So basically, Google realized they fucked up by tightly integrating their browser with their OS, and now they're doing what they should've done in the first place by uncoupling them.
It'd be badass if someone used this opportunity to make a ChromeOS fork based around Firefox.

I've heard of this before. Stupid question, but what's the risk of being banned from Discord for using it?

2020 was such a shit year in computing. So many things got killed off. CentOS, Windows 7, Flash, and Python 2.x, off the top of my head, and probably some other things as well.
I mean yeah, most of these things were getting long in the tooth, but they were widely used and it would've been nice if they were all supported longer.

I'd love it if the KDE devs made Baloo and Akonadi optional. Their insistence on including them reminds me of Micro$oft's insistence on bundling Internet Explorer and integrating it into the OS shell in Windows 98.

Here's hoping that they don't.

So in other words, we still don't know yet.

"Them" being Threads or Kbin?
Title, pretty much.

So, is kbin.social not defederating from Threads then? I'll be really disappointed if that's the case.

I'm a Linux user, but I like having control over my own hardware, and I don't want my next PC to be an underpowered thin client designed only to work with a commercial cloud OS. I hope this doesn't take off any time soon.

I actually had no idea EVGA made motherboards at all until I saw this. Last thing I bought from them was a power supply many years ago. Whatever the case, it sounds like this has been debunked.

Sounds like it was. From the article:
Update 07:45 UTC: We've heard from workers at EVGA Spain "it's just another day at the office". So maybe it was only Kingpin/the OC team in TW that has resigned, or the whole story is completely untrue.
Update 16:41 UTC: We just received the following statement from EVGA:
We saw those message and they are rumors. Our Taiwan office is still operating and Kingpin is still with EVGA. EVGA is still doing business and supporting its customers. Thanks for reaching out
Fuck Meta and fuck Threads. We should NOT federate with them. [\#kbinMeta](https://kbin.social/tag/kbinMeta)

I'm surprised the number isn't higher than that tbh.

As they say, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

I'm OK with them. There's definitely such a thing as overusing them, but I think they can be useful for conveying tone.

I guess I'm getting old. I do turn 30 later this year. :p

Agreed. I was hoping Reddit's in-joke culture wouldn't make it here. sigh

Maybe it is short-form content that's popularized it. I don't use TikTok, and I don't watch a lot of YouTube Shorts either.
On that note, don't you think it's funny how short videos used to be the norm on YouTube a long time ago? I kinda miss those days.

I see your logic. I still wonder how this became popular though. Is it just one of those things people have been doing for a long time that I didn't notice, and then one day I noticed it and I started seeing it everywhere?
This is something I first noticed about a year ago, give or take. Like, I'll say "the sky is purple" and someone will respond with "it's blue?" Why do people do that? It's such a strange thing for me, because I'm used to question marks being used for questions, not statements. It feels like at some point, I accidentally fell into an alternate dimension where this is considered a normal use of punctuation. I know English is a continually-evolving language, so things like this shouldn't be unexpected. Even still, this development feels bizarre to me.

I like the changes that have been made so far. It's neat having a positive reputation score for once. 😅

I thought this was going to be a thread debating the merits of the two disc formats, and I'm disappointed that it's not. :(
I know that particular format war didn't last very long, but I wonder if there's anything HD-DVD ended up doing better than Blu-Ray.
As for the actual topic of this thread, I'm not sure if it's the right analogy. Blu-ray and HD-DVD were incompatible with one another, while Kbin and Lemmy are mostly compatible. I'm not entirely sure what to compare it to, maybe Linux vs. BSD?
This is a feature I really miss from Reddit. I'm not interested in getting inbox notifications on everything I post, especially if I've posted an article that's really blown up and I've already gotten the response I was looking for.
I've been hearing about it a lot over the last few days, but I don't exactly understand what's going on. What's going on with Red Hat, and how does it affect Linux users?
I like the overall lack of in-jokes I've encountered here so far, and I want things to stay that way. This might be an unrealistic thing to hope for, but I like good, pure, discussion, as boring as that may be for some people.
Is this just not a feature that's been implemented yet, or am I missing something?
