I get the feeling but you will need to build some patience here.

It's really hard to move people from social media and they have to do it willingly otherwise we just create a ghost town here. What I do is try to share links when I see something someone might enjoy so they see there's other social media and sometimes I got asked like: "what was this social media like a twitter alternative?" And then you explain because they are interested but even then, the majority of cases they won't switch just because of that.

The only thing we can do is keep using it, keep improving it and when things get even worse than they are on monopoly land, we will be ready to take them :)

    I mean the decision you are doing of leaving reddit and joining the fediverse is a political one and people who joins here is not because there's more people or something like that so this means there's a bias in the community towards caring about this things, and it will be like this until the fediverse doesn't become the default (if it ever happens). So just take this into account, as people say, use less the all if that bothers you.

    This is like saying that playing lottery makes you lose money and you say: then how do you explain that this person got rich?

    This studies talk about statistics and there can be outliers and is not a contradiction :)

    I love how the fediverse moves with care instead of "break stuff and move quick". I'm sure this might turn some people off but social media should not be taken lightly, specially with all the news on how it affects us.

    Keep it up Mastodon!

    Everyone complained that the single strap in the vision pro is not enough (even apple made a design with strap in the middle) and now all companies copy that bad design because it's apple...

    This issue happens regardless of your way of dealing with it. If you have instances that don't allow AI content, how will they identify when someone breaks the rule?

    That's precisely why AI content is so dangerous in the first place.

    I started using Godot in 4.0 and it's simply amazing. Doesn't take any disk space, opens in seconds, all tools needed in one place and you start creating in a matter of seconds.

    I'm so glad to leave unity behind.

    Oh it didn't occur to me to check it on gitlab! I was afraid of being abandoned or something but it seems it's active and seems a good one. Hopefully more people discovers it since I think it deserves more attention!

    Thanks for that reply! That was a great explanation :)

    I was worried the project was being abandoned or something but seems it's not. I'll definitely use that then! Hopefully more people discover it and gets more attention!

    I've been wanting to have a blog/personal website on the fediverse for a while, something close to neocities and I was wondering if you know of some platforms.

    I see a lot of people recommend WordPress but recently I just discovered Hubzilla which seems like a good option but I don't see anyone talk too much about it.

    What's the opinion on Hubzilla? and any other ideas? thanks :)

     

    Hello!

    Sorry I’m posting this here since I don’t think is specifically related to KDE but since I use KDE and is where I found it the first time I figured some of you might be able to help!

    I found a bug that seems too affect many apps and I’m not sure where to report it. Let me explain the issue and hope some of you know where to report that!

    So the other day I reported the bug on Krita that you can see on the video but later on saw that this seems to happen to many apps in Linux! So I entered a bit into a rabbit hole and tried many things. This same thing happens to GIMP, KolourPaint, etc. and it seems to be independent on the distro or the Desktop environment!

    I’ve checked on Fedora, CachyOS and SteamOS (with Wayland and with X11) and also tried KDE and Gnome. All of them had this issue and then tried Krita on a macbook and didn’t seem to have the issue (correction: seems it's speed dependent. If you move the mouse too fast it doesn't do it else it does). And some of them where different computers too.

    Does any of you know where this kind of things should be reported? This seems to be very fundamental and I have no idea where this should be reported. Any iedeas?

    Edit: Since there seems to be some confusion here's the bug report:

    SUMMARY Drawing a line with the brush creates a zig-zag pattern based on the zoom level

    STEPS TO REPRODUCE

    1. Select the Freehand Brush Tool (B)
    2. Set size to 1 px (happens in all sizes but 1 px is very clear)
    3. Zoom out with the wheel
    4. Draw a diagonal line
    5. Zoom in with the mouse wheel
    6. Draw a diagonal line

    OBSERVED RESULT The line drawn when zooming out has a zig-zag pattern to it (like a stair) while the zoom in line has less or none (depending on the zoom level).

    EXPECTED RESULT Both lines should be a smooth diagonals instead of a zig-zag pattern.

    SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0 Qt Version: 6.10.2 Kernel Version: 6.19.10-200.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

    Hardare used to draw: Logitech Gaming Mouse G502 I've also tested with the touchpad and my brother's computer with different hardware and mouse. This also happens there and even on the Steam Deck so it's definetely not a hardware issue.

    Link to the bug report I first did: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518636

    Edit 2: For all the people that say that the mouse is able to capture the dust or table irregularities (which is absurd) here is an example where you can clearly see the square patern: https://i.imgur.com/sEDyCIC.mp4

    Does anyone know where this should be reported?

     

    Hello everyone!

    I made an app that allows you to create custom trackers (you can change the values of everything and even if they add, subtract, multiply or divide) the idea was to make it versatile (though it has a very ugly UI).

    There's also the option to make notes for every tracker and the last thing I added was the ability to save! So you can even use it to save your games for playing later on.

    In the beginning I just wanted to make a simple tracker without thinking too much for others to use but then I kept adding ideas and now hopefully is useful to someone else too.

    If you have any feedback let me know and I'll see what I can do. I've made some apps but I'm not an expert!
