[EndeavourOS] Addendum to the official installation tutorial

Hi everyone,
I moved from W11 to EndeavourOS as daily driver and I encountered the following problem while installing LoL using the official tutorial with Lutris https://leagueoflinux.org/install/lutris/: after the client would finish downloading and I exited it the installation would remain stuck indefinitely.

Turns out for it to finish you either have to exit the client from the system tray or kill the process from terminal. Then everything works fine.

PS: I'm dumbfucked by the fact that LoL runs better on EndeavourOS than it did on W11.

Subscriber count on federated magazines not accuretely shown

While reading this article https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/97300/Consulation-sur-la-direction-de-cette-communaute I observed OP said something about the community being over 1000 members, yet in the sidebar it was showing to me (in kBin) there were only 92. I double checked by going to lemmy.world and those 92 were ONLINE subscribers.

Has anyone else encountered this bug?

My Brilliant Friend really is brilliant

I think many of you know the feeling of being in a reader's slumber: you both want to read but whatever you are reading right now just isn't cutting it. This was my case for the past months: while I absolutely loved reading The Karamazov Brothers, I barely made any progress due to it being quite a dense book and me being stressed with my Bachelor's Thesis.

But here comes Elena Ferrante with her (?) My Brilliant Friend. A very easy to read book that is also filled with depth. Maybe my recent trip to Napoli, the city in which the book's story takes place, had an effect on me, but I loved the way Ferrante paints the post-war city with all its harsh conditions: poverty, violence, lack access to education, young girls' being treated as sort of a commodity, while boys are forced to work from a young age to help their families and so much more.

It's really refreshing to read women written by a woman (presumably, as Ferrante is just a nickname and her true identity isn't public) and it already feels (at least for me) as a classic despite being written a mere decade ago. I'm looking forward to finishing the other 3 of the Neapolitan Novels, but Ferrante is already on my best authors.

Are comments broken?

Didn't have this problem the past days, but today I got notifications from people replying to my comments. I click on them, and it navigates me to the article's page, but I cannot see the replies to my comments.
Just as to make sure they are not deleted I navigated to those user's profile and saw that the comments indeed exist, but are not displayed correctly on the article.
Happened with a reply from someone on lemmy and someone from kbin.
Anyone else experiencing this?

LE: seems to only happen in Tree view of the comments, don't know if this is a new feature or not. Classic and Chat views work fine.

Sustainability of kbin

First of all I would like to suggest to @ernest to take a day or two break from working on kbin and in general to not overwork himself.
Secondly, some sort of Patreon should be setup to streamline the donation process. I, probably like many others would like to just set up a recurring donation and forget about it.
Thirdly, I think it would be great we also have something like https://beehaw.org/post/428209 to keep this as transparent as possible.
