I don’t do photo editing (Gimp) or drawing (Krita) but I have followed many aggregated blogs such as Planet KDE, etc over the years.

I got the feeling that most people have a hard time moving or transiting to Gimp. I have seen some posts from people who love Gimp but they seem to be a miniority. On the other hand, I got the feeling the drawing community love Krita and think it’s worth learning. Krita even shows up in unexpected places such as Godot tutorials on YouTube.

This may sound cheesy but this list is the healthy way to solve the issue people had with Lemmy.ml moderation. Thank you for compiling it, I didn’t reliaze there were instances for programming and anime. Glad to see a solution where we didn’t have to go through the adults (admins and mods in this case).

Also, it’s healthy for the fediverse to see communities spread on to many instances but it does make Lemmy harder for your average redditor to understand (but long term goal of a healthy fediverse is more important).

Also !greentext@sh.itjust.works is a bit more active than !4chan@lemmy.world

Yes, it is. Which genocide are they denying? Is it the Uyghurs?

selectively purge the modlog

Now this would be a good reason to defederate from an instance. Modlog is what keeps mods consistent (right now I don’t like the Lemmy.ml mods rulebrick but at least they were open about what they don’t like).

Hating their opinion is not a reason to defederate. Legitimate reasons are general harrasment (stalking specific individuals), racism, bigotry, CP, derailing entire threads (not just disagreement on a comment), etc.

A user’s ability to participate in a Linux community should not depend on them refraining from posting criticism about China or Russia.

I agree 100% with this statement. That’s not enough of a reason to defederate in my opinion. We need a better /c/Linux on our instance. It’s just that Lemmy.ml has more FOSS lovers.

There’s no need to defederate from Lemmy.ml. I rarely see their content on the front page of Lemmy.world. The other day someone complained that Lemmy.ml users were brigading a different thread. I counted three users with a ml domain…

We have different admins and mods, everything is working as intended. The issue is people bringing up tankies, communists, and China every three posts. Yes, we get it, the benevolent people who wrote us this software are communists. They allow us to have different mods and admins, there is no problem here.

Honestly, I wouldn’t post to /c/worldnews@lemmy.ml even though I’m happy with how pro-Palestine those people are. The only community I look at Lemmy.ml is /c/linux@lemmy.ml. It’s not their fault no one posts to the Lemmy.world instance.

I think it’s time to start banning users who troll other instances and cross pollinate the fediverse with drama.

I understand it’s a costly upgrade but at the end they would get the independence of government that many of them claim to want. But I get your point, people will lack what they can’t afford.

@dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de MicroOs (Gnome version called Aeon and KDE version called Kalpa) will make OS updating and installing programs as easy as Android. MicroOS is essentially a locked down version of Tumbleweed (that sacrifices being able to customize for ease of maintenance).

The base is there. Linux is as easy as Windows at the moment for MOST tasks. Yes, it’s nice that the manufacture set up the drivers on Windows but that is not the fault of Linux. The OpenSuse installer is very good at recognizing hardware off a clean install.

edit: grammar

Doesn’t solar make your household independent from a big energy company? You would think conservatives in the sticks would especially appreciate renewable energy.

Yes, but same applies on windows. Window still needs to be maintained as well.

Personally, I think we reached the point where most users would be fine. Once they switch, then the more professional applications will come.

I wish Tumbleweed would be used more. It’s easy to install (but the installer is being rewritten anyways). Also, I have updated it on a laptop that was 2 years behind (because of lack of use). It updated perfectly and even proprietary software like Zoom just worked.

2023 was the year of the Linux Desktop. Wayland + pipewire gives us a base to have modern features but it took a long time to reach this point.

I do understand the issue was more complicated than “misogyny”. I do think it was unfair to simply waive away experiences as yours but I’m sure being labeled as toxic was due to a misunderstanding.

I don’t have a solution to these problems myself (nor do I fully understand them). I do want to point out there are cultures out there who absolutely will not allow women to travel without a chaperone. Most outside of these cultures would call this misogyny while others will point out the same sentiments of this meme. Meaning I do understand why this meme was created and as pointed out beforehand, I get why some would oppose it.

The most accurate response I can think of is many people on Lemmy want to be technically right (and I am no exception to this myself). You can see this in our many debates if the Democrats are a hindrance or the “best of the temporary solutions we have” in our debates in the best way to eventually form a working government.

The post in question (man vs bear) summarizes how much fear men have caused women throughout history in meme hyperbole fashion. Most people would “just get the point” that the meme is actually making. Women have suffered a lot from men. However, some of these Lemmy users correctly point out that its predatory behavior that should be called out; not “man vs woman”. After all, anyone regardless of age, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc. can be a predator. The meme is correct but those who oppose the meme are “technically correct” as well.

When you forget to set a base condition on your recursive method.

One of our suburbs used to have this rule. It kind of fizzled out due to unnecessarily large cars for a suburb environment becoming normal.

Isn’t that because AI are trained on human content and fed copyrighted content to spring board off?

At this point the EU should just set a timer for complaining that Microsoft uses Windows’ large market share to force services on their users. I do like efficient governments.

Because transgender (anti)rights have nothing to do with religion; it’s simply the transgender people’s turn to be thrown under the bus so the conservatives can continue virtue signalling.

You are very correct. This is why we argue so much on Lemmy; so many people think you have to pick between two sides.
