Good riddance, it was Halo in name only. That trash won’t be missed one bit by anyone.

Dunno but he sure looks salty while playing it off that he’s having a good time being there.

There are rare instances where people don’t hate and despise their job and bosses. Rare, but in your case, it does happen. For the vast majority of us we’d afford nutritious food, get in to see a medical professional, and afford a home…while loud-quitting and telling the boss to fuck himself.

Only if beancounters and investors start making administrative decisions.

After seeing other potential alternatives, then seeing how LW and a few other instances took off, credit really goes to protocol devs, fediverse devs/admins, and LW is a standout for the praise you just mentioned as well. It’s a culmination of so many things going right to make such a diverse and expansive community. We’re already seeing the tech question help phenomena that Reddit has right here on LW, where some search engine queries can be magically made better by appending lemmy.

Let the migration continue! I haven’t missed Reddit since coming here.

Just be born rich, and use Daddy’s money to start a business. It’s so easy, anyone can do it.

The KDE guys have been on fire for the past two years. Between their theming, color selection, and session handling they’ve come a long ways. They’ve also implemented some gnome-only features such as the overview, albeit in a very optional way. As opposed to eliminating a panel and forcing you to use the overview to see what applications or windows you have open, or available to launch, it’s just a window management tool instead of a UX paradigm.

Their wayland session is stable and also deals with xwayland in a very different way. If you set a custom scaling factor, the QT apps and GTK apps are talked to in a way that makes the same scaling factor consistent across all your applications, even under a wayland session with xwayland. The Gnome devs hand-wring about how the world has to be perfect before implementing an idea, where the KDE devs try something and then iterate if it’s successful.

• Calling the Arch Wiki contributor’s clowns
• The public tantrum with System76 because of the poor attitudes on the part of the Gnome project
• The Gnome way: stop making shell extensions and contribute to the Shell or get fucked.
• The overall attitude of the devs regarding user opinions, resulting in the plethora of extensions available, and the tone deaf attitude regarding all of them.
• The world must be perfect before we do jack shit about fractional scaling, despite people moving to HiDPI/4K monitors.

Trundle on over to KDE-land, and you find a very different tone. They’re not too proud to adopt paradigms that conflicted with core design principles if they’re widely beloved (look at Overview as a prime example). Fractional scaling is miles ahead of Gnome in functionality and performance impact, solved in both X11 and elegantly in Wayland so that xwayland apps have a hook to get correct DPI info without looking blurry. The deep customizations available have negated the need for much of their session modifications, as they rapidly adopt good ideas (floating panels anyone? Ahh yes, Plasma has got you).

They’re also extremely nimble when it comes to changing course on their backend. They went from having a buggy Wayland session to having the most stable one by far. They also take criticism far better, either taking it in stride or recognizing then they did something off-base.

Gnome can go to hell, and fuck the stupid ass GTK which is objectively inferior to QT. Redhat can nibble on my shit too for all I care.

This money would have been far better given to KDE instead of the assholes at Gnome.

You pass butter!

Oh my god…

Yeah welcome to the club

Also ran afoul with a mod. Merari01 specifically. I reported one of his comments, and he sent it up as abuse of the report button. Insta perma banned. My account was registered in 2010.

Reddit's been awful for a while though so the loss wasn't too bad.

Go outside and touch some rhododendrons.

I thought it was funny as hell, Xi does look like Winnie the Pooh, and watching Chinese tankies rage out about it makes us want to mock him some more. Oh and keep enjoying all that western money the CCP is still drunk off of after we stupidly bought all that cheap Chinesium shit.

(hope you were sitting down for that last one, but most of the West now regards Chinese export as garbage)
