A KDE developer made a blog post on the 21st talking about X11 stats on KDE and the numbers show the majority are already on Wayland.

At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session, and a little over 60% of all telemetry-activating users (including Plasma 5 users) are on Wayland.

Well from the bottom of the article apparently someone is looking to carry on with X11 and has started Xlibre (with what looks like TONS of new drama).

They are essentially doing the same as KDE, whose statement was linked in the article.

For now, the Plasma X11 session remains in maintenance mode. That means critical issues—like login failures or major regressions—will still be addressed. However, minor bugs are unlikely to get fixes unless funded, and new X11-specific features are off the table entirely.

Gnome

First things first: Xorg isn’t being abandoned outright. It remains maintained and is receiving necessary security patches and bug fixes. However, active development has effectively halted, with most of its original contributors now focused on Wayland.

Edit - added Gnome quote effectively saying the same thing.

My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.

Indeed, I also do this with texts and voicemails. Then the shame and anxiety monster eats me and I either breakdown and read them or swipe them away and hope for the best.

Work emails I do better because it is my job at stake, but only just barely. Voicemails are 100% ignored though, and currently have 30 “missed calls” I’m never going to look at in the hope they vanish through the power of some outside force.

Because you have to produce as much as possible if you are to compete with the corporate farms. This means for example maybe using the scary dangerous pesticide allowing the farm to get the greatest yield, they’d rather not, but the alternative is their farm goes under.

If things were regulated (and enforced), then corporate farms are disincentivised and farmers would produce safer food for consumption.

You implied that my anti-Nazi comment from a different post was somehow a negative, thus making this thread about Nazis/fascism. It was a poor example of what I think you wanted to convey in terms of how you see political discourse on Lemmy.

You also for some reason see Nazis the same as people that disagree or down vote you about browser choice. That seems like a giant leap, and conflating the two is painting Lemmy with a broad brush. They are two wildly different issues and deserve different discussions as to why.

And my original comment came from someone that just stated that Fediverse was worse than the Commercial versions that are havens for fascists. And also the fact they track you around the Internet. So I did ask the question, and now you’re trying to turn this into some kind of douche wagon rodeo apparently.

I took your comment to mean you didn’t think we had enough Nazis on Lemmy, to which I will respond hostile towards. If you are anti-Nazi then you should not use the idea of an anti-Nazi comment to illustrate this fake idea of to narrow of political viewpoints on Lemmy.

Also, debating fascism is a whole different thing than people giving you shit over your choice of browser or Lemmy client. You shouldn’t conflate the two.

So you are saying Lemmy can’t compete because we don’t have enough Nazis? Weird take.

This fallacy that you can have a wide range of viewpoints anymore is dead, and is parroted by folks that miss the days of yelling at people on the Internet. However, Trump has taken his cult far enough Right they are beyond meaningful discussion/debate. You can’t debate things that aren’t even based in reality, and when you call them on it they dismiss it as hearsay/honest mistake/do your research.

For example, the media called Musk on his quote of the US sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza. His response was nonsense.

"Some of the things that I say will be incorrect, and should be corrected. So, nobody’s going to bat a thousand. I mean, any – you know, we will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”

In which regard? Not enough Nazis? Not enough analytics following you around the net building a profile on you?

True, but this also isn’t corporate America that needs to chase users to make the graph go up. New users will come or they won’t, I think chasing them is a fool’s errand.

Edit Oops, an important word!

I would run one if it was worth running, but for me none of them reach the default level let alone exceeds it. But I guess everyone is different, and it’s open source so anyone can see all the code and make it look however they want. So I guess we just really need someone that does frontend design and wants to make something better.

I believe, like I saw mentioned above, that that default theme is also set to change with Lemmy 1.0 release.

Same here for 99% of the time, Sync for Lemmy is how I see and prefer this type of site.

I am almost certainly not the “normal” user, but the default theme is much better usability wise than the “p” version. The one would have me looking for an alternative UI/app.

All good, social is hard and anxiety provoking!

social

Nothing against Southern California =)

Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.

My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(

Probably for most of the same reasons that IRC isn’t mentioned for fediverse chat, the main one being that they don’t use one of the newer federation protocols. They don’t talk the same federation protocol language, so you can’t really group them under the same category.

Why do the work for a for profit corp instead of just making a Mastodon server? I also wish we had a different term for these for-profit leeches that want to vacuum up free fediverse content for profit. I may be in the minority, but they are not Fediverse in my eyes. And we should not be working on ways to incorporate them, but on ways to block them off completely, and quarantine them to their own little islands in cyberspace.
