Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)

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.

People keep coming up with smarter and smarter way to protest, I love it!

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

That’s stupid, I mean, cat nets are basically invisible from down the street, I have one on my balcony, your neighbors complained just for the sake of it, well done anyway! :D

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

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.
