That would be very fun

It occurs to me this could be considered a low effort post, if this isnt welcome please feel free to take it down or let me know and take it down myself, I don’t wish to submit stuff that isn’t a fit for the community :)

Do you just use a different chromium based browser, or are you out here rocking Ladybird caude you’re cooler than the rest of us

I guess WebKit is a more likely option

I use Firefox but I can’t say I love the way mozilla manages their projects 😅 I’m hopeful something like ladybird will eventually, someday, be a viable replacement

Thats honestly a super interesting idea…

This is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen 🥺

Grayjay is also a cool new option you might wanna look into :) it supports freetube, YouTube, twitch, etc all through one app. Louis rossman has a video up about it on his YouTube channel. Worth knowing its in beta though

A solid, accessible guide for different desktop environments and window mangers is something that’s been needed for a long time. Or even just some kinda step by step to recreate an example setup would be super helpful to new folks and could help grow the community.

I think that’d be a plus given the migration to lemmy split things up and shrank the number of contributers here vs reddit.

I mean liberal and conservative aren’t the same level of crappy in my eyes, but it is accurate to say corporate interests fund both of them. I think its reasonable to question how beholden both of them are to private interests

I had never heard of nova os before- thanks for sharing!

Thats a nice wallpaper, I like the colors

I don’t know the answer, but I will engage with the post so that hopefully someone who does will see it :)

I think thats orzo?

Unix is a specific operating system, and there are a lot of operating systems based on it or derived from it (Linux, MacOS, BSD, and both Android and ChromeOS which are based on the linux kernel)

Here’s a handy link to the Wikipedia page for unix. You may find the intro & history sections more useful than the stuff about what Unix is from a technical perspective, or how it works.

This may be sacrilege, but I don’t mind seeing someone’s Windows customizations here, though its not what the community is intended for

Oh, Yeah I agree. I was referring to the mods who decided to ban the piracy communities, not the bigoted guy who loves intellectual property law

That’s a very fair argument and I appreciate you explaining that, though I don’t think it changes my stance on whether I agree with their decision. I feel there’s still a difference between hosting it directly vs the federated nature of the platform meaning that the content is copied so it can be served to an end user. Banning the communities feels a bit knee jerk to me, and it doesn’t help that the person pushing for the changes is clearly not interested in reasonable discussions about how the platform we’re on should or shouldn’t dictate ethical choices for their users (and is also a raging homophobe).

Issues with the person pushing mods to make this change aside (since thats essentially irrelevant to whether it was the right call in a vacuum. Doesn’t matter that the guy sucks), the decision doesn’t sit right with me, even if I can empathize with the provided rationale.

I’m not really inclined to immediately write off anyone who makes a decision I don’t like as a shitty person and bad faith actor, but I certainly don’t agree with their decision.

Just about finished setting up my new account here on Lemm.ee, hopefully it’ll do a better job of providing the kind of vanilla experience I’m looking for, where I’m the one deciding what I do or don’t want to see.

I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They’re literally hosted by someone else…?
