What I personally miss in every single one of recommendations in this thread is: they're all timeline-based, without a good way to showcase and arrange content. When I want to showcase my projects (be it code or art), I'd want them to be structured in arbitrary ways on my profile that make most sense at the moment, and I'd want to be able to rearrange them at any moment. ArtStation gets this right, Github also to some extent - they have pinned projects on your profile that you can showcase and rearrange.
Signups in most platforms are quite hard. Straight up give your phone and do SMS verification, or at least give email and to register that email you will have to provide phone anyway. Captchas nowadays became so hard that even humans struggle with them and it often takes multiple attempts to get it right.
This is the most crazy read on subject in a while. Most articles just talk about hypothetical issues of tomorrow, while this one actually full of today's problems and even costs of those issues in numbers and hours of pointless extra work. Had no idea it's already this bad.
So Medium and Substack are similar? And Ghost is also an open-source alternative to Medium as much as it is alternative to Substack?
Never used Substack, can someone please explain how this is different from lets say Medium?
Any recs for person who enjoyed HL Alyx (+ community mapsets) and Ancient Dungeon VR?
Currently 100% of my time is spent on games that are "six or more years old", and a lot of that is spent on games that are more than 30 years old. But! I'm playing newly-made community content for 30 y/o games. This kind of retrogaming is something that evades Steam statistics entirely because it usually means playing custom sourceports of old games which rarely are on Steam. One old game I play on Steam to contribute to this statistics is Skyrim.
This looks great, I wonder if it's possible for all this DLSS and similar tech to get rid of severe input lag. No matter how good it looks, I wouldn't play a shooter with input lag.
For the most common scenarios I personally find CLI very easy to use: I go to the destination folder, right-click "Open in Terminal" and then type yt-dlp linkcopypastedhere. That's all, multiple sites I used it with didn't require any extra params. Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.
Due to the weird domain names, there will be privacy.lemmy.dbzer0.com, but the domain is just so unfriendly that people will also create privacy.lemmy.world
So you basically saying people will tend to duplicate communities on lemmy.world just for the sake of friendlier domain name? Why do you think people use that logic when creating communities? Also, when you're registered on some instance and you want to find communities you go to global search and use that, all from UI, and at that point you're not even looking at browser address string, so why is that even important? You click to subscribe to communities, and then see them in your stream and your sidebar, domain name being completely irrelevant to any actions you do.
I had this feeling half a year ago, that's when I moved to Lemmy. Still have accounts everywhere, just trying to keep them read-only.

Some benefits of federation for a system like this is possibility of integrated-into-one-system project comments, friends/subscriptions and user/project search/discovery (also by tags).
