How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?
  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don't see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.

  • Looking for a system/application language that is better than C/C++
  • I don't know about game dev, buy SerenityOS guys are flirting with Swift.

    If it wasn't from Apple, I would be all over it. They basically took different languages and most of C++ devs made fastest advance in Swift. Rust I do like and support, but is too confusing for amout of free time I have.

  • Is The United State Fighting A Proxy War?
  • I don't see it as OP equated Ukraine to Palestine, just theoretizes that there is common other side in those conflicts and that reasons for those wars are not what we think they are.

    Interesting idea, but I don't see it.

  • Volvo gives up plan to sell only EVs by 2030
  • Amount of batteries needed is not solved problem.

    EU has around 250 million cars, with 10-15 million sold every year. Even best future mines have lithium for around 1 million cars per year and those batteries last about ten years.

    Sodium Ion might give us a chance if we invest in technology.

  • How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse?
  • Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

    People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is... something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

    This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.

  • What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?
  • We learned to hate "algorithm" but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.

    Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.

  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?
  • Those are only .md files, I guess any text editor will open them.

    Yeah, no reminders and tasks, but notes should be accessible from anything and git can sync it. Never tried it, but text files were the reason I choose zim in the first place. I want it simple.

  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?
  • Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/

    Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.

    Perfect for me.

    Zim can be used to:

    Keep an archive of notes
    Keep a daily or weekly journal
    Take notes during meetings or lectures
    Organize task lists
    Draft blog entries and emails
    Do brainstorming

  • I have done stuff by myself they in anybtime before yt would need someone to show me.

    Whem car mechanic tells me I have problem on my car I can find yt on how to detect it and how to solve it. I don't get knowledge to do it, but I can definitely appreciate their work more and not think they are just ripping me off.

    It is amazing what we have and take for granted.

  • Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser
  • I fail to see how is traing AI on publicly available images hurting small artists?

    You don't have to write if you don't have time, link to explanation is good for me.

    I basically use generated images in places that would not have any ilustrations before. There is no budget. When I have money for an artist I hire an artist.

  • Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser
  • It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

    Using "he" insted of "they" is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It's like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

    There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.

  • Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser
  • These people started it and are doing it for fun.

    Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

    It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that's a huge win whatever happens with browser itself

  • What factors do you think contributed to the "Reddit Hivemind"? How do you believe it can be avoided?
  • I see it just as extension to "cancel culture" in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

    It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

    Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don't know what's happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

    I don't see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

    Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
  • It is still young and underdeveloped.

    It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

    Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

    Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).

  • Paywall content for rss.ponder.cat
  • I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

    I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn't want me to read their article I will not do it.

    But... they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

    Than there is problem with I don't trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

    Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

    While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

    If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month... or a year).

    I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

  • In, just released, Firefox 115.0 hardware video decoding is enabled by default for Intel GPUs on Linux

    While some of us had it turned on for some time, some didn't. Looks like it is fully stable now.

    Yey! Test it by starting intel_gpu_top and than playing video in firefox, if row "Video" goes over 0.0% it is working!

    ``` intel-gpu-top: Intel Coffeelake (Gen9) @ /dev/dri/card0 - 921/ 925 MHz; 38% RC6 1.78/10.41 W; 813 irqs/s

    Of course, you need second monitor, it goes down to 0 if video is not visible, since Firefox is not rendering it.

    Peertube @lemmy.ml monobot @lemmy.ml

    How do I subscribe, comment and like videos on Peertube from lemmy and/or mastadon account?

    After years of trying out fediverse, I am still struggling with this basics.

    Is there a way? Do I need peertube account to be able to interact with it?

    CPTSD @lemmy.ml monobot @lemmy.ml

    How are you?

    This is the community I miss the most from reddit and will probably go back at least to it.

    But I would love for us to have and option here too and some support group in fediverse.

    I am exploring mastadon #cptsd tag and found a way to subscribe to tag, so there are ways for us to connect.
