There is https://old.lemmy.world, which I am using. It even has a dark mode! It does have a few missing features. The message field doesn’t have any formatting buttons, you can’t change the shortcuts up top, the submissions don’t have alternating colors (but comments do!), and the preview button for messages sends your message to the server, which breaks often and deletes your message.

It’d be nice if each one was weighted and we could adjust the weights to see some more than others. By default it would just be as it is now.

I can see someone getting tired of a sub and wanting to see less of it but not wanting to unsubscribe

Right? I don’t want to see the porn nsfw stuff, but stuff like violent games, movie, shows, etc that also get marked nsfw I wanna see.

The space org added that Voyager 2’s trajectory is expected to remain unchanged

Yeah, if that starts changing then something very serious is going on.

Vulkan isn’t open source, it’s an open standard.

If you’re on Linux Vulkan is the way to go. Unless their use of the standard is really bad, Vulkan will always perform better on Linux than DirectX 12

If you’re on Windows, then it can be a bit of a crap shoot on which one performs better.

No, its not. With open source software you, a regular person, can feasibly get a change included into the code base. That is NOT true with an open standard. You, or more accurately a very large and powerful company you work with or for, have to have significant pull to even hope to get a change in. Even then, those changes take a lot of time to proliferate.

With open source code that change can happen as soon as you write it, you don’t even have to wait for the maintainer to merge it; just fork the software. You can’t really “fork” Vulkan as a normal dev; no one will follow your spec. You don’t have enough pull as a single dev to get billion dollar companies to follow it. But you can relatively easily get those same companies to use your fork of an open source software.

They are entirely different systems.
