A lot worse. Was tired of the [removed] trope whenever mods did something incredibly stupid.

Star Trek memes are the only things keeping me on platform lmao

Guy is hundred percent right. Lemmy is a echo chamber for a certain demographic as vast majority of users are in it.

We either have tech, or politics. Literally every topic ends up in either. We also don’t have the differing opinions aspect as just about every debater talks like they’re just the different shade of the same color.

Even spicy news that would make any other site a warzone of opinions just echo chambered here. Literally everyone agrees on one conclusion and random two comments that disagree with that having at least -15 points.

Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.

Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.

Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.

Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).

I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

I tend to disagree. I’m trying to integrate Blender to my work flow and I find very difficult to do so. Simply because 95% of it is accessed through arbitrary button combinations and has no GUI counterpart. This in turn makes the learning curve a cliff, which I really don’t consider a pleasant experience.

Also you can’t track viewport with a camera easily. Something that literally every other 3D app I’ve ever used allows you to do.

Only the bugs are gone. Weird design decisions and some horrendous mechanics are still here. It’s still isn’t an incredible game, but not a bad game either.

Very different games and very different expectations of effort spent. I’ve space trucked a lot in Elite, spending hours going back and fort. But it was never dull, more of a relaxing experience.

That comment stems from games failure to live up to its promises.

This game was marketed as an explorers game with 1000 planets to see, for example.

None of those planets have even the half of the content Skyrim/Fallout has. None of those planets are barren as Elite’s planets, either. You can’t traverse them more than 30 minutes, so it doesn’t even scratch NMS itch. People that liked the exploration of any of those four games would dislike this games exploration very much.

The person above was probably expecting a more lively game, like any other Bethesda game and got whatever this is instead. It’s completely justified to be disappointed.

Landing or taking off isn’t interrupted with a loading screen in either game. You also have freedom of pointing ship to a direction and go there.

Those two things combine to make you feel like you are moving around the game world as opposed to game world moving around you.

4km any direction if I’m not mistaken. Takes me around 30 minutes to each it.

It’s very, very small actually.

I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn’t guarantee such.

This is a reaaaaly specific thing to think about, you okay?

Did they lift the “only curated extensions” bullshit yet? I’m on Kiwi just to be able to run my own (unpacked) extensions that FF doesn’t let me do so.

It was really slow before Quantum happened and it’s smooth sailing ever since imo.

Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.

But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going “if it’s rendered it’s intractable.” This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it’s actually faster.

Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.

Being paid. Sync runs ads normally. Although he could go in the old Slide route.

Then the distro doesn’t matter that much. You shouk go for either Snaps or Flatpaks for applications as they won’t break the system even if something catastrophic happens.

Personally I’d go for distros with great deal of support (Pop, Fedora and Mint) and put Flathub as the main source in the respective app stores. Smaller distros tend to have more issues that requires some troubleshooting at times.

Check how does she uses Ubuntu first though, if she’s using the Canonical’s additions to Gnome a lot, she’ll have a horrible time with vanilla Gnome as it’s pretty barebones, that’ll rule out any distro with vanilla Gnome such as Fedora. Trust me, you don’t want to be babysitting your partners computer.

If she’s coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon
