+1 for RSS but it doesn’t really replace the comments. granted on reddit the quality of discussion has for sure declined and lemmy is still a little dead sometimes. but it still provides value (to me)
someone should build a distributed comment system that works with plain old RSS feeds
How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something....
i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.
instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don’t need the extra login step into my user session.
i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.
i don’t have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.
My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet....
i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.
at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.
i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).
last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.
funktionieren bei deren caldav auch VTODOs? ich bin aktuell bei mailfence.com und die haben da kein interesse dran.
abgesehen davon bin ich zufrieden. gerade die option accounts für familie zu managen und dann gemeinsam die groupware (web*, cal* und carddav) nutzen zu können ist cool
So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don’t have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there....
since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea…
i have been running qmk keyboards with capslock bound to esc on tap, alt when pressed as well + evdoublebind to achieve the same for the laptop’s builtin keyboard
i do like the idea of not having to come off the home row for ctrl-* mappings in vim
maybe my comment about gitlab didn’t come across right. i do find oxide’s model to be better and agree with their criticism of gitlab’s.
and as much as you are absolutely right about labour being treated much like any other commodity required for a company to extract value, that is precisely the issue being pointed at here, isn’t it?
we should differentiate and acknowledge that people are more complex than that. their experiment seems to create an atmosphere where work is being done despite compensation not being used as an incentive and instead to enable the worker to do the work.
i personally don’t think this should be a responsibility of a company at all, but rather society (or the state) should assure these conditions… but we are stuck with capitalism and this is a step towards something better :)
i see. binary packages have the potential to be a great compliment to building… right now i tend to agree with you. i often run into my USE config not having bins.
how did gentoo compare to nix then in your experience (excluding bin packages)?
I always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.
Another fairly large release! Before I get into it, thanks to those who have donated! I had a $50 one-time donor today which means I won’t be working on Voyager tomorrow evening 😉...
maybe somebody here knows… is it possible to turn off the page transition animations? i was expecting voyager to respect prefers-reduced-motion but it doesn’t seem to affect that

growing up in former eastern germany we had sankt martin’s day (11. nov) as “laternchen” (small latern). it involves kids going door to door and singing songs in exchange for candy.
when halloween started appearing it was too close in date and too similar but seen as “worse” since the “trick or treat” thing seems more bratty lol

I’ll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!...
Your journey with Lemmy: When and why did you join? When did you leave and come back? Are you finally settled?

Welchen Mailservice nutzt ihr? German
Hi allerseits, ich wollte mal hier in die Runde fragen, welche Mailservices hier so verbreitet sind....
Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend?
