I hopped on Manjaro back before people started flaming it to kingdom come. I’m still using it 4 years later and still loving it 😊 I play with other distros on another computer for funsies, but my home rig stays the same

Ah, that makes sense, thank you for educating me!

Apparently it’s just a visual thing, whatever you’ve set your profile to in the browser extends to your Jerboa app.

Basically it’s the concept that AI becomes “sentient”, has it’s own motives, and ability to learn

I think it does send the request the first time you click, but it takes a while to get a response from another server. Try it with some communities that are local to your server and you’ll notice it’s not so much an issue. I’m not a Dev and not am authority on the topic, but I think it puts your request into a queue, this helps make sure that your request makes it to the requested server in the case that one of those servers is temporarily down for maintenance or updates.

What I think needs to happen is just to provide a visual response to indicate that your request is sent and awaiting a response, which doesn’t usually happen until you click it a second time.

I’m not sure if it has a different name, and I apologize if I’m saying things you already know. Viewport is basically just what’s visible on your screen.

Wayland, for optimization and security, suspends apps not visible on your screen. Normally, this is a really great feature, but it becomes problematic for me.

For instance, I’m playing an mmo, I keep a browser open on another virtual desktop so I can find things I need and the game doesn’t alt-tab very well. While I’m on the second virtual desktop, it suspends my game, the mmo assumes I’ve disconnected, and logs me out. This is becoming more of an issue with most games now being live service, so I can’t just queue for a game in Overwatch, then go browse on the other vdesktop.

Let’s say you don’t use virtual desktops. I play music from my computer while I’m cleaning the house. Screen locks, music stops. I know, I can use caffeine to keep it from sleeping, but I shouldn’t have to, and what if I want to leave the room and not have to worry about what kind of damage a family member can do without having to know my login?

It’s technically a good feature, and I would absolutely keep it on if it were on my work computer, but it just doesn’t fit for my personal rig. It’s not an optional function since it’s considered a big win for security, but I’d love the option to toggle it off so I can keep using my computer the way that I want to. It may sound silly, but it drove me back to xorg, despite me otherwise loving Wayland.

Anyone else suddenly getting Reddit followers? I’ve yet to purge my account, and my account, which has no real activity, is suddenly getting an influx of followers. wth is going on over there? lol

In your profile settings is a way to set the default. Some users have reported a visual bug where when you go back to the main page it will say that you have a different sorting method selected, but the results of the page should still reflect what you’ve set as your default. We’re all Alpha Testers for Lemmy :)

Matrix is great, Element has a really nice UI for it. Signal also does work without a phone number, in fact it doesn’t really work for SMS anymore. Signal provides P2P for any communications with another Signal user. Matrix supports P2P as long as you set it up (encrypt a channel) and I think DM’s are P2P

Edit: So Matrix is cool, End to End, NOT P2P, and probably the right decision for OP.

Amazing how every prediction the Reddit community has made re: this situation has been coming true. They called this well before the blackouts began.
