I’m not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I’m curious what this person means as well. You can’t vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.

I know enough Finnish people to know you’re just pulling our legs and it really means exactly what we think.

I mean, I could make a list of things I think are problems, but I’ve been using it since a bit after 9/11 so I dont think my guesses would represent new user experiences. I am mostly going off what people tell me when they try to learn it.

otherwise it’s hard to respond to such a vague statement

I wasn’t writing advice for the devs, I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn’t tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example

Unless 3.0 has solved it, the gimp has a steep UI problem and a learning curve such that mass appeal on the website would be inappropriate anyway. I love it but I love it because I’ve been using it my whole life and know it very well. Foss in general struggles with useability due to a lot of hard to overcome problems - mainly, that by the time someone is ready to contribute to any given foss project, they’re already intimately familiar with its foibles and probably have strong opinions about what UX elements are sacred cows and should not be fixed.

As a long time - pre version 2 - gimp user my first thought was “what, don’t be ridiculous” and now I dont know what to feel. Why would you do this to me personally

Just some very basic moaning about tankies and pro-luigi memes, I don’t remember too well

Eh. to some degree, enshittification is going to happen as more people come in, because more people = more shitty people. If we want to have the good niche communities that are IMO the only excellent thing about reddit, we’ll have to put up with the fact that that also means a bunch of annoying people use the service.

At least Lemmy has far, far better tools for dealing with them.

Have you considered reddit? I hear it’s a great platform for people without any sense of humour.

I hadn’t read it as “theirs”, I assume they heard it somewhere and are repeating it just as I plan to do.

Best analogy I’ve seen so far, thanks so much.

It’s not that I do my best work 8 hours before the deadline, it’s that I do my only work 8 hours before the deadline…

that feeling when your meds kick in for the first time and you realize all these other fucking assholes have been living like this their whole lives and never told you.

Yes, although it should be noted that one of the trickier parts of ADHD is most people have at least some traits of it, especially when they’re younger. It’s why our memes are so relatable.

Still get checked if you’re thinking it.

“The local grocery store is run by a neo Nazi, but they’re worried about going out of business so if I shop there I’m costing them money!”

Welcome aboard, the place is comfy and only really needs user numbers at this point.

I came back just a few days before this rush began and boy does it feel prescient

We’re on a lemmy.world community right now and people seem to be talking about it just fine…?

One of several reasons it did nothing is that most Americans aren’t interested in action. Luigi is. I don’t think his is the only action or even the best, but if other people were taking action it would be a lot more effective.

I’ve actually been interested in shorthand for years. If you want to migrate over some of the better old content from reddit, I’ll sub and see what happens

Welcome aboard, I joined in the last big exodus. It’s not the same here but it’s good and getting better.
