Thanks for the explanation!

Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted/backed up, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

Same for all free games they give, it’s up to the user to give the publisher their email

Boowoo, shut up if it’s all you have to share, no one cares

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

Need me to go on?

If I’m your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.

Man, it feels like you guys haven’t spoken to a real human in decades…

I’m talking about Mastodon and Lemmy and such since that’s what OP is complaining about

All those federated platform will only become popular if the backend is dumb and the frontend is smart, i.e. you create your account on a frontend but can use the same credentials to connect via another frontend and no matter which frontend you connect to, all content for the platform is accessible to you, there’s no admin having control over your experience, only people offering different UI experiences. Federation/defederation/deciding to host NSFW content, that’s all taken care of behind the scene just like on Reddit, for the user they’re just using Lemmy via frontend X or Y and they decide what communities and users they want to block.

All I remember of the first one was that it was brutal as fuck

“who”

Funny because that’s exactly the same process for Windows except that on Linux you then have to fuck around to setup the taskbar on the secondary monitors!

Now tell me how easy it is to setup keyboard shortcuts for display profiles on Linux vs Windows considering that Monitor Profile Switcher doesn’t exist on Linux.

I run 4 on Windows and Mint on a daily basis and setting it up on Mint was a worse experience… Sounds like a you issue if you can’t get it to work on Windows.

“It even supports multiple monitors better.”

Lol what?

I only see it for people who could easily replace their computer with a tablet. Just getting my Sound Blaster G3 (USB soundcard) to work was a pain in the ass and the only way it started working was by installing Discord and even then until a recent update I sometimes had to open discord for it to become visible in my audio devices!

I think it would be clearer if we saw the person on the bike pass by and the last panel was just the character laying on the ground

Keep dreaming, people will keep on using Windows because they don’t care about the bloat, they just want something that works and that doesn’t require fucking around for hours every time they plug something new in!

Yep, had to fuck around for a while on Mint, managed to get it working with a driver found on GitHub and disabling the default driver and making sure it’s plugged in an USB 3.0 port… As you say, plug and play on Windows.
