  • bluesky will eventually enshitify like reddit and twitter did and like all social media platforms with investors/financiers behind them always do. (reddit in particular promised not to enshitify at the beginning just like bluesky is promising right now).

    be ready to find a new social platform like you had to do with reddit in another 4 to 9 years if you go with bluesky.

    even bluesky’s original creator already left bluesky because of the enshitification and created nostr instead to compete with it.

  • besides the head socket; this was me in 2005 as a lowly IT analyst with an entire laboratory’s worth of screens displaying glxgears 6 days per week making sure all of the workstations’ display drivers were working correctly before deploying them to the engineers. that 6th day was me coming in on a saturday or sunday to take advantage of the REALLY nice and expensive hardware to try out the few games that worked on linux at the time. lol







  • i feel that x11 support is still better than wayland’s at this stage and if you’re specifically wondering about plasma, it only just recently starting officially working with wayland in its most recent release so you’re probably not yet left behind.

    i started purchased linux laptops & workstations from a linux company a few years ago and that ensured that i don’t have problems like the one you’re experiencing and lemmy has taught me that all the smooth sailing w those linux rigs have given me, has made me fall behind; so i’m buying the cheapest and most proprietary windows laptop i can find and installing linux on it to use as my daily driver to sit next to my work laptop.



  • i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

    it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.
