That is where I looked and could not find it, albeit only on my short commute from work.

You are not wrong. I got curious how much they receive in donations, but could not find anything about it in their financial statements.

It is because you have two monitors with different scaling, re your reply below. I have the same problem with my 4K and 1440p monitors as well (200% and 150% scaling, respectively). This has been a rather big problem IMO, so much so that I have not really used the scaling that much and instead relied on increasing font size.

The reason why is that games run through Xwayland, and X only has global scaling factor setting and not a per monitor one. Therefore they have to do some weird stuff that I can not adequately explain, but which is the reason for the applications thinking they are on a lower resolution than they really are.

I actually did a benchmark yesterday and it doesn’t really seem to matter performance wise (I thought they might both upscale and downscale, but that seems to not be the case from my testing). It is also possible to tinker with gamescope if any games do not display properly.

FYI: This is a fork of the original InnerTune-project (which I had used up till now) that is no longer updated. Thankfully, exporting and importing works well for those that are on the old one and want to switch.

Many of these have C-bindings for their libraries, which means that slowness is caused by bad code (such as making a for loop with a C-call for each iteration instead of once for the whole loop).

I am no coder, but it is my experience that bad code can be slow regardless of language used.

I knew about that, but I thought it only applied to personal information (with limitations with regards to there being some professional entity collecting it). If I make a statement to the press that goes on print, I cannot demand them recalling papers in order to be compliant with GDPR.

That being said, I am by no means very knowledgeable about this.

How so?

I like it. It reminds me that Lemmy is a small space and that people on the internet are not bots, so we have to be nice to each other :) Plus it is always fun seeing you around in different threads.

What EQ do you use? I’ve been using Easy Effects for a while, but have been plagued by crackling and stereo sound only playing on one ear lately.

Sadly, they are most likely forced to sell their labor for survival short term and hence cannot even invest their own time for the purpose of making something truly great.

It is not Android that is backing up most things though, it is mostly done by Google Services. That means that your data is effectively vendor locked-in if you want to use Android as an actual open source project. Google gutting the AOSP to this extent should be illegal (maybe even is, but might is right).

A lot to unpack here…

include all forms of imperialism

Being mainly concerned with global economic imperialism does not imply acceptance for more traditional imperialism.

reflect their values

Instances are independent and federated, hence do not need to reflect the values of the project as a whole in any way. These properties of decentralization are the values of Lemmy.

I’ve seen the rest of your claims before and you have been asked to present any facts contributing to them elsewhere. Seeing that you still have not responded to them, I will refrain from discussing it in depth for the time being.

I get the impression that your bar for “evidence” are lowered due to some personal experience. To actually engage on a point you made, modlogs have been a mess for a while and there are good reasons not to federate all details of content moderated (such as child porn). It seems weird to me that you contribute this to an agenda of the devs trying to control other instances when they were the ones that gave the other instances their independence in the first place. These actions also do not further any such agenda in a meaningful way. The much simpler and probable explanation is that engineering stuff like this is hard.

Spoiler: They don’t. They are also not letting the absence of facts hinder them from claiming stuff to be true. Subsequently they worry about why their comments are being moderated.

Yeah, they donated their spare time to give you a decentralized platform where you could criticize them because they want to stifle “freedom of discussion”… That the lemmy.ml instance is heavily moderated on stuff like imperialist propaganda is a non-issue for freedom of expression due to the nature of federation. The devs do not even want their instance (lemmy.ml) to be the biggest, but actively promote joining other instances.

You confuse your right to express your opinions with the privilege of someone else providing you a platform for you to express them on. The devs provide the former without obligating themselves to be the ones to give you the latter.

Infinite growth on finite resources is such a bad idea on so many levels.

The US might prove true if you include gun nuts toppling their own government by voting for fascist scum.

Who do you even need to fight bro? If I was say getting mugged I would give them all my valuables save a 10 % tip that I could give them when I was allowed to run the hell away from there. Do not be a stupid macho idiot. Be a smart coward without neither a wallet, gun nor a fatal wound.

Jokes aside, the main uptick is the smaller chance of someone less mentally stable than you with less to lose also having a gun.

You obviously need a gun with the same caliber bullet to stop an incoming gun shot. Have you not even read Newton’s laws of motion?
