Why the fuck is Lemmy making votes visable to moderators? This is RIPE for corruption and abuse. Secret ballot is the only way voting works!

As a die hard Sta Wars fan, I'm pretty hesitant to even identify as that now. It was 100% shitty toxic fans that ruined this show. I guarantee most people saw the negative internet backlash and never even bothered with the show. Incels backlash is organized and planned. This shit has more reviews on RT than Mandorian, a 5 year old show after 2 weeks. It's all bots and fake review spam. Almost all criticism I saw leveled at the show was from people who had CLEARLY never seen Star Wars, and were NOT watching The Acolyte. They were bitching that Dathomiri Force Witches were woke lesbians! Give me a fucking break Force Witches have been part of SW lore for 30 fucking years. Acolyte was amazing Star Wars and I pity the fans who are too stupid to enjoy it.

They use discord because it's popular. Insert Ouroborus argument here, and at the end of the day it's still the most popular app.

Using this logic why shouldn't I just download chrome and forget this project exists?

The flickering thing is because you're using Wayland and Nvidia GPU. If you switched to X11 (losing HDR support, unfortunately), the flickering goes away. However! I would recommend updating your system to KDE 6.1, which I believe has the explicit sync fix.

They banned the Plex mod, who was doing good work, for basically nothing as far as I can tell. Effectively killed the community. Rest in peace BrooklynMan

What this study shows is that a gun is likely the first choice of gun owners who are trying to kill themselves. It cannot determine how much less likely they would have been to kill themselves had they not owned a gun, if at all.

I wonder how many people choose other methods of suicide (Hanging/Drug OD) when they had a gun available.

100% Empire. Star Wars ships with hyper drivers are so much faster than Warp Drives. It takes the Millennium Falcon hours or a day to get across the galaxy. It takes Voyager 80+ years. It takes weeks to traverse the Federation alone. If the Empire was completely out classed in combat by Federation technology, and that's a big if, the Empire would have zero issues just glassing every planet while the Federation would take days to respond.

I am also a recovering microsimp. I even bought a god damn Windows Phone 7 at launch. Metro UI had such promise!

As an MN native I've always had a soft spot for Jesse and I've been willing to overlook some of his more eccentric attributes. However if he endorses RFK Jr it means he's truly gone off the deep end and I would be sad. Say it ain't so Jesse! 😭

EndevourOS (alt Manjaro) Cons: Manjaro has died on me once, and is a hassle to setup right and keep up. EndevourOS has no Package Manager GUI, and is over reliant on the Terminal. Can’t use pacman in a terminal the commands are confusing.

I hear this and I highly recommend Bauh. Its a GUI package manager that supports Arch, AUR, Flatpak and Snaps. Will even automatically generate snapshots in Timeshift before you update. Super easy to use. I can't recommend it enough, I use it on all my desktops.

Element is just a client, while Matrix is the chat protocol. But yeah, I have recently switched my discord server to a matrix instance and its been pretty great. Some pushback by users who didn't care about privacy or security, but overall the tech is solid. We didn't like that discord was moderating private chats and they don't offer any type of encryption.
