Not that I can remember, only the numerical pad with letters.I think it wasn't a thing because it was about keeping devices practical and portable... But that ship already sailed and sinked so I'd be up for something bulky but practical or just going back to numerical pad with letters.
100% agree, I can just check once a day, skipping basically everything you mentioned + the non-memes in the meme comms and that's it, no need to open the threadiverse again until the next day.
We also need artists and creative people on board, yes, even the ones who draw porn, but the threadiverse users seemed kind of hostile towards many things during the reddit exodus they decided it wasn't a good place.
Wonder if they'd have a different experience now, since most instances have defederated hex, ml and grad, and those were the loudest when it came to brigade and complain about anything sexy.
I have the same complain for danvinci and kdenlive since I just use it for memes and shitposts... Fucking resize the whole project and the render when I import the first media.If I need a different render size I'll change it later but it's annoying having to manually change everything every time.
At least for someone who constantly uses different sizes really makes it hard to like since it's a whole thing for some minor shit.
When OBS' hotkeys work without having to focus that window (on kde), when there's a music player with an UI like MusicBee (love the file explorer because I have my own organization) and updates don't break for who knows why preventing future updates and forcing me to format again (looking at you Fedora and Cachy), then I will fully move to linux.
Oh and when I can install flatpaks wherever I want because I like having some things as portable (like Dolphin emulator).
It’s just the same software and the software isn’t the problem
I disagree, the devs and ml/grad hosts can decide which things to improve, mantain or force into the other instances, I think there were plans to hardcode the ml federation into it (saw it in a post that was removed for a different reason so I hope someone else kept the screenshot) because too many instances were defederating from them.There's also the devs keeping the blocking function half-assed so nobody can fully block ml/grad content.
They claim donations for the Lemmy software are not used to help their hosting of ml or grad, but they have proven to lie and be malicious, so there's no reason to believe them.Also using their software is helping them stay sort of relevant to the fediverse and nobody wants assholes to be relevant.
At any rate, there are already better alternatives that aren't linked to propagandists, transphobes and history revitionists, so why not use something better?
Basically the ml owners are the lemmy mods who also own the grad instance.They are terrible people and it got this far because lemmy was the alternative to reddit that wasn't filled with racism, transphobes and incels, so people with good intentions stuck and cheered for lemmy to develop while they hosted their own instances with their own rules so at least they didn't have to tolerate the lemmy devs, hexbear and their trolls too much.
By this point there is kbin (or mbin? i keep forgetting) and piefed, there's no need to support lemmy in anyway anymore, hence why there are more and more instances defederating from ml altough some still federate with them like dbzer0 (but they also federate with hexbear).The next step should be hosts migrating to piefed or kbin and app devs dropping lemmy support, the first one is already happening in some instances, the later one not yet.
It's the fediverse, signal is sacred and will not be questioned nor criticiced, anyone else who wishes to have a non-US instant messenger gets downvoted to hell.
Wish I was joking but just look at the other guy who dared to like Telegram.It's basically signal or matrix in here.
I personally don't use it, it's much more suspicious that other messengers get so much flak and signal is defended so fiercely... And it's also USA based.
I had not tought about it but the parents(?) only yelled and complained, none of them tried to take away the sword or teach her how to use it safely.
