Yesterday I was trying to install the Ubisoft version of AC Odissey on my PopOS! machine, and I wasn’t able to do so because when I try to launch Ubisoft Connect from Lutris, it asks me to do the login and then shows only a black rectangle....
OH I didn’t know that ubi games worked that way on Steam, well then I guess this means that AC Odissey (and all other ubi games actually) are broken for everyone playing on linux, steam deck included atm?
I’ve recently bought my first Tuxedo laptop, an InfinityBook Pro 16 - Gen8 and after having some minor issues with Fedora on it (mainly with the Tuxedo Control Center) I moved to PopOS! and since then it worked flawlessly. Or at least, it used to work flawlessly until last week, when the laptop started to reboot at...
When it reboots the fans are kinda loud until I enter the password for disk encryption, then everything is as expected. Temperatures are more than ok both before and after the random reboots.
Sorry for the noob question but, how can I run a memtest on it?
"Oggi, che è il primo giovedì del mese, ho rilasciato la nuova versione stabile con tutti i miglioramenti e le novità che i tester hanno già potuto vedere nelle scorse settimane. La base utenti è abbastanza stabile, nessuna recensione su Google Play e ho perso alcune stelle su GitHub, quindi le prospettive sono un po' negative... Continuerò a lavorare sul progetto ogni tanto ma questo è tutto. Grazie come sempre a tutti coloro che mi hanno contattato… e nel frattempo LFET"
Fateci sapere come vi siete trovati e, soprattutto, fate avere un riscontro allo sviluppatore!
Non la conoscevo! Io dopo parecchio parecchio tempo con Sync (che quando era uscita a parer mio era ben sopra le poche altre opzioni) volevo spostarmi su qualcosa di FOSS e sono capitato su Thunder
Per ora mi sto trovando abbastanza bene, ma provo volentieri anche Raccoon!
I guess that with discord (and many other non-foss free projects) the problem is that they start as free and then wanted to start to make money at a later stage.
For-profit software and companies are not necessarily bad, but they are bad when they take their existing software and start radically changing it for the sake of making more money.
If for example discord always had some features just for Nitro users and others for everyone, and those features (and the nitro price) would have always stayed the same it would have been much better
Discord was great and I’m pretty sure that some projects will take its place (like Revolt maybe that others are mentioning) but PLEASE FOSS PROJECT JUST USE AN INDEXABLE FORUM like Discourse, so that people don’t have to signup and enter a server for each project they use!
The closest thing to a Discord server Matrix-wise are Spaces, which basically are groups of Rooms that people can join by invite (and maybe by link? But not sure)
I see in Matrix as a protocol great potential but it needs some more projects that will focus on the different aspects of communication.
Element cannot aim to be both a WhatsApp replacement, a Slack replacement and a Discord replacement, but for sure 3 different alternatives for those services can be built all using the Matrix protocol
Mine wanted to be a way to say that after I discovered Ente Authenticator (the link I attached), which is another 2FA app that keeps an encrypted backup of your codes and lets you access them on multiple platforms and it’s foss, I “almost forgot about Authy” since Ente Auth replaced it perfectly for my use case.
I thought that since is not a very famous project others could have found it useful
I recently finished the episode of The Verge’s podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky’s CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn’t looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons...
That’s almost exactly what I was thinking before listening to the podcast.
But there she explained how ActivityPub was missing some of the feature they wanted because of its instance-centric approach and how trying to change that would have been hard (given how sceptical towards changes and everything corporate-related the fediverse community can be), and so they opted for a new protocol since the goals of the two project were with different aims.
Still not 100% convinced tbh, but I can’t deny she has a point…
And yet, here we are with another conversation about something in the wrong place.
Well, this is is a place to talk about fediverse and ActivityPub, and mine wanted to be the starting point for a discussion about the two protocols and how they compare with each other, if it was actually worth it to create a new protocol or not etc.
I was not pretending that Bluesky is better than the Fediverse, it’s just different and I’m convinced that discussing about how others do stuff can benefit the Fediverse too.
BlueSky and their illusion of federation, what’s to talk about? Anyone can host a server, but all posts need to be indexed by the server of which they’re in charge of otherwise they don’t appear in anyone’s timelines?
As for this, it was my main perplexity after I listened the podcast since they didn’t really entered into the details of how the “multiple servers, one timeline” work. Do you by chance have any resource/link I could read to learn more about that and clarify my doubts?
She was saying that on Mastodon (that was the main activitypub platform she was comparing to) the choice of the instance can heavily influence your experience. If I don’t remember wrong her main points were:
There’s a local timeline and a federated timeline, and even in the federated timeline you see your instance posts and the posts of the instances yours have federated with, not all posts
A global search is not always the easiest thing to do, and previous attempts of project that would have facilitated it didn’t received much appreciation from the community
If your instance admin do choices you don’t agree with (for example blocking another instance) the only way to interact with that other instance is to move yourself
Moving from an instance to another means loosing your posts and replies, that would stay on the original instance
She was not saying that this approach is wrong, in fact many people on Mastodon like this more community-focused and less-global approach, just that it isn’t what they wanted for Bluesky
From what she said, ActivityPub could have adapted to what they wanted, but probably don’t want to. On Bluesky you kinda loose the community feel of your instance that you have and that many people (me included) like.
I elaborated more on the “problems” she listed in another comment here if you want to read more without listening the episode
Agree. The episode partially answers some of those questions (of course with a biased answer, since it’s given by their CEO), but I guess that for most of them we’ll just have to wait and see
Well, if what she says in the interview is the truth they don’t plan to make money with ads, but with a cut on their marketplace of algorithms &co + with custom handles (aka custom domains)
What do you mean with proprietary? 'Cause atproto is foss, but yeah atm Bluesky kinda controls it (even if in the interview she said they would like to move it to a third party regulator in the future)

recommendations for desktop Lemmy client?
Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.
Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform (archive.is)
They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.
