One reason is reddit is still much lower in the public consciousness, compared to Instagram, which is effectively the biggest social media nowadays.

ngl, that second derivative def looks positive

Seriously. I think Linux users expend 10x the energy worrying about ads on Windows than actual windows users. If you’re used to seeing hundreds of ads / day on the web, why the hell would you care about an occasional onedrive popup.

Re touchpads totally agree as well, I installed fedora kde on my mom’s abandoned laptop a couple weeks ago and it was atrocious. Limited gestures, no configurability, no smooth scroll, no scroll momentum except in apps that implement it manually, scrolling speeds totally off. I managed to fix most of these, but regular people can’t be expected to.

Battery life, for another is unpredictable and quite bad. Most people I’ve talked to seem to assume performant/light = efficient when it comes to Linux. This is not the case. Once again, solutions exist, but they are not accessible to a regular person.

I’d post a blog post if there was one

wouldn’t risk-v be worse in terms of standardisation? At least for advanced functionality

Wow this dweb is a whole rabbit hole

Link gives me a 404

If you’re relying on the remote server to delete something, you can’t trust it no matter what protocol you’re using.

I mean yeah I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but for the 99% of regular communication it’s fine. That’s no reason to not have it in the protocol and muck around with 10 second delays instead.

The delay is there because email has no deletion support.

And a host of other shortcomings.

I’d rather we replaced email with matrix

I still want something push based (without paying for those rss as a service)

Oh TIL, thanks

To maintain focus — as well as comfort on trackpads — simply clicking any region of a window while holding Super will allow dragging it to your preferred location and quickly get back to your important task.

Curious why you chose super instead of the usual alt?

Curious, do you use this as your main keyboard?

“we need to talk” is just a phrase, he’s not demanding from anyone

er, do you have an example. This is not a trend I was aware of

nicco loves linux also apparently made a good video, I just saw this one first

Good. This is the better overall solution

Stream’s discovery queue is a good counterexample: optional, doesn’t manipulate you or waste your time, and each item indicates why it’s been recommended (though in my case it all seems to be because they’re popular).

I may get flamed for this, but having having algorithmic recommendations would be good. The ones we’re used to suck because they’re designed to maximize metrics like engagement for advertisers, but it is entirely possible to have one that’s user focused and can be turned on/off as users wish. And it doesn’t have to be some super complicated thing out of the box

Count yourself lucky because discord desktop is one of the worst pieces of crap I’ve ever used
