Reddit users lost?
This is impossible to know. It is more important to see what Lemmy is getting more so than what Reddit is loosing. At least on the fediverse the number is realistic and not something for the shareholders.

One could argue that you don't become a trillion dollar company by leaving money on the table.

Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak?

The issue with replacement for YouTube is that it needs to be both sustainable AND pay the professional content creator. This is not an easy task and the main reason why alternatives are usually running behind a subscription service.

Lemmy enjoys growth as developers pivot from Reddit amid API charging controversy
Reply in thread
These days the standard is to create an API Doc out of a OpenAPI document generated from the code itself. Someone will probably contribute to it at some point.

Yes the push-based approach of getting content with RSS is truly great. It is a bit of a shame that RSS got niche, even though most media sites still provide feeds fortunately.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market.
Reply in thread
In my opinion, Signal isn't trying to be a Matrix alternative. Anonymity between users isn't their objective, they mostly want to be a none profit alternative to WhatsApp, Messenger, etc... with strong E2E encryption. Phone numbers is ultimately the best way to discover new users as soon as you install the app.

How does Lemmy decide what goes in the hot feed?
Reply in thread
I don't think any of the algorithm is expose to other instances so that wouldn't impact the communication between instances. At the end of the day this is open source so admins can freely build a forked version of Lemmy with a slightly different algorithm.

What do you like about your Linux Distro?
For me it is Fedora as well. Before that I was using EndeavourOS but wanted to use something a bit more stable. Haven't distrohoped since!

This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
Reply in thread
There might be things Meta isn't allowed to do with WhatsApp. Also the concept of account is bit blurry on WhatsApp because you basically login with your phone number and an SMS code sent to your device. This wouldn't work as well for a service that can be used elsewhere.

Is PopOS the best for easy gaming?
If you want something that just works, PopOS is a great option yes. If you feel more adventurous you can go on something more bleeding edge (they are called like this for a reason) like EndeavourOS which is arch derivative.
If you are running W11 with Secure Boot enabled, then I would recommend you to go with Fedora as I don't think either PopOS or EndeavourOS supports it.

Smite coming to linux
Oh this is cool! People were implying that it was running because they probably turned off EAC for some time but it is actually official now!

Overkill drops Linux support for PAYDAY 2
At the end of day, games are just proprietary binary blobs so them being native or not doesn't make a huge difference. Lets be honest, native Linux game used to be second class citizen anyway even when officially supported, at least Proton does a really good job running those Windows games.

Google Messages just flicked the switch on end-to-end encryption for all RCS and group chats

The way I see it is, we don't always want anonymity. Sometimes privacy is enough and this is where Signal shine.

Is Lemmy's code base "good"?
Reply in thread
To me this sounds like a code / DB problem more so than a monolith vs microservice issue. You can totally run only the worker part of a monolith inside AWS ECS and have it autoscale, this is not specific to microservices.

Diablo IV has clearly been designed with controller in mind so the UX is great. I saw some review complain about that actually that the desktop version had some tradeoffs because of this.
When it comes to performance, I was running it at 60 fps with FSR2 enabled but I haven't tried fighting huge packs of mobs.

How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
Reply in thread
The main problem when having too many games is that just a bit of frustration can be enough to have me switch to a different one so in a sense never going very far on any of those titles. Very frustrating.

Why don't more men wear crop top ?
Because being tight is considered a beauty standard for women, not so much for men. For men this is mostly upper body muscle (shoulder, arms). A vest top would he an equivalent, and you don't see skinny guys wearing that either.

Exactly, and nothing prevent a monolith from doing vertical slicing at the database level as long as the monolith is not crossing its boundaries. This is the only scaling part that is inherent to microservices. If the issue is the horizontal scaling, microservices doesn't solve anything in this case.
Also specifically on what I understand of the Fediverse, you want something easy to host and monitor since a lot of people will roll out their own instances which are known issues when running microservices.

Right now I'm in a mix of Diablo IV, No Man's Sky and Brotato. They all play very well on the Deck!
