I’m a short hair enjoyer and I appreciate both 💖

Absolute wife material. Please don’t tempt me into using Nix, I just finished switching my personal laptop to Debian Stable (previously on Sid)

Bro, I’m the normiest of normies then, because I went from OpenSUSE to Fedora and now Debian.

Made a few stops along some mental diseases along the way, but those three are the only ones I spent more than a year into each.

Time to learn some c++, it’s a good cause to help with

If you want some 80s badassery, Hokuto no Ken.

Listen to the opening, “Ai wo Torimodose” and decide if it’s to your liking or not.

Cult classic! Duvet is such a great song

Some fetishes are best kept hidden.

It’d be really nice if a peertube instance was easier to setup individually and had built-in donation support. Some non-mainstream folks would probably appreciate the option for a more cozy and intimate platform they could set up as they please.

That really synthetises why I dislike microblogging so much: It’s a bunch of people throwing small-talk and rage bait everywhere, all the time.

Considering a lot of people are really bad at conservation in every possible way, it also makes sense why microblogging is so much more popular than forum-like platforms.

To be honest, having good frontends for accessing the fediverse on mobile devices isn’t really a waste of time, as it helps introducing the fediverse to more people. It’s also more convenient for some users, I prefer to access Lemmy through Jerboa for example.

But there are always possibilities to increase compatibility and ease of use between the diverse ActivityPub platforms, there could be something like “templating interfaces” for different content formats, for example. I think it’s mostly a matter of time and adoption, the more users something has, the more developers we can have, who’ll be interested in making things more accessible and frictionless.

I’ll still try it with Jerboa, but it worked really well through the default UI (accessing your instance directly through the browser, as in feddit.nl/c/techlore@neat.tube for example)

Damn, that’s neat! Gonna follow Nick’s channel (the linux experiment) from here.

edit: Okay, that worked really well. It shows on Lemmy as !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com

For me, it depends heavily on how they do it.

• Will it be FOSS?
• Will of adhere to the ActivePub standard and play nice in not trying to push it around to suit their needs alone?
• Will it be honest about how much and which data they collect, and give users control on how much they want to share?
• Are they good about not forcing their users on an unknowable algorithm?

There’s too many factors to decide on a whim. Not all companies are wholly evil like Meta, Microsoft and Elon’s enterprises, but they’re all for-profit, and we must always be wary. I’m willing to give Tumblr’s owner the benefit of the doubt for now.

Fully agreed. That’s why I said “at most” because that’s the worst I’d tolerate, but I still think upvoting is already enough.

I pass. Gamifying social interactions leads to abuse and lowers the quality of posts, comments, reports, etc. It’s a streamlined path to enshittification.

Only user-provided 🏅🐭 awards here, at most.

Now that I’ve looked it up, apparently you do need to install one. I’ve looked up the settings menu where there’s one virtual keyboard already installed for me, but couldn’t find any toggle for it.

Searching for “virtual keyboard” on the Discover store yielded me some results. I’d try it here if my laptop had touch screen, but it doesn’t. You could try “CoreKeyboard” or “Virtual Keyboard Toggle”.

I’m so damn glad I helped my whole family move over to Linux years ago.
