Honestly if Discord went away I’d switch to posting notes on a cork board on the wall before I switched to Matrix in its current state.

Matrix is so bad though. Slow, sometimes just doesn’t load, bridges are crap… Why would I want to switch to it?

Not interested in any fledgeling platform that doesn’t have a fart app, sorry

I said that the privacy concerns being worth the cost of a “smart”-free TV means nothing to the majority of people.

You said that this isn’t true, and that their main customer is commercial places.

I suggested, in response to this, that the majority of people don’t own such commercial places.

What part are you not understanding?

Yes because the majority own/buy TV’s commercial places like offices and stadiums.

Because words have consequences. It’s not just about “snowflakes”, it’s also misinformation. Do you not remember what happened during the Covid lockdowns? Do you not remember how Trump gained power?

You are of course free to ignore everything anyone says, unfortunately many people hang onto their every word and before you know it, being trans is now considered a mental illness by a load of people who get to make decisions about what happens to trans people when they need medical care.

Which is an entirely fair compromise for people who use Lemmy, but means precisely nothing to the majority.

At only double the price of an equivalently priced smart one! Bargain _/s

And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?

You’ll not have to download anything then, AMD drivers are baked in. You’ll literally be able to boot your OS for the first time, install a game and it’ll get full performance off the bat

Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can’t possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that’s really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook

Maybe if people/browser makers didn’t bend over to this nonsense, the websites would figure it out. You know, the people who’s problem that is (because yes, if you run a website and want to make money off it, that’s your problem to fix not mine, and it’s certainly not my job to cater to it).

If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.

I thought we’d blocked ads already?

Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.

Checkmate!

I’m really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they’re immediately put off because it’s a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I’m glad at least someone is doing it!

Ploopy mice are a real thing and run QMK. I have their Classic trackball and it’s an absolute beast

I found out not long ago that I can’t donate blood in the US because I’m British and lived here during the 1990’s so could theoretically be carrying mad cow disease.

You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn’t have Bluetooth).

The n900 was truly the best phone ever to exist and I’m deeply upset about it not having a modern equivalent

Use Heroic launcher for Epic games, it works great for everything I’ve put through it (including anti-cheat riddled stuff like GTA5 and Fall Guys). Heroic also supports GOG games. Lutris does the rest but can be a bit hit and miss compared to Steam/Heroic.
