Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed… I’m not going to copy-paste the article, it’s all relevant info.

Honestly you should just stick to Fedora.

Why?

Who said anything about Linux becoming Windows?

Dunno, but I suppose you can use piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=98kFh3JpIXk

I was coming to comment this. I’ve used a lot of free video editing software over the years and most of them are ass. The ones that aren’t usually have a catch like watermarking your output. Davinci resolve came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, it’s everything you could want in a video editing program but free!

You should give it a shot, it’s pretty fun and West of Loathing isn’t that long to finish.

There’s a Github issue specifically for this

West of Loathing and its sequel Shadows of Loathing have a bland grayscale artstyle on the outside but they’re absolutely hilarious RPGs that have a lot of heart to them.

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

Oh come on, the art style is charming!

I’m more of a Charlie Teh Unicron fan

Dear god, I expected old memes but this is super vintage I don’t think most people would even know this

Could you mention what apps you needed to run?

I don’t remember which they were exactly but some Adobe products were some of them. Specifically Illustrator.

Also, fractional scaling has been improved a lot in Gnome and KDE, afaik.

I hope so. I’ve last been on Linux like ~2 years ago and I’ve heard some good changes.

A few apps I needed didn’t work on Linux without a hassle and a lot of games I play with friends only run on Windows. I also found a lot of things were kind of a hassle on Linux, especially screen scaling. Fractional screen scaling straight up barely works and everything on my laptop screen was usually tiny.

I would totally go back when the experience is a bit nicer, I’m pretty frustrated with Windows. I think the Linux desktop experience isn’t totally ready imo.

No Schweppes? For shame.

Also, cheers to my milk tea brethren.

Mods are awake, post Lemmings

Reddit had ways to automatically catch people trying to manipulate votes though, at least the obvious ones. A friend of mine posted a reddit link for everyone to upvote on our group and got temporarily suspended for vote manipulation like an hour later. I don’t know if something like that can be implemented in the Fediverse but some people on github suggested a way for instances to share to other instances how trusted/distrusted a user or instance is.

Don’t know if it counts but I hate my alarm so much that I sometimes wake up 1 minute before it triggers.
