They abuse the fuck out of their monopoly, basically.

They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3), they tried to force a remote attestation API (WEI API) a few years back that would let them do stuff like fully block users who aren’t running locked-down operating systems from using online banking software or accessing Youtube, they added many chrome-specific web APIs that are extremely helpful for fingerprinting and lock users into the chrome ecosystem, etc.

And if you’re running stock chromium, there’s a fuckton of telemetry calling home to Google servers constantly.

Can you link us to the bug thread?

Lemmy has many servers, with varying levels of uptime, load, and performance.

Sopuli tends to fare much better than lemmy.world.

To give you a serious answer, the most common cause is slower rollout of support for new hardware. Might be worth trying again if your first attempt was a while ago.

That being said, the default GUI installer does kinda suck. It’s really not for the faint of heart, but I personally install through debootstrap on my main workstation: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting Started/Debian/Debian Trixie Root on ZFS.html

As a recovering Leagueaholic:

Friendly reminder that League worked perfectly on Linux for many years. Riot yanked support for zero reason other than a generic “fuck you” stance.

Come vote with feet when you’re ready :); I can only speak for myself but the grass has been much greener.

Not tryna drag OP in the slightest, but having a Google search tab open in a faang extermination meme blurs the messaging a bit.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Varies based on DE selection :)

EDITOR=shred too if you’re brave or having a rough day.

I have xgrass installed from the x11-apps package.

I find it a suitable replacement and can’t even remember what the original looks like because I removed all the Windows from my house.
