My 2nd hand laptop seller had the decency to crack the preloaded software before selling it to me. His remote access tool wasn't too resource-intense either.
“we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”
ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone’s knowledge and consent first isn’t totally insane and like a certain other platform we left from
It’ll definitely be better than Reddit. Reddit has honestly gotten pretty terrible in the last few years. Fediverse may have its flaws but it’s still better than what Reddit has become (and ultimately what Reddit’s for-profit wannabes will become).
They’re already on the fediverse. Tens of thousands of people on thousands of servers saying things that make libsoftiktok and gaysagainstgrooming look like woke hippies.
The thing is, unlike big tech which wants you to see things that piss you off because it drives engagement and will actively put you in that situation, for the most part people tend to stick together in groups. You’ll get the odd troll looking for a thrill, but overall there isn’t an algorithm doing the Jerry Springer thing so other than a cheap thrill there’s no point to it.
Algorithms end up being really sneaky in that regard.
I don’t know how you all manage to have so much trouble. The only issue of note I’ve had with nVidia is the machine not hibernating by itself. Apart from that, it’s always worked without much fuss for the last fifteen years (not sure what I used before that).
My Nvidia card is rock solid under Wayland. As long as I’m not running something needing 3d acceleration. Using it with 3d acceleration I have to be very careful. If the viewport moves too fast etc. Nvidia just shits the bed. Then I have to drop to terminal and reset my desktop session quickly before it hard locks the system. It’s very annoying and reproducible. So much so that I’m replacing a 1650 with a 6400 with less vram.
Same here. I keep shaking my head in disbelief when I read all this “you need this custom niche distro if you want nvidia without problems” posts, and then look at my totally uncustomized Debian Stable PC, on which I’ve been playing modern games for many years now. :)
Really, the only trouble I’ve had was not Nvidia related at all - in the very beginning when Steam Linux client was released, Debian had too old glibc, and I had to resort to LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD tricks with glibc snatched from an Ubuntu package. But next Debian release fixed even that, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.
The handwriting and grammar was perfect. I assume it was an English homework for the student in Hong Kong or Taiwan? (The character was in traditional style which is mainly used by Hong Konger and Taiwanese.)
Or he’s just getting really into the persona of an 1870s immigrant, who would have been using traditional characters anyway! Such attention to detail :D
I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?
This is correct. Anyone can start a community on any Lemmy (Or KBin) server, and they can name it whatever they want. When a community is on a remote Lemmy instance, you see the @<instancename> suffix to help you see which one it is referring to. When no @<instancename> suffix is shown, that means that the community you are looking at is hosted on the instance that you are currently viewing Lemmy content through.
but it isn’t the same communitiy. it’s a completely different community on a different server, only with the same name. (and an omitted server name means it’s on the one you’re currently at.)
So is the idea that a community coalesces to a winner-takes-all single server, or is there a way to… uh … federate (?) … same-theme communities from different servers?
they are federated. you cannot only see all those communities, despite them being on various different servers, you can join and access all of them from each and every server. And the content gets sent through the network. As a user you can practically ignore the server part of a community. In this case it is important, in order to distinguish those communities because people created the community with the same name multiple times on multiple servers.
