There hasn't been a history of behaviour resembling that of the ideals of Nazis from Felix, especially not enough to say that he partakes in those ideologies. Thankfully his "dark humour " phase ended years ago and he isn't doing these things anymore, so completely estranging him from anything for it is quite extreme, especially when I have seem some of this sentiment on Lemmy myself. Nor do I think he's a horrible person for edgy comments and actions that most of us have definitely done one way or another on the Internet.

That. He would have started YouTube at 20 and the guy is now 35. That would have happened when he was 28.

People change, people learn. That one in particular hit him hard and probably led to a lot of self reflection and all that stuff.

We have actual nazis to deal with that actually think it's a good idea. There's a huge difference between a bad dark joke and actually supporting facism. How one responds after such an incident matters a lot.

Meanwhile Elon did a literal nazi salute and isn't even denying it nor apologizing and doubling down on it.

I had my share of hitler jokes, but they were told on a context when it was seen as poking fun at a solved issue of the past in a very progressive area, when nobody thought we'd be dumb enough to witness facism ever again. Context and meaning are both very important before labeling someone for life.

To clarify a little bit for OP: the same sound device is shared between the laptop's speakers, headphone jack and its video outputs like HDMI.

It's the same sound card but under a different profile to send the audio to the HDMI instead. Technically the same also happens but more automatically when you plug in wired headphone, it triggers a port switch. It's an either or situation: it can only do one at a time except on some chipsets. That used to be an interesting audio quirk back in the days: plug in headphones and it keeps playing through the laptop speakers.

Plasma only shows independent audio devices because it's not just a global audio device selector, you can also select individual apps to go to different audio devices, for example an external mixer and a dedicated music channel.

Not with the way the protocol is designed, no. Content is pushed to other instances by basically sending the event to every subscribers, so it inherently requires some kind of active subscription to receive content. And thus the bots.

Technically, ActivityPub would support a system of private communities and profiles, where the remote user have to accept your subscription/follow first, so it makes more sense seen that way why it's not just broadcasting everything to everyone. Lemmy doesn't support that and makes all content visible to everyone, so each instance really only needs one bot user to subscribe to every community it can find, and it shows up in everyone's All feed which many use to discover content. And thus the bot subscriptions, one per instance that runs one of those.

On my small private instance it also makes sense I only receive content which I'm subscribed to, it makes my storage requirements much smaller and reduces the overall load for everyone by only federating what is necessary.

A simple workaround though would be for those bot users to have a special flag on them where instances can ignore them from the count to get a more accurate number, but it's pretty low on the priority list. Plus when you have 1k, 5k, 10k subscribers, those 50-100 bot users stop being meaningful anyway.

It does work with plain VGA still, it'll even use 32 CPU cores to render that. It is still pretty slow though, slower than RDP into the same VM even.

The old stuff just runs great for a minimal bootstrap environment. It's there, might as well use it instead of designing a stripped down Windows 11 UI just for the installer.

It's all there in the final install too, if you kill dwm you'll get those same Vista decorations (and broken modern apps).

While they do use Windows PE for modern versions of Windows, it still often looks like the previous version. Windows 8 all the way to pre-24H2 Windows 11 have Windows Vista basic decorations in the installer, like they basically never updated the installer environment.

Dude's got some balls downvoting all your comments on a thread calling them out for doing that. Gonna make the LW admin's job easy.

Real user with many comments close to a hundred upvotes, although also a decent chunk of removed comments as well.

The one user went way further back than 12h, I'm seeing it well into 3 weeks. That user hasn't downvoted this thread yet.

In the last 12 hours, this whole thread is the only thing on your profile that doesn't have at least 3 downvotes, most much more than that. There's only one repeat user across your entire profile, although you do have all your comments generally downvoted by the same users within a thread which isn't super unexpected.

Yes, admins can see all the votes.

You're kind of a downvote collector so it wasn't easy, but I didn't actually see all that much brigading. Seeing some repeat usernames and one occurrence that looks like someone did go through your profile and downvote most comments about a certain topic once, but that's all I could find. Most set of downvotes are confined to a given post.

You're really just getting downvoted a lot by a lot of different people. Your downvotes on this post have nothing in common with your other downvotes.

EDIT: Nevermind, there is indeed 2 people downvoting every comment from OP.

Imagine the outrage if the democrats banned Fox News from the white house press conferences.

That simple question would solve so many problems... Would you be outraged if your opponent did what you're doing? If yes, then it's fucking bad.

It does, I wrote it in corrupted text for a reason, but if you want something functional you can use it and then see how it set it up for you and still go set up the rest of the services yourself.

When I switched to Arch, it used the Arch Install Framework, that predates even pacstrap, and I still learned a fair bit. Although the now normal pacstrap really doesn't hide how the bootstrapping works which is really nice especially for learning.

Point is mostly if OP is too terried they can test the waters with archinstall (ideally in a VM).

I DONT want to build a system from the ground up, which I expect to be a common suggestion.

Arch kind of is building from the ground up, but without all the compiling and stuff. It's really not as hard as it sounds especially if you use a̶r̴c̷h̴i̵n̵s̴t̷a̶l̷l̵ and you do get the experience of learning how it all fits together through the great ArchWiki.

That said one can learn a lot even on Debian/Ubuntu/Pop_OS. I graduated to Arch after I felt like apt was more in my way than convenient and kept breaking on me so I was itching for a more reliable distro. But for stuff like managing systemd services and messing with Wayland, definitely doable on a Debian/Ubuntu/Pop distro. Just use the terminal more really, and it'll come slowly through exposure.
