Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.

    Been feeling old and out of touch lately, and seeing this was comforting somehow.

    I mean, I’m still old and out of touch, but it’s nice to see that one particular ancient technology might still be considered the best way to do something.

    On the other hand, desktop computers are getting a bit long in the tooth as a concept these days…

        Desktop clients came before web apps and a well written (desktop or otherwise) app will always use the platform it’s running on better than a well written web app. Sure there is incentive for corporations to push apps, but saying “it has now infected even Linux” is absolutely ridiculous. Lack of open API is what you should criticize.
