That’s why you should always search for or file a bug report before trying to create a fix.

Did she stop singing, or did she stop being french?

I can’t think of any other billionaire I’d want to be rescued by.

ACTUALLY it’s GNU/Linux (pronounced gu-noo-SLASH-li-nux). I know it’s just a “meme”, but get your facts straight buddy, this ain’t fucking le reddit.

Don’t make me have to rm -rf your ass.

Is this a “just trust me bro”, or do you have a reputable source to back up what you’re saying?

It’s a Lemmy alternative. They aim to do more or less the same thing, but are made by different people and developed independently.

But thanks to federation, Lemmy and Kbin can communicate similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate. So you can simply use the one you like best, and not worry about missing out on content posted to Lemmy.

Kbin is rough around the edges as it’s earlier in development than Lemmy, but it has more features than Lemmy, like a “microblogs” tab so that you can use it like Mastodon/Twitter if you want.

At 1:40: If your breath is ???, or you’re on a long ???

I think that’s “if your breath is mean, or you run a long thing”

Idk the others

It happened even while I was typing the above comment. Replying to you now doesn’t seem to do it, maybe because only 2 comments are visible in this view. I guess the full comment thread also tries to load new comments automatically?

Also, scrolling around sometimes abruptly loses momentum, which is very jarring on iOS.

So I’m not the only one experiencing weird jittery scrolling that jumps around on its own for no reason?

PeerTube migration time! Federate everything!!!

The other element to this is the lack of competition. Since companies funded this way don’t need to turn a profit for a long time, they can very easily kill their competitors who do need to be profitable to survive.

So when the time comes for the company to turn a profit, there are few if any competitors left to put pressure on them, giving them the power to do what they want, and leaving consumers with no other options.

Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it’s because it was recently posted when I saw it. It’s not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.

So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.

Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)

Extremely charitable guess: they want it to be open to prevent the spread of germs slightly (so nobody has to touch a door), but need the option of closing it after school hours to prevent vandalism.

I’ve been exclusively using Silverblue (well, Kinoite, which is the KDE version) as my main workstation OS for at least 8 months, and gaming on it is no different from other operating systems. Once you install Steam from Flathub, it all just works. The only difference is that you might need to give Steam permission to access your external drives if you want to add a Steam library on them. KDE Plasma lets you do it from the system settings app easily.

For generic Wine usage, I just use Lutris. Steam does allow you to add non-Steam games and run them through Proton, but IMO Lutris’ interface is easier for doing more advanced Wine stuff without having to drop into a terminal. That’s personal preference though.

As far as drivers, I didn’t have trouble installing the Nvidia driver (I have a 1080 TI). I don’t remember exactly what I did to install it system wide, since that was many months ago, but it was easy and well-documented IIRC.

What’s more complicated is getting the driver to work in graphical apps launched from toolboxes. If you’re doing development, or expect to build graphical software/games from source, you’ll likely need to deal with this. Basically, you just need to install the driver again inside of the toolbox, and make sure it’s the same version as what’s installed on your base system. I have some scripts to automate this if you’re interested, but it’s not really that useful unless you’re planning to use toolboxes a lot.

Overall, I’m very happy with Silverblue/Kinoite. The immutable base system gives me a lot of confidence on the long-term reliability of the system. Originally, I expected it to be a real blocker for most software, but the only thing I couldn’t get working was TeamViewer (didn’t try that hard tho tbh). I’ve even been able to get complex stuff to work like Unity, O3DE, Stable Diffusion webui, and a bunch of other AI-related stuff that is normally hard to install even on a regular system.

Fedora Kinoite: 9/10 – highly recommend
