I’ve tried Mastrodon and PeerTube, but bounced off both due to a lack of quality content. On Mastrodon, the only person I found worth following was Technology Connections, and on PeerTube, I didn’t find any of the more scripted and/or well-editted videos that I normally enjoy.

I haven’t tried PieFed yet, but might consider switching at some point given Lemmy’s idology, and increasingly present shortcomings.

I’ve having trouble even telling what he’s trying to say or achive. Like, at first, it seems like complaining about mass downvotes from /all, which is reasonable enough, but then it just deteriorates into nonsense.

Edit: Looks like thats all it is. Just very, very immaturely and incoherently. Nothing particularly mental, just a kid (or someone of similar maturity) salty about downvotes.

To be fair, between the overzealous pushes from the Linux evangelists, the lack of accessible documentation, the buggyness of some of the common software, and the heavily-relied-upon community support, its usually very hard to tell if your experience will go smoothly or not.

For example, previously, when I had problems with Linux Mint, it was with a pretty bog-standard B350m mobo’s built-in sound. According to the dozen or so people I consulted over it, it should have worked, but for whatever reason, didn’t. More recently, I decided to take another shot. I knew my mouse (A Razor Naga X) wasn’t supported, but google told me Open-Razer covered all the important functionality. This turned out to be wrong, as Open-Razer was mostly for customizing RGB and lacked core functionality like button rebinding.

Don’t get me wrong, I still use Linux on some secondary devices, and consider it a (mostly) viable Windows alternative, but blaming all the problems on users ignores the massive number of issues with current Linux desktop.

I believe Lemmy itself is shrinking. Last I checked Fediverse Observer, it was on a downward trend (although not drastically). That said, that excludes PieFed. I think when including PieFed we’re probably growing (very) slowly.

Yeah, that was a fun job… at least the database tended to have some descriptive column names. They never lined up with the entity they mapped to, but it was better than nothing.

Nope, voting counts too, so a lot of lurkers are included.

Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.

It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.

Also… TBH if a mouse doesn’t work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It’s not like it’s a mechanical keyboard or something.

I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn’t even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I’m stuck with, given that I can’t afford a new one.

Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.

OpenRazer unfortunately doesn’t support rebinding buttons.

Are you sure its the same as the Naga X, because I’m 99% sure the Naga X doesn’t have on-board memory? The earlier and more expensive ones do, but the X is the cheapo option.

My mouse isn’t Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.

What kind of mouse are you using anyway?

Razer Naga X. I spent all day yesterday trying to get it working in Mint, but had no luck. Nothing supports button rebinding, nonetheless DPI changes with button remapping.

Edit: made it slightly more clear

I mean, if the marketing is lying about the product, it will probably demoralize developers in a similar way and for the same reasons.

Any sort of in-depth discussion about games (War Thunder, Dota, CS, and a few others), talk about TV and books (although my tastes are admittedly more niche there), occationally subreddits for niche subjects where I can ask for support, some more general lifestyle communities, and local communities. Basically, everything but news and politics.

I feel like the only things I might be known for are whining about Lemmy not having enough content, and saying tea is salad water.

You mean cm0002@sh.itjust.works?

I know them for being the only other person posting to c/Dota2!

Basically, you’re looking for a play-by-email or early Facebook style game, with asynchronous turns?

I mean, theres the obvious answer that the world sucks right now. Even in the richest country in the world, large parts are the population are starving and/or homeless.

That said, your argument seems to conflate “nature” with “reality”. The answer to that is that nature is generally very bad for us. Bugs and animals will try to eat us if given a chance - killing us first is a luxury often not afforded. Plants, trying to avoid being eaten, are poisonous almost as often as not. With the limited availablility of food in nature, starvation is common. Even common diseases can kill hundreds of thousands without the use of modern medicine. We build and innovate to get away from all this. We build houses and weapons to protect ourselves from the elements and the animals. We develop pesticides and GMOs because they’re easier to grow and more nutritious, making feeding ourselves cheaper. We develop medicine to save billions of lives that would otherwise be lost. Being natural doesn’t mean something is good for us, and in fact generally means the opposite.

I personally like B, J, and I. Of those I is my favorite, since it feel like its doing a better job trying to represent the country in a visual way.
