Wonder if they will make EU-only variant of hardware and software which will be like totally different phone. They already did sideloading, USB-C and now this. What next?

I use them constantly on laptop with GNOME. It makes it easier to switch windows with touchpad. On desktop I don’t use them so often, because I forget about them.

If you don’t buy no-name brand phones, you will get at least one major update. Even chinese brands such as xiaomi will provide updates. You can also install generic LineageOS image if your phone can be unlocked some way, official or not. It works on most devices.

But many smart TVs become useless very quick. When I was using 2015 phone in 2020, TV newer than that already loaded the lightweight Google version for unsupported browsers and vast majority sites/apps became unavailable. It used browser that was already 2 years old when it was released and never released an update to it. But when there was root vulnerability, they released a fix after long time of being basically unsupported.

I was using Flatpak and Toolbx exclusively until I discovered Nix. It’s much better than using those two.

I use Gitea as project hosting and personal wiki. I also host Nextcloud for files and news and Jellyfin for movies and music.

In this order.

Only real threats of Threads federation are EEE and server overload. Not the people from there or privacy. If someone wants to see some content you don’t want to see, like some opinion you don’t like, they should be able to see it. I don’t understand why there would be such list, it would be pure censorship and waste of time. I have heard Threads has a pretty good moderation, so that solves this problem anyway.

I don’t get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.

On lineageos also just pegasus. Only thing that makes it better than stock android is that you have more chances for security patches. Dumno about graphene, it has some additional protections, but still susceptible to some vulnerabilities of android.

Pulling out the plug would certainly work, and not just for vim.

Enough people are used to the proprietary apps, so it doesn’t matter for them. 0,01% of users flowing to other protocols for just part of their conversations isn’t going to hurt them.

Most of them aren’t profitable, especially twitter and reddit. YouTube is also doing it now, they’re going after adblocks. They even threatened invidious recently.

But tbh discord change is for good. It’s easier to invite someone, especially if they have special chars in nickname.

What’s the difference between this and the site shortcut?

Internal investigation? They didn’t know they set up 19 mln of not accounts? Or maybe someone did it for them?

@lemonh3ad We need to check it out. Probably problems with posts getting to hot. Would be funny if they disabled votes just because of this.

Add also randomization of the instance, in case the main one is down and for privacy. There’s already libredirect addon which does that, but still cool.

Depends on your usage, if you use only flatpak, fedora silverblue would be perfect. If you want to manage multiple computers or you’re customizing it, switch to nixos and you won’t look back.

But both are different than traditional distros, especially nix. If you already are advanced user of linux, you’d have problems with anything more than installing apps on nix for first time.

Wait, you didn’t post this comment with 3.1? All the cool people use it bro

From what I understand, yes. It even says it works on Wine, but I can’t test on neither right now.

Theoretically there’s “no hate speech” in the rules, but I haven’t seen anyone getting banned for that. You’d need to find out yourself what’s their definition of this word.

You have also other privately run instances, you can check the list on Github or somewhere else

You can also use LibRedirect addon to redirect Reddit/Twitter/etc automatically to alternative frontends.
