I don't think so? The old documentation really got at everything, I think. Just make sure you have all the dependencies I listed and you should be fine, I think; any decent Linux distro should have them all in their package manager (they're not uncommon, any).
It's not a bad idea. My worry has always been not making enough, that way (got a spouse and two cats to additionally feed); I'm also fairly low on spoons, most days, and I'd probably need to be proactive, that route.
That's really kind; if you ever are able to convert it to a more common currency and want to donate it through the LiberaPay, I'd certainly appreciate it but I don't want to take any money you might need, either.
I am nervous about our current financial situation, at the moment, but – at the end of the day – I am still a developer and, once I get a job, I expect it should make us financially stable, again (which is more than some can say); financially safe, at the very least.
Ok computer-touches of the fediverse, I’ve had enough of the Windows fucks and will be installing Debian <soon>. Maybe 20 years has been enough for a viable Linux on the desktop, who knows…
So what window manager are the cool kids using these days? Is Enlightenment still a thing? I want to not have fuck with things
I'd second Cinnamon, running on a Debian Mint distro; everyone's different but it's always been my first go-to, sans rolling my own haphazard combination of things. Does what you expect and gets out of your way.
Just realised #neofetch is now archived... Gonna try looking for an alternative! Any popular ones you're using? #fastfetch seems to be most similar in functionality.
I /expect/ (though am not an expert) that it's no more dangerous than any other corporate social media (less danger from hackers than anything Facebook has done in the past decade) which includes, even if it's a fine actor now, that may change once the corporation behind it gets a greater market share and needs to squeeze more revenue out of its users, regardless the way.
All that said,the sheer antagonism of UI/UX design that its website is has kept me away out of spite, regardless.
Umm. I don't know about you, but I really don't consider "pumpkin roll slices" as a "meat substitute". (Screenshot from Weis Markets storefront on Amazon)
Last I've heard, no but, due to financial reasons, they scaled down the team responsible for working on Tumblr down to a skeleton crew to move resources to other Automattic products.
So it's still technically in the plans but unlikely to be anytime soon.
This is a post I probably should have made weeks ago but, well, life has refused to let me remain uninvolved the past few months, sadly.
With the influx of new users to the Fediverse from #Tumblr, I wanted to be a good neighbor and, at least, welcome you. When Tumblr had, first, been bought my #Automattic and there was a sort of revival going on over there, I was preoccupied with how to get attention for my alternative but, nevertheless, hopeful it might follow WordPress and become open-source.
It wouldn't benefit /me/ or my project but it would benefit many Tumblr users and, well, that's the important part, in the end; between rising COVID cases (and, now, measles! Thanks; I hate it) and unfettered capitalism and other such phenomenon, we live in times that don't consider or prioritize the health and safety of others and it seemed like Automattic might be the exception to this.
Clearly (unfortunately), no; but I /am/ glad that so many of you wound up here.
The space is still new and being molded but I think many who've sought out the Fediverse have done so because they were hoping for an improvement on the way corporate social media is conducted. I have high hopes for the type of inclusivity and restoration of autonomy we can create here.
There're a lot more Fediverse Tumblr clones around these days (which is great) & I'm hoping we can create blogging env.s that don't require us to so singularly rely on individuals (who may turn out to be awful).
For those who've been following this project to begin with, I'm afraid I'm still stuck in job limbo; as much as I'd like to just ignore that and work on Swanye (a possibility that anxiety, unfortunately, too easily confuses for a valid coping mechanism), I've got a family which relies on me and, therefore, makes getting employed, again, much more pressingly mandatory. I don't have any intent to abandon the project (nor desire to) but I am, sadly, constrained from the choice I'd like to make.
If you're curious about the project, going through the media tab of this account generally has past development updates and, if you're curious about anything, always feel free to just shoot me said question; I may not always be timely in my response but I'd like to think I'm friendly and I do enjoy interacting with others.
I was drawn to the Fediverse because social media – like all socializing – should be something we can easily engage with/in; it should enrich us, not take something from us.
