Whatever you’re putting in the allow list is being allowed.

Usernames, IPs, etc.

Whatever you’re putting in the block list is being… blocked.

English is easy. Fuck off.

How was white and black descriptive?

I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.

Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn’t.

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.

If you’re angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you’re probably racist.

I’m glad it’s easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.

You’re angry because… idk? You’re racist? There’s no other reason to be outraged.

I think calling a block list “black” and an allow list “white” makes no sense.

Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let’s use them properly.

If you’re upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you’re racist. There’s literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.

Timbers are shivered.

You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?

Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.

Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.

YouTube isn’t suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that’s less than 30K active users.

On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.

Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.

They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.

Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

It was changed a long while ago because of race. Grow up. Stop being outraged and melodramatic over a fucking word change to be more inclusive.

Blacklist = blocked

Whitelist = allowed

Calling things slave/master

Not to mention allow list and block list just make sense.

Racists angry over 1 simple word change that better describes the function of said list.

Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.

Except they didn’t drop it.

And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

No they didn’t. Please stop spreading this false rumour.

Love how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.

Here’s a person having this issue in Manjaro and not in Windows 11: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/6717729343888060324/

I link that specifically, because it’s newer, showing the issue still exists.

Someone linked a reply to an article from 2015, talking about how to fix the issue: https://ein-eike.de/2015/01/02/fixing-download-speed-problems-under-steam-for-linux/

Another Steam Forum post about this from 2021, where multiple people talk about having this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3083256496964006577/

And of course, if you check Reddit, there are at least 50+ posts ranging in time from 2014 - 2023 about this.

Everyone says to fix it, download DNSMASQ, and disable IPV6. Both of which don’t fix it for me, or pretty much anyone else having the issue since 2015.

just going to say this are you sure you haven’t checked updated and uninstalled drivers and also prehaps checked to see if its a hardware issue maybe worked your way through some troubleshooting guides maybe

I don’t really know how else to troubleshoot it. I’ve changed distros mulitple times, downloaded Steam from different repos/directly, and tried all of the "fixes’ posted online. My NIC isn’t the issue, since I am clearly getting 1887Mbps down in Firefox. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to try them.

Truth is, no one knows why it’s happening, or what the actual fix is, and they are pretending to withhold the fix until I apologise for saying Linux doesn’t just work like Windows does. None of these hateful Lemmy Linux users that are attacking me actually know how to fix it, but they can’t admit Linux can be hella janky.

Steam only downloads at around 120Mbps on all of the distros I’ve tried, which are Ubuntu 23.10, Fedora 39, and Manjaro 23.0.4.

The distro sees my 2.5Gb NIC, and the web browser downloads at full speed, but Steam refuses.

I tried everything. Changing servers, installing DNSMASQ, different distros, etc. and nothing fixes it. DNSMASQ did bump up my speed to 300Mbps for a second, but then right back down to 120Mbps.

Upon Googling this, it’s a known issue. A LOT of people have the issue. Some them say DNSMASQ fixes it, others say Valve fixed it years ago, and others, like me, say nothing fixes it, and we move back to Windows where we get 1900Mbps download on Steam.

Everyone who wants to fight me about this, calling me names, all say it’s “an easy fix”, but refuse to tell me until I tell them I am a stupid idiot and apologise for criticizing Linux.

Here’s my issue:
