it's a pretty chill community that's been slowly growing even on a little forum mostly disconnected from everything else. I hope they can eventually federate with lemmy again since it's a lot more active than any of the lemmy instances right now.

from what I understand haiku and beOS were UNIX inspired, with some posix compliance, but it's not a unix-like or unix-based. Kind of like plan9 was.
I agree but fwiw proton can be better than a lot of simpler ports. I remember the binding of isaac had a native port but it ran terribly and I just stopped playing because I assumed either something was wrong with the game or it was something with linux and I couldn't figure out which. Apparently most people just played in proton because it ran great. When the released the latest DLC they dropped linux support but it still runs better than ever on proton.
The new GTK/Adwaita theme looks really nice, the devs are doing great work with it.
There should probably be some ability to crosspost without being a symlink, maybe as a secondary option, but this is a great idea
ed: For proprietary software, as silly as it may sound, the best approach to supporting “Linux” seems to be supporting Windows and then waiting for Valve/the community to support it using Wine/Proton.
terrible take, beyond the fact that a flatpak is infinitely more convenient than using wine to run a windows program, most programs outside of games are much more difficult to run on wine because most windows software makes their own toolkit among other components. Games are one of the few things that can be done so well through wine because they are generally built on similar base toolsets and engines.
Also games are only being made to work so well on linux because the have a direct benefit to valve who wants more independence to sell their games without worrying about the platform they sell on being owned by microsoft/xbox. There is no software marketplace on desktops that would incentivize anything even remotely on that scale for regular software.
I hope this goes through, it would be great to have another major instance doing it's own thing and would help avoid the semi-problem of lemmy.ml being the de-facto instance with the most activity by far. As it is hexbear has locked new comm creation, which if brought over through the lemmy migration would incentivize using existing communities on other lemmy instances.
the automod sends now told me to switch to Lemmy if i don’t like it, so I did
lmao nice
Added thread UI for Slack-bridged rooms. Internally they're just replies like before, but the client will intelligently collapse replies in Slack rooms into threads
so does this mean matrix has threads now too or is it just for slack bridged rooms?
Huh I wondered if it was possible to bundle the whole toolkit with it. That seems to be how a lot of windows apps tend to be anyways.
yeah lemmy is much better than Aether right now
