Well I am speaking about users who may be picky about mastodon's features. If someone is picky, I don't imagine they'd care much about just finding a platform with their preferred features, similar to how they didn't like mastodon and found bluesky instead.

The fediverse has many micro blogging implementations outside of mastodon if you don't like their featureset (and they federate with each other, unlike bluesky). The only features I couldn't find are those that contributed to making Twitter the dystopian toxic space that it is.

Is anyone here opposed to bringing more people? I'm upset that people are going to an unfederated platform like BlueSky. I wish more people to join, no matter who they are.

I haven't been on mastodon much, but lemmy is quite diverse.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Very much the same. I was terrified of regex, now I love it

I preferred the Internet that isn't driven by non-genuine posts by profit driven influencers. I am glad that those people don't like mastodon so they don't ruin another platform.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not the best platform for the profit driven, and I much prefer it that way.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Oh no, now nostr is ruined

And you'd still have federation issues, so doesn't solve OP's problem.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

Actually being able to self host and federate, and without any dependence on the main instance.

And ability to federate with other open and federated services, like how mastodon can federate with so many others like lemmy and pixelfed.

Depends on the distribution, many package managers can filter by license. So you can find anything that doesn't have an open source license.

So what happens, does it just not boot? Any error messages?

 

Hello all! I am interested in trying to play portal on my android device. It is a high end device (s23 ultra) and I have a gamepad.

Which would run better: [srceng-android]https://github.com/nillerusr/srceng-android) or skyline emulator?

 

It is so frustrating seeing how people received the protest.

"it's not working" "Reddit doesn't care" "they can do whatever they want".

Well yeah, if that's the attitude!

How do people not see that the protest disrupted the entirity of Reddit? Just about every weekly active user felt it.

How do they not understand the impact on revenue (especially ads), and how Reddit cannot feasibly sustain it, and were banking on the idea that it'll eventually die down?

The fact of the matter is, if Reddit became worried that the protest will continue in strength indefinitely, they would be forced to roll back. The loss impact would greatly outweigh whatever measly profits they make from this API change that no one will buy.

Yes, this was a lot more for Reddit than just profits. If Reddit had backed down, it would have impact much greater than just third party apps. It remind people once again that users hold the power when they're United. They can decide how to run their communities. But Reddit just could not afford this to happen, which is why they fought to convince you that the protest isn't working and you should back down. And unfortunately many of us did...

 

Binance.US ceased USD deposits, and became a crypto-only exchange

Are there any ways to buy crypto in the US, with the ability to withdraw easily, without paying fees? Or at least something with cheap fees?

I've looked into BISQ, but I am afraid of law enforcement retaliation. I'm not doing anything illegal, but I read stories of people getting arrested for not verifying the identity of who they sold to. Don't want that to be me.

 

Hello friends,

I am looking for a self-hosted task / to-do list app that supports:

  • syncing across devices, preferably self-hosted
  • sort items myself rather than by deadline or built-in priority features, and preserve that order when syncing
  • allow defining arbitrary custom attributes

Some really nice to haves but not absolutely necessary features:

  • treat custom attributes as first-class. i.e. allow showing those attributes on the task-list view, without having to view all details to see it. Or be able to filter or by the attribute or sort by it.
  • allow custom logic for sorting
  • just scriptable features in general would be nice

I have been thinking of making my own, but wanted to see if this exists first.

 

what is better for single user instance, or maybe something small like under 10 users (no communities)? which is lighter on resources? how much storage should I allocate?

any alternatives to lemmy and kbin that are still somewhat similar?

 

feel free to list other window managers you've used.

I have been happy with bspwm, but considering trying something else. I love its simplicity and immense customizability. I like that it is shell scriptable, but it is not a deal breaker feature for me.

I like how the binary split model makes any custom partition possible.

 

I've been dual booting Linux and windows for about two years now, but in those two years, I have never booted into windows, except by mistake.

This made me think about removing windows and just saving that wasted space for Linux. I only ever dual booted for the off chance the peer pressure to play anti cheat games was too great, but so far it hasn't.

For the off chance where I want to play a game that doesn't run well on Linux, is it a good idea to do that via VM instead of dual boot, or is it too much hassle? Will there be performance hit or any issues with those games?

 

I've read that standard containers are optimized for developer productivity and not security, which makes sense.

But then what would be ideal to use for security? Suppose I want to isolate environments from each other for security purposes, to run questionable programs or reduce attack surface. What are some secure solutions?

Something without the performance hit of VMs

 

I am a software developer by craft and a linux system admin by hobby. I cannot commit to moderating and managing my own instance, but I would be glad to help someone with the technical aspects.

The most common complaint I saw in Reddit and here about switching to Lemmy is the difficulty of setting it up, so I thought I would help bridge this gap.

While I have never hosted my own instance before, I already checked the setup guide and it looks pretty simple to me, so I am confident I can do it. Please feel free to comment or DM.

It would be great if you can comment general questions. I can then respond to you here and maybe others will see it and know how to host their own instances too.

 

I wanted to start learning Java's Spring Framework and Spring Boot. Coming from Node.JS, I found this article to be an amazing introduction to Spring's concepts.
