Eh, heavy primer will take care if most anything with a few coats. It's only marginally more work

Then your an absolute moron. This should be praised, they could have said fuck linux entirely but instead they said "hey native is costing us too much time, so instead we will just work on making sure our windows code is proton compatible"

That should be the goal, tired of worthless native purist assholes pushing developers away from Linux entirely by being little bitches about it. Game working is game working if proton is the easier path for the developer then cheer them on.

How in the actual hell is technology connections not on that list and also why have I not seen it in any of the comments yet

Just cut them right down the middle. Four slices each person takes one and the last is left to rot. It says share equally not share the entire apple

My last dinner was 12hrs of cooking for a 10min meal. I love slow cooker beef and veggies stew

It actually does help! Many commercial grade dryers have exactly this feature and it does exactly that. You can sometimes find it at brand new laundromats and I can confirm it somehow magically stops them from wrapping into one big old ball

Hell yeah, both because fuck the cybertruck AND because i want the electric motors to make actual fun electric stuff. Like go carts with more torque than they have any right to have or something idk.

And that is fine if you feel that way, but it's not going to match the majority of people and it's going to prevent the platform from ever achieving any type of mainstream status.

I personally do not agree with you, I find the ux to actually hinder usability. I do use Mastodon, because otherwise forming an opinion on it would be stupid. I regularly still struggle to find content I'm interested in on Mastodon, searching all the different instances is a pain. Hashtags are not adequate most content is never even tagged, even the stuff that is tagged might not be tagged in a way I expect because everybody tags things differently. This makes searching for Content I'm interested in very difficult.

I have to actually invest a pretty sizable amount of my time on Mastodon just trying to find something on Mastodon I want to interact with. Compare that with something like blue sky I open the app and the algorithm has already figured out what I like just from me liking stuff as it appears that I'm pretty much instantly greeted with a wall of nothing but stuff that I'm interested in in some capacity.

It's coming from a corporation that just wants to make money but the end result is that they gave me something that I was actually interested in immediately without me having to jump through a bunch of Hoops and that's just objectively a better user experience

Not only that have you seen user-generated content? There is absolutely no consistent tagging whatsoever. That is like the worst way to find things because everyone will tag things differently assuming they even tag it at all

Considering Mastodon sucks from a UX perspective i don't blame them or users. Mastodon seems to be a great case of Open Source and decentralized being so fervently followed that people ignore the absolute real problems with it thus ensuring it will never become any type of mainstream.

Actually trying to find interesting content on Mastodon is fuckin awful, bluesky learned what i liked and hands me new awesome artists pretty much daily. Combine that with the whole having to select an instance and remember how to use it and cross instance posting and blah blah blah and your average person is not even going to look at Mastodon

There is a single standard with no forks, I said not a single one followed. I run my own Matrix Home Server and use it frequently, there are a lot of different clients and there are a good number of them that do run their own features that are not exactly in Spec because one does not yet exist in the official spec. Stickers used to be a good example of that I remember when there were like three different clients Each of which implemented them in a different weird way until the spec finally landed on an implementation.

And even within this back there are some basic features not supported on certain clients and other such problems. I'm just saying it's not an alternative to Discord and it will never be mainstream because it's too confusing and frustrating from the perspective of a standard user.

Same concept that made bluesky get popular over mastodon, trying to find anything on Mastodon of interest is a chore because there's no real Central spot to do everything the very nature of it is that it's scattered to the winds, there's also multiple apps available for Mobile on Mastodon Each of which have different layouts, different features, and normal people that just want to be able to find their topic of Interest can't be bothered to deal with that

Aaaaand this touches on the problem with matrix in general, no standard is properly followed, way too many forks with feature support all over the place

 

I have been trying to look around But it seems like many of the options are either very limited for the self-hosted With a lot of options missing, have poor documentation, or don't support android.

I am attempting to find a replacement at work we are currently using Premier Wireless and I'm not at all happy with it. I don't have a lot of requirements from such a service I mainly just need to be able to have a kiosk style screen on a tablet where only the apps I want are shown, remote pushing of app installs, wifi settings, and limiting access to settings.

Does anyone know of a good self hostable solution for this?
