Same here, it’s the reason why I kicked Ubuntu off my laptop. They removed any way to choose and made it such a pain to get around the Snap bullremoved. I’m on Linux because I want to choose what I do with my system.

I think the reality is that no one on Reddit gives a removed about Lemmy

I wouldn’t be so sure:

This is less about the instance as a whole. The !worldnews@lemmy.ml mods are notoriously terrible. It’s best to just avoid the community altogether.

I experienced that too and ended up just disabling the timed sleep mode. Not sure if it’s actually related to KDE software or just a Linux bug in general though.

PRAISE THE CUBE

This totally reads like a E-Mail you’d find on a random PC in Deus Ex.

From what I’ve read, I must be the luckiest person in the world. I’ve been on Linux for 10+ years and only ever had Nvidia hardware. I’ve never had any issues aside from the occasional Vsync annoyance.

I’m afraid it’s terminal.

The final nail will be when they eventually kill old.reddit.

No personally identifiable information or private account information is transmitted between instances. The only thing that is synced is the content of your posts, reports and up- and downvotes. And all of that serves a purpose and is shared willingly.

Word of advice: do not do this to any device that you actually depend on. Linux enthusiasm is all fine and fun, but this will kill most practical functionality of your device. I’d say try it out on a old phone you might have laying around but not on your daily driver.

This app is great, I’ve used it for a few months. I used to hate dealing with appimages, now I don’t even think about them.

Have you checked /var/log/syslog?

If not, see if there’s anything around the time of the crash there that indicates a GFX problem, like “GPU has fallen off the bus”.

No. The servers that host your account comply with GDPR. If you post something on reddit and, for example, archive.org scrapes the post, reddit is not responsible for that. Adding to that, there is no personal information transmitted between Lemmy servers, only the name of your account and the content of the post.

I’ve had it happen a few times over the years. It probably depends on your drive configuration and it doesn’t happen with every update. But the last time was one too many for me and I kicked windows off my main system.

If the URL actually shows the address of the federated instance, yes - you’ll see the content. In that case you will not be signed in though.

If you visit the federated instance through your home instance, the content will not be visible and you’ll be signed in.

You will not see any content from a defederated instance, even if they were posted to another federated instance.

I think the closest you’ll get to an “open” platform right now is the community-maintained https://www.themoviedb.org/. Their API is also free for non-commercial use.

I generally agree, but I felt like Bluesky was on a whole different level.
