Is the new UI broken or are app developers just not implementing it into their apps or what’s wrong with the current situaltion?
Both, kinda. The new UI relies afaik on xdg-portals to get which apps are running in the background. Therefore only flatpaks should show up; but they should show up automatically, without any tweaks by the devs.
Also the UI only displays that an app is running in the background. It can’t communicate any type of status information.
https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?
For a lot of people it’s not even “going back”. They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.
Lemmys default web UI doesn’t have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That’s a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.
Except the competition doesn’t do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won’t close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.
Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn’t a good option either
Apparently: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rétention_de_sûreté_en_France
In French criminal law, “rétention de sûreté” is a procedure for placing prisoners who have served their sentence, but who present a very high risk of reoffending because they generally suffer from a serious personality disorder, in a socio-medico-judicial security center. This measure is limited to convictions for the most serious crimes, in particular sex crimes, and must be expressly provided for in the sentencing decision

I couldn’t find an English source, even the English wiki article on preventive detention doesn’t list France.
20 years is the maximum sentence in France
Or set your VPN to Europe and watch it on YouTube
I stand corrected
The Linux support of Snapdragon SOCs for desktops and laptops is unfortunately severely lacking. Qualcomm pledged to provide upstream divers, but then the Windows drivers turned out to be a mess and the Linux version had to wait. It is nowhere near production ready. Most of the hardware enablement work is currently as far as I can tell being done by German OEM Tuxedo Computers because they are working on a Snapdragon powered laptop that ships with Linux. But even their work was impacted by Qualcomm stalling (the linked blog article lists Christmas 2024 as their target release date and that didn’t happen).
There used to be a Kodi/XMBC skin for that but development on that seems to have been abandoned years ago.
Depending on your use case Kodi might be a better fit for your HTPC as it tightly integrates with Jellyfin and also has a Spotify plugin. And some skins work generally the way the xmb used to work - they just look very different
Linux is the third option. As far as many normies are concerned the second option is macOS
There are “servers” on Matrix. They are called communities
Here is the relevant part of the documentation for that: https://matrix.org/docs/communities/getting-started/
Bazzite:
I could be completely wrong, but the fact, that you stated, that Telegram doesn’t receive messages without the tray icon leads me to believe that they are doing background services wrong. Because the status icon in the tray is supposed to be exactly that. The service itself shouldn’t be tied to that.
