Something like lemmy gold but with public names? /hj

See also https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe for an example.

Try Fedora LXQT too, it ll default to wayland in the next fedora release (~4th april i think). Its very lightweight.

So this post has (at the time of writing this post):

• 0 favorites on mastodon
• 101 upvotes on lemmy (2 downvotes)
• 9 replies on mastodon (7 lemmy instances, 2 mastodon)
• 8 replies on lemmy (7 lemmy, 1 mastodon)

From this I would say it looks like lemmy upvotes dont federate at all with mastodon. Replies seems to federate but for some reason 1 reply from mastodon is missing on lemmy.

Its on the roadmap. AFAIK it requires vector layers before it can be worked on.

I mean Fedora is open source but if they really wanted a european base, they could have gone with opensuse. AFAIK opensuse is the only fully european linux distro plus they use many of the same tech that redhat/fedora does.

Ultimately I think it doesn’t matter too much since even the linux foundation is based in the US and large parts of what makes the linux desktop are maintained by non-EU companies (on top of all the major projects hosted by Github, Gitlab including most of Flathub). If its all open source, I think the risks are pretty low e.g. huawei was able to use Android despite all the restrictions.

You can also get the appimage on https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

After downloading, set the execute bit: chmod +x ./GIMP-3.0.0-x86_64.AppImage and then open the file to open gimp.

I might be in minority here but I kinda see the point the Readium guy is making, specifically this one:

We managed to convince publishers (even big US publishers) to adopt a solution that is flexible for readers and appreciated by public libraries and booksellers

Publishers and companies will always want DRM so at the very least we (as a community) could offer a DRM that is less flawed, more respecting of privacy and FOSS, etc. If we dont, someone else will offer a DRM solution thats far worse (and publishers will implement it because they dont care and there are no consequences).

If you dont mind using the terminal, there is topgrade which can update many different kind of packages with a single command (topgrade).

You could also build mintinstall (linux mints updater/store) on ubuntu.

He is the CEO of lemmy.

Thanks, didn’t knew it was based on Debian Sid though that makes a lot of sense for an immutable distro since I assume you can easily rollback in case of issues.

Did you use the linux-surface kernel? It has additional community maintained patches for surface devices and detailed installation instructions for the best linux experience. From their feature matrix they seem to have full support for sgo2.

Not sure if its available on pmOS though.

sorry its OT but what has been your experience so far with VanillaOS? I remember there was a lot of discussion about it a while back but haven’t heard much since then.

There is also Merkuro Mail which has a more modern design that some might prefer (to Kmail).

The MAU of lemmy.world is ~18,600 which is a bit greater than the combined MAU of the next 7 instances (a big help here is lemm.ee which has ~7000 MAU). This is a really healthy spread of users and it means we don’t lose lemmy if the biggest instance goes down.

Compare that to Mastodon, where mastodon.social has more MAU (~372,000) than the combined MAU of the next 30 instances at least (I gave up counting). Thats not healthy for the ecosystem. Though tbf the total MAU of mastodon is ~899,000 so without mastodon.social they will still have ~527,000 but it will be very spread out.

I feel like its just the first step in completely removing the off option (like how on Windows you cant turn off Defender, only pause it). Am I being too cynical?

So the data of the 24 people, who signed for the beta program, were accessible to each other, to all the 24 people? Sounds like nothing burger to me. The odds of someone in the 24 people knowing about this issue beforehand I would say are pretty low.

depending on which client you use, the ui can be very discord-like (this is cinny): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinnyapp/cinny-site/main/assets/preview2-light.png

Also matrix has calls (at least element does), though not sure about screen share. And since when was discord e2e?

I ll admit matrix was for a long time really slow but matrix 2.0 largely solves this and other usability issues. Calls and screen share are still not standardized but its all being worked on.

With matrix, its not just about building one app, its about building a decentralized ecosystem all connected by the matrix protocol. So things tend to take more time.

rpm-ostree is intended to be the last resort because layering causes issues with updates and other things
