Anymore? I’ve literally never used it. Refused to, even.

Eh, I don’t at flatpak or snap unless I have no other choice, but i get why it would be annoying to have the delay.

That being said, I wouldn’t be concerned until almost a month. It’s a big update that’s going to need more debugging than usual. Makes sense to hold back for a bit.

Is now the right time to switch to Linux?

Experience: I have a bit of experience with Linux. I started around 2008, distro-hopped weekly, decided on Debian until around 2011, when I switched to Windows as I started getting interested in gaming. Tried switching back around 2015, this time using Arch Linux for about a month, but had some bad experiences with gaming and...

Once you get it set up, all the anxiety goes away.

Back your shit up, and do it. Games that can’t be played on Linux at all are decreasing. A dual boot setup solves that problem entirely.

Yeah, proton can take a bit to get set up and running, but there’s plenty of help for it out there with a search. And, again, you’ll still have the dual boot option. Linux really does cut down on the bullshit.

This is the kind of thing riots should come from.

No, you cannot complain about complainers complaining about complainers complaining. That’s too far!

Being real? Sponsor ads in video are fine by me. It’s no different than tv and radio did for ages. The individual vidiots hawking whoever sponsers them just isn’t an issue. It’s as easy the tune out as radio spots used to be.

If YouTube’s direct ads weren’t fucking obnoxious, I wouldn’t even object to those, but they crossed into obnoxious a decade ago with those.

It’s the freaking combined wall of ads that happens when it’s all together that is infuriating. You’ve got ads before a video, during, it, after it, splashed new below and beside it. It’s just crap, and gods forbid you misclick and go back, it starts all over again.

Multiling0

It’s a very customizable keyboard. Which means that you can duplicate the layout you’re used to from most others, as long as you have the patience. Alas, you have to have the patience lol.

Yeah, this never works out.

Multiples of the same basic community is a good thing. It was good on reddit, and it’s part of the entire benefit of federation. The only difference is that, here, the displayed names can be exactly the same because the C/ always comes with an @ as well.

While it would be nice if location based communities had an agreed on standard, good luck getting consensus between even the five biggest instances and all of those C/s. It would be a herculean task. And, it still wouldn’t stop anyone else from just ignoring the consensus.

Have you tried megalodon? Does more than the official app, but with a similar layout so the learning curve is a non issue.

Nah, you can export raindrop stuff. Or could, I haven’t done it in a while because it syncs. They may have changed things though.

YSK That if you delete your lemmy account, your comments/posts made on other instances will remain there forever.

So say I make an account on lemmy.world and post a bunch of stupid comments around other instances then decide to delete my account because I’m ashamed of them. After I delete my account, a copy of all those comments I made on other instances remain on those instances as a “shadow copy.” There isn’t any way to actually...

That’s true.

But, everyone should be working from the assumption that whatever they put on the internet is there forever anyway.
