Firefox hasn’t broken like that for me in years, it tells me it needs to restart because it was upgraded in the background and restores the session perfectly, usually

Over 30 years of support :)

Well you can run doom on Linux, so obviously yeah

With Windows if you don’t have a tpm you have to get a whole new computer lol

That should obviously be help!! like with sudo

Two “program files” folders, user and generic “appdata”, wherever the user unpacks things, yeah

comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions

Lmao, amazing

Graphene is absolutely the best choice for that exact situation, please do look into it more. It is far ahead of anything else for enabling you to stay safe. You do still have to make sure to set it up correctly, which takes some careful reading, but the instructions are out there.

to be able to serve ads it has to track you to some extent

Yeah but this is just a lie, they just choose advertising providers that work like that

Can you fiddle up a weird black screen with lots of $ and # symbols? Yes, its a Unix and its probably Linux.

You heard it here first folks, windows is a Unix and probably Linux!

“just”

Generically, two things can be wrong at the same time, sure, but here the two things aren’t independent. If we “can blame the DNC for several things: ignoring constituents, skipping primaries, etc.” then we are saying that that is the cause of people not voting for them, which is how trump got reelected.

I have seen a lot of people blame “the voters” or people who didn’t vote or whatever, and that is often to a degree which implicitly absolves the DNC for their role in alternating them. Can’t really have it both ways.

No, I don’t think that’s sustainable, nor is it sustainable to act as if it were true. Given the lack of resources we have compared to Google or Meta et al., the only way to make it work is to stick with something for the long run, and bake in protections in both the technology and the organisational structure. Being opensource and federated goes a long way there, there’s no real reason why something not for profit would have to enshittify. But people won’t put in the effort to keep building it if they think that’s inevitable.

It’s not “again” for anything you’ve written in this comment thread.

And you specifically suggested that these numbers can’t be extrapolated, i.e. that they are not a trend. If it’s indeed a trend for Lemmy to have 200% yoy growth then yeah, I’d think that’d be pretty successful.

Successful or not, it isn’t back to baseline

Lemmy was at 15k MAU, went up to over 125k and now is 1/3 of that.

So it increased by 200%

If you use arch (btw) it still does

Cars’ buttons need to be used while preferably not looking at them, that’s a pretty different situation to a smartphone
