I like lemmy’s design, but I thought it’s user onboarding process was pretty bad when I joined. It’s much better since the join-lemmy.org redesign.

Pretty much everything on the fediverse is just a clone of another social media. Pixelfed still has the most intuitive design for new users and a great onboarding process. Took Mastodon a while to catch up.
Dansup is seriously great at designing social platforms. I don’t have much personal use for it, as I never cared for instagram, but I think Pixelfed is the best designed platform on the Fediverse. I’m sure Loops will be great too. Fantastic name too.
maybe I do suck at it. could you explain it to me?
Not a remotely relevant comparison, and even if it was, completely ignores my second point.
If they’re going to find it on lemmy they’re going to find it anywhere. Also, they already know about ublock origin, and its unlikely they’d even care about unhooked, since it doesn’t block ads.
The company that makes it seems invested in crypto, but what does radicle itself have to do with it?
ah I may have mixed its behaviour up with kate
gedit uses polkit and should prompt you with a password when modifying a file that needs root priviledges. you shouldn’t have to run it as root
Absurd take lol. Every organization needs a code of conduct and someone to enforce it.
I disagree in this case. The majority of Firefox forks make it clear they’re a fork, giving credit to Mozilla. Midori seems to hide that they’re a fork while adding very little to the browser. Their website also takes donations while having a fake phone number and broken contact button. Hard not to see that as suspicious.
Edit: the dev was also completely ok with Firedragon switching to their codebase because they did so resepectfully.
I still disagree with what the dev did, but I get the struggle.
The creator of Floorp posted a reponse to this: https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/
TLDR posted by the creator: creator:
To put it simply, the current Floorp, including forks, will end the moment I stop maintaining it, so to prevent that from happening, I have prohibited forks. The idea is to solve the user’s concern about code transparency by tightening the license when returning to open source, and to create a sustainable Floorp by giving them the choice of paying money or helping with the coding.
Unfortunately a lot of this seems in reponse to Midori, a seemingly hostile fork with a pretty suspcious website.
Lemmy is FOSS and largely used by anticapitalist tech nerds (I say this positively). Chrome is one of the most significant monopolies in tech. I don’t know why you wouldn’t expect this to be a common topic.
Firefox can always compete, because if it ever stopped existing Google would have an antitrust case on their hands. For the same reason, Google cannot violate web standards, like what has happened in previous browser wars.
I don’t agree that Firefox is unable to render a portion of the web, I’ve been using it for years and have never once run into a website that had a problem with my browser. I thought once that studentaid.gov did, but that turned out to be a problem with extensions. I’ve seen more websites that have issues with me using Linux than with Firefox.
Nix the package manager uses the Nix language, and NixOS is a distro built on top of it. They’re all part of the same topic, and the article was talking about that.
https://nix.dev/ and https://zero-to-nix.com/ are the best resources imo.
It’s not finished, but it works on the current release. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Running_under_Wayland
Cosmic DE definitely. HDR too
Haha, thats a fun coincidence. At some point Priapus became my go to for accounts I didn’t want connected to my main online name.
It also says they’re going to be using Framework laptops which is equally cool!
