Yeah who defederated kbin?

I have the big LTT Store water bottle ever since it came out, so roughly two years ago? I replaced the lid once (not because it was broken but because i like the new one more) and it’s holding up great.

This is amazing! Honestly a no brainer feature. Having to create an account just to contribute on one project’s instance is not a great experience currently and the reason I mainly stick to Github.

It’s the same as with email. If I communicate with someone using Gmail, then yes, of course Google also gets some my data. But it’s still better than being forced to use Gmail because my friend is on Gmail right?

Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.

Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.

Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.

I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won’t drive the average user to install Linux as they don’t know what it even is.

That makes sense with their reasoning. But the DMA will still free people from WhatsApp regardless. There will be some open source messaging app implementing the new MLS protocol to communicate with WhatsApp users. I am more than happy to use that alongside Signal instead of WhatsApp.

The health related reasons others gave are interesting, but my reasoning is this pretty simple: On normal weekdays I don’t really have breakfast, so brushing my teeth as one if the first things makes sense. On weekends I like to have breakfast with my family so I’d like to get rid of morning breath before I talk to people.

I would love to see Apple go down the route of actually supporting modern OpenGL and Vulkan on their hardware. The hardware is amazing but forcing software to rely on Metal just holding it back especially when it comes to games.

Great to see! I really hope more cities will follow suit to deal with this problem as well.

Yeah and where are you more likely to talk about sensitive information, at home or outside next to a busy street?

Agreed. Especially for long text posts it’s handy to collapse the post. But more often than not it happens when I try to click a link and miss the hitbox ever so slightly. So maybe for posts a button to collapse would be the way to go?

But if you on instance.alpha subscribe to a community on instance.beta that would federate the community to your local instance, right? Is there something I’m missing?

Exactly. Trying to install the latest version of a bunch of apps on a base like Debian is bound to give you dependency issues if you try to install the native version.

I can only recommend you to look into using Flatpak to install graphical applications. It avoids the whole dependency or permission issues because it ships apps in their own well tested little sandbox. From a end user perspective its somewhat similar to how applications are bundled on macOS.

It works in a sense that it shows you a list of all your media in the app and syncs photos from your phone to the cloud. But it doesn’t make the features from within the photos app (albums, people, places) available in the app. That doesn’t really compare to Apple / Google Photos sadly.

My main issue with Nextcloud is that the photos app still doesn’t have any way to properly sync on mobile sadly :/ Photoprism at least has a PWA but it’s still not ideal. That’s the main thing keeping me on iCloud personally.

Exactly. I always removed the tracking bits in Reddit posts I shared just because they pretty much doubled the length of the link 🤷‍♂️

Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I’m really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

Oh I hadn’t heard of Artemis yet. Looks super promising!

Firefox Relay is the best platform agnostic option in my opinion. It’s free to use for the basic variant and with Relay Premium you support Mozilla and can use custom domains as well.
