Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.

Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

Any user can message an admin on lemmy with any sort of recommendation.

Question is why are you so eager in wanting the username. The guy’s username is of little consequence

It is @Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee

I only hope you don’t use this to harass the guy or something

Good on them if they don’t fall to the bait

You can find the guy’s account in this post’s thread.

That was not my point. My point was that the guy who planted the idea in the heads of the lemmy.world admins has planted the idea in the heads of the lemm.ee admins. They may or may not respond similarly as the lemmy.world admins

The guy who started this whole thing by asking lemmy.world admins to defederate with lemmy.dbzer0.com is a lemm.ee account and he has asked lemm.ee to take similar action

Need to install a program? Here is a .deb file that you have to right click, allow execution.

Don’t do this if you can avoid it. If you want to install something use the application store installed on your distro. This way the dependencies will be handled. Installing using a Deb file should be the last option or second last option

Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit

I meant variable refresh rate by vrr.

though can’t really see any need for it as my monitors are similar resolution there

Well wayland may help if the refresh rates of the monitor is different. Also Wayland will be the only one supported in the future as if I understand correctly, X11 is no longer supported

I’ve heard it’s not great for gaming anyway

Gaming on wayland now has more or less the same performance as on x11. Some things like vrr (atleast on plasma) is even better/easier on wayland than on x11

I like Gnome. It is very usable out of the box and requires the least amount of work to get it to my liking. I am current running pop_os’ cosmic version of gnome though I also enjoyed vanilla-ish(that is with 2-3 extensions) version of gnome with fedora. If only mutter starts officially supporting vrr when using wayland

Problem is a video sharing platform is much more storage intensive than a link or text sharing/aggregation platform

because in fact, it was something they did to extend the life of the device

The fact is that is what apple says is the reason. Maybe they are trying to influence the user into buying new hardware by making the phone seem more sluggish.

I understand your points about the ecological impacts of creating and buying new technological devices. But youtube is not the sole driver in making people new devices. People buying new stuff is the goal of the entire tech industry. I dont see how switching to peertube or other FOSS alternatives will lead to an reduction in ecological impact. Hardware companies will still be making new phones, laptops, etc and people will still be buying these new devices.

Dont get me wrong, i would love for FOSS alternatives to youtube becoming mainstream but the ecological impact argument does not seem to hold at least not in my eyes.

The paper was an interesting read though. Thank you. I will try to hold on to devices for longer from now on (hopefully as long as possible)

potential low tech hardware

Low tech ≠ efficient

I have an old laptop that is low tech and uses only 15 watts of power. Compared to that my laptop has a general power usage of 35 watts or more on heavy CPU intensive tasks. On face value it seems that the old machine is more power efficient but that is not the case. The amount computing power provided for that 15 watts used is very low and like 15 times lower than the computational grunt provided by the new machine which makes the new machine 5-6 times more efficient.

Edit - it would great if you can link the scientific papers you mentioned. I am by no means an expert and love to be proven wrong and learn something in the process

you think your time is worth nothing, then okay.

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you really think that people who use or try to use open source software do not value their time?

How will we able to choose whether we want to give access to the data when we do not own the data in the first place(atleast with how data works now)
