Arch, btw

It was the distro that my friend uses all the time, and I’ve had to use his laptop on occasion so I’m somewhat familiar with the distro, enough so that I’ve installed it on persistent USBs before and already chosen it as my next OS after Windows (I would switch now, but I rode Windows 7 till the end date, so I figured I’d ride out 10 until the final day this October)

Also! Gender fluid hello!! It made me so insanely happy to see that flag in the Linux terminal, I feel so seen!! It feels like trans girls hog all the Linux spotlight this side of the fediverse, I’m happy for them! But I still don’t feel like I have a proper community where I belong, especially since I stay off of all other mainstream social media >.<

So seeing another enby, another gender fluid especially, for the literal first time since I made my lemmy account just makes me so ecstatic!! We’re so rare x3

Anyways, thank u for existing and simply posting this, seeing another makes me feel seen and I can’t really express enough how unreasonably happy something so small just made me c:

Thank you! And I should sleep so good night also lol

Honestly moving to clangd has got to be the single best thing I’ve done in C++, it’s cross platform and I’ve found it to be significantly faster, more reliable, and more featureful than Microsoft’s C++ plugin by a long shot

Very much same

I feel like this is probably the biggest problem with mastodon after the on-boarding. Not only does someone actually need to understand instances and put in more effort to sign up, when they do there’s like absolutely no good way to find new stuff, it’s all just basically random

I understand the “no algorithm” stance on things but jesus would it be too much to let me sort by top of the day? I want to see what people are talking about, what’s going on, not just what ever happened to be posted in the latest minute.

This is a problem I have with a bunch of other fediverse app (Pixelfed & Loops primarily) and it seriously bothers me that there isn’t any real option to sort anything except reverse chronologically, and the ability to do so is the only reason I keep coming back to Lemmy over all of the rest of fediverse fr

This is exactly why I just could not get into mastodon, and probably Twitter-likes in general

There’s no way, atleast at the time, to sort by top of the day. No way to see what was trending across the larger fediverse, no real way to find new and interesting things every hour on the hour

Lemmy is thankfully significantly better with this, and it’s honestly become my go-to social app now

Easy billions

Everybody gangsta still we invent hardware accelerated JSON parsing

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

AI: “This code will create a memory leak and potentially crash the users operating system”

Me: “Nuh-uh”

AI: “Correct”

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?

Reddits giving a grace period to Infinity since it’s getting a subscription model developed, so they haven’t even started charging Infinity yet

Literally the only reason I occasionally go back every 3 or 4 weeks is to check if my old app moved to the subscription service yet, and so far it hasn’t

That’s cursed

More than welcome!

Here’s the F-Droid link, you can also download the APK from the codeberg releases, too

Don’t care, Infinity is finally for Lemmy, there’s nothing I miss anymore so I’m never going back to Reddit

Honestly really wasn’t a big fan of the look and functionality back when I first tried it, but it looks like it got updated recently with some more customization and theming options

Closer to Infinity but still I miss it

It also still has the weird scrolling stutter, but overall does seem more polished than jerboa

Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, same here with Infinity

It was my app of choice and I got so use to it, whenever I go back to it every once and a while, I just remember everything I miss since switching to jerboa

Biggest one is definitely the smoothness, idk y but jerboa has a subtly noticable stutter every time I swipe around the feeds, whereas Infinity is completely smooth, running at 90hz flawlessly

And there’s alot of other small QoL and rough-around-the-edges things, too

The minute that Infinity for Lemmy comes out, if at all, is the minute that I return to my home app

Yooo Mastodon post on Lemmy let’s goooo
