I can’t quit i3. I know there are better window managers out there, but I know I’m going to want to change all the key bindings to feel like i3. I really want to try a dynamic tiler though.
I’m in the same boat. The thing that I miss with i3 is a way to layouts. I like my windows mostly fixed but if you close one, everything needs to be redone. Oh and there’s no way to work without stacking and tabbing…
I bounce around a lot, mainly between Qtile and Awesome WM because I like how it handles multiple monitors. You should check it out, there’s loads of premade configs on GitHub.
I only talk about linux when the post is about linux or about operating systems. I still get hate for it. I don’t get it and dont even bring up arch anywhere lol
It’s probably not necessarily aimed at you, but for some seen as the straw that broke the camels back because they’re overexposed to the subject and have had enough.
That being said, it’s hard to see that if you’re literally commenting on a Linux thread.
See the thing is that most of us USE LINUX. We just don’t need our content aggregation website to be 90% Linux when there’s specific communities for it.
He’s good in doing so, compared to the old guy with a neckbeared using his fingers to count to one. Oh, do you know his name? It’s Microsoft, named after his dick xD
I don’t care that much about Linux, but I did use it a bit in school. I still like seeing you guys argue about your favorite init system or whatever the hot topic is nowadays.
Some days most of what goes through my feed is Linux stuff, c/FuckCars, and hardcore communism and it feels like I’m in the wrong place. Most of the time I enjoy myself though.
“I’ll stop driving my car just as soon as Putin releases the open source drivers for my tank.”
– Lemmy, probably
“I’ve taken to calling it ‘GNU/Communism’, or ‘GNU slash Communism’, because…”
– also Lemmy, probably
“Why are Linux mascots like a Russian commune? Because degenerate capitalists come to our land and freeze while we huddle together safe in our car-less utopia!”
Getting really tired of this “the fediverse needs to cater to normie interests because we’re here now and it’s what we deserve” attitude. If you can’t find a community to click with, you can always create one, join one you don’t know much about with an open mind, or don’t use the fediverse if it doesn’t have the content you like. Sorry to say it but you’re not special and no existing users on any social media platform is obligated to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the platform.
Same with the “your open source, community developed platform/client sucks! I demand you make the UX better because I the user deserve better! No I’m not going to donate to your development fund because you suck and need to be better before you deserve my money!” sentiments that I see on Lemmy more and more now. Seems like everyone just expects corporate level user experience and customer service from people developing open source software mostly for free as passion projects. Even after the numerous corporate boondoggles that drove people to the fediverse in the first place people aren’t the slightest bit willing to change their paradigms regarding how social media should be run.
The small community here is what makes it good. I prefer to gatekeep even more to prevent “low quality” users who think they’re entitled to everything.
You forgot “Lemmy is developed by tankies so someone that isn’t me should fork it and work their asses off so I feel more comfortable for some reason.”
Communist who believe that any criticism of china is racism, think the ussr did nothing wrong and a lot of them support Russia in the Ukraine war at the moment
How do you go about discovering new communities? I’ve been scrolling All but the amount of communities that shows up is very limited (at least considering I blocked all the foreign language and political ones)
I don’t know how I forgot about the sorting options, that stills limits me to the communities that have been connected to my instance right? I saw somewhere that each instance only syncs the communities the users from that instance have followed or something of the style
I mean, do the people at the fediverse really talk mainly about Linux? I see in both Lemmy and Mastodon more people talking about US politics, LGBTQ+ stuff and furrys (lmao) than anything related to technology in general. I guess the kind of content someone sees would depend a lot on the instance someone creates their account in?
I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.
Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.
But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
Hopefully all the different clients will soon support good blocking. With connect for android I can block instances and keywords, but I most just continually block on a community basis what I don’t want to see from All. I’m sure there are hundreds in there. This keeps it quite relevant for me but I’m still in the flow of seeing new subs. I do subscribe to all the ones I really like.
So it’s a curation process, but a more active one vs trying to hunt subs down like I used to do with Reddit.
Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.
I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs
