Well links are supposed to be just !community@instance.url, but for some reason people keep making it an actual markdown link which is not what you're supposed to do. It's like Reddit's r/community. You dont need a markdown link.

It's how you're supposed to make links. I've tried a lot to fix people's messed up links for them in photon, but it ends up breaking other stuff

I've tried using GIMP and it absolutely sucks and I wish there was a good paint.net replacement.

Something I found about a lot of open source projects is that the UI is always terrible

Google Gemini refuses to answer questions about deaths in Gaza but has no problem answering the same question for Ukraine. by Xylight in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I asked it for the deaths in Israel and it refused to answer that too. It could be any of these:

refuses to answer on controversial topics
maybe it is a "fast changing topic" and it doesn't want to answer out of date information
could be censorship, but it's censoring both sides

Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU (lemdro.id)

I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:

Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?
Do you experience random freezes when playing games?
Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)
Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?
Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?
What mesa version do you use?
What Linux distro do you use?

I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?

Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox by Xylight in c/technology@lemmy.world

It's weird how lots of devs treat chrome as a standard, even though when developing I have a lot more issues with Chrome browsers than Firefox browsers
