From a political science perspective (or most people outside the USA), most of the US has liberalist ideology, including Republican voters. The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for “freedom”; liberty.

US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism “liberalism”, conservative liberalism “conservativism”, and classical liberalism “libertarianism”. It’s silly and confusing, but it’s the world we’re in right now.

A window to the world

My Computer.

To answer the main title question: it definitely can get better, especially if you’re using common hardware with maintainers working to improve the code to handle them.

I’m one of the people with a mostly smooth Linux experience on my devices (I have similar values to other nerdy programmers and naturally purchase more similar or popular computers/parts, and I haven’t really had brand new bleeding-edge computer parts, so that might give me better odds at a smoother experience), no weird audio/WiFi/GPU issues that you often see here. The only issues I have are so inconsequential they’re not worth mentioning. And I’ve used the two OSs you’ve used.

So hopefully Lemmy doesn’t catch on so will that those folks come here in force, too. For now at least, it’s much better.

At the very least, I suspect Lemmy, as a federated network, has more power to filter them. We saw years ago what happened when the Wolfballs bigots tried to join, they were eventually isolated by most other instances who continued to run without them. So as long as we can retain a situation where the largest instances actually take a solid stance against assholes and trolls and bigots, then it becomes much easier to make them all optional, shunned to register on the more liberalist permissive instances.

Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

“no aerobics” DNR

Does this mean DNR only if requiring artificial respiration? I couldn’t find “no aerobics” online.
