Why not? Plasma is much more usable out of the box for many users including myself. GNOME's out of the box experience is really lacking IMHO and requires me to install and configure several extensions just to get what I consider to be a functional UI. I know they have this vision for how they want people to use their OS, but that vision is not aligned with how I actually want to use it. The best way distros can vote against the design choices of GNOME is by making something else the default. The problem I have is that I generally prefer GNOME's app suite to KDE's, so that makes the decision a bit more complicated for me.

I feel like this should only be a problem when users don't make use of the crosspost functionality built into Lemmy (which ultimately should only be a technical problem that Lemmy clients need to address at the time of post creation). Aside from appropriate options in a client that should allow you to crosspost to multiple communities at once, I feel like this is a server side issue more than a client side one because the server shouldn't be returning duplicates like this if posts are appropriately crossposted IMHO.

I know some creators that are moving to Substack and it really seems like a good way forward for certain content. I can't blame folks for leaving, I'd be pissed if a platform caused me to miss out on income.

The Satanic Temple is who you're probably thinking of because the Church of Satan doesn't do much of anything except post snarky things on X and whine about how TST isn't real Satanism and how TST shouldn't be engaging in political action.

As a Satanist, I would love to challenge this, but this one is unfortunately much more difficult to challenge than, say, the 10 Commandments because Christians managed to fuck up our national motto. And all this law is doing is requiring teachers to put our national motto up in classrooms.

Assuming it's precisely at the 2 hour mark, do you have snapshots enabled for that VM? If so, try turning them off.

They got here from Reddit 5 minutes earlier, so that makes them OG lemmings and gives them the right to shit on the latecomers, don't you know? 😉

I'd honestly look for an alternative financial institution that either has an app that implements whatever security they think they need or doesn't implement this DRM bullshit for their website.

Believe it or not, we're living in the most peaceful period of human history thus far. I'd recommend the book The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker which talks about how far we've come. That said, I see the threat of global warming, lack of fresh water, famine, and energy scarcity becoming threats to the current status quo, though. If we don't figure some things out as a species, we're likely in for some turbulent times in the next hundred years.

That's cool if you like it, but I prefer text to be much higher contrast against the background than that. Color is meant to highlight and accent IMHO.

Sync does have some cloud features (and I suspect push notifications will be one of them soon), but yeah, I understand paying for them isn't for everyone.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for an app release. Great work!
