Thank you for the clarification, I'm still confused about what "Pro" really offers. And also for the donation link!

I was glad to find a fediverse community about my absolutely mostest favouritest hero. Thank you.

You mention "manga", but I suppose posts about the anime are welcome too?

I have tried the open-source drivers from time to time (last one v530) on a Thinkpad X1 Extreme and KDE Plasma (X11). Every time I switched to the open-source driver, the laptop unfortunately started to become uncomfortably hot – although the graphics card seemed to be working properly.

I looked on the net about this, and I remember reading that the open-source drivers were still in the testing phase. Sorry for not remembering more than this.

This question has got me thinking for quite some time. I don't know what kind of topics you have in mind when you say "comprehensive" and "relevant"; I personally think about scientific topics right now. Unfortunately I've seen situations where scientifically incorrect answers get upvoted – simply because they're put in a charming way for example, or they sound technical and expert (but the jargon is actually misused), or enjoy other purely rhetorical aspects. In the end what's correct is not detemined by a majority vote, but by logic and experiment (that's how the scientific method started).

But maybe you are speaking about other kinds of topic, because "comprehensive" or "relevant" don't fully apply to my example. Yet, I'm doubtful.

Cool book tangentially related to this topic: The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread by O'Connor & Weatherall.

Wow didn't know about this... It' be cool if Lemmy used a reaction-based rather than vote-based system...

I think I understand, it sounds similar to what happens with python and the "environments" often needed to work with apps that use it. Thank you for the info!

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

Doesn't that lead to huge redundancy – say, multiple java copies effectively existing in the system? And also to software not optimized for the system (I assume flatpaks are pre-compiled)?
