  • That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.

  • what are some great YouTube channels worth checking out?
  • Here's a few channels I like that post interesting content if you're into retro stuff.

    There's many more but these are the channels I highly recommend checking out.

  • GNOME Devs are rethinking the "Activities" button
  • I'm using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I'm so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don't care if they change it it's just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

  • Is Gentoo more-or-less pointless for the average Linux user?
  • The main benefit to using Gentoo is having complete control over your system. I've been a Gentoo user for nearly 6 years so the feeling of accomplishment has worn off long ago and now I feel like I'm using any distro which is a good thing. use flags come in handy when you want to install a desktop but none of the extra crap that's bundled with it or an application that has a feature that's disabled by default that you want to enable. Most packages take less than a minute to compile and on the stable branch, most of the big stuff only needs to update once in a while. From an outsider it sounds tryhardy to use Gentoo but in reality I'm using Firefox or playing a game while something compiles in the background which isn't as often as you think. I update once a week and it's usually 4 packages that take a minute to compile.

  • r(ul)edditors try not to give money to the people you’re criticizing challenge (impossible)
  • I supported sending a message on r/place but this is embarrassing

  • I Compiled the Linux Kernel myself for the first time
  • Nice! After the first time you get the hang of it but keep in mind, If you do make your own config you will have to recompile your kernel for any hardware that isn't automatically enabled in the config like graphics, touchpad, tablets, and other peripherals you will plug into your computer. Reading up on what hardware you have helps a lot but I still manage to forget something when I have to create my own config. Thankfully you can just transfer your config to the next kernel instead of creating it all over again.

  • Look what we're building at the center of r/place!
  • Great work guys. Now let's keep lemmy on there

  • "It has to be Chromium"
  • I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium's interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.

  • In which game did you spend the most hours?
  • Team Fortress 2 with 2075 hours and that's on an account I made 4 years ago. My old account had 3000+ hours.

  • What is your favorite open source software?
  • Linux, Firefox, OBS, Emacs, Hatari

  • I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It's pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I'll use it again someday

  • The thing I love about Linux is that you think you're set until you find out about some cool program you never used before and then you go down a huge rabbit hole learning how to use it and customizing it to your liking.

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • I'm in my early 20's but I do use Linux and and I'm a tech enthusiast. For now everybody here is 1 of the 3 but it will grow.

  • Memmy for iOS has hit the App Store
  • Thank you! I did not expect a lemmy app to be on the app store that fast!

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • Nothing enrages me more when you have a very specific problem and the only result is a reddit thread that's filled with jokes, irrelevant information, and no solution.

  • What's your opinion on Xenon 2?

    This game gets a lot of hype in the Amiga and Atari ST community but it's labeled as crap everywhere else. In my opinion the game looks great and could have been fun if it didn't suffer from awful hit detection which just ruins it for me. Most of the time your bullets pass right though the enemies which leads to a lot of bullshit deaths and makes you question why you're still playing. Is all the hype just nostalgia? I wonder what you guys think of this game.
