I found the original study in the article, it’s in German. Here it is (Linux Gaming: Test Results and Conclusion), it looks like most Linux distros have worse lows and frame times than Windows 11, other than Arch Linux which seems to be a tossup.
Repealing that act should be one of the largest priorities of leftists in the United States. I wish people talked about it more.
It’s based on posts and comments.
I’m glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.
I have Photon running at the same subdomain level as my main UI, but it’s easy enough to host both.
Unfortunately, the software for both running and displaying Lemmy is still in beta. While it’s still in active development, it’s probably for the best that we stay niche because bugs and stability issues turn off a lot of people permanently from the platform. That’s why I’m waiting until the Lemmy 1.0 release to really advertise, I don’t think we’re ready for that kind of growth yet.
Seems to. It federated to me at least, so it looks like it was saved correctly.
I would be inclined to agree with you if they didn’t get rid of Premium Light. I think charging users for avoiding ads is completely reasonable, we live in a Capitalist country and video hosting isn’t cheap. Even still, axing Premium Light shows a desire to screw over users in order to achieve more profit, which in my mind makes YouTube scummy.
Yes. Making videos is a job and the creators need money to eat and remain housed, it’s reasonable for them to want to be compensated for their work.
That’s a really cool script. Does it work for posts/comments that haven’t federated to your instance yet?
I also hope that they continue to be able to use that tool, but at this point, it’s clear to me that it would be wise to start learning new tools. For me, it’s not just that the company has made a mistake, but that the mistake was a repeat of a mistake they made back in 2019, which indicates that they may well do it again.
Here’s a Reddit post with some people talking about Linux distros if you want to see some additional opinions: link. Manjaro with KDE is a good option as well I’d like to add, my personal recommendation is to install a Linux partition separate from Windows and ease into it, if you enjoy the experience you’ll find yourself using the Windows partition less and less until you are able to finally delete it.
Indeed, the process has really been streamlined. The configs and additional stuff from the olden days still exist, but they’re configured really well by default and someone would only ever need to touch them to try and eke out as much performance as possible.
Not really, but it would still be more helpful to explain how it’s better.
Some of these proposals are really interesting. I think it would be neat if China had a more vibrant flag design, the red banner with yellow stars is a bit plain.
This is completely unsurprising. Under the new “free speech” regime, X has been completely deluged with antisemitic, pro-Russia, and anti-democracy propaganda. It’s no wonder that advertisers don’t want to be associated with that type of content.
This is completely unsurprising. Often when a company goes to shit it’s the board of directors, ultimately, they control the CEO and the rest of the executive team at a company. I feel horribly for the indie devs that were using Unity, though there’s always a chance for this to happen to proprietary software it still sucks when it does happen.
The quoting in Lemmy is block quotes, so it appears you’d have to quote each paragraph individually. Definitely inconvenient, I wonder if there’s a way they could rework the system.
For the best. Companies need to learn to tread carefully when dealing with customers, they can’t be allowed to get off lightly for trying anti-consumer practices like this.
They were using Proton, so most likely X11 as their windowing system. I’m guessing they were using the default distro kernels as of November 15, 2023 (when they ran the benchmark), but I don’t think the article said for sure.
