And not even a remotely creative statement. ๐Ÿ™„

Last I checked they haven't yet added user-facing controls to configure this yet. I don't know where it is on the priority list.

I have been using nothing but Linux for the last decade (literally, Arch for years and now Nix) and I'm increasingly growing to hate how so many OSS communities are bordering on zealotry.

I've completely unsubbed from most Android communities now too because they're all such toxic, hostile places to be if you have the sheer audacity to use anything proprietary or closed source.

I've been around this block. I've been both using and contributing to open source projects, some small, some large. I'm proud of what open source developers have achieved and am humbled by most of them. But the users...the users are starting to get really annoying.

Congrats on not reading the post at all and writing something that literally has nothing to do with this thread.

It takes a special level of determination to be so completely clueless.

Do you believe that on a social platform like this, democracy is the best policy when it comes to what is shown and what is not?

Ah, the Internet equivalent of "I know you are but what am I?"...

"this thing that doesn't affect me at all annoys me and shouldn't be visible"

There's other people here who like the transparency. Literally all you have to do is keep scrolling...

Driving a Leaf 100km a day does not mean that the battery has a range of 100km or more. It is extremely common to charge whenever you park, whether at work or when stopping at home or any time in between drives. With a charge in the middle of the day, even a car with a max range of 50km could still do 100km in one day.

The point he's making is not about range, it's about the longevity and the reliability of the car.

It's accessing literally anything you self host from home, with minimal latency and without any port forwarding on your router or exposing your services to the Internet.

It's primary benefit is how fast it is, how much easier it is to set up for even the most novice of users, and how ubiquitous all the clients are.

Plus it's free for 100 endpoints, which is far more than most individuals will need for home labs. And even that you can get around by using subnet routing.

If you've ever wanted to run your own sort of Dropbox or Google docs (Syncthing/Next cloud) but didn't want to deal with the security hassle of exposing it to the Internet, this removes that completely. No more struggling with open ports, fail2ban, or messing with reverse proxies.

This is literally the point. "Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office" is a much, much better headline then "Grindr lays off half its staff".

They're doing it on purpose. It's no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging...these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.

We need to stop falling for this "they are so old fashioned lol" narrative, because they're all more than happy to let you believe that.

No offense, but saying this almost completely disqualifies you from having this conversation about private messengers.

 

Hello!

This is my first post on Lemmy, enjoying it greatly so far. One thing I was wondering is if there's any option in the web UI to increase the width of the main feed?

I got very used to the layout of old.reddit.com, wouldn't mind having it here.

Otherwise, no big deal at all. Thank you to everyone who supports Lemmy and helped make this happen!
