really looks like more of a squircle

Canadian $

Just become a gaming hermit that only emulates PS3 games and you’ll be fine.

It’s just wild to watch Bluesky fans stumble over themselves to say it’s part of a federated future and that it’s decentralized yada yada, when it takes millions of dollars to do with it what takes me $80 for a Raspberry Pi and $15 for a domain name to do with ActivityPub.

This is very recent news but there is a group of people on Bluesky that are looking at setting up their own PDS, but it feels clear to me that the system as designed is so heavily biased against third parties doing this. It’s just such a completely different vibe compared to ActivityPub platforms that are built so strongly around the goal of making it easy to do in order to make it more widely distributed.

I think Memento is open source. It’s good for subtitles->Anki cards.

My devices are named after planets from Doctor Who: mondas, telos, skaro, villengard.

God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won’t give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. “This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad” instead of understanding that maybe there’s a reason it’s built that way.

I always like to say the fruits of FOSS labour are the common heritage of mankind. It belongs to all of us as a public good, created and maintained by selfless workers. (Nevermind the fact that most FOSS projects are based out of Europe anyways).

Big agree. Lemmy is regressive in a few ways some of the time!

A little worried that with swapping those components like that, it’s trying to be too many things for too many different groups of people instead of one exact thing.

I think all I really want is something shaped like this with a keyboard, like an old Blackberry that could be used as a terminal.

Hell, in Canada they don’t care at all either.

Damn this thread really makes me feel like a minority, but I prefer GNOME! It comes useful out of the box, sane defaults, easy to extend without ripping out the soul of how it functions. Best of all it has a new and interesting direction for the desktop UI rather than just copying Windows. It has some original ideas that really serve it well.

I have a French Press

I’ve found that sorting by New Comments is the best way to have a steady stream of interesting stuff on my feed at any given time.

Definitely seeing some people complain about the design changes; once my server updates I’m sure I’ll see for myself. But for the most part I’m fairly pleased with the new notification grouping. Long strings of hundreds of people liking the same post over and over meant I missed replies sometimes.

I’m very intrigued, Dan Sup is one of the most interesting people working in the fediverse these days, and I’m very curious about anything he puts forward.

I just moved my Mastodon server from masto.host to being self hosted on a Raspberry Pi because of the server costs (which increase automatically on masto.host if you exceed the plan limits).

There needs to be a film about the FOSS movement that matches the vibes of 1995’s cyberspace masterpiece Hackers.
