I use the XFCE version, it’s around 400 MB idle, fluxbox should be even less I think.

Good job!

I work for a big enterprise, we have RHEL on all our Linux servers save for a few that are SuSe for SAP.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they’re not innocent at all?

Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?

No, but it’s highly unlikely since before it’s been buttered it doesn’t know yet which side to fall upon.

I was thinking the same, especially after seeing several posts “demanding” Lemmy to change this and change that.

I mean, that’s not to say there’s no room for improvements, but if the first thing some people do when going to a new platform is wanting changes to meet their personal way of doing things, instead to try and adapt first to how the platform works and learn from it, in my opinion it means those people are not really interested in being here and make lemmy succeed, they’re just following the “flavor of the month” and won’t last long here anyway.

I think the fediverse being not so intuitive might be a very good thing actually, it can act as a sort of filter so it doesn’t succumb to the masses ruining everything, hopefully.

It’s most probably IBM forcing it, but yeah it’s dumb.

You can also add your personal text in a text box when you create link posts, another thing you can’t do in reddit.

Ooh they changed them :O What …

As I understand it, API charges are for everyone, Apollo for example showed the app is within the limits, I think other app devs did the same.

While not wanting their data to be scraped for AI for free is indeed a valid reason, if it was the real reason they would have come up with different tiers of pricing like every other paid platform does.

Edit: Apollo was within the limits, but reddit changed the rules apparently …

I answered the one asking what happened.

Anyway, I get it’s temporary, I’m not a mod but if they say better tools are needed, I believe them.

better moderation of the offending instances.

What does that mean?

Do they expect lemmy.world admins to police 25K people across 700+ servers? I don’t think that’s how it works.

Or do they mean that they reported harassers to our admins and they didn’t do anything about it?

Apparently some idiots from here think it’s fun coordinating a troll-attack on them and they don’t have enough mod power to deal with it, so they removed their connections with us and sh.itjust.works.

Try this: go into your user settings, change Type from Local to Subscribed and Sort type from Active to Hot (or New if you prefer that).

Then click on Communities on the top bar, switch the list from Local to All, and find communities you’re interested in, you can also search for specific names.

Avoid names ending in @beehaw.org if you see them, they defederated us so we can’t interact with them anymore.

When you find something you like, click on the community name to go to their page, on the right you’ll find the Subscribe button.

After you subscribed to enough communities, close lemmy and open it again, see if it’s better that way (it is for me).

Fantastic news! thanks

beware NVIDIA tho:

However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.

I believe it’s a bait.

Over at r/ModCoord they say they held a private call with some developers, none of the 3rd party apps devs were invited apparently.

There’s a sticky post containing full notes of the call (I don’t know if it’s ok to link reddit here so I won’t), their promises are really vague, “promising” to let some apps use the API for free is only one of them, they’re offering to postpone the API changes if mods don’t close the subs, and they’re making a lot of excuses for their very lacking tools, “promising” they’ll do better this time.

If we consider they’re going public later this year, it makes sense they’re trying to damage control as much as possible so the protest doesn’t ruin their IPO, while actually having no intention to follow up on their words.

If magazines start picking up on their empty words, like the article you linked, it could appear redditors are protesting for nothing, that would be really sad.
