I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.

This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.

Proper open source, GPLv3

You’re single-handedly saving this entire thread. I was about to delete it for being off topic.

You still need a HDR-capable screen.

it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).

I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don’t even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn’t ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it’s just Steam’s built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.

Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn’t enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I’m happy the touch pads exist.

People use the official Reddit app voluntarily?

No Lemmy 1.0 preparation commits, though.

I’ve got a couple of reports that this is not about the Fediverse. It took me a while to be able to look at the reports and since some almost entirely Lemmy-focused discussions have taken place, so I’m leaving this post up because of the discussions.

This is not a precedent to post random off topic stuff, though.

Yeah, especially for new AMD hardware a rolling release distribution is must have. My personal recommendation is openSUSE but the specific pick is secondary.

I feel like Windows tries with every change to push it’s users to Linux.

Even their core applications move to being web based.

There are other vision conditions where people cannot see letters in dark mode that well. Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it’s just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it’s just as valid.

PixelDroid is a client that supports dark mode.

Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.

So yeah, no proper dark mode means it’s a crap app.

I’ve always assumed Meta’s investment in Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility was purely to show the EU, “Hey look, we’re trying to follow the open standard.”

Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility isn’t available in the EU. European Threads profiles cannot enable ActivityPub federation.

I agree with the sentiment but this here is not a complaints forum.

Please report that user and his communities to the admins of the instances he’s registered at. A quick look at the sidebars of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee would suggest that their admins banning him is a slam dunk.

Maybe ask at !support@lemm.ee and !main@sh.itjust.works what to do?

On the grounds of !fediverse not being a complaints forum, I’m going to lock this post.

Honestly, please tell me more about how I can commercialize this posts.

I’m not your business consultant. If you want to hire me, DM me. Don’t spam this Lemmy community.

I think you misunderstood the request to “share” there. They’re most likely talking about boosts, Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. Lemmy, I think, doesn’t implement boosts.

It doesn’t, making the posting to Lemmy completely pointless, even if it wasn’t a commercial experiment. Cross-posts don’t count as boosts.

Isn’t this directly about the #Fediverse?

Seems like your primary interest is to measure commercial reach and so far you made no argument to the contrary. I’m not against commercial content in the Fediverse. In fact, I’m in favor on giving users the choice what they follow and what they don’t follow but that question hasn’t been asked by you here. You just made your post and all ~30k subscribers here are the lap rats for your experiment.

Mastodon users mindlessly tagging entire Lemmy communities are a common annoyance and if your analytics tool is the same as in the past, it doesn’t even register any interactions from there anyway, making your experiment even more pointless but not really a pity to me that Lemmy is invisible to your advertisers:

Well, the ad for my employer (as an WP-link) came from you, didn’t it?

You posted from that commercial domain, Wikipedia is non-commercial.

And this is a good way, I think.

That’s a weak argument for why your post isn’t spam. We here at Lemmy did not agree beforehand to participate in your experiment how far your commercial posts reach.

So this is a test post you ask users to repost? And by you, I mean a paid writer for Heise, a commercial business? Looks to me at best as a meaningless test post, at worst an unpaid ad for your employer.

How is this not spam and why should I not remove this from !fediverse@lemmy.world?

PS: Note that merely downvoting is not an argument. Reply with an argument if you think that’s a worthwhile post to a Lemmy community.
