Its fairly difficult to find “up-to-date” performance / RAM comparisons of Linux Desktop environments, but here’s a decent one from 2019 comparing memory usage of different Ubuntu flavors.

The most surprising thing is that despite KDE Plasma’s reputation as being more ram-hungry, it actually used less ram than XFCE, meaning its developers have been making performance a focus.

Moxie tried to put a crypto-coin into signal. He is not to be trusted in the slightest.

Basically for the same reason people often defend apple: the user interface is shiny, and they claim to be privacy oriented.

Signal is a centralized US hosted service, that alone should be enough to disqualify it, outside of our many other criticisms.

The web dying (i mean web browsers, html, javascript, etc) wouldn’t be such a bad thing imo.

Look at what’s happened to nearly every static content site in the past few years, they’ve become nearly unusable.

News companies can try to convince ppl to use their apps, but everyone else will continue to use social media apps to get most of their news like they already do anyway. Ppl wanting static content can use the minimal protocols like gemini, gopher, or even a simple markdown web browser, which are already better than most news sites.

Its good work for people to point these things out and report them, otherwise all our spaces would turn into reddit.

I’ve reverted those bans now also.

np, he was doing some very obvious libertarian pedo apologia.

I apologize for the innappropriate behavior and bans by @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml in this thread, I’ve removed them as a mod here, banned them, and unbanned the ppl who they innappropriately banned.

Note: if they get unbanned in the near future, its because of our consensus procedure which requires us admins to take a vote.
