Doesn't Izzy typically pull release directly from GitHub?

I think colored eink is a great idea, unfortunately I will never buy a boox device at this point. Their business model is similar to phone model, pushing out new model is much more important than maintaining old model.
IMO this practice is very wasteful, extremely bad for the environment (electronics are in general very toxic), and ultimately just anti consumer.
That being said, different people have different needs, and have to face different trade-offs. Absolutely no judgement if anyone decided to get one. I am just saying personally I would much prefer the supernote's business model than boox.
Lemmy and kbin communicate using activity hub protocol, that doesn't mean they communicate with app using the same protocol.
So it is not necessarily trivial to let a Lemmy app support kbin.
I think e os is running on very outdated Android version. So it might be because older version do not handle transparent icon well.
Also e/os has some modification on icon. It is possible they set the background to the boarder color of the icon, hence hiding the tail.
I would suggest to try a different launcher/icon pack see if the issue persist.
I don't think that is a good strategy to convince people to leave. Also it adds strains to the Lemmy instances.
Political jargon is confusing. But I think this case they refer to economical right-wing, who typically support deregulation of market.
I think calling "modern left" "liberal" is kind of confusing, since most modern left support social freedom and economical control, which is not really "liberal". But that is the terms we stuck with.
Regardless, we already have electricity, self-driving vehicles that barely kills any person, it is called a tram, and it cost 7 bucks to commute. Cheaper than most car insurance.
Maybe instead of begging billionaires to come up with things that are not much worse (just slightly worse), we probably should just build more tram?
Sounds like a fun idea, basically a better "all" page.
That being said, if you are on a well-fedorated instance, all page would likely be pretty similar to that. But I think such a community can potentially help smaller instances.

There is a "rumor"/"running joke" in the programming community that PHP application is hard to maintain.
Primarily, because it is originally designed to whip up a website in a quick and dirty way, hence the original name "personal homepage".
Where as rust (which is what Lemmy is built upon) is a much more modern language with more safe guard in place to help scaling the application.
Obviously, like many people pointed out there are many larger project is built by PHP. However, many larger companies have the resources build significant extension to PHP to make it more usable, like Facebook's hhvm and hack language are both tools that revolve around PHP. This is a luxury not enjoyed by smaller projects like kbin, Lemmy, even mastodon.
My personal opinion is that PHP is not a great language, but language is just a tool; programmer is also a huge contributing factor in creating maintainable program. For example, python is probably one of the less principled language out there (for example, it's variable scoping is very confusing); yet if the programmer programs in a manner to avoid these disadvantages, they can still build fast and maintainable project with it.
