Yes and no. Would be nice to have more active niche communities, but I don’t want this place to become full-on Reddit.

and was not just some sort of “Russia bad” thing from Torvalds

The way he announced it and responded to the critics very much made it seem like that. He legitimately needs to shut the fuck up and get a PR person to talk in his stead.

Kind of. A bastard in the sense that he was a major influence to modern men’s fashion and fast fashion as a whole, but otherwise he was really a victim of the system that sought a way out and unwittingly contributed to the very same system, not to mention that he was kind of a jerk.

Techbros are the modern day equivalent to snake oil salesmen.

… Subbed.

Quite frankly I’d rather not say it, I don’t want to start shit/drama.

I would recommend sh.itjust.works

lol

I was banned from a large sub there because I downvoted some clickbaity posts by the mod themselves. Literally that, downvoting.

My computer is a temple and merchants can get out.

Gotta steal this one and start using it.

It’s what I’ve been using recently, but I really dislike how it’s a browser extension, that and how it can’t really handle audio files from my experience.

Good question.

I’m yet to find something that supports notifications, handles podcasts/videos and isn’t janky as all hell or hasn’t been abandoned for a decade by now.

I know some people who use it for videos, etc.

That’s one of my problems with Thunderbid, anything that isn’t a HTML page just has loads of problems with it. In fact, most of the readers recommended above by other people suffer from the same problems, it kind of sucks.

The idea is to imitate the experience of something like Feedly, an RSS feed you can access from anywhere on any device, recommendations, all that… Which is overkill if all you want is just a simple program that queries for new posts every x hours.

UI is too bloated, slow, resource hungry and I’ve had problems with displaying some feed content in the past.

Outlook

God forbid.

The problem is finding a good local, desktop based RSS reader other than thunderbird or a damn server app, especially if you’re on Windows.

Technical Death Metal. Depending of the band you get this ridiculously crazy and sophisticated instrumentalism and polyrhythmic beats like Archspire, other times you get more progressive, experimental groups like Blood Incantation that mix and match genres and soundscapes.

In fact, the newest album from Blood Incantation is a good example of that, one moment you’re listening to fast blast beats and then it suddenly takes a hard turn into pink floyd and slowly starts crescendoing back into fast Death Metal over the next couple of minutes. It’s an absurd aural experience to say the least, but I really like experimental music that pushes boundaries even when it doesn’t totally work.

You don’t want to play on Linux? Get a steam deck… Which runs on Linux! 😀

Ingenious.

We what? WE WHAT?!

Well I mean, be the change you want to see then, post more. Other than that, you really won’t find any online communities without the occasional power hungry mods, that’s just the sad reality that power corrupts.

Commenting not so much, but posting is almost exclusively done by a regular few. Reddit was already like that, but Lemmy is infinitely smaller so it becomes obviously apparent.

Xandão wins yet again, suck it Elmo.
