ahh, so the game itself can use vulkan and it is not necessary for sway itself to use vulkan?? wow well that makes me very happy, thanks a lot!!

While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

My claim is admittedly not based on trying it myself. I suppose I should test out friendica and see for myself.

My issue with MBin is similar to that of Friendica. It’s more expensive to self-host. Lemmy scales better.

What I am proposing would use the same exact lemmy backend. How would it magically use more resources with the same backend?

What you said is incorrect, the difference in features offered is not the only reason for the difference in resource utilization. Lemmy meme communities have plenty of images going around.

The argument that I want to test is that Lemmy is as up to this task as LemmyBB being a phpBB experience but with a lemmy backend. I am proposing something like that.

The reason not to go with the other alternatives is that lemmy seems to do much better on resource utilization, which would make it much easier to host and scale.

Following users can be simulated by the client. Behind the scenes, every user will have their own community, and their personal posts will go there. If you follow the user, the client would make you follow that community behind the scenes.

But I suppose you would need to prevent other users from being able to post there, I did not consider that. Lemmy does not have that kind of permission control. So maybe this is not viable … hmm

You’re right that lemmy never intended to be a Facebook mock-up (and I hope my post did not seem to allude to that), but I was wondering if it could be made to be so by changing only the client but keeping the rest intact.

My limited knowledge makes me think that lemmy is easier to host, consuming less resources in general, hence why I want to consider it first. But I could be wrong.

I agree, but I think it does cross the minds of many. They just still choose not to care.

I haven’t really come into any issues on lemmy. Can you point to an example?

You’re right, I should look into the 4050 range.

I agree on this. Unfortunately this is for a gift to someone who I tried to convince to get a desktop but wouldn’t change her opinion.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Are there better alternatives?

I’m skeptical of Signal’s centralized model and its couple with Google services, among other things.

What about information like: who are the people I message, or the list of all group chats or public channels I am in? Is that encrypted?

Thanks. Is it encrypted by default? Or do I have to do something to ensure it is?

Emulation may be legal on paper, but in the end, we are rarely ever a match for such massive corporations, and a legal system that lets them get away with outspending you on legal fees.

Emulator devs should rly do their best to be anonymous

Did they just create the LLC after the lawsuit?

Reminder that paying Nintendo money is morally wrong and should be avoided when possible. Buy the consoles, sure, but pirate if you have to play the games.

Which one is objectively more bad and how?
