I’d assume that would be part of it, yeah. But that may indeed be a faulty assumption. Anyway, achievements don’t work without a client even if they’re native Linux titles.

Can’t say that you’re wrong …

TBH the only reason I even want a launcher is that game achievements require it. AFAIK this is possible with other launchers like Heroic, but I never bothered setting it up for the GOG games I do own.

I’ll believe it when I see a Linux version of their Galaxy client.

Unfortunately for newbies and GUI tool developers, I rarely use GUI tools and thus don’t know of many. I do agree that GUI tools have better accessibility and discoverability, but they also have worse performance and are just generally more work to make and thus many developers of enthusiast tools skip the GUI.

The complete non-sequitur link really makes it. chef’s kiss

Damn, lol

I do understand being rigorous about questions, and technical forums were even worse a lot of the time, but SO’s methods led to the site becoming severely outdated. They really should have introduced a mechanism to mark old content as outdated. It should have been obvious like 10 years ago that solutions often stop working come next major version of the programming language, framework or operating system.

TBH asking questions on SO (and most similar platforms) fucking sucks, no surprise that users jump at the first opportunity at getting answers another way.

How does AI actually improve their financial position? Who pays them to use AI?

I probably would, if the organizational structure and its spending focus(es) weren’t so fucked up. They have been spending insane amounts of money on bullshit like AI instead of core browser features, and their leadership has extremely high wages for something that should be a non-profit open source organization. And it has been like this for years at this point.

The main dev is also an admin on lemmy.ml. There would probably be more instances that defederate lemmy.ml if it weren’t for that, and the way that account-level blocking is implemented isn’t really that great.

Servers cost money to run, many lemmy servers have set up a way to donate for server costs.

You can try to post about lemmy on other platforms, but be aware that that carries a risk of getting banned.

Normally I’d also recommend supporting the devs, but fuck tankies. I plan to switch to Piefed because of that, since it’s obviously hypocritical to keep using a standard Lemmy server when you dislike the devs so much.

Pretty much, yes. It also used to be lighter in resource use than GNOME, though IDK if that’s still true. XFCE and LXQt are definitely lighter than both Gnome and Plasma, they are a lot more stable in the sense that they don’t change that much from release to release, and they play nice with third party window managers (e.g. tiling WMs).

I’d have to change desktop environments, because my current one only has “experimental” support in the latest version, and my distro is years behind, anyway. Your choices are pretty much KDE, Gnome or building your own desktop with a standalone window manager, and I don’t like any of those options.

I just don’t want to switch out my window manager and all the helper programs that make it work as a full desktop. Currently I just use LXQt+i3wm, and LXQt will take quite a while until it’s anywhere near feature parity with Wayland, and AFAIK i3wm doesn’t even have plans for a Wayland port (though I know that there’s decently similar tiling WMs for Wayland). I don’t think any of the oldschool low-resource-intensity desktop environments I’d consider using have a decently feature-complete Wayland port right now.

It’s possible that it’s not actually that much work to cobble together a new configuration with a Wayland-compatible tiling WM and a bunch of separate applications for screenshots, clipboard management etc., but I currently don’t care to find out.

There was a reddit sub called r/196. It’s kind of free-form, but the community is definitely LGBT+-friendly (as is the whole blahaj server) and has a lot of queer-themed memes.

!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is pretty good
