That entire sentence sounds like a title of a visual novel

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

I was coming to comment this. I’ve used a lot of free video editing software over the years and most of them are ass. The ones that aren’t usually have a catch like watermarking your output. Davinci resolve came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, it’s everything you could want in a video editing program but free!

You should give it a shot, it’s pretty fun and West of Loathing isn’t that long to finish.

There’s a Github issue specifically for this

West of Loathing and its sequel Shadows of Loathing have a bland grayscale artstyle on the outside but they’re absolutely hilarious RPGs that have a lot of heart to them.

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

Oh come on, the art style is charming!

Could you mention what apps you needed to run?

I don’t remember which they were exactly but some Adobe products were some of them. Specifically Illustrator.

Also, fractional scaling has been improved a lot in Gnome and KDE, afaik.

I hope so. I’ve last been on Linux like ~2 years ago and I’ve heard some good changes.

A few apps I needed didn’t work on Linux without a hassle and a lot of games I play with friends only run on Windows. I also found a lot of things were kind of a hassle on Linux, especially screen scaling. Fractional screen scaling straight up barely works and everything on my laptop screen was usually tiny.

I would totally go back when the experience is a bit nicer, I’m pretty frustrated with Windows. I think the Linux desktop experience isn’t totally ready imo.

No Schweppes? For shame.

Also, cheers to my milk tea brethren.

Federating in the meantime is not.

Dude, Threads isn’t federating with anything right now. That’s the point, we’re not federated so there’s no reason to make a decision on something that won’t happen yet.

I’ve made many comments saying why we should defederate with Threads but I still agree with the admins that there’s no point in doing a knee-jerk reaction on a threat that

A) won’t happen until at least a few months later

B) likely won’t federate with Lemmy anyways

C) isn’t actually a threat to Lemmy, but could pose a threat to microblogging websites like Mastodon

So yeah, waiting and seeing isn’t stupid.

Dumb take. Lemmy.world devs simply said it’s not likely Threads will federate with Lemmy anytime soon anyways, and they’ll make a decision when there is actually a decision to be made.

Don’t know if it counts but I hate my alarm so much that I sometimes wake up 1 minute before it triggers.

Some kind of door knocker?

A shame.

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Hey, what do you think of beans?

Literally nobody has ever said this lol

I didn’t say we should harass admins, I’m saying it’s up to us as a community to either move to an instance that defederates or if you know what you’re doing, stay on an instance that does federate and don’t add content to Threads. Lurking is okay, but posting there means you’re adding value to them and taking away from local communities and slowly rendering other instances irrelevant.

It bothers me that after leaving for-profit social media, a lot of people here are totally fine going straight back to them. Have we really learned nothing?
