I'm currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it's running fine tbh
I'd love to use it especially since Android Auto is working on it, too. The only thing holding me back is not being able to pay with my phone. I'm currently only having my phone and keys with me. So it's extra convenient to not have to take my wallet with me.
But to be fair the devs can't make anything against that restriction as of now. I still wish there would be some way to be able to pay contactless using your card with GrapheneOS.
I love Immich and Sharkey but both use Discord. Sharkey even used Matrix in the beginning but eventually switched to Discord. I think their reasoning was that they were often attacked by trolls etc. and that Matrix didn't had good options for moderation etc.
And while I love Matrix I fully agree. Yes there are moderation bots like Draupnir and they're good but you will need to self host them and register a user for them and and and. It's not as easy as with Discord or even Telegram bots. Also there are many Discord bots providing very fun elements like levels, reputations, roles etc. which simply do not exist or aren't even possible in Matrix as it currently is.
On top of that we have the decentralization "problem" for end users who aren't technical. They simply don't care much about privacy and they don't care if Discord stores every single message and picture in clear text forever on their servers. It's easier to create a Discord account on a centralized platform than understanding Matrix understanding which server to choose, understanding which client to choose and understanding how encryption, key management etc. works. Yes decentralization is important and great but for the average user it's still something that they do not really know which "overcomplicates" it for them.
And another point is that Matrix spaces are simply not the same as Discord servers. Channels are not as easy to manage because they are rooms on their own in Matrix and a space is not a server but rather a way to organize multiple rooms. Not every client supports spaces yet. Clients implement them differently. Then there's Element and Element X on phones confusing people new to Matrix etc. In Discord several channels can be grouped in another category. In Matrix you'd use Subspaces for that giving you the same issue as with normal spaces.
And most clients don't implement simple things on mobile like...sending multiple images at once. From the perspective of an end user that fact annoys the heck out of anyone wanting to send several pictures.
So yeah I think it's a mixture out of those things.
Matrix especially needs better bot support with bots that could be used by everyone as it is with Discord instead of being only usable by server admins or the bots creators as it is with many Matrix bots. And it does need a better solution for spaces with rooms or another thing in the specs that replicates how Discord servers work so that it's a "space" with actual "subchannels" without every space technically being it's own room dangling around in limbo and just being "sorted" into the space.
And it needs better moderation tools.
With DS-Lite you don't have a public IPv4. Not a static one but also not a dynamic one. The ISP just gives you a public IPv6. You share your IPv4 address with other users. This is done to use less IPv4s. But not having a dynamic IPv4 causes you to be unable to use DynDNS etc. It's simply not possible.
You could publish your stuff via IPv6 only but good luck accessing it from a network without IPv6.
You could also spin up tunnels with SSH actually between a public server and the private one (yes SSH can do stuff like that) but that's very hard to manage with many services so you're better of building a setup like mine.
I had everything behind my LAN, but published things like Nextcloud to the outside after finally figuring out how to do that even without a public IPv4 (being behind DS-Lite by my provider).
I knew about Cloudflare Tunnels but I didn't want to route my stuff through their service. And using Immich through their tunnel would be very slow.
I finally figured out how to publish my stuff using an external VPS that's doing several things:
Then my servers at home just connect to the VPS as VPN clients so there's a direct tunnel between the VPS and the home servers.
Now when I have an app running on 8080 on my home server, I can set up nginx so that the domain points to the VPS public IPv4 and IPv6 and that one routes the traffic through the VPN tunnel to the home server and it's port using the IPv4 of the VPN tunnel. The clients are configured to have a static IPv4 inside the VPN tunnel when connecting to the VPN server.
Took me several years to figure out but resolved all my issues.
Honestly everything besides Debian and Arch after distro hopping for years.
I disagree while agreeing. The biggest reason people use windows is simply because its pre-installed. That's the same reason people use Edge on Windows or Bing as their search engine. They get it preinstalled and don't know how to change it.
If you install anyone Linux and give them a simple and easy distro preinstalled they're usually fine with a few words about how to use it, update it and install stuff. Especially if they're not tech savvy because in this case they wouldn't know exactly how to use Windows either. I mean look at companies: how many employees use Windows in their daily work but still don't know how to actually usw windows? They get teached to use their software and tools but not the OS itself and have to figure things out on the OS level if they would want to change something on Windows too.
My observation was that people that are not tech savvy find it easier to understand some beginner friendly Linux distros than Windows.
If on the other hand a person is used to use Windows and knows how to actually use Windows it's harder for them to switch because things are just different on Linux. For me it's hard and annoying to use Windows which I have to do at work since February. Before that I used Linux in private my whole life, I used it in school because my school never used Windows as one of the few schools in my country and my last employer also used Linux. And from that perspective I can say that Windows is hard and not intuitive. It's just being used because it's being used. I guess you could compare it to Whatsapp vs Signal. From an objective standpoint Signal is better but most people still use WhatsApp because others use it and because it comes preinstalled on some Android phones.
Question is in the title. I want to create my own custom theme for light and dark and make it so that I can change between them with a click in the quick settings.
The Tor project, Libre Office, Signal, Matrix.org, NixOS, Fedora
A good alternative to Bitwarden is KeePass/KeepassXC btw
I am younger than 25, but I’m a Sys-Admin.
However my mother also uses the Fediverse and has nearly to none technical knowledge.
Also my cousin who’s 15 uses it. And some friends of mine who are between 18 to 26 use it without being what you typically would call a nerd.
So I think for the majority it applies but there are also people here not fitting in this sector.
Mastodon is very Twitter like. It's focus is on implementing the main features and it's just the software most users use. Then there's also other software like Misskey (and Calckey (which I run on my server) as well as some other fork of which I've forgotten the name). Misskey (and its forks) implement additional features that Mastodon doesn't have and don't use the Mastodon API. So using Mastodon apps with them won't work as good. There are Misskey apps though.
My personal opinion is, that Misskey and Calckey have a better and more modern approach in regards to UI/UX-Design. However that's subjective. Misskey and Calckey also have additional features like longer posts (3000 characters per default with Calckey), pages, clips, drive and much more. Misskey and Calckey also use Reactions instead of "Favorites" which means that if you react with a 🎉 emoji to a post users on Misskey and Calckey will see that emoji as a reaction. Mastodon users will just see it as a favorite (so as a star).
In general I used Mastodon for quite a while and switched to running my own Calckey server at calckey.braydmedia.de
Wahrscheinlich ein aus dem Ruder gelaufener Erpressungs- Sklaven-/Sub-Kink. Auch wenn es auf der einen Seite verstörend ist, tut er mir auf der anderen Seite leid.
Wenn es so gewesen wäre, finde ich hätte die "Domina" auch eine gewisse Verantwortung gehabt und hätte so weit nicht gehen dürfen. Das war ja absehbar, welche Konsequenzen es haben wird. Er hat damit ja nicht nur seine Kandidatur verloren sondern wird auch sozial verpönt sein Gegenüber quasi jedem der ihn kennt und in der Öffentlichkeit. Das Resultat davon wird im worst case eine Depression oder noch schlimmeres sein.
So oder so egal wie "horny" er war finde ich hätte die Domina in diesem Fall bremsen müssen und klar trennen müssen was Fiktion und was Realität ist. In so einem Fall haben beide die Verantwortung.
