It does give anti-SystemD "why make new when what we got now is good vibes".

Their Java bashing was more a criticism of design patterns than Java, but fell into the meme bashing of tech based on one example. Find an old bug and say tech is dreadful as a result.

It just turned legitimate points into meme bashing. Makes me doubt it. Comes across more like the anti-SystemD folk.

No one is going all in, and once distros retire it, it's dead. Jumping before distros because you have a rush of blood to the head isn't particularly helpful.

My hardware has no Nvidia, but getting screen recording on Wayland was a royal pain in the backside. Functionally, x11 just works better for me right now. When they iron this stuff out and make it effortless, great, but until then, the software still needs maturing.

It doesn't need new features and I'm pretty sure any bugs, vulnerabilities will still get ironed out. We both know Wayland will kill x11. The point is, considering we are both using x11, why should a new person from Windows need it now?

In a few years, my position would be different, but for now, mileage varies and many face use cases it doesn't yet cover. X11 is mature and mostly just works.

Why does it matter? What user really cares if it's Wayland or x11? Software is about solving problems for the user. Mint is far superior to Windows.

Sent from KDE with x11...

Because it offers new features to immature software still in development.

It gives snowflakes like yourself the ability to block woke instances so your limited brain capacity isn't overwhelmed. It also gives scaled sort, the ability to see niche sub's with less content higher up, so you can see the latest content from your favourite country music communities or about the latest NASCAR race in which people take the same turn constantly for hours on end rly fast.

Dat's some good shizz and worth updating for, surely?

Gotta love those communists that build Lemmy and give you this much joy. That do the hard stuff like running updates and testing so anyone of any (limited) ability can enjoy :).

I'm not sure I agree with the premise of this. Its approaching it as if it is psychological. We have already seen studies that have shown conditions like this such as ME/CFS and long covid have a physiological component to them.

Any positive result of this is likely because of either more exposure to the outside world which could fit in with pacing, or patients feeling happier and the pain, fatigue feeling less of a burden.

It would be nice if they spent more studies testing approaches based on actual conditions rather than reapplying silver bullets to everything. CBT is a useful psychological treatment, but physiological conditions need a physiological approach.

Edit: imagine applying CBT with cancer and patients feeling happier and less pain. It doesn't mean it treated the condition, it treated symptoms or emotions. These approaches feel like a joke.

I'm a dirty fucker, and that is the first I've heard of it. It may be your bag, but it ain't common or commonly known.

They probably don't want their opinion or won't consider it anyway.

Imagine if their users said no. Would their benevolent dictators decide Lemmy is actually fine?

I don't think you guys cared when you defederated from the rest of the fediverse and turned up your nose at everyone else. I'm not sure why you care now. You guys go and do your thing, but I don't think you're very relevant to the fediverse.

You speak very vaguely, and I don't think you're being fully honest with your reasoning, but by this point, I don't think it really matters.

Why not just use Reddit? It is huge, and mainstream?

Product owners, you mean. They are the ones that determine support level of browser and as a result, what testers focus on. Devs don't focus on things that aren't a priority because otherwise they're working on that on the evenings and weekends free of charge.
