Meh, an RGB notification LED was still much more glanceable. I agree that it’s somewhat redundant, but I had OLED phones with notif LEDs and it was still nice.

Ah I see, ty

If you’re on Android why not just use revanced or Newpipe? Both are excellent and I haven’t had issues with revanced since this change.

Yes, a wiki is an EXCELLENT idea. IDK if there are any plans to add wiki functionality on Lemme, but man it’d be nice.

Imagining the Mozilla AI as a personified Firefox and Thunderbird fighting off Cortana, some BARD (sorry) and a bunch of generic evil corporate AIs just makes me excited that Mozilla would be the one fending everyone off.

What’s the best way to export everything? The name of the theme I used is in the info panel there but if there’s a way for me to export everything as I have it set I’m happy to help.

Otherwise I can get all the names of the different themes for ya.

No I mean things like settings applets/notification tray/widget functionality being better integrated into the overall desktop environment.

And customizing just results in less “jank” than Gnome. IDK how else to describe it, but it just feels like a DE that was actually designed with functionality over looks. Not to say I think it looks bad, but there’s definitely less emphasis on “looking nice” over having the most robust experience, which I appreciate.

I do also like the broad strokes similarities to Windows just because things are where I expect a little more, but not really what I meant by mature, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, just feels much more mature/functional, it’s really nice.

As a long-time Windows user, things like settings or notifications are laid out much more logically, as well as I feel like everything in KDE is just a little better integrated than Gnome. Also a lot faster for me to get it to a point where I feel like I like it, and it seems to use a lot less system resources (although it’s been a couple years since I daily’d linux, so it’s possible that’s different on Gnome these days).

But otherwise I don’t have a whole lot of specifics, it just feels a lot more mature in general, like I don’t have to search for anything I need DE-wise, it’s always right where I’d expect and extremely well-built. And any extra functionality from add-ins works nicely.

Anyone know of a way to “mate” widgets to the taskbar on KDE? So that when I hit the super button I get my widgets popping over any active apps…

I searched for a while and couldn’t find anything, but if anyone got any special sauce I’d love to know.

Edit: just noticed the extra start menu on the right side - lol that’s where that went

The whales are the devs IRL

I think it’s a bit of both. Content itself is pretty lacking tbh - and I say this as someone who hasn’t exactly contributed any quality content, but I have definitely enjoyed the overall community, it reminds me a lot of reddit 10 years ago tbh.

Yeah I created a lot of content for reddit, so there’s the part of me that as a creator wants to pull my content from a platform that I don’t want to profit off of me any longer.

But there’s also the part of me that has seen my content get reposted endlessly, which to me is always fun to see. And I want the originals to be available to people still.

It’s a tough call. I stopped posting anything after the app shutdown, and have basically all but stopped using the site, so I hold no attachment to my account at this point, I’d just hate for all of my content to become harder to find.

Maybe I should just set up my own instance or even just a website with all my gifs and such.

Yup. I stopped posting/commenting on reddit after third party apps were shut down, and now I’m fully on Lemmy.

Not deleting my reddit or anything yet, but reddit lost me, and I created lots of OC for that site. It’ll be interesting to see, but anecdotally reddit feels like it’s lost something since the shutdown. Maybe that’s just me tho.

And as someone who lives right outside SF, yes it’s one of the best cities for public transit in the US, but it can still take 2 hours to go somewhere that would take 30mins in a car.

Not all the time - sometimes it’s just as fast as a car, but often enough that it’s a deterrent.

And mind you, I live literally across the street from a train stop, so public transit is way more convenient for me than for most in the area.
