I'm digging it so far. My only things of initial note are the account switch button and logout button are pretty close together and, while I appreciate an option to enlarge content text, I think there needs to be an option to enlarge UI text. Some of the stuff, like the subscription list in the drawer, is tiny for my old eyes (and fat fingers). Oh, and maybe a way to tell you've up/downvoted something at a glance other than the vote number changing. I've added the app on Obtainium to continue following along. 😊

I'm amazed Spice is still around. I don't know why; I guess I just hadn't seen it or heard or thought about it in years.

I just want them to add precipitation radar. That's all I really feel like they're missing.

37, US, and yes. I prefer manual for keeping my attention actively on the car and driving.

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I’m pretty sure the data is available because I’ve seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can’t remember which now.

I’ve heard Matrix is closer to Discord, but not quite as feature-rich - with the tradeoff being open source. I joined the Matrix room for Jerboa development just to follow along, and then my home Matrix instance has a chat it threw me in when first logging into Element that I let roll but mostly ignore. I have no idea what I’m doing or even why I really joined, other than to check it out for myself to see what it’s all about.

I don’t think I’ve been on IRC since 2006ish. It was the gathering ground for my favorite private torrent tracker at the time. We had internet radio and all kinds of fun stuff.

Before that, like back in the AOL days, there were chat-based filesharing server rooms, where you would get a list of files, then request whatever illicit goods you wanted via chat commands.

I’m not really sure what people use IRC for now, but it’s still active.

Some instances have a 100kb limit, which is understandable, but very inconvenient if you don’t have a way to shrink the filesize down. This is my best estimation as to why you get errors when trying to upload directly to posts, as it’s happened to me bouncing between various instances. There’s usually a statement in the “About this site”/sidebar area on your instance’s main page.

Image uploads are limited to 100kb

So you’ll have to use some alternatives; I’ve seen catbox.moe used a lot on Lemmy.

Nothing broken or nonfunctional or anything. I’ve just been more of a fan of Cinnamon (and Xfce before that). I hadn’t tried Plasma in any real capacity in years, so figured I’d see where it’s at now; it’s fine. So they’re more complaints than issues - “old man yells at cloud”-type stuff because I have to figure out everything again, which is frustrating when you have a workflow.

Fair enough. May your future internet interactions trend more positive. Have a good rest of your night, day, or whatever time it is where you’re at.

You came out aggressively swinging from comment one, pal. Not sure what’s got you at an 11, but I guess I could have been nicer. That’s my bad.

Ok, bud. 😂

The line you quoted as “editorializing” (“how the children obtained guns”) is literally a line pulled directly from the article subheader. In other words, there’s no editorialization from OP. Like, you do realize that… right? By your replies, I can’t tell if you’re just trolling hard or that oblivious.

In a sea of wordy posts, out pops sharktitty. Simple, effective, standout. Thank you.

I’m really looking forward to Sea of Stars. I’m not even big on turn-based RPGs, save for a few exceptions, but it’s really speaking to me. Not sure if it scratches a nostalgia itch or if it’s the gorgeous art, but I’m into it.

Coming from Fedora/Cinnamon, I went with Tumbleweed/Plasma. As dumb as it sounds, checking out those “X things to do after installing openSUSE Tumbleweed” articles really helps get the ball rolling with adding the Packman repo, using opi for codecs, installing MS Fonts for compatibility, and other basic quality-of-life things like that. YaST does a lot of heavy lifting and hand holding, which can be good or bad depending on your Linux journey, experience, and/or philosophy - but it is very convenient. Honestly, like with anything Linux, you just kind of adjust til you find things you don’t like - which, to be honest, my main list of things is less with openSUSE itself and more with KDE Plasma.

I guess that’s a long way to say, I’ve been fine and haven’t missed Fedora.

After 3 years on Fedora, the distro that finally made me stop hopping, I moved to openSUSE when I installed a new SSD. I have no idea what the future holds, but I’m good with switching now when convenient rather than later.

Wow. I didn’t realize there were playtesting subs. I’m not surprised, but that sounds like it could be pretty cool.

Started on kbin.social and beehaw.org. Realized I liked Lemmy just a little more early on and stuck with Beehaw. But then they started to defederate from larger instances with open signups. So I joined lemmy.world to be part of the bigger picture. Then it got too big and people want to play the DDoS game, so now I’ve got this alt on lemm.ee as well. We’ll see where it goes from here. 😂

The good news is, Republicans aren’t really about pursuing wokeness as much anymore. But polling also suggests they’re much more in favor of Trump still, somehow, in spite of everything. So that’s the other shoe dropping. They’re back on their “law and order,” unless the law and order is coming down on Trump, it seems. 😂
