its talking about taking part in your kids interests, not letting yt babysit them.

the malware one happens in most repos at some point, but the rest is why i dont use ubuntu.

bread and circuses were free. unfortunately this is even worse.

its a know your audience thing. gotta gauge who will be ok with it and who won’t.

thats not nearly enough cells to have an internal experience, they’re fine.

well because its dangerous nationalism in other countries, duh

i prefer more of a win7 style with accent color outlines, but win9x style will always look good.

i usually restart pretty often bc I like to keep it updated

arch users hate it when you use gui for some reason

yo momma so fat

i have to cram it all in the pillowcase and then fold the leftover pillowcase (I have a big pillowcase and normal sized pillow) under the pillow. i usually have to redo it once or twice bc I toss and turn a lot.

only stuff that is purely political and has nothing else. it doesnt need to be banned entirely (because its great material to base jokes around) but stuff thats little more than a news article doesnt belong and should be being removed anyway

i can do something similar, but when they tried to teach me how in like 5th grade I was very determined not to do what my teachers wanted so I do it weird

thats exactly what plasma needs right now. feels like every time I read this week in plasma they just extracted it straight from my mind and fixed the things that were bugging me.

yeah but I want to buy the ones that are sold without drm to support the author and the selling of ebooks with no drm

Honestly I don’t think those things are that big of a deal. yeah it’s annoying, but very few people are going to be setting up on new devices often enough for the verification thing to matter (also it’s only needed for encrypted chats, which won’t be most of them) and most discord users either don’t care about emojis or use whatever is available on their server as part of the server. Just letting rooms (probably need a way for all rooms in a space to have them too) have a set of custom emojis tied to them should work for most people. for the people who do care about emojis and stickers, they can have any emoji or sticker they want.

I think the main issues are things like slow load times and trying to keep every room loaded at all times. the first can be alleviated by going to a less popular instance or by fixing the second. most people won’t trust instances other than the main one for a while bc they are new to the federated stuff. The second can be fixed by just not trying to load every room. you still need to check for new messages every so often but that doesn’t mean they all have to be loaded at all times. I’m also pretty sure you can turn of the verification thing in your instance account settings.

thats exactly what I mean though. the technical side is already great, if they can get the ux on par with discord (which is a very low bar) they’ll have a shot. thats something they could feasibly do in the short term.

no idea why they dont have it. i like the separate vertical and horizontal scroll on my MX master 3 but it would be nice to have a little more control.

if matrix can get some of the remaining issues fixed I think it has a decent shot at taking over, but people will probably pick another “federated” proprietary app like with bluesky

i use Niagara and I like it, but its a little different. if you want a more traditional one ive heard lawnchair is good.
