  • I just can't get over the name change from Revolt to Stoat, but at least a stoat is cute AF.

  • What desktop operating system would you recommend to the average user?

    Jump

  • I mean sure, if they have a specific need for MacOS, but otherwise I think it's a bit disingenuous to recommend such an expensive platform.

  • It's funny to think about, because I have the exact opposite experience. I think it really comes down to the type of person though.

    Most of the people I help (with IT) is people who is not that comfortable on a tablet and would like the next step up. A cheap laptop, with bigger screen and a physical keyboard. Used for banking, writing, browsing. Nothing that really can't be done on a tablet as well.

    All of these people use Linux. Mostly Mint or ElementaryOS, depending on their preference.

    If we add gaming into the mix, it becomes a little more "complicated". This really depends on the person. I have family/friends who game on Linux, but I also know one who didn't last that long using Linux, because it simply didn't fit their needs.

  • In what way do you define “just needing a computer to use when they need it”?

    I have several family members and friends who know absolutely nothing about computers. They all use Linux and the amount of IT-support needed has never been lower.

    What's going on with the lemmy world and ML infighting

    Jump

  • My only issue with .ml that it’s pretty much lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net in disguise. They are simply not being honest about who the instance is for.

    Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have anything against any of them, but they should really just be honest who lemmy.ml is for. Just like lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net is.

    Lemmygrad.ml first rule is: No capitalist apologia / anti-communism.

    This is pretty much a hidden rule on Lemmy.ml.

    I remember a long time ago when Nutomic was hosting peertube.social. There, the rules was very honest and you knew what you signed up for in the instance. So why not just do that now as well?

    Hint: look at Dessalines modlog

  • Why Is It Harder To Move People To Open Source - Decentralized Options?

    Jump

  • People have been made used to closed gardens. Some people can’t comprehend that open gardens and free choice exists.

  • Whats the best alternative to twitch and youtube?

    Jump

  • PeerTube as an alternative to YouTube. It has both on-demand-video and live streaming.

    Owncast as an alternative to Twitch. No doubt.

  • Relaunching PeerTube.wtf

    Jump

  • Yes. An update to the latest version borked it somehow. Working on a solution.

  • [Help Design Lemmy] Joinlemmy website and New User Onboarding

    Jump

  • It should show the user an instance based on their IP, location, browser language etc. and perhaps the list of possible instances should be hardcoded.

    Then also give the user the ability to see all servers.

  • Do we need more users ?

    Jump

  • My point about “niche” is that from the current perspective, the niche communities is the more regular ones, because at the moment, the majority of users here is technical. We need more ordinary users, not just more users.

  • Do we need more users ?

    Jump

  • I do feel we need more users, but not just users. It’s “niche” users we need. There’s a lot of techies on the threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin), but not enough people who care about other stuff.

    So communities outside that, struggle to thrive.

    I don't get why they're okay with this

    Jump

  • You could actually do the same on Linux, if you paid for ZorinOS. Not sure if the support is via phone though?

  • Where do you draw the line regarding windows?

  • For the redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it just uses the video title. This sometimes results in a “false positive”, but it does work.

    You can try it with “The Linux Experiment”.

  • PeerTube suffers from a lot of defragmentation. Only a few instances federates with a lot of other instances.

    With Lemmy or Mastodon, you can almost pick any instance and still be able to federate with anyone.
