I use an iPhone and a Mac but I assume Android as a more open platform has even more of those.

„That might not be entirely accurate”.

This is why it’s a proposal, and why I filed it more than 6 months earlier than strictly required.

But just to clarify - we will need to drop support for 32-bit x86 at some point. It’s dead, and more and more software just doesn’t support being built and / or run in 32-bit environments at all.

„This is how it always was” is never a good argument but it’s not even applicable in this case. It was Digg that brought downvoting to mainstream and it was definitely a Web 2.0 thing. Old forums used upvotes only, sometimes labeled as „thanks” and such.

People that dogpile downvote too, it’s not exclusionary. Downvotes on Reddit were not meant to be a „disagree” button - it was intended for off-topic and rule breaking content. Of course platform has very little control over that and people started it to bury opinions they disagreed with below visibility thresholds.

Out of all the ways to solve this I really like what Tildes does. There’s no downvote button and only somewhat trusted users get to assign labels that work a bit similarly but force you to provide a reason for that downvote. For example, a pun that doesn’t bring anything to discussion can be labelled as „noise” which doesn’t remove or hide it but brings it to bottom. Other labels serve as quasi-report. It’s a solved problem but I think most people like dogpiling and downvoting.

I’m eager to jump but Voyager is a must-have for me (I know it’s coming).

I’m not sure it’s a Wine/Proton thing, it’s quite likely to be suboptimal at some things because it’s reverse engineered (not to diminish technical marvel that it is and decades of effort). Regular desktop Windows has just way too much overhead coming from everywhere.

As a side note, back in the day when Nvidia released drivers for FreeBSD using Linux binary compatibility layer was even faster than Linux for gaming.

I’m here to get away from a normal internet conversation but with size it seems that it is inevitable.

That said, even quite unpopular posts are unlikely to get so many replies that the user can't deal with them, just due to the number of people on Lemmy right now.

You haven’t touched any taboo yet is my guess.

Muting replies is not a thing on Lemmy.

Given the diverse targets, they are likely bots for hire, Linvill said -- though attacking both Russia and China is "unique".
