Yeah, but also remember that if there is one thing history taught us, it is that a non popular voted president can win still. Many of us were in disbelief when it happened with this guy.
Also, don’t underestimate the fact that people may disagree with Trump, but they only have to disagree/hate Biden more in order to vote for this guy.
So yes, I do agree that his polls may be increasing or rather, I never underestimate that they could be.
This is great. Then all the people complaining that lemmy.world is “too big” can now be appeased with others leaving lemmy.world. Glad to see the community solve each other’s problems organically! :)
Thank you for the update. Good work.
So, I did this by booting to USB. Obviously I cannot just performance really, but I did even manage to install Valheim and run it from the USB.Some things worked out of box and some did not. I have and Asus Zephyr 15” dual screen and there seems to be a set of drivers and interface for that, but I didn’t go that far. Screen seemed to work, sound wouldn’t adjust , got keyboard lights working and etc.
Overall, it is better than what I remember. I think with more effort, might be able to get it all working but I am not currently patient enough to really see it through. We will see!
Not a bad idea. I might do this on my laptop (I have a desktop too for main gaming). My laptop has a dual screen too, so if I try this, I will report back on the experience.
I use Linux all over for my server hosting, but not desktop OS. Out of curiosity, what were the things that held you back from using it full time? (Others feel free to share too please)
I will go first - gaming. I do also have a SteamDeck so I am fully aware that there has been lots of advancements there and that is great. For the most part, the games I currently play seem to play just fine on it (and I know some of that could be the Deck more than Linux itself). With all that said, I am still skittish about fully committing as my main desktop OS.
Two things:
Isn’t there always trust issues though? Also, could SSL passthrough help in that?
Instead of CDN for protection, couldn’t a local WAF help solve this too?
Anyone have any theories on this? Is kbin operating with faster servers, bandwidth and etc? I am sure the code is growing/learning on how to optimize too, but I am curious. I do plan to review issues to watch/track/contribute here:

That is helpful and makes sense on different instances, but I do have some concerns on the “best effort”. I see posts across other instances and it says a disclaimer at the top that I may not be seeing all content. This is not a great experience if I have to always go to another instance to view ALL content and then, if I want to interact with said post… It is just not a great thing for Fediverse if that is the “acceptable response” from it. And I see you are trying to work around that with some uncertainty too (url normalizing). I laughed at the auto-refresh… bit, because I didn’t mention that, but I am seeing that too. :)
I appreciate the the perspective, help and pointers.
One thing I do still want is that “surprise” of finding something on a hot/active topic that I may not be already following. Even on “the other site”, I would flip back and forth between my Home and the top/popular to find new things to follow or get a quick chuckle.
You still can. Just block threads.net instance in things like Mastodon and Lemmy.
Your data is public in fediverse. They can scrape even right as we speak.
I would need someone to confirm this, but I have heard that if you block, then it prevents their instance from scraping your data because they shouldn’t receive your content if they are blocked, but it doesn’t change the public data being available by other means anyways.
Follow hashtags and communities that are your interest. Block users and/or instances you would rather not see or be part of. Also, you can find an instance that fits your values that is already blocking instances you disagree with.
I am mostly indifferent of Threads joining at this time, but those that are not in favor, there are options.
