I'm not sure if I have bad luck but every time I've tried Ubuntu I've had stability issues. Constant crashes and things I've never run into in other distros.

It makes it hard for me to recommend it to new users.

I love Gnome. But I have a pretty simple workflow where I don't use many applications. Generally I have a browser and terminal open and that's it.

I do all my window management inside of Tmux, which is effectively my actual window manager.

I've tried KDE in the past but I've never liked how it feels like a stepping stone for the Windows interface -- not a huge fan of pullout menus. I've been using Linux exclusively for almost twenty years so I don't have any love for that UX.

I used to use a lot of simple/tiling window managers when I was younger and more patient, Gnome feels similar to those in how it has very few bells and whistles to get in your way.

If only maintaining extensions was easier, it feels like every major release breaks every extension for something stupid like renaming a constant. The Gnome team seems to put very little consideration into making the JS extension API stable.

Didn't that end up being illegal for them to do or something so they had to go back on the rule?

Edit: I only realize now that I am responding to a 7 month old thread that was at the top of 'Hot'. Lemmy's algorithm is confusing.

#DropKiwifarms works to end the relationship between far-right hate forum Kiwi Farms and the digital service providers that keep Kiwi Farms active online

Is KF even far right? I was always under the impression it was just an extension of 4chan focused on gossip about minor e-celebrities.

Not that I support Kiwi Farms, but I just find applying the "far right" label to everything offensive kind of loaded at this point.

Been playing through Dredge this weekend, it's an awesome game for Deck. Very pick up and play

While this is true, ProtonDB has even better numbers than Valve so it's still a win for the topic.

From Kbin you can subscribe to whatever sublemmies you're interested in as if they were magazines.

You could also do the same in reverse from Beehaw/Lemmy.world, but KBin currently doesn't federate properly (due to Cloudflare DDoS protection.)

This looks super cool. I'm very excited to play it! Crazy to think it's only a few months away.

I'm hoping it runs well on Steam Deck, seems like it'll be a great game to play from the couch.

If you like horror Outlast Trials is pretty good. It's a little short on content (there are 9 unique missions) but the experience is well worth the money, I'm hoping they add new content soon.

Jerboa has seen huge improvements in the last two weeks alone. I think there's been a lot of traction on that front, and the dev seems particularly receive to feedback.

Best:

• Hi-Fi Rush: Holy crap, I didn't expect Shinji Mikami to make the best character action game since DMC3. From the soundtrack to the gameplay to the artstyle this game really stands out as something amazing.
• Pizza Tower: I'm gonna be honest, I missed the hype train for this game. I knew it was coming but I didn't play any of the betas or follow the community, but once it released I was pleasantly surprised by its blazingly fast and addictive gameplay loop.
• RE4 Remake: I prefer the oldschool tank control RE games, but this is a pretty fantastic remake that stays pretty faithful to the original game.
• Dead Space Remake: GOATed. Reimagining the game as one giant open area instead of locked off mission zones really opens up the exploration aspect, and the random scares you'd run into while re-treading old environments caught me off guard every few hours.
• Street Fighter VI: I didn't expect Capcom to hit it out of the park so hard. After the disaster of SFV leading to me quitting fighting games for a few years and eventually discovering Tekken/Guilty Gear I never thought I'd be back to playing good ol' Street Fighter, but the systems are really well thought out and deceptively deep.

Disappointments:

• Diablo IV: I might be a little salty since it's so recent but I'm not really jiving with D4 right now. The game feels like busy work, the scaling feels wrong and it just doesn't have the QoL I expect from a billion dollar company. Maybe it'll open up later, but with Path of Exile 2 around the corner I don't need this game to be great.
• System Shock: The game is probably great. Issue is I bought it on Deck and the controller support is extremely half baked to the point where I am just going to shelve it until they update it.
• Last of Us 1 (Steam): It just doesn't work.

I think they did do research and third party app users make up a small enough portion of their user base that losing them is okay to Reddit.

Keep in mind how popular Reddit is -- for the most part the people left will be content with the karma bots reposting memes for the thirtieth time and there's always going to be somebody racing to be the first to post some news to a related subreddit.

I doubt it'll affect their bottom line too much and in a week it'll be back to business as usual for most subreddits.
