It’s a federated protocol, but the network itself isn’t meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it’s still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology

I’m so excited about Cosmic! Bring it on

Plasma, but I’ll be moving to cosmic as soon as it enables auto power off of monitors on idle

Brendan Eich. He donated money anti marriage equality organisations and politicians, and half of the Mozilla board resigned when he was appointed as Mozilla CEO. He stepped down from that role after 11 days, and went on to found Brave.

He’s also an anti-masker/pandemic conspiracy theorist

Sorry, homophobia!

I don’t use Google either

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I’m sure they’re great

carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

It suits my needs perfectly though! You can take my folding phone out of my cold dead hands

I was responding to someone who saw no need for Wayland to exist, not advocating for everyone to use it

but it works

For some definitions of “works”

In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven’t included both your spoken languages and “Undetermined” in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you’re missing

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

Swiper, no swiping!

That’s not how it will fail. It will fail because it charges you for things you didn’t intend to purchase

I got a new PC. I installed Windows on it. I felt dirty, so I said fuck it, and installed Linux instead.

It wasn’t any one specific thing, but a lifetime of windows frustrations adding up, on top of a growing frustration with enshittified tools and services in general

That was 4 months ago.

We’re on a similar timeline! I’ve been using Linux fulltime for about the same length of time, after multiple previous attempts to make it stick

Yes!

No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.

No Australia

I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.
