If you add support for kbin, you’ll probably going to add support for kbin’s microblogging feature. If you added support for kbin’s microblogging, might as well add mastodon support. Heck, might as well add pixelfed support to the mix, why not? Voila, now you have a super federated app.

It’s not 3rd party app developers fault that kbin didn’t have any stable api yet. Now that they fast track the api development, I think we can expect more 3rd party apps coming soon.

Revolt!? That dog is fucking embrace it!

I haven’t noticed any performance issue so far. I think they use wasm which help with speed. Too bad it’s not open source, but the fact it’s developed by a single guy working on it full time is actually very interesting, considering the webapp is actually work better than some apps developed by bigger teams. It can even edit PDF and gif!

photopea.com is actually pretty great, much easier to use than gimp with similar (or even better) feature set.

Usually there is a flag to disable muted video autoplay on every major browsers: https://www.technipages.com/turn-off-video-autoplay-firefox-chrome/

Safari has it too: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/stop-autoplay-videos-ibrw29c6ecf8/mac

Eh, the core dev is a bonafide tankie though, which immediately apparent when you check his activities on Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, but who cares. The software is open sourced, with plenty of contributions from people all over the world in the past few months. The moment the dev brought politics or other shenanigan into the software, it’ll going to get forked immediately.

According to this post they moved to njal.la . Looks like it was previously hosted at Hetzner.

It’s a piracy-related instance, right? Could be taken down by their host due to some complains. Lemmy.dbzer0.com had to migrate to another host a few days ago due to such complains.

Looks like they won’t publish a timelapse video after it’s all over like last year.

OpenNIC is free, but pretty much almost no one use them. But I think lemmings would love them because of their open and democratic nature.

If you don’t want to pay, there are other alternative domain name system, like OpenNIC. The problem is, most operating system don’t recognize them so you’ll have to go out of your way to install them into your machine, which significantly limit their adoption.

They did blur the screenshots though, but yeah, pretty much flexing that they can browse anything without restriction in their office, lmao.

It’s Indonesia btw. That reminds me, I do have a concern about Lemmy instances that use .id TLD (e.g. lemdro.id). It’s Indonesian TLD, so it might subject to Indonesian law, so they’ll might run into trouble if they federate with porns communities. Might be a similar situation where websites with .ly TLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.

Back in the day, we tried to get Reddit unblocked in our country, which blocks porn websites. No amount of arguments can convince the government agency in charge of the block list that Reddit is not a porn site. They probably got tired of us pestering them and send back a whole bunch of screenshots of porns in Reddit to justify the block.

I guess Reddit is a porn site.

Nvidia cards are mostly working fine these days as long as you’re not using Wayland. If you’re using Wayland, be prepared to encounter lots of minor annoyances, and perhaps some bugs that completely break your workflow depending what you’re using Linux for (e g. on server you don’t have to deal with sleep issues, but in desktop it’s an annoyance while on laptop it might be a deal breaker).

Meanwhile me using my own instance and don’t see any commies or nsfw posts except for the occasional spam…

Microsoft is probably considering to release an enterprise Linux product right now. Perhaps called Windows Subsystem for Enterprise Linux.

Those Unicode people really thought of everything, right? They even anticipated some resurrected mummies would want to sent text to each other, so they added Egyptian hieroglyphs and have all phones and computer in the planet to support it.

This is just a matter of personal preference, but I can’t stand libreoffice UI. It has more features but I don’t open office documents much, mostly just some basic spreadsheets, so I can get away with using a document editor with less feature but easier to the eye.

Every time I setup a new system, I always install these:

• vim
• zsh
• git
• rsync
• tmux
• mosh
• btop
• autossh
• mc
• direnv
• asdf-vm

If the system is a desktop/laptop for personal use, then I’ll install these too:

• virt-manager
• vscode
• firefox
• filezilla
• mpv
• yt-dlp
• kdeconnect
• onlyoffice
