For real. I love Firefox but the mobile app is just not good. I have to use Chromium instead of Firefox on my phone because of how choppy and buggy it is 🥲

For me, Firefox doesn’t feel as smooth as Chromium, in performance and scrolling. There are also some bugs that occur to me occasionally, but it’s not consistent. One bug could occur then I’d never see it again.

A lot of my gripes with Firefox can be fixed with lepton and betterfox, love those two, can’t use Firefox without them :)

Can’t forget uBlock, too.

Not too much nowadays, actually. I just want more polish and wish Mozilla was less incompetent. Most popular browsers already had this feature and just now we got it, Firefox tends to be more late on features. But yeah Mozilla, a shitty AI sidebar is exactly what we need.

Firefox is finally catching up on other browsers. Vertical tabs, and now this? Let’s hope Mozilla stops focusing on AI BS, and makes Firefox actually better.

I mean, yeah. But it gets tiring to switch between them all the time.

I actually installed NixOS again, and I’m trying to figure out the solution. God help me with NVIDIA.

It can’t be that, I use NixOS. But yeah, GUI installers are buggy as shit for me too. And i don’t use an old card.

Nvidia is just universally shit :(

I have an rtx 3060, i don’t think that counts as old. I feel you, should have gone with AMD

Probably dictatorships.

In saudi (technically not a dictatorship, but an autocratic monarchy) corruption is so rampant and widespread that it’s not even suprising anymore. The biggest culprits are the royal family, so of course they’d make saudi cushy for criminals like them.

Also, the workers rights here are horrible, fucking SLAVERY is still legal.

My problem isn’t installing, it’s after installing. Vsync has extra bad latency, frames are reversed, and more. And this is on 565, the latest version.

Games are unplayable.

I heard of an ALVR alternative made by Collabora, you could try it. Dunno if it’s good or not.

That just makes it even weirder, how does seemingly nobody have any problems on NVIDIA, except a small minority?

What driver version are you using?

I wish. NVIDIA is still a buggy mess for me, and it seems that I am the only person with these issues, I see people praising NVIDIA on Wayland all the time now.

And VR is still bad on Linux.

I still love Linux, but I can’t use it for now. God i miss NixOS );

Bluesky may be a circle-jerk, but at least it isn’t a literal neo nazi platform. We still have a ways to go till the fediverse goes mainstream.

Hm, good point, It seems I over complicated the whole process.

Thanks for sharing your post by the way, it’s very well written.

Good read, thanks for sharing. But i think both of us are over estimating the tech literacy of the average user. Many of them look at software, or ideas, or platforms at surface level, and don’t care much about how software works internally.

The average user isn’t going to care about federation, and might not even understand it. To us and the OP of the reddit thread, we’re familiar with federation, and have gotten used to it. It seems easy for us.

This is why i think the bluesky exodus is going to be useful, because it may inspire new users to learn about federation, and later on, the fediverse.

We definitely should make a poll to understand our demographics, eventually. Maybe i’ll do it one day. It would be a huge benefit for us users and developers.

As for reasons why people don’t choose to try lemmy, i remember before i joined lemmy that i heard warnings of the developers and community denying genocides, making up false information, and being toxic in general etc. I also couldn’t wrap my mind around instances. That definitely soured my opinion, to be honest. Of course, now i know those are only a couple of instances that could easily be blocked, but the average user isn’t going to understand instances, federation, etc.

The reason why bluesky was so successful was because it’s easy. It has pseudo-federation, but it ““conveniently”” chooses the main server for you. That’s why most users are on bsky.social. Simple, but incredibly centralized. It defeats the point. Also, the UI is very similar to old twitter. Lemmy/mbin are more radical in terms of differences, this makes it more niche.

I just don’t think people are ready for the fediverse, yet. Maybe in a couple of years, people will start joining us, but for now, we’re the minority.

Maybe not, but nowadays, most are. And you are correct, they believe in free markets and private property, with little regulation.

I should have specified, i was talking about classical liberalism. Social liberals are center-left to left wing.

The way i see it, the barebones definition of right wing and left wing is that leftism supports minimization, or abolishment of hierarchy, and equality, both class and social. You don’t have to be 100% of all these points to be left wing, just a degree of it.

The right wing believes that hierarchies are natural, and inevitable, or even desirable. They believe inequality is natural, due to social differences. Most of them believe that authority is good (not exclusive to right wing politics, there are authoritarian leftist ideologies) with libertarians and ancaps being an exception.

Classical liberals believe in free market, and generally have negative views on social services, taxes, and such.

Social liberals believe in a mixed economy, and favour social services, and believe in social justice (also class equality, but not a huge talking point for them). I think this makes them center, and at most, center-left (See social democracy or the nordic model). What makes them different than socialists and communists is that they are not quite radical in comparison to them, socialists desire to minimize wealth inequality (and inequality in general. politically, socially, etc) as much as possible.

Another point that you brought up is private property. I think this is also a defining factor on why I think liberals tend to be more right leaning.

You can still believe in markets, and be far left. Socialism, is when the workers own the means of production. It’s a pretty barebones definition, which makes it possible to have free markets, AND socialism. See Mutualism, Market Socialism, and Titoism

My intent was not to cause division, I originally meant to clear things up for the user I was originally replying to, but things quickly descended into arguing about semantics. I agree that we should all work together to eliminate the rising threat of far right, fascist parties worldwide. That is what we should be focusing on.

I’m tired over me bikeshedding, So i’m just going to forfeit out of this argument.

Have a great weekend

How could you improve something that is already perfect?

Anyways, outer worlds is also awesome, still a win
