Out of curiosity, what problems are you having with the drivers? I have a GTX 1070ti graphics card and the drivers for it have been ok on Linux, the integration hasn’t been as smooth as Windows but I haven’t had any problems.

Thunder and wefwef are also pretty good. I really like the gesture controls on them though, so that may be biasing me a bit.
The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I’m guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.
Essentially yes, that’s what we need. Unfortunately, that type of functionality is still limited, though I hope with the more advanced third-party apps on the way we’ll get a sort of pseudo-support for it in the mean time.
Because the goal was to ban third party apps and they don’t want people trying to dodge it. u/spez seems to be personally offended by their existence and wants them gone.
Yeah, I think this is done to provide the illusion of choice. The rate limits are high enough to allow personal emails through, but for any mass emails or corporate emails this forces you to use Google. Unfortunately a standard corporate strategy, it’s why corporate office suites are so generic and tend to be from one of the big companies.
I figured I’ll write up a tldr on Embrace, Extend, Extinguish in case you aren’t really feeling reading the articles.
Embrace: Meta builds a federated Twitter/Reddit alternative, potentially called Threads but is right now P92, that follows the ActivityPub standard almost perfectly. Various Lemmy and KBin instances federate with them and share information. Users from Facebook and Instagram flood into P92, making it one of the largest instances.
Extend: P92 starts adding nice, but proprietary features to their system. The allure of these features begins drawing users off of other instances to P92. Those instances are upset, but Meta insists it’s doing nothing wrong, continues to follow the ActivityPub standard in some form, and tells the other instances to just implement the features themselves.
Extinguish: Meta announces that due to incompatibility, they are withdrawing from the standard and defederating from everyone. Most users of this software are now on P92, and thus don’t mind. Meta gets a fully populated Twitter/Reddit alternative, and the remaining ActivityPub instances wither. Without user support, the standard fails, and a new open source alternative is created to replace it.
That strategy has been used to kill other open source protocols, and many people are worried it will happen again. My personal opinion is that servers should only federate with Meta if they follow the standard perfectly, and if they deviate even a little bit they should be universally defederated via software changes, but I’m sympathetic to the people that would rather be proactive than reactive.
This is an example of internet speed meaning two very different things
The Verge’s coverage of this so far has been really good. It’s probably because they think drama like this will get a lot of clicks, but even still I’ve enjoyed their articles.
I like it when various programs at least ask before invasively scraping my data. If asked, I’ll often say yes because I want to help the developers, but when it’s silent and in the background I have no control and I don’t like that
I’m going to be honest, I think that this is a case where companies will always dodge the rules unless the consequences are so severe they’re unwilling to risk it. Something like forced downsizing, or a fine proportional to annual revenue. That would make companies significantly more hesitant to try and tread the line.
It’s mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/[email protected] as the community for the new project.
Yeah, this happens a lot, especially when I’m tired. Luckily, I usually leave cues for myself so that I remember what I was doing.
