Do you notice something? Your comment is still there. Nobody has removed it. Nobody has left a rude comment. So far, nobody has even downvoted it (as far as I can see from my instance).

Most of the time it’s not about the opinion but about how it’s presented. As long as you’re respectful and accept that someone else might disagree with you, almost no lemmy instance will „censor“ you for something like that.

Having set up a couple of mail servers myself, I wouldn't call it easy. Most solutions boil down to a tangled web of dovecot, postfix, ldap and amavis. There are preconfigured docker containers which make setup easier than a couple of years ago but if your use case is even just slightly different than the maintainers', you'll have to dive deep into a few dozen different config files. And of course, you'll have to find out how to configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC to have even a remote chance of your mails getting through to the big providers. I'd probably give email somewhere in the range of 8-12 points in that category.

Other than that, great summary!

For video editing I would highly recommend DaVinci Resolve. So far I've only used it on Windows because I haven't had any need for it since my switch but it's available for Linux as well.

What kind of opinion are we talking about? Can you give an example?

Well, then you have to get more specific what kind of opinions are getting censored. I can't find a single modlog entry related to your account.

Freedom of speech means you can say what you want. It doesn't mean others have to listen or like it.

If you don't like moderation, it's probably best to run your own instance.

So what do I do when I need to get something done on a deadline? VM? Dualboot? Just give up?

Please don't interpret that as an attack, it's a serious question. I would love to fully move to linux. I've put Arch on my laptop about a month ago as an experiment and overall it works great. But every time I need to be productive, I hit a wall. Especially with photo editing but even for software development (mostly C# and C++), Windows 10 + WSL feels like the better choice.

Well, are you a developer?

I am. I have written software, both open source and commercial, for almost twenty years now and the most important lesson I have learned in that time is that developers alone don’t write good software. You need to listen to UI/UX experts, testers and user feedback to make something that people actually want to use.

Just for maybe an hour or so, haven’t had time for more. It seems a bit better but still too different from everything else to assume people can „just“ use it instead of the solution they are familiar with.

Gimp really needs the kind of in-depth UI/UX redesign that blender got with 2.8.

I tried again and again to do the things I need to do with gimp but it still lacks many features and the ones it does have are hard to use. Sometimes it’s not about ideology but about needing to get shit done.

I have used Vivaldi as my main browser pretty much since the initial release and it's great.

Hatte ich auch direkt im Kopf

Sunday and Mo(o)nday are named after celestial bodies. Is astronomy not scientific enough for you?

Huch, das kannte ich noch gar nicht. Hab es gerade mal ausprobiert und ehrlich gesagt finde ich es fast ein bisschen überladen.

Exactly. In a small community that usually doesn't see much activity, if a post gets even one upvote, scaled might consider it relevant.

In German it‘s bees and flowers which makes more sense

How would your life change if your boss let you go home once you're done with your tasks for the day?

Assuming my math is right: how did she feel about being married to a ~50-year-old man when she was 20?

Ich kann mich dran erinnern, dass wir zwischen schriftlichem und mündlichem Abi im Chemiesaal im Abzug gegrillt haben. Ihr wisst schon, Essen im Saal strengstens verboten weil wer weiß schon, was da noch an Chemikalienresten auf sämtlichen Oberflächen verteilt ist.

This is your chance to make one. After all, today you learned that.
