Applied couple of jobs, finger cross can progress some of them to next stage.

Happy vote week(s) everyone

No worries, we’ll make noise here if any of them goes down. Doubt these 3rd party frontends will have significant impact to the community, if they ever go down :)

This is awesome, thanks @Dave@lemmy.nz ! I need that infinite scroll for my doom scrolling Will ping the rest of the frontend and update you if they are broke.

Hey uhh - any possibility to have Alexandrite setup here?

Lemmy has a strong bias towards Linux. I wouldn’t say Linux is a failed desktop OS (but hey look at the marketshare) but the transition to Linux is not easy for majority of less tech savvy users. I know you guys have setup Debian/Ubuntu for your grandma and it has been working great since, you don’t have to repeat that.

As someone who’s been trying to move over to Linux for years and fallback to Windows every time I tried, there’s always issues I need to troubleshoot, the most recent one would be mixed refresh rate monitors ie. running at 60Hz instead of 144Hz until I made specific change to a config file. And as a gamer, it makes it even harder - I am aware Proton is a thing now and ‘most’ games work out of the box, I have Steam Deck for my portable needs. Pay attention to the keyword ‘most’, when it doesn’t work, I ain’t wanna spend my previous time to troubleshoot so that I can play the game.

As for my Windows 11 experience, it hasn’t been that bad. There’s no more active prompts for update and restart your computer now or the world will end. UI also looks better with minimal tweaks. Is privacy concern something I should care more? Absolutely, but at this stage of my life, I value more on the consistency and expected behaviour from my PC.

Server use case on the other hand, Linux > all.

Honestly, my Win11 works well enough for my day 2 day use. I don’t have to troubleshoot any random issues I may encountered in Linux (I use Nvidia). I turned off all the telemetry settings I could but let’s be real, I am still using Google and all the big social media.

Win10 gave me more BSODs too. My only tip for the few Windows user here, do a fresh install instead of upgrade.

Linux desktop just ain’t worth it for a gamer; when it works it’s great, when it doesn’t - I don’t want to spend anymore of my limited time to fix or make it work.

I managed to save it with Connect for Lemmy (Android) app

It is wee bit windy outside today

My first saved post over here. Will check it out later:tm:

Yea it feels more ‘static’ when it comes to content, not necessary is a bad thing - a topic can remain relevant longer, almost felt like the good old forum days.

I notice similar pattern at lemmy.world as well.

Ignoring

Thank you for setting this instance up @Dave, been having trouble to find a snappy and responsive Lemmy server.

Keen to set one up down the road as well, for reasons.

Been procrastinating on loading my AA insurance card details into my BP and Countdown app, guess I don’t have to do that anymore
