Meh. Most of the top comments are pretty reasonable.

fwiw, I'm now pretty darn happy with Linux and gaming. Granted, I use Steam, so there's that.

There are issues sometimes, but I just keep a copy of windows around for windows-only things. Generally, Linux "just works" for me, but I've also learned to just skip it when something requires too much involvement to get working.

Times change, and people are slow. 'Colored people' used to be the most PC, now it's an insult. Because it could, in any old fart's brain, be either the most PC thing or an insult, you never know if the person is doing so intentionally or not, which sucks because:

• if someone uses it unintentionally and people jump on them, that just makes them bitter
• someone who is racist can use not knowing as a smoke screen
• people who are really "with it" on social issues can also be quick to blame, and low on tolerance, and high on trauma or virtue signaling.

..the divide just grows until people resolve it inside themselves.

I think this might be interesting:

• permit separate, low-traffic, highly rate-limited, auth-only servers. They would be strictly rate-limited and only accept connections from whitelisted partner servers, because they only handle auth.
• any partner server can authenticate a user and handle content for the server/auth-server pair, but only does so under certain conditions (determined by the partner - all the time, when ping api call > n seconds, or manually, for example)
• [email protected] can't log in, so the client tries the list of partnered servers. user succeeds at lemmy.partner.net.
• [email protected]@partner.net says.. '..something' and all other servers accept it as being from [email protected]
• lemmy.world recovers,, and claims all of the @[email protected] posts. Partners then forget the extra stuff they've been hosting.

Be careful not to cross that line of request vs desperation.

Like on YouTube - A tasteful "don't forget to like and subscribe" is fine, but mentioning it multiple times during a video is just increasingly demanding or cringe.

Jerboa? Dead in mouse yrap. Liftof? V good much use.

Proper instruction.

Back buttons may have limited use. Someone was complaining that in xinput mode they didn't work.

It's been a little annoying. Anyways, thanks for thinking of FMHY.

..it wasn't what he said, it was the implication.

Someone else here, but eh.. ..he's ok. Like any human, he had some decent qualities and some crappy ones.

People with obvious power show their flaws obviously, but nobody's really fit to replace them, either. What you mostly get is 'If i was rich, I would...' ..but the reality is, most of those people would cave, and the institutions they led would either fall apart or become rudderless and decay.

Some people lead, and they do it until they crack, then they start to fall apart and others take over. Other people bitch, and shove wedges in the cracks and say 'we all knew he was an asshole all along!' then elevate someone else that they'll tear down later.

The leaders are by no means golden, but they aren't worse than the raise-up tear-down crowd, that's for sure.

Yeah, the reddit hate train is here. Choo Choo! We can't hang people anymore because that's not PC, but we sure as hell still have the hate for it! Let's worship people one day and then burn them the next, blaming our disillusionment on someone else rather than on our own illusions!
