Good job!
I work for a big enterprise, we have RHEL on all our Linux servers save for a few that are SuSe for SAP.
Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)
She’s gorgeous!
The concept of having to compile something yourself is basically foreign to me
There’s no need to, what software do you need that you can’t find on Mint repositories?
having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous
Having an app repository is way more secure than downloading software from random websites, it’s also way faster.
But it’s fine if you don’t like it, each person has its own preferences.
If you never played WoW before, I suggest you play the official one before dabbling with emulators/private servers, it’s a much better experience if you know nothing about the game.
WoW client is not native on Linux but it runs flawlessly regardless, always have, it’s also very easy to install with Lutris: https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/, use the battle.net script and follow instructions to install dependencies first.
Opensource yes, original impossible.
WoW server emulators have been in development for over a decade, they’re public projects on GitHub and released under opensource licenses, all private servers use those emulators, none of them has original code, it’s never been stolen.
You can compile them for Linux (as well as Windows), how well they work depends on the version, up to WoTLK they’re fine, from Cata on they’re quite bad.
You will need the original clients that are Windows only but they work flawlessly with WINE.
Most popular projects:
That’s only beehaw tho, it’s quite an unique community, it’s not representative of the “average” lemmy server.
I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn’t make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they’re federated with.
Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.
Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.
I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see
I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.
I see 4, none appear as removed.
I used it a lot years ago, I can confirm it’s extremely easy, both using it an customizing it, I haven’t seen another editor making it so straightforward and easy to setup your own color coding for example (I used that a lot for dokuwiki pages), but I thought that project was abandoned at some point so I switched to codium.
I see by your post that it’s still being actively developed, I’ll give it another shot, thanks for sharing.
I fully agree with you, karma “whoring” is a serious problem on reddit, awards could lead to the same behavior here if implemented.
Donations are the best way to support the platform, if you want to be “visible” as donator, opencollective allows you to post a message about it, there’s also a sort of top donators page, that’s more than enough in my opinion.
Content is just content, it’s links, it’s media, whatever
Content is not all the same, there’s quality content and there’s shitposting.
“facebook content” is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.
I don’t want shitposting burying quality content here, that’s what will happen if we don’t do anything about it.
Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don’t give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don’t want ANY of that happening to lemmy.
Innocent until proven otherwise.
There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they’re not innocent at all?
If I wanted to see facebook shit I would use facebook, I stopped using whatsapp when it was bought by facebook, I don’t want to see their content overwhelming the fediverse, that’s why I’m here instead of there.
Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?
That always happens when a new platform is born.
Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don’t mind the quirks, they’re not scared of bugs or instabilities.
They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn’t even know about it.
I use the XFCE version, it’s around 400 MB idle, fluxbox should be even less I think.
