Yeah it gave me a clear recommendation for nixos which I use. But it’s rationale about many distros I’ve enjoyed in the past were suspect as hell, acting like they had big marks against them because they don’t update often, when I said that I preferred stability.

Edit: out force full composition pipeline to keep the compositor on.

Let’s cut to the logical conclusion.

Rock vs Stick

Yeah just turn off the compositor if you’re in kde and start noticing slowing in the UI after installing the Nvidia drivers.

My dumb ass didn’t figure that out before just reinstalling, then encountering the issue when adding Nvidia again.

Had I not been a total dipshit, I would’ve just removed clauses from the config until the issue went away, so I could pinpoint the issue. But the problem is that I’m a bonehead.

Yes. But what kind of person needs to be told this stuff? The kind of person that already knows about WEI and that most mainstream browsers are chrome based except ff?

No. This message, then, isn’t for you and me, is it? Normal folks out there will hear that chrome is the issue and they’ll switch to edge. The suggestion, while not technically accurate, achieves the goal much more efficiently.

I just copied my library to a properly formatted drive. No duplicate downloads were needed.

Well put

Only if you’re cool with the privacy policy though. It’s in a gray area for me, but worth mentioning to the type of person that wants to be on federated social media.

I don’t know if this is oversimplified. Probably is. But this is my understanding of it too.

It’s more than an individual greed problem. It’s a systemic mandatory greed problem.

You really just aren’t interested in boxing with anything but your own shadow, huh?

You’ve got all these assertions and things I’ve tasked you with doing, yet I never did and clearly indicated so in my previous post.

But goddamn, that’s the only way you’ll keep the egg off your face. If you can just make it look like I said that stuff. Right?

Pound sand. You’ve pissed me off with that disingenuous fuckin bullshit. You know exactly what you’re doing and I loathe it.

But coming into a thread about ways to ensure Lemmy gets the support it needs to develop and instances get the support they need to keep going to tell everyone how much you love your app is infantile.

This is what I was responding to.

Let me make a list of things that would be “stupid” to take from this.

• That you are answerable for what others have said.
• That you are among those that were prodding Sync users.

Here’s the message that I got from what you said

• Standing up for yourself is infantile

Feel free to tell me why my paraphrasing was inaccurate. That’s the only useful direction this conversation can go from here. Not whatever the fuck direction that was that you just tried to take it in.

Fair point. You know as you read through comments of a thread, you sometimes allow the original message to meld with the messages of most comments? I just did that, and should not have.

Let me rephrase to “because of the sync mention by the OP, there is a preponderance of lecturing coming from the FOSS purist community. It is infantile to expect no response to that”.

I don’t think the Lemmy devs are getting that much either from funding. I feel like an attitude of supporting all tiers that make this place work will be necessary.

The “everything ever should be FOSS” cult keeps prodding people that disagree with them, gets angry when those folks argue back, then calls them a cult instead because they “won’t shut up”.

You got a lot more in common with MAGAs than you fuckin realize, damn.

(General support for FOSS is not a cult)

The OP called people out for using that specific app. Getting mad that they’re not taking it lying down? That is infantile.

Edit: this is inaccurate. Rephrased below

Excuse me. I’m trying to make people feel bad here.

I’ll gladly wait one second, or ten, to never see a newsletter overlay again.

Yep. That’s my personal open source project setup. I love nixos. It’s everything I like about dockerfile and a daily driver all rolled into one.

Tall ask for the workplace with a bunch of windows only folks, though, unfortunately.

Edit: I just realized you said nixos on WSL2. My bad. That’s freaking awesome, and that window manager is slick. Nice digs.

I have to have to parity with our deployments in DevOps, where debian is preferred. It’s not the worst. But I think I’m going to make a separate distro for my own personal Linux work, like you did.

I had to use Windows since I do research and development on our development team architecture. Gotta have parity there too. But that doesn’t mean I can’t cheat a bit like you, lol.

For this reason, we’re slowly integrating WSL2 usage onto the dev windows machines. I’m not saying that this refutes your last point, but it’s another thing to consider. This has, however, resulted in me learning to architect pretty gonzo level bash scripts when I’m accustomed to… more formal development. Lol.
