I can code, try to make games and cool stuff.
“One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.”
Makes it a non issue.
It’s free as in freedom not as in free beer and that’s that.
Jitsi doesn’t have to offer free service and they particularly don’t have to provide anonymity.
The same is true for the fediverse, since the admins have info that could help identify users. That has it’s uses too.
Agreeing with @mister_monster here.
COVID was an information clusterfuck. Nobody knew anything, how it spread, what it does, which measures where effective.
I remember reading about it in December, January '19 and there was no way to know whether it was a real threat or no issue like birdflu.
Even if official info had been correct and timely, which it wasn’t, there was still enough misinformation around that you can’t blame people for picking up the wrong things.
As in, where things are, why they are there and how it works as a holistic thing, isn’t being talked about.
Redesigns are graphic or graphic subsystems.
But nobody touches aspects of which settings make sense to put where, taking the education level of the user into account.
And there is no at least semi centralized group that organize that some setups actually work and are well explained. E.g. Sound, If you run into an issue there, good luck finding a support contact or manual.
My main problem is that I have “legacy” games that don’t work on Linux as well as Linux ports and native Linux builds being worse than their Linux counterpart.
#limuxgaming has come a long way and I’m curious and excited to see where it goes, but ease of use simply doesn’t have parity. I want one click installs with identical performance.
The bigger issue with the #linuxdesktop in general is that no distro actually thinks about it as a product. 1/2
@peter @argentcorvid algorithms aren’t evil, the important part was always control over how it works.
The fediverse is in an excellent position to first recreate the problem of having too much and then someone will take one for the team and develop some easy to configure filter that weights things properly.
Give it 6 months…

Better start the backup now?
