That’s the thing. I get that people using the service on a third party client and not seeing ads is hurting their bottom line as they use bandwidth and not make money. But just banning them outright is a shit move. Ideally they would’ve made it part of Reddit Premium to make that a bit more worthwhile.

Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It’s very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.

SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/

But even with an immutable distro you don’t have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don’t specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.

I’d argue it’s implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.

This is amazing! Honestly a no brainer feature. Having to create an account just to contribute on one project’s instance is not a great experience currently and the reason I mainly stick to Github.

Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.

Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.

Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.

I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won’t drive the average user to install Linux as they don’t know what it even is.

I would love to see Apple go down the route of actually supporting modern OpenGL and Vulkan on their hardware. The hardware is amazing but forcing software to rely on Metal just holding it back especially when it comes to games.

Agreed. Especially for long text posts it’s handy to collapse the post. But more often than not it happens when I try to click a link and miss the hitbox ever so slightly. So maybe for posts a button to collapse would be the way to go?

But if you on instance.alpha subscribe to a community on instance.beta that would federate the community to your local instance, right? Is there something I’m missing?

Exactly. Trying to install the latest version of a bunch of apps on a base like Debian is bound to give you dependency issues if you try to install the native version.

I can only recommend you to look into using Flatpak to install graphical applications. It avoids the whole dependency or permission issues because it ships apps in their own well tested little sandbox. From a end user perspective its somewhat similar to how applications are bundled on macOS.

Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I’m really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

I agree. But not everyone likes to do it that way and checking for email in the background should be at least an option in a modern email client in my opinion.

At least Brave forks Chromium and they have a bunch of patches they apply to the codebase. I mean yeah, they still contribute to the Chromium monopoly but calling them just a rebrand is a bit unfair in my opinion

Maybe a good middle ground would be an user that upvotes. That would include all the lurkers, that contribute by upvoting/downvoting.

A pretty good Lemmy client for iOS is Memmy. That being said Christian Selig (the dev of Apollo for Reddit) is working on his Next Big Thing™. Fingers crossed for that being Apollo for Lemmy.
