Good. The dev world is still stained with a lot of libertarian bros who only think of themselves and try to hide behind “just focus on the code!”, thinking it’ll excuse right-wing behavior

Apple.
I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn’t Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.
At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn’t make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn’t be happier.
I adore Void; it’s been my daily driver for about 5-6 years now. Simple, fast, easy to configure, and the Void Handbook does a great job of detailing Void-specific items that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to find in the Arch Wiki, for example.
the package manager’s command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well
xbps
is incredible and very fast, but if you’re having trouble remembering the commands or just don’t want to have to type the chain, I’d recommend looking at vpm
. It’s a very apt-like way to manage it e.g. vpm update
vs xbps-install -Su
and vpm search <package>
vs xbps-query -Rs <package>
This shit happens all the damn time where I live. By the end of the day it’s a trash pile as high as the container
It’s great to see AES countries beginning to adopt Linux and FOSS, even if it’s approached less from an ideological standpoint of FOSS == socialism
and more from staying away from proprietary Western technology (Microsoft, Apple). If it’s solely the latter, that’s still the correct course of action.
“What’s happening to Russian open-source developers gave a warning sign to Chinese developers,” one user commented on knowledge-sharing website Zhihu.com, referring to many software makers being blocked from the open-source community just because they are Russian or not supporting Ukraine. “Software without borders is just a dream that will never come true, and China needs to build its own open-source community.” … “This new version signifies that we have gained the ability to lead the OS’ development by ourselves,” Zhu said. “I hope more users will try our new version and give us feedback.”
This is great to hear!
I’ll disagree on Mastodon being unique given it’s an animal and a band - for a long time in its history it was always under those. It’s been helped on the search results front though given it’s increasing popularity (and I’m guessing yet another new surge due Twitter’s rate-limiting). In time once Lemmy continues to grow, I’m sure it’ll get pushed up in search rankings as well.
Infinity will also be able to be compiled with a personal API key. That means though that it’ll be limited to 10 calls per minute and no NSFW posts, and allegedly Reddit won’t like it, but I’ve been testing it out and it seems to work fine.
The absolute hypocrisy of sh.itjust.works banning lemmygrad, a communist instance dedicated to the working people of the world and the antithesis of fascism, yet allowing the potential for fascists to find a community on their server.
This is really the only general video game community I followed on reddit given how young/toxic a lot of the other subs would be, so I’m glad for the community growing here on lemmy!
I’ve also heard about saint.to which could be an option
This is what makes our group different from the white anarchist — besides he views his group as already free. Now he’s striving for freedom of his individual self. This is the big difference. We’re not fighting for freedom of our individual selves, we’re fighting for a group freedom.
This is the clearest description on the fundamental core of anarchism; Huey put it perfectly. It just shows that anarchists have more in common foundationally with libertarians than actual socialists. Anarchists are individualists, and as such, see any fight towards the collective liberation of society at odds with their line of thinking. It’s also why anarchism is predominantly seen as a Western phenomena; individualism is central to capitalism, and especially the US (i.e. “rugged individualists”), so in ther mind they attempt to consolidate the two forms of thinking: they want to keep the benefits of being the privileged of the world in the center of imperialism and keep in line with its alienated and individualist nature, but twist what liberation would mean for the working class into an edgy ideology of “no gods, no masters”.
Anarchism or Socialism really hones in on that point as well.
The point is that Marxism and anarchism are built up on entirely different principles, in spite of the fact that both come into the arena of the struggle under the flag of socialism. The cornerstone of anarchism is the individual, whose emancipation, according to its tenets, is the principal condition for the emancipation of the masses, the collective body. According to the tenets of anarchism, the emancipation of the masses is impossible until the individual is emancipated. Accordingly, its slogan is: “Everything for the individual.” The cornerstone of Marxism, however, is the masses, whose emancipation, according to its tenets, is the principal condition for the emancipation of the individual. That is to say, according to the tenets of Marxism, the emancipation of the individual is impossible until the masses are emancipated. Accordingly, its slogan is: “Everything for the masses.”
Clearly, we have here two principles, one negating the other, and not merely disagreements on tactics.
No to lawns! Yes to native plants!
Even more reason to use Linux now 😎
The only one that I know of so far is !horror@lemmy.ml
It’s that hypocritical stance of refusing to be political/choose a side yet not realizing that is also inherently political. Time will tell if their users are fine in a moated community or if it seriously hampers its growth to devolving into an echo chamber
Defederation should honestly be saved for the worst of the worst. What beehaw has done just doesn’t really make much sense. They’re intentionally blocking themselves off from the rest of the fedi, and I don’t think it’s because of trolls/spam. It seems like any comments that don’t fit the culture they want are seen as a reason to defederate.
I mean that’s fine for them, they can stay in their bubble, but it means their users could potentially miss on a lot of content as well; it honestly hurts them more than the rest of us. And the longer they stay that way, the more they’ll suffer, unfortunately.
There’s a couple I use: element (desktop & mobile), gomuks, nheko, and fluffychat.
I’m assuming you followed the deploy walkthrough? That should work pretty well on its own, but there might be some weird networking issues you could be having. First try running conduit once set up in the foreground to make sure it starts without issue, then try the health check listed in the instructions:
$ curl https://your.server.name/_matrix/client/versions
# If using port 8448
$ curl https://your.server.name:8448/_matrix/client/versions
If it fails here, I’d recommend stopping by their matrix room with another account. The room is active and helpful; I greatly appreciated the help I got in setting up my homeserver with a subdomain + pretty homeserver name i.e. without the subdomain. As conduit is still early in development it’d probably be good to have a backup account on matrix.org or another smaller homeserver (preferably the latter given how overloaded the former is).
For Matrix, I’d recommend conduit
over synapse
, with the expectation that all of synapse’s features haven’t yet been added (most notably support for spaces, which may or may not be a dealbreaker).
It’s incredibly easy to set-up and very lightweight. I never self-hosted synapse due to how resource-heavy it is, and constantly had issues with dendrite
racking up resources as well.conduit
has honestly been the easiest thing I’ve self-hosted.
There’s always nushell. It’s fairly new, not quite to 1.0 yet (0.96.1 at time of writing), but the constant breaking changes seemed to have stopped. It hits all your points and it’s quite fun to use when writing scripts. Bonus that it’s also pretty much tailor-made to manipulate data.
