I’ve been using Gnome for multiple years now and I don’t plan on switching. Also love GOA in general for the simplicity and ease of use.

However

I wish there was a generic WebDAV/caldav account type. I know you can integrate those using evolution, but why the extra steps? It seems like such a no-brainer considering there is already Nextcloud integration in place.

Ouch

You can deactivate this text in the settings. I did the same because the German translation has the same issue.

Linux ist mostly used for servers, where you rarely need/have a graphical environment. A big part of development is making sure to keep the kernel safe and prevent endangering critical infrastructure.

That said, I agree if Linux is to be adopted more widely as a desktop system, good graphical UI is crucial. It’s just not the focus of most Linux devs.

Fair point, although !baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world seems to go fairly well, but the fact that it’s a recent game is probably helping.

Will do!

For some reason I did not find this community before. I will try to contribute there. Thank you!

Amongst others I’m currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in coop mode.

I absolutely love it (I’m also a huge fan of Dragon Age Origins, so no surprise here).

I just wish cut scenes wouldn’t just start playing as soon as one of the players walks into them. Especially since the game is so dense with content (we are still relatively at the beginning though, maybe that changes later on).

I know with most dialogs everybody has the option to listen, but often you’re still going to miss the beginning of the conversation. A “wait for other players” button or something like that would be great.

How do other people handle this?

Let’s all make a test, what does this post look like from your instances:

I agree that the downvotes on your posts in the Jerboa community are rather strange. My theory is that people who downvote your more controversial stuff subsequently go through your whole profile and just downvote everything regardless of content.

Strange, when I look at OPs history, I see quite a few in the negative. Maybe it’s because I’m from a different instance?

I hope you get better soon!

I never really understood it myself. But from what I’ve heard from people who are (or rather were) regular Twitter users, they like to follow celebrities or specific journalists (people who have actual interesting things to say). Those people are often not on Mastodon, though.

I think you make a great point. It’s easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).

Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.

I like Pika Backup. It’s a frontend for borgbackup that also let’s you mount and browse your archive with a few clicks. I think it’s pretty handy on a desktop PC. And since it uses borgbackup you also get encryption with it.

This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial.

But controversy is good, it generates attention. My fear is that the “optimized” artificial celebrity will be exactly that and it will be a whole new level of shitshow. When you think about it, there are already people who maintain “controversial” public personas for that exact reason (not naming any, since I don’t want to give them more attention), so it’s not even that far fetched.

“Add toggle in settings to hide descriptions in navbar”

YES, as someone who uses the German version of Jerboa, I was waiting for this!

Thanks for the clarification! I’d like to add that this site long predates the whole crypto currency craze. I can see how nowadays the name “cryptopals” does not evoke the best associations.

I’m my opinion, the “basics” set is relatively tame. After that, the headaches might begin, especially if one wants to understand all the math behind it.

Does anybody know what happens to posts/comments belonging to the deleted account?

I used Jabber + Pidgin + OTR plugin for quite a while, also hosted my own Prosody server. But I never perceived it as a mainstream thing. Most people I knew used ICQ.
