How ironic that the article talks about dark patterns but as soon as you visit the webpage you get a cookie disclaimer whose reject “button” is small text tucked away in the top right of the modal.

This is almost what I want. I looked into it and you can follow from mastodon, but it just gives a post title and a link. That’s probably because it’s a full blogging architecture. I don’t imagine users would want to have to click a link for a short bit of information.

If they could be married in some way, it would probably be perfect.

The context that I am thinking of is say some sort of authority that previously used twitter to disseminate information.

For example @UN_NERV@unnerv.jp on mastodon is used as an earthquake warning service. I don’t really see any direct interactions on their masto, but they have 20k followers and is obviously a useful service.

I’d imagine that others might consider using Mastodon in a similar way, but they don’t because you have to manage an entire server and take care to remove unwanted content that was downloaded locally.

I think it could draw in both more users and corporations if there was a one way flow of information. Many people used twitter for news updates and more and I feel like mastodon could replace that.

If it was stupid easy to set up a broadcasting service on mastodon like that, that are opt-in by default could benefit many.

It might be over-engineering with the presence of RSS feeds and such but, if something could be tightly integrated with Mastodon to achieve the same goal of easily disseminating information to various servers, it would draw both users and companies.

 

I’m not entirely sure how to ask this, but is there some way for a Mastodon server to host only its own content while being accessible to others?

If I understood the basics of Mastodon correctly, one Mastodon server will automatically download content from another if they are federated.

That obviously leaves the potential of downloading illegal content from a rogue or unmanaged server, which may be a liability for server owners. Of course - you can defederate but I imagine that certain entities that focus on publishing information would rather not have to deal with constant moderation.

Thus, would it be possible for a server to never download from any other server (federated or not) but have its content available to any servers that federate with it? Does a feature like this exist?

Joplin is FOSS and offers encrypted sync for like dollars a year.

You can also sync using other services including self hosted ones.

I’ve been using it for about a year or two now for basically everything from work to studying.

It’s more so a way to access your system to try and diagnose issues. Try all TTYs first. One of them should give you a GUI, if not it means there’s probably something with the desktop environment

‘CTRL + ALT + F1’ should open up TTY1 (terminal). You can use this to find the issue.

I believe the desktop manager runs on TTY7 (F7, instead of F1 above) and you can try that to see if you can get to the desktop environment.

My best guess is probably something is wrong with the graphic drivers. If you are using an Nvidia card, you need to make sure that the Nvidia drivers are installed and that you are on X11 and not Wayland.

Curious, but do you know about the song that slows down time?

The reset is annoying but I usually have a few goals based on what time an event starts each cycle.

To restock on supplies I go right outside of clock town and roll around in the grass as a Goron which replenishes most things pretty quickly.

All in all I get not liking it though. It can be both fun and incredibly tedious. I’ve probably beaten it two or three times in my lifetime compared to OOT which I’ve beaten easily over a dozen times

I don’t really get it’s purpose? It’s a mini PC with their self-hosting focused OS installed? They don’t really mention anything other than “keep your data out of the cloud”.

Am I missing something in particular about this product?

Now that is an article title

There was an issue with Debian installs a few weeks ago where it broke due to some modules. It can be avoided by using the net installer.

If you’re using an Nvidia card, you will need to download the appropriate drivers. The Debian docs explain the steps, just read carefully to make sure you don’t miss something small.

If you want to make it as seamless as possible, use Debian with Gnome.

Apart from that, there is virtually no difference. You can get and use all the same packages. Games on steam run without issue (or any more than reported by other distributions). I don’t use PPAs but between official debs and flatpak, I haven’t had any issues getting software that I needed.

FWIW I ran: Apex Legends, Resident Evil 1+2, FFXIV, Gears 5, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and plenty more without a single crash or glitch.

I also switched to Debian from Ubuntu. It wasn’t perfectly smooth but once you get set up, it’s as stable as can be.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That is wild. It really shows you how much power corpos have. They literally destroy the environment in so many different ways and get told: pay these fees and you’re good. Business continues as usual.

But this dude? God forbid he leaked and sold a corporate product. Nothing less than a felony is clearly warranted.

People can disagree without being assholes or abrasive about it. I think that’s what ops referring to

 

I’m looking for the opinions and experience of unbiased Linux enthusiasts whose daily driver uses an arch based distro.

When I was using and learning EndeavourOS I frequently (enough) came across posts and videos that stated that although the AUR is useful, but it’s use should be limited to keep your system stable. If someone was having issues or a discussion about stability came up, there was always a seemingly condescending tone of “well my system has always worked fine, just don’t install too many AURs and it won’t break”.

However, whenever I see posts that relate to package managers, I always see praises for the AUR that seem to imply that there aren’t really any issues.
