If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.

Lemmy.world has kind of awful moderation, which means people who are trolls or bad actors have lived here for a very long time despite multiple reports.

Maybe people shouldn’t overflow the moderation pipe with reports then just because posts are idiotic. There’s the downvote button for that. I’m just a guy with a full-time job and personal life who on occasion may get ill with a cold or so. So when I log onto Lemmy on PC and I see a dozen of reports having popped up about posts being reported as being “in bad faith”, posts that may be genuinely idiotic but not containing any personal attacks / racism /…, I’m already checking out. Not every idiotic posts needs moderator intervention. Sometimes a minus 25 score is enough. So when there are a dozen of reports about merely idiotic posts, I might miss a genuinely intervention-worthy one.

the counterargument seems fairly strong.

Lemmy isn’t compatible with Threads.

so that if Threads were ever federated with, the sheer VOLUME of content would quickly overwhelm the ability of the mods to keep up.

No. Threads has no communities, Threads cannot post to Lemmy communities. That’s fearmongering.

if Threads were to join the Threadiverse

Threads is already part of the Fediverse but on a per-account basis. It’s compatible with Mastodon and other Twitter-likes that use ActivityPub. Lemmy can’t read Threads posts, just as Lemmy can’t read random Mastodon posts, only the ones Mastodon users explicitly posted into Lemmy communities.

Didn’t happen with MP3.

Someone re-parented a variation to prevent it being public domain until 2040.

So the variation cannot be used. That’s irrelevant for a file format. Some company could, for example, patent a more efficient encoding technique but the resulting file format is still public domain. So at worst an open source encoder would need to be slightly inefficient because it uses the traditional technique.

Someone will most likely patent hack it in order to reclaim it, then try to patent troll about it… Because corporate people are jerks.

How? If the tech is older than 25 years, it’s prior art no matter what. MP3 is fully free for the same reasons.

Like what? All I can see is copy and paste blog spam.

Interest in hobbies related to commercial brands (following sports, movie franchises, etc.)

When you even mention that you’d like to follow brand accounts, people start shouting at you how commercial scum needs to be banned/defederated.

Of course people move to platforms where their interests are represented.

You can post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon. Often the result is crap like that.

Bro what

No presentation slides or any meaningful content, just a photo of himself. Borders on self-promotion rather than actual Fediverse-related content.

So you posted a photo of yourself?

Meanwhile Lemmy World still on 0.19.3… 🥶

Ah, so all the tests must be wrong then. All the articles must be mistaken.

All? ALL? So finding only one counter example to Win10 running faster tears down your whole argument? You must be very sure of yourself. Let me do 30 seconds of googling… Oh:

• “When we compare Windows 10 to Windows 11, purely on throughput benchmarks, we don’t find much difference. There are a few spots where Windows 11 has a slight advantage in multi-threaded workloads” – https://www.anandtech.com/show/17047/the-intel-12th-gen-core-i912900k-review-hybrid-performance-brings-hybrid-complexity/16

• “The Windows 11-versus-10 differences may be small, indeed mostly within what we would consider margin of error. Indeed, anything under 2% we typically regard as possible run-to-run variance. But let’s take a closer look at the results anyway. The Windows 11 results mostly edge out the Windows 10 numbers, even if not by much.” – https://www.pcmag.com/news/windows-11-vs-windows-10-tested-will-the-os-upgrade-speed-up-your-current

Just that? Then where are the old settings? The old configuration screen? It’s gone now in win11.

No idea what you’re talking about. Also: WSL2 is more important.

I only had ads for win11 and office365 on win10. That’s it.

Then you forgot about the all ads for which there are guides on how to disable them. For example https://windowsreport.com/remove-ads-windows-10-creators-update/

Win10 runs faster and more stable then win11.

Bogus. They are the same in that regard. Stability is mostly dependent on used hardware and drivers these days.

Don’t get me started on all the limitations win11 introduced

Please do get started and how they weigh more than than WSL2.

next to all the ads

Win10 also has ads, MS added more ads through updates. My work desktop PC runs Win10, my work notebook runs Win11. I have the comparison on a daily basis.

and loss of control of settings.

A few minor things around taskbar placement. Even though my personal preference is a vertical taskbar on the left screen edge, it’s less important than WSL2.

You’re joking right?!? 😂

No, why would I? I nowhere said that Win11 is the best OS, btw, but from the perspective of a Linux user, Win11’s WSL2 is a massive improvement over WSL 1.0 in Win10.

If you’re looking for a Win10 fanboy, maybe look in a different community, not a Linux one.

The “year of the Linux desktop” was ages ago when Intel started developing drivers upstream in Linux, Mesa, and Xorg. This lead do AMD and others doing the same. None of the current developments, including Steam Deck, would have happened without that.

Win11 is definitely a lot better than Win10. The improvements around WSL alone are worth the upgrade.

Sure, the new start menu sucks but there are easy workarounds for that.

MacOS: Am I a joke to you?

MacOS (X) used to be the absolute best operating system around but ever since Apple became a phone company and Macs are merely an afterthought, macOS is indeed mostly a joke, not because the technological foundation is bad (actually that is quite good) but because of Apple’s dumb commercial decisions: The absolutely dumbest thing is Metal (their non-standard take on DirectX), deprecating OpenGL, and not adopting Vulkan.

WSL is the best thing that’s ever happened to windows

WSL is great but the NT kernel was/is more important, then userspace GPU drivers (which Linux still lacks), then WSL.

People now in their 20s don’t realize how utterly bad Win9x and then the first consumer grade NT-based WinXP were (and those older may have forgotten). Win7, 10, and 11 are paradise by comparison. These days I can cope with Windows. I don’t love it but it’s not a daily cause of anger like the Windows dark ages. Heck, winget even makes software installation bearable.

Nothing screams “Workstation” louder than Reddit Mobile.
