Using that site and doing my instance to Lemmyworld , your site is listed under the working ones. I know spam has been on the rise again on big instances, so that could be playing a part in this also.

You can change the default file manager. I’ve been using Nemo for years because Nautilus was pretty bad. Once I update I’ll have to re-evaluate and see what I think.

For under Linux I found this, and for under macOS I found this.

I think Debian has a place in the Desktop market, it’s just not gamers or anyone wanting anything new (unless they of course go the flatpak route). Not a perfect analogy, but it’s kinda like gaming on Windows 7 these days because it “just works” for you. Sure you can, but you’re not getting the best of anything that way and all the underlying libraries are outdated and some things just aren’t going to work at all.

And still is, as Google still has it on the first page of results for “Ubuntu without snaps”.

If you want, or are interested in looking at an easier to manage Arch install I would suggest CachyOS, EndeavorOS, or Garuda Linux.

I think if we could drag users (at least gamers) away from these Debian/Ubuntu based distros we could have developers just shipping packages that wouldn’t need to be compatible with some ancient LTS library release, and maybe we wouldn’t need appimage/flatpak/snap at all anymore (or at least only in rare cases).

I’m sure Canonical’s neverending death march towards Snap, along with the OS running outdated packages, is why Valve no longer uses Ubuntu for SteamOS development. The greatest April Fools was Ubuntu dropping Snaps because so many people were saying how they could go back to using Ubuntu again…then they noticed it was a joke and the sadness set in.

xfce4-terminal - because it’s easy to config, I like tabs, and it has good Unicode support.

Yeah, how Ubuntu is supposed to be noob friendly and continues to be recommended blows my mind. Seems like every stupid app you want to install needs you to add a ppa that is almost guaranteed to break on the next major update. And ugh snaps …

This could be a long shot, but since your instance is running on a .zip TLD it could be blocked at a webserver level (the whole .zip TLD not your instance specifically) like a lot of admins did when they were launched.

Elden Ring, Uncharted, and God of War absolutely work because on Linux is the only way I’ve played any of them. Starfield has been the only game recently that did not (still doesn’t) work on Linux via Steam without issue. And Starfield is a Nvidia issue not really a Linux issue.

This might be helpful to someone that hasn’t done a dual boot gaming benchmark to know that they can now stop dual booting and just run Linux. It has been years of conditioning for some being told that for best performance you had to play in Windows.

It’s not really a bug though, as it is working as intended. You may not like that implementation, so you would want to see an enhancement to the code.

I agree with those that say if you cannot live with the filter you should pick a new instance. Part of this whole experiment is that each admin is going to go with defaults they are comfortable with, and as a user you need to be respectful of those, or move on.

I do you agree with you that REDACTED works better in this case than “removed”, as I always see “removed” as a user action for whatever reason. Even the use of something like FILTERED would immediately alert the user and others that the original word(s) was/were removed and a basic understanding of why (it triggered the slur filter somehow).

I guess I would also go and change the “slur” filter language to just language filter, as not everyone is going to agree on everything an admin may want to filter being a “slur”, it could be any taboo word in that admins location.

Correct it does not, it looks like this by default.

I think it’s partly an older packages you have to source new versions of elsewhere kind of issue, and that you don’t have with a rolling release. Not entirely user error, but these types of distros suggested for newer users seems like just a way to push new users away the when the 1st major update and OS goes belly up. Ubuntu broke basically every major update before I moved away from it. Great for a server where you’re not looking for new software/drivers and just want stability, horrible for a desktop IMHO.

I believe Beeper is Matrix under the hood. They have just made it more accessible with a new interface and pre-installed bridges.

You would be much better off getting a seedbox and then grabbing your ISOs of it when complete.

But you are still obligated to always act in the best interest of the shareholders. Private means you don’t answer to anyone outside the company and are not forced to do everything to pump the stock price every quarter.
