Bizzle

Always has been 🙍‍♂️🔫🌎

I spent three days trying to get pulseaudio to work, 10 out of 10 can’t recommend enough

Ugh I switched to Arch full time 5 years ago and I had to walk to the servers uphill both ways in the snow. Kids today don’t know how good they have it.

I’ve never heard that take before. Can you explain why you think there should be more apps instead of using the browser?

I was on Ubuntu, then I switched to Debian, then Mint. Then I was like wow if this is so good I’m gonna try some more, and I dove headfirst. I didn’t run a distro more than a couple hours sometimes, never more than a week.

Then I found Manjaro, which I tried and liked well enough except for all the Manjaro shit. I decided then that I could install Arch, how hard could it be? So I did, it took me like 3 days and I broke it dozens of times but I eventually got there (with sound even!) shortly before they brought back the install script. I want to try Gentoo but I don’t have time to compile everything, I understand they ship binaries now which I think is sweet but I’m happy with Arch.

I like Arch for it’s KISS philosophy, the DIY attitude with which you approach it, the fine-grained control over every (most) part of the system, the AUR. But my favorite thing about Arch is the Wiki. It’s such a great resource, and yeah it applies to more than just Arch but like … why?

I use Arch btw

I don’t put anything on my desktop but if I put Firefox in my krunner (alt-f2) box the flatpak shows up right away after installation

They don’t care about e-waste; they care about money. And of course, you can sell a lot more bargain basement laptops if they have an expiration date.

Valorant is a trash tier game and I can’t believe anyone plays it

I just read all of them, there’s a bunch of names doubled up on different colors, 5/10

All the furry shit really turned me off in the beginning, I’m glad that all the new content watered it down a little. It used to be like every other post was some furry shit. I respect just about everyone, except for furries. Those guys are fucking gross.

The flag on the left is a real eyesore, is that really what it’s supposed to look like now?

I’m not gonna lie I chow some Silver’s about once a year and I’m glad it’s surviving

I think you’re right, I may have misinterpreted the documentation. I attached a screenshot below.

I have my own Lemmy instance running on my home server, but I’m here. “But Bizzle,” you may be asking yourself, “why go through all the trouble of configuring your own instance just to wind up on Lemmy.World anyway?”

I’m glad you asked! And the answer is that federation only fetches parent comments. I’m glad Lemmy exists, and I’m going to keep using it, but we need federated sibling comments for this to actually be good, in my opinion.

EDIT: I actually couldn’t have been more wrong.
