The problem is, even if it were solved for 99% of systems, 1% of systems crashing is still a massive problem.
But yeah, I also don’t believe that it is solved for 99% of systems. There’s a ton of embedded systems all over the place, which are easy to forget about.
It is similar to Bluesky, yes. They both got a lot of inspiration from Twitter (before Musk turned it to shit/X).
And I would say that the discussions are more shallow than on Lemmy. Even though Mastodon has a higher character limit than Twitter and many Mastodon instances effectively remove the character limit, it’s still fundamentally a platform for shortform interactions. Infodumping is rarely seen, because you need to create a silly number of chained messages.
On the flipside, though, you get to know people. I do appreciate the time I spent on Mastodon, because of that. It’s a very different perspective as not everything is about discussing cold hard facts, but rather also people’s hobbies and struggles and whatnot.
Not sure what your problem with Discover is. It uses PackageKit under the hood, which hooks into APT (as well as other distros’ package management).
If you want to, you can disable Flatpak and Snap support in Discover’s settings and then it is effectively just an APT frontend.
Here’s a description page for Discover: https://apps.kde.org/discover/
The political renaming occurred in context of France’s opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.
Jeez, I understand that self-reflection isn’t the strong suit of these people, but you’d think at some point they would consider whether branding the bombing of a country as “freedom” really makes sense.
I believe, it’s this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapbooking
So, kind of like a photo album but more freestyle…?
Man, with how things are going right now, I almost believed this was happening…
Probably need to post your country/region. Many of the better online stores are regional.
For Germany, grundstoff.net has a good selection. They seem to ship all over Europe, but the webpage is only German…
For those who don’t get it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationery
Man, how do you even get up there like that?
I find ants and bees and such interesting in this regard. They work together more seamlessly than humans do and arguably have a higher form of sociality.
Especially in Western cultures, we humans like to think of the individual and compare ourselves to the individual of other species. But that is a logical fallacy.
Are you smarter than an ant? Sure. But are you smarter than a human-sized ant hive? That’s a far trickier question to answer…
Yeah, I don’t like when corporations put stuff like that into their ToS, but at the same time, I 100% understand why every open-source license under the sun has it. You’re giving it away for free, so you don’t want people to sue for more than you’re providing for free.
Mastodon.social is currently very much in the latter camp of giving things away for free. I also understand that a service is yet another beast than a piece of software, since they hold your personal data and may leak/sell it. But yeah, at this point in time, I wouldn’t want someone to be able to sue Mastodon.social out of existence. I guess, it depends a lot on how it’s formulated in the end…
A video game I play recently added on-screen panic buttons, so for all the items you might want to use in a pinch. It’s a turn-based game, so you really have all the time in the world to check your items, but they’re still all listed there to remind you of the options you have. And of course, I still manage to completely ignore them when I get into a panic. 🫠
Those Spectacle changes look good. The old UI made some amount of sense, if the primary use-case was taking complete screenshots, but even for that, there’s probably a single shortcut to do that directly.
And I do find, I generally want a smaller cutout these days, because you can just fit more stuff onto modern displays, some of which is going to irrelevant.
I could imagine that they didn’t want to do something called “Destiny 3”, because people would expect that to be better than Destiny 2, which is virtually impossible, if you’re gonna start over from scratch, with how many years of development have gone into Destiny 2 by now…
Oh damn, I suspected as much, but I interpreted the arm in the third panel to be part of the jaw. So I thought, maybe with the big ears it might be a Dingo, but that seemed awfully specific for what should be the fairly obvious setup for a joke…
I’ve never used Facebook, but I’ve seen people say that Friendica is quite similar to Facebook (in case you care about that).
Yeah, the wording is confusing. A long time ago, there was no paid software, there was only software where you got the source code and other software where e.g. it was pre-installed on some hardware and the manufacturer didn’t want to give the source code.
In that time, a whole movement started fighting for software freedom, so they called their software “free”.
Well, it didn’t feel like I’m tweaking to my needs (that came afterwards on top), it rather felt like I’m just undoing design decisions that someone made to cater to their specific needs.
And I named the time mainly to give an idea of how much there was to tweak. My main problems were:
The system for domain names is called Punycode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode
But it’s still combined with domain registrars rejecting names like “αpple.com”, which ultimately needs a human to approve names.
There could also be a system like here on Lemmy, where there’s a separate display name, but it still doesn’t really solve the impersonation problem…
