I love this instance in principle, but it has had recurring technical problems since before I joined, and I don’t have any reason to think that will change. I suppose they just don’t have the resources to keep up with lemmy issues. I’m using a different instance now.

Disappointing that it doesn’t show anything at all without javascript.

SomaFM uses shoutcast/icecast streams, so just about any half-decent media streaming device or software can play it.

It reduces the drive’s lifespan.

Let’s remember that swapping frequency and volume are system-dependent; practically zero on many systems. On a well-provisioned system that doesn’t swap much, having swap space on an SSD can be easier on the environment and wallet than buying and powering a separate device for it.

Nevertheless, I agree that minimizing SSD writes is worthwhile, and reject the notion that an SSD’s useful lifetime ends when I’m done with it. (See my other comment.)

I try to keep in mind that replacement shouldn’t mean landfill. When my needs have outgrown an SSD, it gets repurposed, donated, or sold. Old ones still work great in computers used in education, special-purpose systems, test environments, refurbished laptops, appliance-like machines, etc.

In the long run, conserving SSD life while I own it translates into less waste and pollution in the world.

Rather than guessing at whether it’s swapping, why not check your swap usage? Running free -h in a shell will give you a brief overview of memory usage. Various GUI system monitors will graph it.

You can also find out what process is hitting your storage so hard with a tool like iotop.

Do note that if you intend to use Debian for gaming, you’ll probably want to enable Backports for access to newer kernel and firmware packages.

Most modern SSDs are NVMe devices, so your question doesn’t really make sense.

Do you mean between an HDD and and SSD?

Or maybe a SATA SSD and an NVMe SSD?

I expect MatrixRTC will be capable of screen sharing if it isn’t already, so this is probably just a matter of time, so long as Matrix gets the sponsors they need to continue their work.

I don’t find it surprising at all. Lots of software bugs remain hidden until some circumstance triggers them. Different hardware, different levels of system load, different filesystems… all sorts of things can make a difference.

For what it’s worth, I was using packaged builds on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Debian.

Glad you’ve been lucky. :)

I’ve tried it several times over the years, but was disappointed every time to find that it was very crashy. I hope they get that sorted out.

I would be satisfied with people not making wild, misleading, insulting claims about others in the first place.

I wonder why you’re so intent on arguing in support of that behavior.

I don’t know if any of what you claim is true, since I haven’t followed those discussions. However, even if true, none of it would mean they are anti-LGBT.

I think this would fit better in another community:

!til@lemmy.world

Servo is a web rendering engine, not a browser.

Also, Ladybird is newer, and therefore news to more people. That, along with the fact that it only recently became a stand-alone project, could explain why you see more talk about it lately.

No one is trying to hurt their characters.

Then I suggest not spreading comments referencing “anti lgbt stuff” when (as far as we have seen) there is nothing anti-LGBT about them. Even if you mean no harm, it can do damage, by coloring people’s perception of the project and its leadership.

What about the anti lgbt stuff? Thoughts…?

It is important to remember that turning down a pull request does not make a person (or project) anti-LGBT.

Sadly, I have seen bullying and brigading from people who claim to be supporting inclusiveness, more than a few times. That behavior alone would be enough to sour me on them personally, and on any change they had submitted.

And, of course, there are other perfectly valid reasons to decline a PR as well.

Asking for changes we would like to see is fine. Demanding them is not. Resorting to character assassination when we don’t get what we want is absolutely not.

Technically not snake oil.

Sony used to make compact variants of their flagship Xperia phones. Good specs. Good battery life. Good camera. Good display. Good sound. Good reception. Headphone jack. SD card slot. Unlockable bootloader, so they could be de-googled.

Sadly, the “compact” models grew slightly larger with each model year, and even a not-so-compact one hasn’t been released in a while.
