Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Best of both worlds.

Hiding read posts means they’re now lost (when you’re logged in) if you didn’t save the link somewhere. Can’t find it after a day and now you have to check it on incognito.

But if you don’t hide posts you’ve already read, you end up with the same posts on your feed.

it’s a very small nitpick though. having new posts load every time I visit lets me see a lot of new content, I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

I hope some app devs can put up a section for “read posts” locally so instances aren’t overwhelmed.

more tools, the better. As long as it’s running on activitypub everyone can talk to each other. I don’t see any problems.

Having a competition might make lemmy devs implement more features or vice versa. It keeps developers from being too egotistical when users have options.

If he likes RTS, Project Celeste is a revival of Age of Empires Online by the open-source community. And you can install it on Linux with Lutris.

It seems like they’re trying to appeal to admin/users who despise where the developers of Lemmy come from and make them move away from Lemmy to their codebase.

Their “United States of Amewrica” on their github seems all too intentional.

But options are always good because the fediverse is all about options. If Lemmy gets too controversial, instance admins can hopefully move over to sublinks without losing functionality.

I’m hearing a few mentions about ReactOS recently. What do people mostly use it for? It seems it’s trying to be a Windows XP clone, can it run latest browsers, which do not support old Windows versions?

They have the ability to deal with violations in house

riiiiiiight, no bias at all in that. Hey, we investigated ourselves and found we are not liable to war crimes we commit abroad. how bloody fucking convenient.

Good job at giving Russia an excuse to be free of consequences when it finally loses in Ukraine. They’re probably going to make a case that they don’t need to have international boards be used against them too, no?

it’s always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you’re streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn’t up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.

If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don’t have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires “google play services”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebase_Cloud_Messaging

If an app says it doesn’t rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won’t kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people’s activity.

Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don’t always get your notification when the app isn’t in the foreground.

Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.

That’s what I wanted to ask. Last time I heard about their federation, their team were claiming the tests are underway in a sandbox or something. I wonder how that’s going.

can users in other instances talk with people in bluesky?

yes, they did, but the actual pruning starts from december.

Check lowendtalk offers for some deals on VPS for self hosting. However be sure to check the sellers standing in the community from past offers. You’ll also need to beware of resource limits as sellers will be trying to oversell like crazy and you might end up on some crowded nodes. So make sure you understand what youre getting yourself into.

yes, I think they mean the same.

On lemmy, I didn’t realise it at first but I found out I could go to federated feed. So I usually check the federated feed and block out all the things that don’t interest me at all. Subscribed to ones that did. So my home feed is mostly full. If I ever go through all of my feed, I go back to federated feed to see what other communities that might interest me.

I also use voyager app so it’s been a great experience.

“Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Linux Torvalds?”

they’re going with numbers along with usernames, kinda like discord to reduce spam. I hope they work.

You’d need to get a GPU with drivers for ARM macOS.

I don’t really know much about this topic but didn’t asahi linux reverse engineer them already?

The rest of ARM is behind

That might change with Snapdragon X. It isn’t out yet but competition to the top will hopefully start getting the prices down.
