It's OK, I replace all the tabs with spaces for uniformity. Tabs are stupid and they mess things up when I paste stuff. I like to watch the world burn.

And then he'd just, take the feature away again after kicking everyone he doesn't like off. Voting would be a great way to get rid of the subreddit monopoly with awkward turtle and turds like him who own all the subreddits, ban people for no reason and remove all the good posts to ensure everyone's feed is worthless reposted trash.
Like 2 days ago, it seems to have reached such a critical mass of popularity that once I set my feed from "local" to "all", I can just keep scrolling down and continue seeing new content. This is now sustainable for me and I can happily quit reddit for good as long as lemmy stays this popular.
There's this one called lightweight music server. It's basically just a glorified in-browser vlc. It has playlists and remembers what you were doing if you close the browser but it's not possible to move songs up or down in the playlist. You can add songs to the front or back of the playlist as well as remove songs from the playlist but there's no dragging up or down. For me it's still the more desirable choice vs using Spotify and either paying a monthly fee or listening to ads. I know there are anti ad hacks but they always break after every update and are hard to install.
Dang I missed that one. Does anyone have a link?
I haven't touched an image editor that isn't gimp in years. It does everything I could ever want and more. Installing it is as easy as typing sudo apt install gimp. No torrents, no cracks, no viruses. I really don't understand why the vendetta against gimp is so strong. I do game modding for fun and actually have a use for "photoshop like" features and gimp delivers all this in a bullshit free package.
Also, gimp is faster and starts up faster than photoshop.
It's OK, just wish the app was better. In android 11 and older you can force jeroba to open all lemmy-like links with jeroba but if you're on android 12, the only way to get somewhere other than lemmy.ml is if you're already subscribed to a place on another server. There is no way to browse sublemmys on other instances which really sucks.
I think they also throttled gpu performance at the kernel level or something. I vaguely remember reading a post about that but don't have source or anything. However back in the day I was getting dogshit framerates in VR and I had a "pretty good" computer. After trying everything to solve these performance issues for months and failing, I tried out Windows 10 and suddenly all my framerate problems were solved.
I use cinnamon on capable pcs with large screens but on anything weaker or anything with a smallish screen I use xfce.
Gnome 3 is OK and it doesn't interfere with gaming or fullscreen mode programs as hard, in fact it's superior to even cinnamon in this regard. It's frowned upon for high resource usage but the way it deals with fullscreen works really well as long as it doesn't crash for some other reason. I dont use Gnome because without extensions, it's a barely usable mess. VERY ESSENTIAL extentions like Window List or that one that makes the top bar work on multiple monitors take forever to get updated every time a new Gnome version comes out.
KDE Plasma seems to be a good choice. A lot of people seem to have good experiences with it. I'm not one of those people. First of all, that keyring bullshit alone is too much to deal with. I already type my login password once when I first boot up which is pushing my patience in the first place but KDE makes me ADDITIONALLY type in my keyring password in order for essential drivers and wifi to work? Fuck no. Also, that update nag screen is the absolute worst. It's almost worse than Windows fucking 10. It may not kick you off so it can update but it pops up at the worst possible time with impeccable timing. Just about every time I'm jacking off to some porn, right as I'm cumming the stupid fucking update screen pops up and I blow my load to the update screen. I don't know how KDE gets the timing just right but this happens too fucking often. These 2 issues already push it pretty far past usability for me but I'm not done. The 3rd pillar of KDE's shittiness is the file transfer window (or lack thereof). The only way to know the status of a file transfer is by looking at the window icon in the taskbar where the transfer progress bar is overlayed with about 0.00000000000000000000000000001% opacity. There is almost no difference between the "progress bar" color and the "no progress bar" color. That's just the major issues, there are others but I'm not writing a fuckin book about KDE.
Xfce is good. It'll run on anything without really sacrificing too many features. The biggest hit to it's usability is that the start menu doesn't have a search bar but if you're using like a pentium 1 or something this is a feature not a bug. There exist add-ons that add a search bar anyway. If you need something even more lightweight, use CDE, NSCDE or if you're really desperate to not waste cpu clock cycles, dwm. I had to use an Athlon XP as my main pc for school for a few weeks in the year 2016 and using xfce still didn't give me enough leeway to run YouTube very well even with a GeForce 6800.
I use Cinnamon primarily though. It has its share of stupid bullshit. For example they made an attempt to make the ui customizable like KDE but you can't get a taskbar on the second monitor or do anything useful with custom panels at all. If you want to make a custom panel that does anything other than render a useless gray rectangle on your screen, you're out of luck. You do get a lot of customization options for the window icons/labels on the 1 working taskbar though. Being able to see what's going on at a glance makes all the difference. I do get random occasional crashes that seem to be possibly related to context menu bugs. It doesn't happen often but there's no way to really break out of it without power cycling the computer when it does. Print screen area select doesn't work as well as it does on gnome and you can't change the directory of where screenshots are saved (you're supposed to be able to with dconf editor but it doesn't work).
Tl:dr KDE bad. Gnome meh. Xfce fast. Cinnamon is my favorite one right now all things considered.
I have this exact same problem. The android 12 and later managing of urls and apps is a dysfunctional mess right now. You have "verified links" now which means you get zero control over what apps and open which urls. That app called "better open with" is useless because 1) other than the 5 predefined websites, you don't get to make differet apps open different urls. And 2) you can't manually add apps to a list. There's nothing you can do about having Firefox and color notes as you only 2 options. It's fucking bullshit.
My problem is in android 12, they no longer let you manually define urls for apps to open. Am app has to give you "verified links" now. This is like really really shitty because in the jeroba app, everytime someone posts a link to another place on lemmy, it won't open that shit. I'm probably going to buy an older phone because this is really fucking me. I do have an unlocked bootloader though but Java fucking sucks and reverse engineering an entire rom just to unfuck 1 shitty feature is like a 1 year long job.
Remember when newer tech used to actually be better than old tech? Pepperidge farm remembers.
We need more shitposting communities like this one. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sink to piss in unzips
I think there used to be one called r/jizzonstuff too.
