. Here’s a quote from “Paul”, one of their moderators - almost 3 years ago:

Hi,

We bring a modernized and differentiated look to tabs since Firefox 89 in order to create a signature Firefox look and experience. This major redesign will help us enable more use cases and features in the future.

I love Firefox and will continue to use it, but its decline is a mixture of Google’s aggressive embrace, extend, and extinguish approach and straight up continued mismanagement of the Mozilla Corporation.

That’s bullshit and you know it. Lemmy.ml is blocked by almost no one. I also see hexbear and Lemmygrad when I sort by New.

Well, Reddit was open source once as well. Neither going closed source nor all the various scandals, including the last big protest, did a whole lot in changing anything at all.

The fact that the Lemmy devs, who also host Lemmygrad & Lemmy.ml, are Tankies.

Mate, that subreddit is dead because the few upvotes here are from people who came from there. So of course there aren’t a whole lot of people on that sub anymore - but that’s not indicative of the state of Reddit as a whole, especially compared to the fediverse.

Kbin, on the other hand, has too many issues.

No offense to Kbin’s developer Ernest, who is working hard, but Kbin is still in alpha stage, and it often has server errors (in fact, kbin.social is down right now, and it has been for the whole day), and the userbase and engagement are far behind Lemmy. There are also federation problems between Kbin and Lemmy sometimes. Kbin is also trying to be a more all-in-one product, with both microblogging and forums, and the users there like to have both, which is fine, but Reddit users are mostly forum users and they seem to prefer Lemmy more.

It was not fully down and this completely ignores the issues that Lemmy had when they updated to the next version a while back. Really unnecessary bashing.

But I realized later that this was a misunderstanding on my part, and that this is not an issue as long as the project is open source, with an open development, and as long as you avoid instances like lemmygrad.

Totally not suspicious, but at the minimum a bit ignorant on how open source software development typically goes. And it isn’t just Lemmygrad, but even their allegedly more moderate main instance Lemmy.ml, which is really just more of the same as far as users and moderation issues go. More problematic is the fact though that you’re still supporting the devs and their problematic views simply by supporting their software and its development by directly using it, and this won’t change until a proper fork from actually decent people is going to become the main used Lemmy software.

And overall, no one won this, because the whole protest was a failure as way too many people just remained on Reddit.

I’d vote for Project Zomboid but that wasn’t even nominated. Steam Awards are just a joke / popularity contest.

I made a post about my Gnome experiences already, which were just terrible due to how unstable the apps were and how it lacked a ton of even very basic features that I needed. So if their Wayland support is better, it’s completely overshadowed by how shitty everything else is.

Most of the issues were a year or two ago, but I every now and then switched to Wayland to see if things got better and returned to X within like hours due to issues just around the “desktop”.

I’m on AMD and had so many issues with Wayland. A lot of games were straight up unplayable due to the amount of issues and some other applications straight up not compatible while scaling is also still a freaking mess. Saying Wayland has been working perfectly for years just feels like clownery and is kinda insulting to everyone who experiences those problems.

It’s like “jaywalking”. It purely exists to bully and discriminate against pedestrians and declare the streets belong to the cars. That’s what you get when you have big ass corporations do the lobbying.

Sometimes I see the rare post when I sort by Newest but it almost feels like kbin is giving 18+ submissions a low priority or something. Meanwhile when I check through my Beehaw account I see a lot of it, relatively speaking. Definitely far more than on kbin.

That’s not really a thing for most people but probably a broken mod or save file, or there’s something really wrong with your setup.

That was the only appealing thing. The cartoon look and oversized single units not so much. It looked like a mobile game for little children.

I really can’t afford Paradox titles. Already tried with Cities Skylines and Stellaris and failed miserably. It’s just too much.

We got a very different game then what Will Wright was originally showing in 2005 anyway, which looked way more interesting of a direction than the actual game.

But I’m done with EA since Origin, which was the last straw of bullshit I could take.

I look forward to Ara: History Untold. Seems to be the most promising 4X of this type.

I don’t think there are any real rules like that. This whole meme is just like boomers saying back then everything was better and the right way to do things.

DDG doesn’t use its chatbot though, which also still is blocking all VPN traffic.

One of the many reason I don’t buy too much into the hype. The internet is generally a bad data source because of how much nonsense there is. And those “AIs” are still nothing but glorified chatbots like Cleverbot, just with a better data set to pull from. In the end they still very quickly fail and talk complete bs. Not to say they cannot be helpful or fun but people really need to be mindful about it. As always, don’t trust every little shit that’s on the internet, and that includes chatbot outputs too.
