fwiw, I'm now pretty darn happy with Linux and gaming. Granted, I use Steam, so there's that.

There are issues sometimes, but I just keep a copy of windows around for windows-only things. Generally, Linux "just works" for me, but I've also learned to just skip it when something requires too much involvement to get working.

Times change, and people are slow. 'Colored people' used to be the most PC, now it's an insult. Because it could, in any old fart's brain, be either the most PC thing or an insult, you never know if the person is doing so intentionally or not, which sucks because:

• if someone uses it unintentionally and people jump on them, that just makes them bitter
• someone who is racist can use not knowing as a smoke screen
• people who are really "with it" on social issues can also be quick to blame, and low on tolerance, and high on trauma or virtue signaling.

..the divide just grows until people resolve it inside themselves.

I think this might be interesting:

• permit separate, low-traffic, highly rate-limited, auth-only servers. They would be strictly rate-limited and only accept connections from whitelisted partner servers, because they only handle auth.
• any partner server can authenticate a user and handle content for the server/auth-server pair, but only does so under certain conditions (determined by the partner - all the time, when ping api call > n seconds, or manually, for example)
• [email protected] can't log in, so the client tries the list of partnered servers. user succeeds at lemmy.partner.net.
• [email protected]@partner.net says.. '..something' and all other servers accept it as being from [email protected]
• lemmy.world recovers,, and claims all of the @[email protected] posts. Partners then forget the extra stuff they've been hosting.

Be careful not to cross that line of request vs desperation.

Like on YouTube - A tasteful "don't forget to like and subscribe" is fine, but mentioning it multiple times during a video is just increasingly demanding or cringe.

Jerboa? Dead in mouse yrap. Liftof? V good much use.

Proper instruction.

Back buttons may have limited use. Someone was complaining that in xinput mode they didn't work.

It's been a little annoying. Anyways, thanks for thinking of FMHY.

..it wasn't what he said, it was the implication.

Hate is dull.

Your attitude, though. Slather on that hate nice and thick. Was it good for you? Make you feel better now that you have someone to hang?

TBH, paywalled content leads to a lot of people who haven't read it participating in shallow and contentious conversations based around clickbaity titles. I say keep the rule of no twitter.
