Even without considering laptops, I can already imagine quite a few circumstances where someone might want monitors of differing DPIs. I've actually thought sometimes of getting a smaller monitor I can have off to the side that I display a browser window containing mostly text on when I'm playing videogames or working in something like Blender or Aseprite; yknow, for referencing a guide, wiki, or manual or something. I don't even have a super high desire for a multi-monitor setup outside of that.
I honestly just stick with X11 because of the high degree of compatibility, and I often already rely on X11-only software anyways like Redshift (I know there's Wayland-supporting alternatives, but I'm picky and don't like switching if I don't feel I need to), also my DE/WM of choice is currently awesomewm and I think I've heard mixed things about using awesomewm on Wayland (or it might not even be compatible at all. I just woke up and I'm struggling to remember lol)
This UI already feels way better for reasons I can't even quite describe. Nice!
Wow what the hell, this is the first I'm hearing of this change. I use Rocky Linux for my server atm and I was thinking I liked it for server use quite a lot more than Fedora, but if they're going to do this then I'm going to have to jump ship unfortunately. Maybe I'll go back to Debian. Or even better, maybe I'll try using Devuan in a prod server setup for once?
I'm super not happy to have to jump ship again though when I JUST settled into something I'm comfortable with that works near perfectly well for my usecases, after multiple years of jumping around undecided.
E: Although I did just read that statement from the Rocky Linux team, and maybe it'll be fine? But I'm still gonna prepare to move just in case this fucks over the Rocky Linux ecosystem anyways
this is tech gore
PUNCH BUGGY MUG
When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?
i'll bully them away >:3 !!!
On the real I feel like Lemmy/the wider linkagg fediverse will prob be good at self-moderating somewhat like other fediverse software's communities are. It'll probably be easier for admins to noice bad actors on their instance than it was for site admins on Reddit to notice bad actors there because the admins-to-users ratio on here will probably be better, even if things are kinda concentrated on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and beehaw right now (people will probably spread out as they get a grip on how things work), and the average user will probably grow a stronger connection with their instance admins for that reason too, making it easier to address things like that since more people will be able to comfortably contact their admins directly. And if said bad actor is from another instance, and the admins of that instance refuse to deal with them, there's always community-level bans (I think anyways? I'm still not familiar with the comm mod tools) and, if more drastic measures are needed, defederation.
I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)
I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable
Took me until I was, I believe, 16 despite discovering that both aromanticism and asexuality were a thing a long, long time prior, because it was only then that I realized you can be aromantic without being asexual. When I was younger I thought I was ace + bi or something for a bit, but that felt really, really off.
aroallo gang rise up
Never heard of this one, thanks for the link! I've always liked the idea of home automation-connected voice assistants for disability aid reasons, but no way in hell I'm using Siri or Alexa or whatever the Google one is called
I recently switched to Porkbun from Namecheap specifically because I found Namecheap's "advanced DNS" settings to be somewhat excruciating to use, plus I also (finally, after doing it manually for a good few years) got around to setting up Certbot autorenewal, and there's not really a good way to do DNS challenges for autorenewal with Namecheap. Just generally I find Porkbun's UI to be very simple and streamlined without actually hiding anything from me. I also found that my domain renewal prices went down with the switch, something I didn't even consider when switching.
That being said, Porkbun and Namecheap are literally the only domain registrars I've used. For all I know there could be something out there I'd prefer way more.
