Yes an alternative. One of a few but arguably the one with the most potential. It’s just you seemed to imply it was an intended replacement, that’s all. No sweat.

No it’s not a replacement fabricated for that purpose. It looks similar because the structure is a sensible one that makes sense for its design. It has no relationship to Reddit other than the fact that it’s a good alternative.

Yeah I know. Was just pointing it out. No big deal.

In my experience with new hardware, it’s always been Ubuntu that works it perfectly where everyone else is like “what’s that? I don’t know that hardware”

A while back I got a new laptop and the audio hardware would only work with Ubuntu which is fine because that’s what I was already using on the previous hardware. Ubuntu with KDE is a very solid setup.

Yeah, methinks this will be one of those alerts pretty much everyone will be like “yeah, yeah, I know” and click to silence those notifications.

Don’t know if you’re joking but this is not supposed to be a clone of reddit. I’m not bothered really I was just being nitpicky. I mean, of it’s all the same, may as well use the right word.

They’re called communities on Lemmy, not subs. And if there isn’t one yet, feel free to make one! This platform is young still, and needs people to start filling the void.

This stuff is truly fascinating as well as mystifying.

Yeah basically what I meant.

Yyyyeeeah, all ideally. Things don’t always go ideally. Something will always happen. That’s the truth no matter what, and I’d think it’s best to eliminate externals as much as possible. That’s my position. No actual right or wrong here.

ROFL thanks for this; gave me a good laugh 😀😃😄😃😁🤪

Hubnob?

So it’s the default. Big deal. You can change that when you start the app first time. If that gets them funding that’s not a horrible price to pay. Also, that’s not money getting influence exactly, that’s a transaction. “We will pay $x to get this status.” Not the same at all as “I donated lots of money therefore I get to say how you develop the software.”

Honestly I’ve been saying for some time that Mozilla’s resources would be much better spent making Firefox a soft fork of Chromium

No no nonononono. The moment you do that you become at the mercy if whatever they choose to do, including changes that will sabotage you. There are examples out there such as Novell, who should have made a Linux-based client OS for the Netware architecture. For the longest time prior to a brief period where they had their server GUI (sloppy, inefficient and barely completed as it was) that you literally could not do any GUI-based configurations without a Windows client. How is that not begging for the competition to screw you every chance they get?

Firefox stands on its own and that’s how it needs to be.

Everyone seems to have missed or ignored the pun. 😄 I liked it.

That’s exactly the worst way to prioritize. Money should not be influence. That always works out worse in every example in the history of everything.

What part of “untouchable” do some people still just not comprehend?

I guarantee in 4 years Trump will try to name a successor instead of holding an election.

No. He will not name a successor, he will remain president. Either he will eliminate elections or he will do like his idol, Putin. Arrest and murder anyone who dares oppose him.

He is an extreme narcissist and egotist. Like extreme extreme. He cannot see a future where he’s not on the throne.

He won the popular vote, but that’s the majority of voters, not the majority of people, right?

Right, the rest are just so lazy and consumed by apathy that they could not be bothered to vote when THESE were the stakes. I think we can confidently rule them out for any advocacy for our freedom.

He doesn’t have to. He can issue an executive order and within hours, a military regimen takes their data center.
