I suppose it's too much to hope for, for RSS feeds to make a comeback. Or JSON feeds being more prevalent. I'm totally serious, I miss being able to just check the headlines without going through a bunch of bullshit.

KDE also has a WebKit browser. Heck it'd be weird if they didn't since WebKit is a fork of KHTML

At this point I'm more or less done with Reddit. My latest ban was because I posted a screenshot of an ad with a wacky old person comment to r/oldpeoplefacebook. I carefully smudged out the person's name and profile pic...and got a three-day site-wide ban for sharing personal information. I protested, they said, nope, you shared personal information. All I can figure is they decided the advertiser's name is personal info, which would make it even more bizarre because I'd say about half the posts have group or advertiser names unedited.

People they let mod, can end up getting this really bizarre God complex not dissimilar to what you see in university settings, their word goes, questioning their word is a sin and they'll just double down.

The Twitter bots started in on that shit before the damn rain stopped and haven't stopped since. At this point Twitter's living in a goddamn fantasy world. "Where's Biden? He hasn't done ANYTHING!" Meanwhile he issued several emergency declarations? "Where's Kamala in all this? This is her problem!" ...is it? What's with Twitter bots acting like Kamala Harris is already the President?

I remember when the GNOME file manager was this kind of interesting hybrid that used MC for the backend. The one thing I liked about it was that it could be docked in Window Maker. Yep I was using a Dock in GNOME waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before most GNOME users.

Nowadays it's still possible to replicate my old Window Maker desktop in XFCE.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if someone finds out there was some obscure Emacs fork or clone designed to run Clojure or something, and it's named Again

 

I spent a few minutes setting up a Plasma desktop to resemble what I like about GNOME Shell. A screenshot doesn't do it justice imho. Application Dashboard on Meta, Overview on Meta-W, a Panel and Icons-Only Task Manager set to Autohide at the bottom of each screen, and the Tiling Manager.

I gave up on it because I've tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don't mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.

Yeah, I simultaneously don't blame them, and suspect a high amount of their traffic comes from NSFW forums. Allegedly Spez was a /r/Jailbait mod and if so, eww, he should have known better.

I wouldn't blame them for trying to find a way to monetize the NSFW content, because it's become a dumping ground for Onlyfans promotion.

So...do we know if Reddit iself is behind flooding subs with comments about how mods are being jerks and hurting the communities pointlessly? It's weird, the same kinds of comments in every sub I'm in. Also lots of comments about how Lemmy is too complicated. 😆
