Weeeeiiiiird, I’d be curious what happened with his accout

Ah, I should’ve assumed, ironically enough, it’s only encouraging me to delete my account
Making use of Shreddit right now :)

Anyone else suddenly getting Reddit followers? I’ve yet to purge my account, and my account, which has no real activity, is suddenly getting an influx of followers. wth is going on over there? lol

Of course! Thanks for coming to my TED talk :P
I really hope they can add that option, but I get the feeling it’s looooow on their priority list since it’s perceived as a feature. But here’s hoping :)

Same boat as UrbenLegend, it’s noticeable when playing FPS’s. It’s like the latency you experience when playing on modern game consoles, if you don’t notice it, then that’s great for you, but oncenyou get used to the low latency responses of PC gaming, it’s really hard to go back, not so much for how it impacts how well you do, but because the latency suddenly feels like you lack control.

I’m not sure if it has a different name, and I apologize if I’m saying things you already know. Viewport is basically just what’s visible on your screen.

Wayland, for optimization and security, suspends apps not visible on your screen. Normally, this is a really great feature, but it becomes problematic for me.

For instance, I’m playing an mmo, I keep a browser open on another virtual desktop so I can find things I need and the game doesn’t alt-tab very well. While I’m on the second virtual desktop, it suspends my game, the mmo assumes I’ve disconnected, and logs me out. This is becoming more of an issue with most games now being live service, so I can’t just queue for a game in Overwatch, then go browse on the other vdesktop.

Let’s say you don’t use virtual desktops. I play music from my computer while I’m cleaning the house. Screen locks, music stops. I know, I can use caffeine to keep it from sleeping, but I shouldn’t have to, and what if I want to leave the room and not have to worry about what kind of damage a family member can do without having to know my login?

It’s technically a good feature, and I would absolutely keep it on if it were on my work computer, but it just doesn’t fit for my personal rig. It’s not an optional function since it’s considered a big win for security, but I’d love the option to toggle it off so I can keep using my computer the way that I want to. It may sound silly, but it drove me back to xorg, despite me otherwise loving Wayland.

That’s amazing!!! Great news! Now just need the option to disable viewport suspension, I’d be on it 100% of the time

I hopped on Manjaro back before people started flaming it to kingdom come. I’m still using it 4 years later and still loving it 😊 I play with other distros on another computer for funsies, but my home rig stays the same

I think it does send the request the first time you click, but it takes a while to get a response from another server. Try it with some communities that are local to your server and you’ll notice it’s not so much an issue. I’m not a Dev and not am authority on the topic, but I think it puts your request into a queue, this helps make sure that your request makes it to the requested server in the case that one of those servers is temporarily down for maintenance or updates.

What I think needs to happen is just to provide a visual response to indicate that your request is sent and awaiting a response, which doesn’t usually happen until you click it a second time.

Ah, that makes sense, thank you for educating me!

Closest thing I’m seeing on the Github is https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1279 Which has a dev comment writing it off as a non-issue. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding or somehow I’m an edge-case on two different browsers on two different computers and different filtering combos, which seems pretty unlikely.

Basically it’s the concept that AI becomes “sentient”, has it’s own motives, and ability to learn

For some reason, I thought it was interchangeable terminology, I’m glad to understand better now. I could see a lot of P2P’s forgoing encryption then, since presumably you’re not hopping over any other devices or networks.

Aaaah, got it, thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I apologize for my incorrect message then. From these comments, I’m inclined to say Matrix remains OP’s best option.

Thank you for educating me! 😊

Ah, and P2P would have no middle man doing the hand-off?

I apologize, I was thinking End-to-End. Though would someone mind enlightening me to the difference? Is is just multi-client support? Or that there can be a broker in between?

Also, to everyone currently roasting me, here is what I was referencing

Amazing how every prediction the Reddit community has made re: this situation has been coming true. They called this well before the blackouts began.

Matrix is great, Element has a really nice UI for it. Signal also does work without a phone number, in fact it doesn’t really work for SMS anymore. Signal provides P2P for any communications with another Signal user. Matrix supports P2P as long as you set it up (encrypt a channel) and I think DM’s are P2P

Edit: So Matrix is cool, End to End, NOT P2P, and probably the right decision for OP.

In your profile settings is a way to set the default. Some users have reported a visual bug where when you go back to the main page it will say that you have a different sorting method selected, but the results of the page should still reflect what you’ve set as your default. We’re all Alpha Testers for Lemmy :)

Apparently it’s just a visual thing, whatever you’ve set your profile to in the browser extends to your Jerboa app.
