That may be true but in practice adding friction to a given interaction makes it happen less, and that makes a big difference at scale. You don't need to prevent anyone from doing it, you need to change the dynamics that result in it happening in a group large enough to cause a problem
With the help of some replies I got it figured out
The bootloader doesn't need to support anything other than your boot partition which can be in your normal drive space, or it can be in a dedicated UEFI partition which isn't gonna be ext4, so this project aims just to support booting from the UEFI partition
Check the other replies I got if you want more context :)
Limine instead is focusing on the FAT32 file-system support and ISO9660 for boot medium storage.
That seems odd...? I'd love if anyone more knowledgable could chime in, why build a new bootloader and focus on FAT32...?
I generally associate the FAT filesystems with windows (no idea how accurate that is, probably not very), and I think most of linux is ext4 and moving towards btrfs and other newer filesystems
Windows doesn't need a bootloader, and I can't think of a time I heard of linux using FAT32, is that different in the enterprise or BSD world? What is a bootloader focused on FAT32 and ISO9660 for?
If you want to potentially sidestep some of people's frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center
You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value
As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don't see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn't great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they're accurate
I'd love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.
Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.
Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you're doing ❤️
If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I'd appreciate it, I'm not exactly sure who reports go to, so I'm not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on
When it comes to building a fediverse service there's a really delicate balance to find with making it unambiguous you're engaging with multiple services, vs creating a singular and cohesive enough user experience, and it seems like the peertube devs just learn reaaally far towards the former at the expense of the latter.
Its a bit frustrating.
Edit: I learned from another user on this thread that sepia search can be enabled by an instance as their search functionality. That definitely helps
That's fair, but I can't really speak for those people... I can only speak for me.
It kinda feels like your stance in this interaction is maybe about more than just the point that I was making, and while that'd be fair (I'm sure a lot of people have voiced their frustrations in crap ways) that would definitely explain why it's felt like you're talking past me
I don't know anything about alien.top. Are those the mirrored communities from reddit, or a different thing? If it is, I didn't even know that was your project when I mentioned them
I don't think you're really even arguing with me anymore... It sounds like everything in my first comment you also plan to do or more-or-less agree with, and you're just kinda frustrated with the broader discussion? I understand you've interacted with a lot more people than me, but I can't really speak for anyone else, and I think I've voiced my perspective/opinion in a way that was generally pretty polite and constructive
Works in brave too!
I use !gi a lot because brave image search sucks lol
