  • And KDE devs will stop assuming they know better than their users…

    What kills me is that even the “official” clients (Element, and Element X) are not full-featured. What kills me even more is that Element X (the official “new” app and the “replacement” for Element) supports some additional features over Element, but not all - as in, some things are not possible in it, but are possible in Element.

    It’s like it’s run by an insane asylum…


  • When it comes to Matrix, I have trouble making the parallel. Maybe because of the terminology?

    It’s almost identical on Matrix, although many clients make it hard to distinguish things. For example, Fluffy Chat (and the “official” Element too, I think?) show both Servers AND their Rooms on your “all chats list”, making finding things confusing.

    Check out Commet, it structures things exactly like Discord, so you’ll clearly see what’s a server, what’s a room on that server, etc.


  • It’s cool that it “supports threads”, but - as so many other clients - it forgets to actually expose threads! As in: once the initial comment starting a thread slides up in the chat, the only way to access the thread is to scroll all the way up there again.

    Fake edit: OK, Commet shows all threads if you type “thread” in search. Still, having a button to do just that would be infinitely better.

    Also: no support for polls? :(

    If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro’s name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless.

    Maybe try re-reading what I wrote?

    The standard is “assuming using a specific distro’s name makes them better somehow”, because you think that someone could be ashamed of admitting what distro they’re actually using.

    This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you’re on cachyOS?

    Again, re-read what I wrote. I didn’t say “troubleshooting”, I said “troubleshooting packages”. CachyOS uses pacman, and Cachy users install stuff from AUR exactly the same as Arch-Arch users.

    You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

    If this place used Reddit’s infrastructure, and was essentially a skin with a couple of extensions added on top, and if you were discussing generic social-media themes, yeah, it wouldn’t be a problem to call it Reddit.

    But since Lemmy is none of that, it would make no sense, it’s fundamentally different.

    It means they are ashamed of the distro they run.

    See? You are being elitist. Your first thought is that they hope to elevate themselves somehow by saying they use Arch.

    When they might just not be bothered (or don’t know) to say “Arch-based”. Because ultimately, there’s no difference. When you’re troubleshooting packages, or whatever, there’s no functional difference between saying “It’s Arch” and “It’s WhateverTheFuck OS (Arch-based)”. The latter just takes more time to type out.

    If you want to go around telling people you use arch

    See this? You think people go around telling other what distro they’re using. You are elitist. It’s just an OS, bro.


  • I think you just need to stop being elitist about it.

    Who cares? Honestly - who cares how someone installed their OS? We should be doing everything to get people to switch to Linux (of any flavour), but instead dudes like you go “oh, you have XYZ OS? Well, that’s not really Arch, is it?” What even is the point?



  • US and UK weren’t one country. US was a UK colony

    Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

    that’s why they celebrate independence day

    Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

    The only reason Ukraine and Taiwan want to separate from Russia and China respectively is because of American interference

    Nobody gave a shit about Americans in Ukraine when the Orange Revolution happened, or during the Maidan Protests. They just wanted democracy and re-integration with the West.

    One more time: Ukraine was an independent country around 400 years before Muscovy (proto-russia) became a thing. It got gobbled up by the various superpowers of the area, but always retained its national identity. Culturally, there’s a very clear continuation from the Kyivan Rus all the way to modern day Ukraine.

    You might as well suggest that the Scottish independence movements exist because of “American interference”, even though they existed for hundreds of years before the American Independence.

    You’re just repeating russian propaganda points verbatim, so I don’t know if you’re this ignorant, or a russian bot. If it’s ignorance, feel free to ask questions, I know lots of people are super confused with what’s going on in Ukraine and that area due to russian disinformation campaigns.
