  • its not necessarily every single user, but the vast majority of the time when you interact with a .ml account they act insane and are assholes. it may only be a vocal minority, but the mods do nothing to stop them and on .ml communities they actively support that behavior.

  • you're missing the point. in subscribed view .ml content can still appear. the point is to make it so that nothing from lemmy.ml can get through at all because the people on that instance suck to interact with.

  • the ux is dependent on the app or webapp (usually tied to an instance) you are using, and mbin is the same ux as Lemmy like 90% of the time. there is only one mobile app (Interstellar) but its no worse than most Lemmy apps. i think the better federation alone would be enough to make it more popular if Lemmy wasnt the only thing being recommended for threads.

  • Loops is Now on the App Store

    Jump

  • yeah, as much as I hate algorithm-based social media short form content needs it. you scroll from one video to the next with no way to pick and choose which ones you interact with. normally you can just not click on a post and it gets nothing from you, but short form content does not allow that. that means the next video has to be chosen for you, and that regular feeds will not work. that mean you have to have some kind of algorithm or you will have to interact with tons of videos you have no interest in to get to one that is worth watching to you (which is the current state of loops).

  • mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.

    Farmers

    Jump

  • hey jackass, the reason food farmers have a harder time making a profit than ones who make wine is because rich people pay a ton for wine as a status symbol while actively making things worse for most farmers by forcing them to sell to massive companies that dont pay them

  • Can you draw us a beautiful picture?

    Jump

  • looks like the rough draft of a fedora default wallpaper (in a good way)

  • People of Lemmy: would you date a single parent?

    Jump

  • no, but that is because I am very young (recent adult) and dont want to commit to raising a child. if I were at an age where it would be reasonable to have a kid I dont think I would mind as long as I like the person.

  • Do billionaires have most of their income taxed as ordinary income or capital gains?

    Jump

  • they avoid having to pay taxes by getting paid in ways that dont qualify as income and by taking out continuously bigger loans each paid off by the next, along with other such loopholes that I dont know off the top of my head

  • I'm here for memes, not snappy Xitter, 4Chan, reddit or similarly sourced screenshots of texts

    Jump

  • i said intended to be funny. for example, the 67 meme is not funny. it is intended to be funny though, and like most new memes recently is intended to be funny mainly by referencing how it otherwise isn't funny. theres a guy on yt shorts (I think the channel is etymologynerd or smth similar) who explains it a lot better.

    Jump

  • there are also memes (meaning the kind intended to be funny on the internet in this case) which dont use images at all but are just a recurring reference or something like that. it is largely the same idea as the original meaning of the term but on the internet it generally refers to things that are intended to be funny (in recent years, usually through self-reference as a result of algorithm-based social media).

    Jump

  • if you actually read the comment, I didnt say that anything was not a meme. what I said was that the person I was replying to was ignoring the other meaning of the word which, because of context, is clearly the relevant meaning in this case.

  • folders is inherently a bad idea

    Jump

  • you can do exactly what you're talking about, you just didnt bother to look it up. it is done the way it is because it is intuitive to organize things that way and it is a good way to make the actual organization of data on a storage device human readable. most people have no use for organizing things the way you are talking about 90% of the time, bit because usecases do exist where it is helpful it has always been possible to do that on linux. depending on the apps you use it may not be exposed graphically, but it can be done.

  • What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)?

    Jump

  • put weird linux distros on them and find something stupid to self-host for fun.

  • Fedora Continued At The Forefront Of Upstream Linux Innovations In 2025

    Jump

  • i think fedora is a pretty good distro. there are some things they need to work on (like their refusal to ship proprietary stuff how you'd expect and the existence of fedora flatpak) but overall I think they are a much better distro than they get credit for.

  • KDE's "This Week In Plasma" Will Become Less Frequent Without New Volunteers

  • hopefully someone steps up, its a really good resource.

  • Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.

    Jump

  • if you play Roblox (I do sometimes for nostalgia or to mess with some free nonsense with friends) sober is really good. it complains about Wayland but works perfectly.

  • Do you prefer FOSS over proprietary software? How much do you use it?

    Jump

  • ive been dailying Linux since august 2024 and plan to set up a jellyfin server and start collecting DVDs and CDs so I can own my media (plan is to rip them and stream through Jellyfin, pretty easy to do). on my computer the only proprietary things I use are steam, discord (vesktop), and Spotify. on my phone I have F-Droid but only really use HeliBoard.

    i also want to set up a nas and try self-hosting email but it'll probably be a couple years before I have the space or money to start working at any of that.
