Most sites run as well, if not better, on Firefox for me.

If you’re running a quick and dirty test, you might not get an accurate picture of the performance differences. For example:

• Your usual browser might have cached some content from the last time you used it
• Unless you kill them properly, your computer might not have the RAM/processing to be running two browsers at the same time with the best performance
• One browser might be bogged down with extensions / issues that built up over time

You could try giving Firefox a clean install, or opening it in safe mode (it’s now called troubleshoot mode), to see if there’s any difference

Changing the user agent seems to help in some cases

If you’re on mobile, set it to desktop else it looks weird

I found that after a good part of a year, I wasn’t using the widgets menu at all and it would take me more time to find the right tag than if I had folders that benefit from muscle memory

I do get the appeal though, it’s very polished

Lawnchair is what I’m currently using, and it’s improving. They’ve had a large development push recently. Another one I’ve looked at was SmartLauncher.

I tried Kvaesitso for a while but ultimately it wasn’t for me

There are some other projects in this space already, with varying levels of open source / selfhostability / features

Zulip and Revolt looked the most promising for Slack and Discord replacements respectively

You might like !foss@beehaw.org, which is specific to software

It might, but I think it might be a federation bug between our instances. I haven’t seen one like this before, but I’ll keep an eye out to see if it happens again / there’s a pattern.

You could also try setting yourself as a bot, saving, and then reversing it again. That might prompt your instance to send out the information again.

Oh sorry about that, it’s still showing up as a bot for me but it’s fine on your instance. I think the information just hasn’t federated over to lemmy.ca yet

Your account is marked as a bot by the way, you can fix that in your user settings

That’s what I was surprised by. Maybe barrels were very common and the round shape was more resistant to stress/impacts than crates at the time? Although someone said the crackers at the bottom didn’t hold up that well so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I love it 😄

Did you extract those clips for this post, and do you have a recommended method for doing that? I sometimes find clips on getyarn, but the site barely loads half the time

I blame all the similar sounding terms and organizations in the fediverse space. It’s actually pretty cool

What SWF is:

In a gesture that’s been a long time coming, Evan Prodromou, co-author of the ActivityPub protocol, has launched The Social Web Foundation. The organization aims to tackle the various headaches and challenges the ActivityPub ecosystem has faced over the last decade of its development. Their mission? A bigger, better Fediverse.

From this article:

the SWF has been working on several interesting projects outside of these stated scopes, and it’s something Evan Prodromou has been bullish about: leveraging the ActivityPub Client-to-Server API. Historically, this piece of the ActivityPub protocol is rarely ever implemented, due to complexity as well as the fact that Mastodon’s own client API has seen widespread adoption.

To really understand the C2S API, we have to go back in time to when the protocol was being developed. The basic concept was that any ActivityPub implementation would effectively act as a generic server, with clients providing unique experiences. Compared to Mastodon’s dedicated API, C2S isn’t explicitly limited to microblogging or statuses. Instead, clients dispatch activities to and from an Actor’s inbox and outbox.

Instead of every new social experience in the Fediverse acting as a bespoke server, the C2S API instead lets a wide range of clients interact with an instance. Instances no longer become specific delegates of what activities can or cannot be used. C2S opens the floodgates for any kind of application to hook in to a Fediverse account. Instead of an instance doing all the hard work, clients would handle much of the advanced logic themselves.

Setting aside unique applications for a moment, one of the key killer-features that ActivityPub C2S could offer the Fediverse is a coherent and streamlined login system for any Fediverse account.

It then has some other examples of how this protocol is being used

I saw some at the store, but I need to go back and confirm that they are still there

Oh, I thought this was going to be the genetic modification type. Rather it’s injecting the plant with some (hopefully harmless) glow stick liquid?

The team developed a light-emitting phosphor compound that enabled succulents with fleshy leaves to charge in sunlight or indoor LED light in just a couple of minutes, and then emit a soft uniform glow that lasts up to two hours.

The afterglow phosphor compound – which is similar to those found in glow-in-the-dark toys – is inexpensive, biocompatible, and negates the need for more complex methods of infusing bioluminescence in plants, like genetic modification. It simply gets injected into the leaves.

They do make it possible to adjust the ratings on your own account for the ones you disagree on. It doesn’t affect the newsletters, but I find those to be too american-specific anyway

Being able to bend backwards is genetic, and at the extremes it’s commonly called this:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker's_thumb

I haven’t heard of your case where you can’t bend it forward. Does it hurt or cause any discomfort if you try to move it forward (without help and also with some gentle pressure)?

It sounds like OP is asking where this talking point comes from in order to counter it effectively.

I don’t think the post is in bad faith and it fits the purpose of this community. It’s possible that OP is a troll, but their user history doesn’t give that impression and neither does the body of the post.

The title could have been better

That sounds rough

If you don’t mind sharing, what is your hardware setup? Maybe someone can recommend a distro that’s more likely to work out of the box with your computer. While I haven’t tried it myself, Bazzite might be better for you if it can get you gaming without having to do too much additional work:
