Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@searchliaison I enjoyed it while it lasted, thanks :)
@rl_dane [*Thinks about doing it...*]
I feel like it's a key example of modern UI design gnome wrong.

Shameless plug… i have my digital discography 75% off in bandcamp today, includes lots of source files as well for those interested :slight_smile: https://laamaa.bandcamp.com
@laamaa Hey! Two days ago I bought a bunch of music off Bandcamp. I'm trying to slowly replace my streaming of music with music I actually own copies of. I'm not really a Spotify fan!
I've listened to some of your stuff before, like Controversy, so I took up your 75% offer and I'm gonna have fun listening to all these :D thank you!!

My ideal package manager design for a programming language:
Packages are downloaded over a P2P system, like BitTorrent or IPFS
The package manager runs as a daemon and seeds all downloaded packages
There is also a centralized site, which is a directory that maps packages to hashes/torrents; also has documentation and search
The site has an open API that other sites can replicate
Project files reference packages by both name/version and hash; the hashes remain valid even if the site goes down
The site has human moderation and handles detecting malware, spam, etc. and removing it
Package names always have a username prefix
The site's staff can choose to bless a package as the preferred implementation of some feature, giving it a non-prefixed name
@adam I wish almost everything was designed in this sort of way.
@rl_dane " Third, again, this is bad nod toward "simple" atomic distros, the Flatpaks and all that, whereby system and applications are separate. Nope. Wrong implementation."
I *completely* disagree with that, but yeah this guy sounds like me sometimes too 😆
@rl_dane The arguments against Wayland were weird. A 105% scaling setting in KDE isn't Wayland's fault. Scrot is an X11 screenshot tool, it shouldn't work the same in Wayland since Wayland was designed with security at least as a backburner concern.
And the resource utilization is usually better under Wayland, right? Could be a KDE or driver issue.

Why is #Discord using 2% CPU when it is just in the system tray and taking over a terabyte of virtual memory :/

@jimsalter it does feel as though we've gone from say little, do much to say much, do little in rather short order. But I think that's because we've also moved to a system that rewards those with fancy words, and the ability to motivate and/or otherwise stimulate people.
@Ki3_Games That's great 😆

@bemmesr For sure, keeping the truth as the goal takes discipline and is easy to mess up.
@bemmesr based on Mastodon, though they've been blocked by a number of servers due to allowing mostly free speech or something. I remember the whole rigmarole where people were trying to get them widely defederated.
You need to be in STEM to join Qoto though, I think....
@bemmesr I feel like debate fits forum-style social media... but the problem is, which platform? I know that there are Fediverse alternatives to Reddit (Lemmy and Kbin) but I've never been on those, so I can't vouch for them.
There's qoto.org. Might be worth a try. On their page, they advertise themselves as a place for civil discussion. They have a post limit of 65,535 chars (as opposed to the typical Mastodon 500), so they're better fit for bigger discussions. They federate and their code is
