The best way to learn Linux for ne was to make comparison table to all the distros and to look for what I want to make decision.
Whenever I got questions, I asked ChatGPT.
Then, the biggest step, was just using it. As my Daily Driver. I tried dual booting / a second "tinkering laptop" and it did just not work for me.
Now I am happy and keep learning all the small details.
Feels like when I was young and got my first PC.
I’m new to Lemmy and previously had an account on another instance (can’t recall which one), where I could see NSFW communities like those dedicated to adult content. However, after joining Lemmy.ml, I’ve noticed I can’t find or interact with those types of communities.
Can a Lemmy instance block its users from accessing specific communities or even entire instances that host such content ?
If so, is there a way to connect to those communities while staying on Lemmy.ml, or would I need to join a different instance ?
I’m just trying to understand how federation and instance rules work to make the most of the Fediverse.
Any insights would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

agreed, I don't feel I'm missing out on anything here, although obviously I don't know because I don't have an account on another instance
although if I joined the threadiverse now I would join an instance that also supports following microblogs, i.e. a piefed or mbin instance, probably will do that if I ever have a reason to abandon this account
sh.itjust.works does not require an application
Beehaw is planing to migrate to a different platform and they haven't been updating their lemmy server software. Maybe not a good idea to use Beehaw.
Theres also lemmy.dbzer0.com - the instance I'm using. Very pro-piracy and seems to be anarchist friendly
or lemmy.world - early on it was like the top 2 biggest, it hosts a lot of the main communities
the last 2 I mentioned do need an application tho

Yeah, lemmy.ml blocks most porn/nsfw/r34 instances. I personally like it that way.
I mainly sort posts by "all" and simply blocking NSFW tags hides some posts that aren't full-blown porn but just involve mature topics. So it's better than using an instance that doesn't defederate and turning off NSFW posts, at least for me.
mander.xyz is pretty open to most instances afaik, check it out if interested.

No, you will not get all Lemmy content even if lemmynsfw.com doesn't block lemmy.ml.
You can normally browse lemmy.world instances though, not sure how well you can interact with their users or post.
Edit tip: If you're new, make 2-3 accounts in instances that match your different interests. If you use a lemmy client app on your phone, you can switch accounts between different instances easily.
Filtered word: nsfw
Yeah, things get weird and finicky when one instance defederates from another.
Feel free to create accounts in other instances that meet your needs, and please include proper punctuation in their application forms xD
Edit: Sorry for mocking your English, you probably aren't a native English speaker. Neither am I 😛, my English used to be horrendous. It's still a bit shabby, but gets the job done when I need to convey my thoughts. Try your best to improve!
Edit edit: You could have simply typed in a hurry, I probably embarrassed myself 🤣
Filtered word: nsfw
Yes, instances can defederate with each other. lemmy.ml defederated with lemmynsfw.com, which is why you don't see these posts.
You can try my instance, discuss.tchncs.de, as far as I see, they federate with lemmynsfw.com.
Do refrain from joining big instances, like lemmy.world, as they are currently dominating the Lemmyverse.
I'm trying to watch some DVDs on my laptop (tuxedo os w/ external optical drive) but VLC won't play the video, only the audio. It played the menu once but I couldn't replicate it. Pretty sure i've downloaded all of the necessary codecs. Y'all have any idea how to fix it?
Edit: just switched to the flatpak (system had the Ubuntu package by default) and it works but the options to use VLC directly from the devices menu in the system tray are now gone.
Or any other log files/output? I'm open to any solution, but what I would like...
...is something where I can just click on a word or select some text and say "filter that out"
Something that colors different log levels differently, preferably automatically.
Something that can parse the "columns" and give me a nice quick list of values, like different unit names to filter out/solely include.
Something that lets me choose a time and go there. Something that lets me select only a specific timeframe of logs.
I know this can probably be done by going in/out of journalctl, recalling the last command and adding specific filter options... but it just feels slow. It's so many keypresses when I could just right click on the word and -> "Filter out/Search for" or something.
tbh my go to command is just.. journalctl -fe -u service
ex :
journalctl -fe -u jellyfin
journalctl -fe -u nordvpnd
so I'd also like to know the answer to this question. my other go to is dumping journalctl to text files and parsing with grep and awk and creating my own reports with that parsed information.
grep -E is my favorite.. I love regex capturing groups..
Apparently, less also has a feature built-in to filter out lines based on keywords:
https://raymii.org/s/snippets/Exclude_lines_in_less_or_journalctl.html#%3A%7E%3Atext=Once+your%2Cterm (skip the first paragraph, past those three links)
I wish there was something nice like that too.
In the server world that would usually involve doing something like sending the journal data to Elasticsearch using an Elasticsearch integration. But that involves setting up an Elasticsearch server and Kibana and so on which is very unwieldy for a desktop computer. It does work pretty well though in terms of filtering. But it also stores the data internally in indexes to speed up search.
Of course journald has a seemingly simple C API but writing code is a lot of work. There are probably API bindings for various languages.
I sometimes pipe journalctl into lnav, but it never works quite as well as i really want...
lnav is pretty cool and does mostly what you are describing.
uuhhh maybe here?

Well, just a monitoring stack, like for example Grafana, would probably be more suitable for this specific task (if we're doing central hosting/collection).
Kind of my main recommendation is to use something with OpenTelemetry. It's pretty much the standard protocol for transferring logs, traces and metrics, so if you set everything up with that, then you can swap out the visualization software with less pain.
Here's a guide for Grafana + OpenTelemetry Collector: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/send-data/otel/

If you are on gnome,.gnome logs do most of the things you want (if I recall correctly, some years since I run gnome)
View detailed event logs for the system – Logs shows events from the systemd journal, and sorts them into categories, such as hardware and applications. Using Logs you can search your logs by typing a search term, and view deta...apps.gnome.org
That is good but only shows the last 10-15 lines of the log, unless there is an arg to expand that, or a command to follow the log. I am aware of neither.
I usually use your suggested command to check if a service is up, then if it isn't, use journalctl to find out why.
It's like jq, tail, less, grep and awk merged together and available in a clean UI. Self-hosted, single binary.logdy.dev
journalctl -fu servicename

Tipps to prevent future accidents:
- Set up BTRFS snapshots with Timeshift or Snapper. Switching to BTRFS is worth it for snapshots alone.
- Do regular backups on a device that can not be reached by rm: vorta local on external hdd that you connect once a week OR vorta/borg2 to a NAS/Server that does BTRFS snapshots itself OR Nextcloud to sync to a server that has a trashbin OR git to a server. Just remember that Nextcloud and git are unencrypted, so the server has to be secure and trustworthy. Vorta and borg2 can be set up with encryption.
Mistakes are unpreventable due to our error-prone brains, but it is a choice to repeat them.

I had an interview 2 weeks ago as of me typing this, I followed up by email beginning of this week and got the following reply back
"MY NAME,
Thank you for reaching out,
We are still in the interview process and fielding other applicants. We will be in touch with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you,
INTERVIEWER"
I don't think I've ever heard "in the coming weeks", I just hoped I'm not fucked. I thought the interview went very well.
Who knows nowadays, i wouldn't hold your job search though. I would keep looking, if they get back to you, you may find something better in that time frame.
Edit: good luck
No. Practically and helpfully true.
Your job right now is to recognize that your optimal move isn’t figuring out how well this application is going, but rather putting in more applications.
There is almost never a reason to stop applying. Knowing your odds on this job doesn’t really help. Sending out more applications does.
Could be a case of them interviewing a lot of people. Keep in mind a lot of people go on vacation this time of year and depending on the company/industry it could also mean this is peak season for them. I wouldn't look too much into it.
Best of luck, hope you get it.
This could be as innocent as “hiring manager was on vacation and we still have some interviews planned” or “our interviewer was caught fornicating with a chicken and we’ve had to make some internal changes”.
I would take it as a positive sign that you’re still in the running, but like others have said, I wouldn’t pause my other job searching tasks to wait for this one to play out.
It means you're still in consideration.
I know when I've hired in the past, if I like the first person I interview I still try to interview at least one more person so I actually have a choice. If I don't like someone I'll immediately let them know.

Hey everyone!
Wanted to check in here about our newest struggle, maybe someone can share our pain or even help with some advice.
Our little one just turned 2, the biggest development of the last few weeks is that she's really talkative now. Able to respond to questions, even describing events with some help.
Other huge change is that putting her to sleep is getting more and more industrious:
We tried a lot of things already in the afternoon (as we're feeling that could be root of the problem for the evening sleep also) for example putting her to the baby carriage for a walk, putting her in one of these carriers on our backs, putting her directly into her bed... Nothing really works, it feels like she just needs us to try at least 2 hours and then she gives up.
At least when she sleeps, she really sleeps like a baby, sometimes not even waking up at all for the whole of the evening (that is something that haven't changed).
Have you experienced something like this around 2 years?
How did you solve it? Or do you have any other suggestion?
I would appreciate any input from you.
It may be that she doesn't need an afternoon nap every day anymore. I know it sucks because you were used to have some peace, but they grow up and it was bound to happen. Honestly if she doesn't look tired don't even try. If you make her sleep even if she doesn't need it she'll start pushing back (welcome to "terrible two" age). She'll start hating going to bed even in the evening. When mines started growing at a certain point they were having a nap only on the weekends.
I'd advise against "let's try and see if you need one today without pushing too hard" because she WILL learn that if she just doesn't you'll not push back. You need to judge if she needs one (looks sleepy/extra cranky) and you have to put her to bed (and be firm) or not even try.
It might be that on days she doesn't have a nap she'll need to go to bed a little earlier (like half an hour earlier).
But I strongly suggest you don't make the "you need to sleep" routine a fight or they'll make it hell for you.

Ideas and Tips for Dual Boot and Audio Things on Linux (2011 Laptop)
Research post
--> Before you contribute anything to this post, please be aware that I research a Music Production related topic on Lemmy/Mastodon.Hi there,
not even sure if this community is still active, but I will give it a go ;)
I'm looking for distro ideas and tips for setting up Audio.So, here's the situation: I've been thinking about switching DAW for a while now and just tried LMMS so far, which I didn't like at all. I'm curious to check out Reaper and/or Ardour next while also considering Bitwig as another option.
Currently I use an old MacBook Pro (~2011) for Music Production - running MacOS and Ableton Live 10. The plan is to Dual Boot this machine for now, but I'm unsure which Distro to go for. SSD is new, I can dedicate around ~250 Gigs to this install, which is a lot since I mainly use external storage usually. 4 GB of RAM, I think some swap space would be ideal.
On my main machine I've so far tried Ubuntu Studio for about 3 Weeks, so this is absolutely not an option. Then I've tried Mint for literally just 3 Days because I really hated the look of it (maybe no surprise as a long-time Mac user). I'm on arch-based/Arch with Plasma 5/6 + pipewire now since around 2 years. Haven't been touching on anything Music Production related on here, just the average everyday use to play Videos and Music (which just worked out of the box) so I'm not really familiar with anything Audio-related on Linux.
I want the Music Laptop to just be pretty minimal, a bit of Note-taking and Office stuff besides the DAW's. The Laptop is usually offline, so I think going for Arch/ a rolling release is not very ideal. I thought about just Gnome or Plasma 6 on Debian, as I wanted to try out Debian for future projects anyways. Not sure how this will play out on that old Laptop, so just thought I'd ask if there's any experience with older machines before I get into it. Also open for other recommendations in case I missed some other good distro option, I feel like I'm also in an experimental phase currently and wouldn't mind distro-hopping for a bit.
Then, I feel a bit overwhelmed by the whole audio thing, so I would be very thankful for useful tips, videos, websites or similar that might help me to figure things out.
I own a Focusrite Audio-Interface, and it will be a problem if I can't get this running, but I will definitely try it out before I buy a new one. Another issue with this Laptop is that the Audio jack broke years ago inside the machine, so it's not even possible to get any sound out of this thing if not via the Interface lol. Well, actually there is: Bluetooth Speakers, which I also do own but... meh. Usually on Headphones for Music Prodcution, so I kinda need the Interface. Not a huge VST user, so this is less of an issue for me. I mainly use my Interface to record Instruments/Mics or just my field recorder and Samples.
Hope I can get some feedback on my throughts and recommendations, thanks a lot in advance!
i used to have a 2013 macbook air from the electronics disposal bin and used it for five years as my daily driver. i don't know how well it would do considering all your audio related constraints; but in your shoes i would do some quick and dirty testing with a live linux distribution on usb drive.
i would go with elive because it comes preinstalled with proprietary software; including things for multimedia, like codecs. you could also do it w any other distro, but why not save yourself the extra steps; since we're only looking for breadcrumbs to follow anyways.
i used to use a headset w a usb audio dongle circa 2002 on red hat linux and the breadcrumbs i found back then led me to discover that getting it to work required the proprietary software that the distros wouldn't carry because of the licensing. so i spent days tearing apart my new installation trying to get it to work with the help of strangers on internet linux forums and ultimately failed; i later succeeded with mandrake linux and ran with that for about 3ish years before switching to debian and later elive.
elive has already figured out all the intricate details necessary to get that software to work and i'm inclined to believe that they made significant improvements over the last 20ish years. you can use the fruits of their labor for a quick and non-invasive test that can be the first breadcrumb that leads you to whatever you end up using for your two machines while ensuring your audio requirements will be met; maybe elive can also help with other proprietary software or maybe it's people on the software that they use that are like yours.
also: you lost me on Focusrite Audio-Interface paragraph so i don't understand how it fits into any of this.
On the DAW, the three are good, I use Ardour cause it's a free software, but I've been told the other two are good, specially for people coming from ableton who want something close. Ardour is really a old-fashioned saw like pro-tools.
Check Librazik it's a distro based on debian made for musicale production.
I'd say you don't need a specific distro for what you want to do : a Debian or Arch with KDE could do the trick, but I would recommend to use a lighter desktop environment like Xfce. You may not like it coming from mac but it will preserve machine resources for your audio work.
Ardour runs pretty much on it's own on any distro, you can still do some conf, I suggest to go to linuxmao.fr the website is mostly in French but have a lot of configuration documentation.
This audio interface will not be an issue as it's plug and play on Linux since a while now.
Thanks for mentioning Librazik. I'll take a look at it later.
You are right with KDE as DE, and I am happy you mention it. I guess I'm just being lazy with this as I am familiar with it and I like the looks of it. But true, given I really won't do much else on there, it's pretty much a waste of resources, so I'll take that into account.
I will go with Reaper first and hope this will be a good Ableton alternative. Ardour I'm generally just really curious to try out, so I will give it a shot too, maybe later. The website you mention will be great for this, hope I will be able to read through this ;)
It's good to hear about the inteface just working, will see how it goes. I remember searching info on that model I have back on reddit and there was one person who tried to get it to work on linux and it sounded complicated, but that was already a few years back
With 4 GB of RAM you will be limited, so either XFce or Mint are your best bet (and edit their StartUp pref panel to disable some services -- that will save you 200 MB of RAM). I wouldn't put Gnome on a machine with 4 GB of RAM, it'll start swapping before long.
Not sure why you say that "ubuntu studio is absolutely not an option". You don't give any reason why it's not an option. Ubuntu studio has special scripts to make things like jack2 work in pipewire correctly, for one. I couldn't get Presonus StudioOne to get any sound on my Mint installation without that ubuntu studio setup script, for example.
Reaper is nothing like Ableton, it's its own thing, and you'll need to get used to it. Ardour is another option, Bitwig, and some others I mention here: https://mastodon.social/@eugenialoli/113358203445896735
LMMS is mostly for electronic/midi music (the UI is like FL Studio's). For recording, you'll need to download their .appimage dev-build (they implemented it a few months ago). Still no vst3 support in it though.
And you'll need to get a supported audio interface, you can't judge audio quality via BT.
Personally, I'd go for Linux Mint and do these things: 1. Install a theme that pleases you visually, 2. Edit startup sessions to not load useless things (I've even turned off bluetooth) 3. Uninstall fwupd (you don't need that on a mac), 4. Uninstall the evolution-data-server 5. install the ubuntustudio pipewire config script, 6. install the daw you like, and use the pipewire connection kit to make sure you get sound out of it.
On my Mint, I've been able to get it down to 700 MB of RAM on a clean boot (out of 1.3 GB by default). That gives some headroom to do better web browsing or media work.

Thanks so much for answering, this is really helpful, even if I feel pretty indecisive now.
What do you think about LMDE? This would have been my second idea. I'm also not mad about going with Mint for a second time as you recommend. My disliking was purely because of aesthetics, which wouldn't be as important for this Laptop.
As I mentioned in the reply to Noo, I have already changed my mind about DE's. Honestly, I always assumed this Laptop had 8 GB of RAM just like the other - and there I've had the Laptop freeze installing stuff from the AUR - seems this is always the worst part of these Macbooks, but I'm never gonna buy one again anyway. But yeah, I dont have any clue about how much those 4 GB affect my Distro/DE choices, I'm here to learn 😁 I also saw your post on Mastodon about RAM on Debian Gnome a few Days back, which was one of the reasons why I began second guessing my initial ideas.
I know if I'd look for a substitute for Ableton it would probably be best to just go with Bitwig. But there's also aspects of Ableton I'm not happy with. I generally got bored of it a bit tbf, so it's allright if I feel I start from scratch for a while. Reaper was recommended to me by a few people already, so Reaper it is. Shortcuts and navigation will be hard for a while I assume, but nothing you can't get used to ;)
Yeah LMMS really felt close to FL Studio, used FL a bunch in my youth.
Ubuntu ran really bad on my other Laptop, and I felt overwhelmed by the amount of stuff pre-installed. So I doubt it will be better.
Concerning the Interface, I don't have the extra money to buy a new one currently, so this either works or not.
Ok, so I'll maybe wait on your opinion on LMDE in case you will have time to reply. Will keep Mint on my mind!
Because LMDE runs on Debian, you won't have the extra fixes for audio that ubuntustudio offers (mint runs on the same repos as all ubuntu flavors). Also, LMDE is debian, and their packages are older.
Regarding ram, reaper uses way, way less ram than any other daw, because it's the most optimized of all. The creator of it, who also did winamp back in the day, is known for his optimization black magic.
I'm trying to do this
sudo apt install intel-level-zero-gpu level-zero level-zero-dev\
to get a help me run a chatbot with gpu but the packages aren't available. where do I get them?
do you have any intel related packages in your system? you can search with something like apt-cache search intel
if it turns out you don't and you're certain that it's okay for you then you can probably add a repository for it.
i can't stress enough the part where you need to be certain that you need it.
It's only available in sid for now :
https://packages.debian.org/fr/sid/libze-intel-gpu1
Intel oneAPI L0 support implementation for Intel GPUs -- shared librarypackages.debian.org
if you can find the source deb package for it, you can use that to try to construct a version that's appropriate for your release.
or at least it's true to for rpm packages from the last time i encountered a barrier like this on centos.
The .deb package can be found on Github.
~~I find it peculiar that it doesn't seem to be packaged by any distro. Debian does have a package called level-zero. But, while they're linked, it doesn't seem to be the exact same thing.~~

I'm looking for the full scope skeptical worst case scenario to best case intention abstraction in a nutshell. I'm not looking for the copy pasta fanboi version. There must be a reason why I am made aware of DLC from apps in Android including DLC from storage and memory, I am looking for why.
I've also been trying to track down why AI on offline hardware displays some signs of a shadowed persistence despite the model GGUF remaining static. I can't say for certain, but for instance models that once struggled with many advanced science fiction concepts like, no aliens, cislunar space, different sociopolitical structures than the present, AI in an Asimov like context, and life in O'Neill cylinders, after several long sessions of struggling manage to handle these concepts in parallel and much more with ease. There is certainly an element involved of how I develop the language to communicate concepts and I may be the one hallucinating some kind of external mechanism is in play. I'm admittedly struggling to understand the full scope of how model caching, Transformers, Pytorch, and Nvidia's software tools work together beyond the basics I've learned while hacking with model attention to add some scaling.
How does one monitor and verify DLC? Is there any broader scope to JIT as well in this context?
I do a search for grep -rin http on everything I download in general. Is there anything else to be mindful of specifically related to DLC/JIT?

Without bias I exclusively use this on Ubuntu MATE for a laptop between me and my brother.
Which contender in the desktop ring do you prefer? Why? What's the positives and negatives for you?
Round 1, GO!
i use xfce, but entirely because it worked well when 16 megabytes of ram was considered average and it literally took almost a half hour to log in and start using a browser on both gnome and kde.
is mate as lightweight as xfce?
If you are a low-end Linux enthusiast, I would also recommend the Trinity desktop. Just as MATE is a continuation of GNOME 2, Trinity is a modern version of KDE 3. I was quite surprised how light and functional it is.
If you want to give it a shot in a VM, the Q4OS distro includes it as a default DE option. If you really want to be impressed what can be done with little RAM, try the 32 bit version of Q4OS.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm not exactly a low end enthusiast, like doing it for fun, but I find myself around low end devices daily, from lack of alternatives, so I've been experimenting with software, trying to make the experience a bit better. To give a bit more of context, here's what I use:
I have a somewhat decent main computer (although it has some hardware issue that makes it unstable, but it's another topic), that I use with fedora and gnome, but I have a small 2 in 1 laptop that I use for writing and light web usage, shared with my gf. It has 2gb of ram and an atom z something cpu. It's currently running mx linux with 32-bit firefox, and runs better than one would expect, but still a bit slow. My mom has a mini pc with 4gb of ram and a celeron n30 something. It's running debian with xfce. The ram is fine, but I find it really slow. My sister has a laptop with the same ram and a very similar cpu, same situation, but it's currently running fedora with lxde (it had fedora with gnome before and was very very slow, so I suggested a change, but my sister insisted on keeping fedora, because she liked it. Surprisingly, the lxde version is much lighter than I expected). The worst machine is from my gf's brother. He enrolled in an online course and needed a pc for the classes, so he took one they had sitting in a corner. It has a pentium cpu (don't remember the model), 2gb of ram and came with windows 7, so I replaced with mx linux and it's running worse than before.
I’ve never used MATE - almost always been an XFCE guy since I got serious about Linux.
It was sort of an accident. After a while of using Ubuntu in a VM (including a weird IceWM stint), I tried installing Debian on an old laptop I had sitting around. The first attempt, where I tried KDE, something went wrong with the Network Manager install. At this point, I can never know what went wrong - it’s been years All I know is that I chose XFCE on the second attempt and didn’t have the problems, likely due to coincidence. Still, I stick with XFCE out of satisfaction.
I have used both in the past, but now use neither of them, have been exclusively a KDE Plasma user for several years by now and no longer feel like trying much different.
GNOME 2 was the first DE I ever used on GNU/Linux, so MATE has a nostalgic feel to me. I do not think Xfce is very radically different from it in its functionality, although the default configuration is somewhat different. This is really mostly a matter of personal taste.
Xfce4 is my preferred terminal no matter which distro I'm on.
I use xfce on 2 machines, mint on one.
I've used xubuntu, which was my introduction to Linux and xfce.
Xfce is customizable in so many ways. Runs on anything, and is solid.
KDE's menus upon menus upon menus makes it look and work like W95 for me, just made of shiny plastic instead of something beige.
Also, I feel XFCE's default looked awful about ten years ago, it looks modern and slick now, esp. with a theme like Arc installed! And it's incredibly customisable and riceable!
I've been using XFCE for so long that it feels really awkward when I have to use Gnome or KDE.
XFCE is solid, reliable, stable, unobtrusive, lean, responsive.
It is also the reason I've not used Wayland yet.
I've been using MATE since Gnome 3. I really liked the simplicity of Gnome 2 and was unable to adapt to their "new" way so I switched to MATE and it just clicked. I tried Gnome 3 a few times again but I just can't.
As for why MATE instead of XFCE or others? Because I already used and tried XFCE in the past and prefered Gnome 2's look and feel. In fact, I have been going out of my way for years to keep every app using GTK2 and my favourite theme because I like how it looks and feel, and Gnome 3 and GTK3 broke this. So MATE it was. They switched to GTK3 too eventually but it gave my time to adjust.
My only "complaints" about it are the file manager Caja, and the way you can list windows, which both feel very basic. I would like those two to get better.
I try and use different DE from time to time, from Fluxbox to E17, but I just go back to MATE. My favorite DE of all time was E16 but it took waaay too long for E17 to be functional and I ended up keeping MATE.
I'm happy with KDE since 2009. But I'd have a really hard time if I were to choose between those two.
I think I "know" MATE because before KDE I used to use Gnome2 so it feels nostalgic to me. The Applications/Places/System menu was the tits and it beat the shit of whatever start menu you put in front of it, and Gnome's decision to get rid of it was the stupidest idea ever (among many other of their utterly stupid decisions). I'd really miss that menu if it weren't for that I got used to associate some keystrokes to launch my favorite apps so I don't even use a start menu or whatever, rather than Krunner.
On the con side it seems to me MATE is being developed at a slower pace than Xfce's, and it seems less customizable than it - well, at least for me that's a con - thought I'm not really a "ricer" or anything I just got used to a certain way to do things on the desktop and I remember having to fiddle with Gconf2 to do stuff like you did with friggin' Windows Registry editor.
I got to use Xfce back in the day too. It has an Applications/Places menu just so people wouldn't think they blatantly copied Gnome, but it's more than 10 years since Gnome got rid of it so I don't know why they haven't took it. Xfce feels somewhat more customizable, has the veteran badge and seems to have more developers backing it up.
But it's being developed with GTK+3/4 so I guess at some point they'll suffer from the ~~shittification~~Gnome-ization of GTK and, as I said before in some other post, if I were them I'd move all my shit to the E libraries (even more, I'd do a fusion of the Enlightenment desktop and Xfce). Also I happen to be a graphic designer so the lack of care they have onto some things sticks like a sore thumb to me, like those poorly designed settings dialogs on some stuff that even have some dumb horizontal scrolling just because they couldn't care less about that.
Just on your Enlightenment point there,
I tried Bodhi Linux a few years ago because the Enlightenment desktop looked really good, but over time they (Bodhi) had to create their own desktop because Enlightenment appeared to have almost stopped work.
Might be something for you to check out...?
Bodhi, a lightweight Linux distro featuring: Fast, fully customisable Moksha Desktop; 64-bit & 32-bit Non-PAE support; Built on top of UbuntuBodhi Linux
Of course not - if Xfce has too few people working on it, MATE has even less than them, and Enlightenment has even less than MATE. And note that Enlightenment is not only the desktop environment per se but the E libraries (and those are no regurgitated shit - for example, some car makers have used them on their infotainment systems). I'd think it'd be amazing if those two (or those three) could do a Dragon-ball-z kind of fusion, I think those three have really similar goals. Hell, if that was actually a thing most probably I'd move to that.
I know Xfce folks have submitted patches to GTK over the years, but it's just that GNOME's enshittification has pregnated GTK to a point of no return and Xfce devs are very well aware of that (for example, the libadwaita thing).
I am not sure how I feel about it but there seems to be some resistance in the GTK world. Desktops like Cinnamon,MATE, and XFCE have said they are going to stick with GTK3. Mint has proposed a common suite of GTK3 apps called Xapps that would maintain GTK3 versions of some of the applications that GNOME has pulled to GTK4.
https://linuxmint-developer-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xapps.html
One of the best things about the GTK world was that you had a choice of DEs but got the same universe of “native” applications with any of them. Sadly, it seems that there may now be GNOME and “other GTK” DE universes. On the plus side, there will be a haven for those that want off the GNOME train without as much “left behind” feel as MATE users have had.
For me it's MATE.
For some reason I've never really gotten on with XFCE. Tried it in earnest many years ago, and have dipped into it a few more times over the years, and for whatever reason it just doesn't gel with me. Always feels like I'm fighting it to get it to do what I want it to do.
MATE has the familiarity and comfort for anyone who spent serious years running GNOME 2. It's pretty much as lightweight as XFCE these days, but feels more polished and intuitive for it.
Ubuntu MATE is still one of my go-to distros for limited hardware (even though that project specifically seems to have stagnated somewhat in recent years).

FreezeAnother response to danger is your body hitting the pause button altogether. The freeze response involves becoming immobilized or “freezing” in response to a threat. This can involve a state of paralysis or being unable to move. It’s thought that this response might have evolved as a way to avoid being noticed by a predator or to remain still in the hopes that the threat will pass by.

I would suggest emailing improv groups around you to see if you could join a class that's supportive. Make sure to ask the teacher ahead of time so you can get a feel for if they'd be good for you or not and if they're willing to work with you. If you could take a friend that's interested as well, that would help for you to work with someone you trust.

Just remember the golden rule: nothing with your voice is supposed to hurt. If it hurts, then stop
If you legitimately speak like xQc, the first thing I'd tell you is to slow the hell down. That guy would probably get as much information out in the same amount of time, but easier to understand, if he just didn't try speaking that fast. Last I heard it, even his québécois french was slurred.
As to finding the right words when speaking, it tends to come with knowing your subject well enough, and having decent vocabulary.
Past that, if you do struggle with the very act of translating ideas into the physical act of speaking, it could be a speech disorder which could likely benefit from speech therapy.

🤣 Sorry not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. I kinda felt that.
Remember that in real life, conversations isn't like in movies. Dialogue isn't so perfect with flowery proses. Real conversations often have incomplete sentences, a lot of "um..." filler words. And there often like frequent pauses when my brain just has to process thoughts before I can say it. Life is like that, is normal.
What made me less anxious and just go "IDGAF" is just I realized that I am a mortal being and I will eventually die, I kinda had an existential crisis for a while, then I was just like: if everyone just dies, all embarassing moments just gets forgotten
Like you can piss yourself or shit your pants, look foolish in a live audience of millions of people, say stupid things... whatever. Doesn't matter, everything is temporary. Being a bit nihilistic just allow you to be yourself. Nothing matter anyways, do what you feel like (except harming others, don't harm other living being please).
I mean not to get political, but just look at politicians say stupid things all the time.
The president of the US fell down a bunch of staird, people laughed, the internet memed it a bit, everyone kinda just went on.
And most of us doesn't have the whole world watching is. If I fell down a bunch of stairs, most people that saw it would just forget very soon. Samething with speech, as long as you don't say anything thats bigoted, nobody care about speech mistakes.
TLDR: Life is short, do whatever you want as long as it doesn't harm other living beings. Make mistakes all you want, doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
I'm Indigenous Canadian and I grew up in a semi remote community where my family only spoke our Ojibway/Cree language. That was my first language for about the first ten years of my life.
I went to school and learned English and could understand it from a young age but I never needed to speak it.
At 14 I had to go high school in a city where everyone spoke English and I didn't. I could understand everyone but I had a hell of a hard time speaking or even to be heard. My brain knew what to say but my mouth parts were so out of practice that I couldn't speak properly or be understood. The software was working 100% but the hardware didn't cooperate.
I had a hard time speaking English all through my teen years. I didn't get comfortable with it until about 20. Even after that I spent about another five / ten years before I got fully comfortable with the language. I'm almost 50 now and I can comfortably speak English now and I have no problem making myself heard. Sad part is that in all that time, I've lost some of my ability to speak my Indigenous language.
Basically it's just practice and sticking with it. You won't sound right or you won't sound good for a few years but keep at it. Make mistakes, make yourself sound goofy or silly ... who cares ... keep practicing and eventually you'll get better with it. It took me a long time because I just don't like interacting with people. I saw others like me who were more extroverted pick up the language a lot faster and within a year or two just become as normal of a speaker as anyone else.
Practise ... it's like saying you want to learn to sing ... you won't be good at it at first so you have to practice and not be afraid to fail and fail often ... keep at it and eventually you'll be just as good at speaking as anyone else.
I would like to add this: I'm pretty articulate in English, and even though I speak French quite well, I sometimes feel like a small child when I try to speak it with my francophone friends, which is why I shy away from that. I feel like I barely know how to express myself and, since I find that so easy in English, it frightens me to struggle so much with it.
I say all this to let you know that you're not alone and that practice is, indeed, a path to success. It might not be what you need, but it's worth trying.
Where can you practise speaking that you feel safe? Where you can expect not to be judged nor ridiculed?

Given the context of your post, I would suggest starting with the basics. Taking the time to learn how to write properly may give you some ability to speak properly.
I have a really pacific issue
I don't know if this is typo or if you think your issue is as big as the ocean.
I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue.
The word you want here is "specific". 👍
Practice by reading out loud slowly and enunciating like you want a child to understand you. Do the same with others' speeches, as they were written to be said out loud. If they are recorded in an accent that is in the neighborhood of your goal, even better - you can practice talking exactly like a recording.
Even though this isn't off-the-cuff speaking, you will likely adopt verbal patterns that let your words flow more freely.
You can also join clubs that are dedicated to speaking to other people. If all else fails, something like toastmasters, though that's specifically about public speaking.
If this doesn't go well, that's also okay. You might want to look into a speech therapist if practice doesn't help.
I talk like xQc
Just looked up this guy and this seems obvious, Twitch.tv is the inverse of literacy and coherence. Stop fucking gaming and watching streams.
That's a wonderful mental image I feel like I understand high ranking streamers without watching them now
Also I searched Ukraine out of curiosity and he actually reacted to an HBO doc made by a rapist and an obvious fed military journalist 👁️👄👁️
I don't know what to do with this info. Probably fed to him to promote. Gaming streamers becoming political commentators to find a way out of esports is so fucking weird to me still.

I wouldn't even compare him to political streamers at least with political streamers like Vaush, BadEmpanada and Hasan they add something to the experience. They don't just watch random content on they find on YouTube. There's a trend now of them watching Master Chef. That TV show from like 2004. Just regular network TV.
Also, did the guy who made that documentary really a R*pist? How do you know?
You're dealing with both impediments and social issues here. This would be difficult for anyone. I highly suggest professional help, but if it's not available or you are unwilling, the next best thing would be to understand you're going to need to fail a lot with intentions of getting better, and it may never happen. I'm rooting for you.
Edit: To clarify, speech therapy and general therapy are what you will benefit from.
As others have suggested, professional help would probably be the best way to go about it.
Otherwise, here are my suggestions as a non-professional:
OP, I have the same problem and I recently made a ton of progress! Two things helped. First, I started humming almost all the time. I can't carry a tune, and it feels pretty silly. I was very self conscious about it at first, but it has really helped so much with producing sounds. Before all the humming, I never really knew what my voice would sound/feel like before I started talking. But now, it's like I always have that preview thanks to the humming.
The second thing that really helped is something I'm really lucky for. I live with a very supportive friend, and I told them that I would be making more noise and trying to talk to them more in general.
Oh, also apparently acid reflux was an issue too.
I still am not very good at knowing what to say, but at least producing the sounds has gotten so much easier
Just remember: practice is good, as long as you're not straining/hurting yoyr voice!
Learn new languages.
Learn to code.
May not solve your problem, but will help.
Also, read books.
You can start by using chat gpt's voice chat. it’s a small step, but it can help you practice carrying conversations. speaking in public is very different from talking alone, but this could give you some direction.
if your speech feels like xqc's, one reason might be overthinking how others see your face or gestures. building self-confidence can help—working out, for example, can make you feel better about how you look, which often translates to confidence in speaking.
another issue could be speaking too fast. try slowing down. you might worry about awkward pauses, but people enjoy listening. if you speak with authority and maintain your pace, others will adjust and give you time to express yourself.
lastly, if eye contact makes you nervous, don’t overthink it. a quick glance now and then is fine. it keeps you calm and focused without overwhelming you. over time, this can make speaking much less stressful.
I've struggled with putting my thoughts into words almost my whole life. Only in the last 2-3 years I started to actually get better (I'm 28 soon).
What could help is
* If you managed to find words for a thought write them down somewhere (I used phone notes for this)
* Not sure about this one, but maybe reading books out loud might help (doesn't have to be with anyone present)
I did both of these occasionally, but I think what actually helped me here was LSD, which I don't recommend unless you've properly researched the (side-) effects, are aware of all the risks and have trusted source to get it from.
So, 15 years later we're worse off than then? Argh.
Out of curiosity, was it "just" a plain Debian system, or did it support touch screen and phone service?
Around that time we had the Nokia N900. For me it was the perfect phone. Debian as a base with Nokia's (unfortunately proprietary) apps on top of X11. You could just recompile Linux apps like Gimp and it worked. Apps that were made for Palm's WebOS worked.
Pidgin's libpurple was used for all the instant messaging so just about any protocol just worked without any need for extra apps. You could easily hack the underlying system. People added functionality like using the light sensor as a button. Angry Bird's first release was on that phone.
I miss it dearly. It was killed by Microsoft. Nothing ever managed to come close. That little 128 MB RAM machine had better multitasking than modern 8 GB phones.
androids can't do base distro's anymore?
the touch screen support was TERRIBLE, but it was helped a lot by the physical slide-out keyboard and i never got the phone capabilities to work correctly, but i heard from my colleagues at the time that some of them had figured it out.
androids can’t do base distro’s anymore?
I'll be honest, I never tried. Seeing that there are projects working independently to bring Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch to Android, I'd guess no? Plus I know you can run any distro in an emulator within Android systems, but that feels more like a curiosity.
It depends. It's viable if you just need a phone with several open source applications (non-Android) and are fine with that. But if you need Android app compatibility it's probably going to be harder or more inconvenient to do, though I haven't checked the status in recent time. And then there's this evil thing called Play Integrity (essentially DRM restricting which apps can run on which OS) which is a problem even for non-proprietary Androids, so you probably won't have any chance if you're dependent on such an app (thankfully it's rare but as we all know stupid ideas tend to become annoyingly popular).
Main problem, as usual, is that Android and iOS have become such big and popular "platforms" for mobile apps that establishing a "third" platform for app developers is basically impossible (also remember what happened to Windows Phone OS, they were late to the market and failed spectacularly to catch up. Of course in this case it's open source so it can grow regardless of user numbers, but still, it's hard to catch up when lots of great Android apps were already developed specifically for Android). So you can only hope that Android app compatibility grows mature enough to be close to 100% compatible, so that you can also run almost all Android apps on your mainline Linux mobile OS. Then you're not "limited" anymore. (At least if you consider it "limited" when you can't run Android apps. Which most probably consider to be "limited").
So I think it's less about the hardware and OS/UI (I think they work fine these days) and more about the available apps.
[My main daily driver phone is a GrapheneOS (Android) and I have a Pinephone with Linux for playing around in WiFi at home only]
Flare? It's hardly complete. Can't even use it as a primary device.
As for the desktop app, it's not exactly mobile oriented.
Ah, ok
Not being mobile oriented is a very valid point.
Thought, that it maybe still is enough to work with, but yeah, I can imagine that it's not really nice handle on mobile - and probably no notification support etc
Also the "desktop" web app requires to be paired with an instance of the mobile app.
I wished moxie would spend a little less time flying helicopters and trekking in Tajikistan, and reflect on the need to support non proprietary platforms.
I don't daily drive one but I've been keeping a close eye on it and here's my opinions: postmarketos seems to have the most momentum out of any distro (you can see device support here). I do believe it will be viable eventually as a lot of work is actively being done. This month they announced two grants that were accepted for 4g volte calling and firefox on mobile improvements. They are also working on porting systemd to alpine so that gnome mobile and plasma mobile can be run without any workarounds. Also the oneplus6/6t seems to be the most hopeful for a daily driver.
tldr: I don't think it's currently viable but work and money is currently being put towards projects to fix that

Just saying what some guy told me.
It is also a highly modified kernel, extremely reduced. They do all filesystem stuff in userspace for example, which is pretty cool. And they add a ton of garbage out of tree drivers.
I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.
But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.
I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.
For targeted devices so is Gentoo. Their edge is having access to proprietary drivers.
But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.
If it's written in portable C you can use the Android NDK/SDK to cross-compile it for the 4 archs they support. I do it at work.
There are apps made for linux that don't work with android, and there are apps made for android that don't work with linux. That's enough for me to consider them different
Also android just doesn't use the basic mainline kernel which is what most people want when they say "linux phone"
Android is a Linux distro, just because its not gnu or running whatever subset of features a desktop Linux might have doesn't make it any less of a Linux distro.
The real question is what do you consider a part of a "Linux disto" that currently isn't available on android?
The only thing about Linux IS that its a kernel. Its not like BSD where all the tools get developed together and released in the same edition, Linux is a kernel, full stop. Anything built on top of the Linux kernel is a Linux distro.
Can you name something other than the kernel that would be considered an essential element of a Linux distro and not available on android or BSD?
Its always been GNU+Linux, even stallman acknowledged its a separate thing and distros without GNU or glibc do exist on desktop too.
Maemo was BAE
But we have maemo liste now. Too bad it only supports a few devices (and x86!)
Theres also sailfish which is based on meego which was supposed to be Nokia's successor to maemo. Sailfish is quite usable and has a decent android app layer, however it only works on certain phones and you need to pay for a license to use android apps
Droidian is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian for mobile devices. The goal of Droidian is to be able to run Debian on Android phones.droidian.org
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Droidian yet. It's the best of both worlds: You get a Linux phone with Phosh and an actual camera + sensors working due to the Android kernel. Check it out here: https://droidian.org/
It supports Waydroid out of the box, allowing you to run Android apps such as Whatsapp, Bitwarden and even Google Playstore, etc.
The new Firefox is miles away from what PostmarketOS offers. The only downside is you need a supported device, as per https://devices.droidian.org/.
So yes, I do drive Droidian daily, but I have an Android phone nearby just in case I need something specific.

SailfishX is a usable daily driver with decent Android app support.
BUT: you’ll have to be okay with dealing with random annoyances like:
-> Your default weather app lost the ability to get weather data.
-> Some Xperia 10 III devices lose audio after some time when using GPS. Unless you are in Finland, then you are fine. Nobody knows why.
The end of Windows 10 support in October 2025 presents a great opportunity for the Linux community to collectively help users transition their still-function...openSUSE News

Happily using Mint myself, welcome onboard ;)
SaveDesktop lets you save your current configuration (themes, icons, wallpapers, all desktop environment settings, extensions, etc.) with one click.vikdevelop.github.io
The big thing it has going for it is that they set up btrfs snapshots out of the box so you can rollback if necessary.
They also do more automated testing than Arch so theoretically it should be more stable.
opensuse was my shortest experiment when i used to distro hop because of how old their software seemed to be. (ie old like debian stable).
this was almost 20 years; has it gotten better?
... nowadays it’s in my top 3 list when I’m suggesting distros to people
same here; but only because of the support like red hat's and canonical's
i was wrong. i misread the article thinking that opensuse was going to turn into an analogue similar to centos stream ending up with suse eventually sun setting opensuse like red hat is doing with centos; but no, they're ARE doing a centos stream like model but it's going to be back and forth between opensuse leap and opensuse tumbleweed.
opensuse is back on the recommended list. lol
how do they do regular updates? how do they do major version upgrades?
I think both of these is a big pain point.
I don't understand, sorry. what I meant is the way you as the user do upgrades. you grab a terminal, elevate and run the system update command (zypper refresh, zypper update). major version upgrades are more complicated.
I can do this sure. But this is not noob friendly the slightest. and the YaST graphical tools don't make it much better either.
I won't say that the update system of windows is good because why the fuck does searching for updates minutes, and other reasons. but the UI of it is much better. it tells you what will it update, it has a button for starting the process, an automatism for it too. there's also a menu for the update history.
Does network work on those distros but not on openSUSE, or network doesn't work at all?
Maybe it's a switch issue? Can you try sudo rfkill and see what's the output?
No problem.
Hmm, if there was a soft-block or a hard-block that would affect all the other distros as well. In that case, trying from a Live ISO would indeed help. Maybe this could be something related to Network Manager. Can you check interfaces with ip a?
Also check if Network Manager running with systemctl status NetworkManager. If it doesn't work, start it with sudo systemctl start NetworkManager, then chekc your connection again.
leap 15.4, with KDE.
When there is an update a notification pops up, you go to system tray, click on the icon and do the updates.
you mean the menu that will make your system unstable if you dont reboot immediately after updates?
if I can remember, it also does not do it automatically, by which I mean there is no setting to make it automatic.
to try to make it better I had to install a separate package, of which I have not found any information on suse documentation, to have the KDE built-in automatic update system.
and it does not work.
it restarts the system twice, after which zypper still says that all the updates need to be installed.
you mean the menu that will make your system unstable if you dont reboot immediately after updates?
Not sure what that is or what menu it is. But yeah, the updates are not automatic, you have to manually start it. That "must restart after the update" thing is related to systemd, not openSUSE.
If someone wants an auto update system, that can be arranged with scripts. No idea where that could be done via GUI though. Sorry, I cannot check it right away since it's not my system. I don't use openSUSE or KDE myself.
Not sure what that is or what menu it is. But yeah, the updates are not automatic, you have to manually start it. That "must restart after the update" thing is related to systemd, not openSUSE.
I don't think it's systemd's fault that I repeatedly experienced general system unstability after installing updates with zypper.
By this I mean several elements of the system becoming unresponsive, like the shutdown, reboot, log out buttons stopping from working (them being pressed only resulting in a syslog error about being unable to start the program that shows the countdown), but also other programs like firefox acting weiry.
I don't think it's the fault of opensuse specifically.
And if you think about it, it's logical that this would happen.
Because version A of programs is what is still running, but the filesystem now has version B of a lot of things including executables and libraries, with lots of changes, and the assumptions for which version A programs were coded do not hold up anymore. And they crash, not even start, or do bad things. Processes that make use of D-Bus are especially sensisensitive to this, but others like firefox sometimes get tangled into it when they load a library only after the files were updated (yes I've experienced that too, both on linux and windows).
It's no wonder windows installers always ask you to close all (related) programs before installing or updating. It's not unique to windows: android kills the app when it is updated, abd system updates require a restart as well. I don't know what does flatpak do, but I'm sure that after updating the package, only after restarting its app will the changes get applied.
It’s polished and easy to use, it leverages all the work that goes into Debian and Ubuntu, but it’s still Linux under the hood and doesn’t forbid you from getting into the weeds.
I run Mint Cinnamon on my work machine, developing software for embedded Linux products, and I haven’t had any regrets.
Longtime every OS user. But have been using Linux since the days of Mandrake in ‘96. Switched to Debian shortly thereafter though mostly as a server/SDN device. Then a long spell on Ubuntu starting with 8.something. While I don’t use Linux on the desktop as my primary work OS, I do use it daily.
Recently, annoyed with windows, which I only used/booted up for gaming, I gave gaming on Linux a try. It’s been mostly flawless even when the games aren’t Linux-native. Hilariously Ubuntu was awful and I couldn’t get it working so I’ve switched to something more gaming specific and couldn't happier.
Garuda.
I’d never used Arch or Arch derivatives but if this is the experience I understand the memes a little more.
The package management is easy and very up to date. I like the BTRFS snapshots, and it had everything game-related available right out of the box. My Nvidia graphics card, which was the thing I couldn’t get working on Ubuntu, performed as well or better than under windows.
The only thing that didn’t work for me was ZFS - but because everything else was working well, I just went another route.
I need to do this with my gaming computer yet. I run Linux on my other machines (and have for many years), but this one is Windows. I bought the computer in 2021, but it doesn't have the trusted computing module, so I can't upgrade it to Windows 11 even if I wanted to.
Last night I tried to add an SSD that I had from a laptop that died, figuring I'll put a fresh install of Linux on the second SSD and not touch the original drive. Unfortunately, the computer didn't want to boot off the original drive any more - even when I changed the boot priority to the original drive, I still got grub from the new drive. I had to disconnect the new SSD to get the computer to boot Windows on the original drive (I wasn't ready to do the Linux install and might need Windows in the mean time).
I know it's a temporary issue at worst, as the installer will likely pick up that Windows installation and make it an option in grub. But it was a setback I wasn't expecting. I figured I'd put in the drive and have it just idling there until I had time to run the Linux installation.

Summary
A hacker accessed a file containing damaging testimony about former Congressman Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general pick.
The file includes sworn statements from a woman alleging she had sex with Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, corroborating testimony from a witness, and other evidence from a civil suit involving Gaetz ally Christopher Dorworth.
The hacked materials, which remain unpublished, also include unredacted personal information of witnesses and evidence tied to federal and congressional investigations.
The hacker’s motive remains unknown.
I'm on lemmy.ml but as I'm French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for "late".
Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?
Lemme.ml: Where you can call for murder and warfare against meat eaters and landlords, but don't even think about saying a no-no word, mister!
Edit: funny how all the negative comments flood in at once, almost like folks clocked in for work.
I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.
For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.
Specifically, it's when it's sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders, including state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)
So I think executions are not murder by definition
Spoken like a true shitlib
Lemm.ee: Where you can be a fascist but still complain about other instances
You say that like it's a bad thing
Socialists not being assholes to fellow marginalized people makes sense, actually.
It's more of a slur filter than a profanity filter. People can say fuck and shit and ass and the like, but slurs that dehumanize certain groups of people are a no go. In your case, it involves an ableist slur for dehumanizing people with intellectual disabilities. Other words that get caught in the filter include the N word, the F slur for dehumanizing homosexuals, b*tch and c*nt which people consider misogynist for some reason, and some others that escape me at the moment.
The fact that your speaking a different language shows why most people think the slur filter is dumb af.
That's good to know.
I was just pointing out cunt of all words shouldn't be banned in Aus, How many cu in the NT stickers do you see on cars? They're pretty common here in Brissy.
In the US, too, but the usage is always "you are acting like a woman and being a woman is bad so you are bad"
that's what 'slur' means
Unfortunately you just cannot simply take English as it's spoken in your country and assume it will apply universally and without change across all English speaking countries even as you and I now mostly successfully converse in English. The roots of words can be interesting and sometimes informative to know but it's not the whole story and ignoring actual usage will never garner a true understanding. It sounds like it's pretty important avoid the word in the US, but not so in Australia. It's not totally neutral here, it's still swearing and you won't hear a school teacher saying it to children, but it's also not coming from the same place in terms of meaning as in the US or UK for example. Sometimes it's an insult, essentially meaning a bad or objectionable person, sometimes it's used in much the same way as "mate", other times it can simply mean "person/people". Much like English itself, context is important and you have to know the background and contextual cues to understand which meaning to take.
You should come over here some time, you might like it, the weather is nice, we share a lot in common with the US, so you'd feel right at home but there's just enough interesting differences to be exotic and provide opportunities to learn something about the world you didn't know before. I can tell you're well meaning and I think people will probably appreciate that too.
The "Slur filter" is a server setting. The filter makes use of a "regex" (a text matching algorithm) to automatically remove any text that matches those words. An admin needs to explicitly set the rules for that regex. The regex does not take language into account, it is a simple text matching algorithm.
The box is in the Admin settings page and looks like this:
I know that lemmy.ml makes use of a strict set of regex rules. The translation of the french word for "late" matches an ableist slur in English, and so it is removed by lemmy.ml. ~~I am not sure about whether you can check regex for each individual server, but I believe that most instances don't filter that specific word out.~~
EDIT: Ah, I found out how to check the regex. You can check an instance's regex by going to the the URL https://{instance}.{TLD}/api/v3/site and looking for "slur_filter_regex". For example, for lemmy.ml you would go to:
You should leave lemmy.ml, they have a profanity filter which doesn't consider the language.
(before anyone comments, yes I know they call it a slur filter, but it also blocks some mild profanity so it isn't just for slurs)
New feature: with that checkbox ticked, nearly all images are removed and most of the Javascript.
This is quite personal for me.
Despite making a living coding websites I have spent the majority of the last 10 years on the wrong side of the "digital divide" - living in places with unreliable and slow internet, where I was glad to have a 3G connection with 2 signal bars. For the last 3 years my electricity came from solar panels so on cloudy winter days there was only enough energy to do a couple of hours work and that's it for the rest of the day, unless I just browsed text-only websites or gemini which merely sip the battery.
I know how exclusionary the 'modern' web can be, for billions of people who don't have fiber optic connections, reliable electricity or the latest smartphone. I really know.
While things are now much more comfortable for me, I'm still committed to making this platform more accessible for people facing challenges in internet connectivity, etc. Let's build a more inclusive online space together.

As a user, the lemmy API backend is pretty fuckin fast. The default web frontend however is a slug.
Using lemmy with a third party app like voyager is super snappy.
Oh my... I'll eat my words about python maintainability. No unit tests, no emulation tests (with emulated services), no tests with a database, no formatter, no linter, no type hints, simple pip... The result is working, but I'm a little bit concerned about the nigh complete lack of testing and though they use an ORM (SQLAlchemy), I find the raw SQL therein (even if it's simple) concerning.
Besides that, the end result looks quite usable and it's nice to see an alternative to lemmy.
Attempting to get something working first and possibly adding tests later? Or are there other reasons?
Pretty much.
It's a hobby project so we work on things we find fun or interesting. To me, tests are neither of those.
😄 understandable. Are you open to one or more of the things I mentioned being added? Strict type checking, tests, formatter, linting?
Yes we could really do with all of those. Patches welcome. Other than a preference for PEP 8 I don't have strong opinions about particular linters or formatters.
I see the benefits of types but am not puritanical about it. I'm ok with the way we're using types at the moment. Most utility functions have types specified, especially those that return database objects so the type information flows up to the routes pretty well. I mostly see it as a way to help my IDE autocomplete work better than as a holy grail. I'm sure there are places where more types could be added but making it a policy that every function must have a type signature seems OTT.
To keep it simple
testing and static type checking -- catches all the bugs
linting and formatters -- so git diff isn't pure noise showing trailing and unnecessary whitespace and collaborators won't have to go back to correct things that coulda been automagically fixed.
in code documentation -- Can be extracted by Sphinx as part of the documentation process. Hint: interrogate is your friend.
gh workflows -- to have the test suite run against various py versions, os, and maybe architectures.
Without which not even confident it runs well on your own machine let alone anywhere else.
requirements.txt -- is an output file. Where is requirements.in ??
xz hacker sends his love
Makefile -- for people who like a ton of shell scripts in their Python packages. Up until realize that ya know which Python interpreter is being run, but can't have any level of confidence about the shell interpreter. Cuz it's a big unknown and unknowable. Gotta just take it on faith.
BTW I recently added the database structure for post licenses and have PeerTube video licence information being saved into the DB when they federate to us. However there is no UI that will let people specify a license for their PieFed posts or comments. The UI needs to present a list of licenses to choose from and reading about all the different ones made my eyes glaze over.
You might like to start there as it seems to be an interest of yours!
I feel like I'm getting nerd-sniped 😄 Believe it or not, writing tests, adding type hints, adding a formatter and linting, are actually more interesting to me than UI-work 😇
I'll see if I can make some time this week, but no guarantees!
Rimu I love your approach to mod tools!
Sorry if I ask this but now that Lemmy has extism plugins, wouldn’t it be better if you tried to extend lemmy with your python skills rather than keeping to build from 0? Would help the fun even more I think (?)
Rally to protect the acolytes from those demanding efforts towards packaging and common practices!
Hey it works on their machine and maybe will on yours
Unless you use Void (sv) or Alpine Linux (openrc). Those people suck the fun out of the room.
Everyone should be using systemd, expect Grandma. She gets a smartphone.
Admit it, the author brought a smile to your face!
Can't stop laughing, the codebase and authors stance on packaging are hilarious.
After reviewing the source code, was gonna write helpful feedback. Then realized this project is perfect as-is.
A perfect example of what a python project looks like by those who really really hate packaging and UX.

The only Latin I know is from the thaumcraft mod
Surprisingly it gives you a lot of the roots you need to figure out words in other languages
Cum gallo et gladio.
That’s the only thing I know in Latin cause I want it to be my family coat of arms.
It means "with a rooster and a sword", but you need to understand French to discover the power of that sentence: "Avec un coq et une épée", or as famously said in slang, "Avec ma bite et mon couteau suisse" (with my dick and Swiss Army knife).
It a saying we use to say that we don’t need preparation or equipment to do something.
Latin: I can still bang out the five declensions and the four conjugations in my sleep. Trying to read a text, the sentence structure always finds ways to trip me up.
Greek: very patchy, I know a lot of words but my grammar is shite
I learned Latin in school for several years; I only learned to understand and translate it, not actively speak or write it, and have by now forgotten some of it.
I do not know any Ancient Greek at all, I might recognize some words from other languages.
I am a native Spanish speaker which makes me able to pick up the meaning of about 30-40% of words in Latin, although the semantics often confuse me. As for Ancient Greek (and some Latin words that look nothing like Spanish too) I've picked up a fair amount of terms from scientific terms, names and mythology.
I don't know how much all this translates into, I've never formally studied either.
I still have the .pdf of that textbook, promising myself that one day I'll go through it again.
HA!
Older millennial here. I know a few random words and phrases in Latin. A couple examples:
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
"Who will watch the watchmen?"
Thanks to the comic Watchmen. Meaning it is difficult to regulate the actions of people in power.
"Alea iacta est."
"The die is cast."
Attributed to Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon river, guaranteeing there would be a civil war. Meaning the outcome is uncertain, but you've passed the point of no return ("crossing the Rubicon" is also used to mean that).
I don't know any ancient Greek though.
Millennial here. I got a degree in Classics so I learned both in college. I continued to take Latin in grad school. Unfortunately I never used them, because, you know, there are no jobs in Classics, so I realistically have lost both. I could probably identify nouns/verbs/articles/etc and some vocabulary in a sentence. But that's it. Plus, I'm learning Dutch now, and that has kicked out all other languages rattling around in my head.
I really enjoyed learning both! And doing so taught me a lot about grammar, linguistics, and etymology that I've carried with me through life even if the languages themselves didn't stick. Would recommend if you have the time.
I know too much. Somehow the ancient greek teacher talked me into taking it. I wonder if there is any ethics violation in an advisor advising his advisees to take his own class... It's a great way to convince the bosses that there is a lot of interest in your subject and thus you should continue to be employed, I suppose.
After all this time, I wouldn't be able to walk up to the ancient athenian murder speeches and understand them, but give me a dictionary and two days and I probably would be able to pick it all up again.
Memento mori = Remember you will die
Learned it while playing persona 3.
I know like less than 10 phrases:
Etcetera
Ad hoc
Vice verca
Veni vidi vici
Carpe diem
Spiritus Santus
And some other I forgot how to write them and correect pronunciation because I never use them. Generally I only know words or phrases, not even a full sentence.
Latin: I'm reading at a level of a second year student. Noun and adjective declensions are solid, but I am trying to hone in on different tenses of complicated verb forms, such as imperfect passive conjunctive. I can only speak Latin with small phrases derived from vocabulary and familiar texts I've read. My speech is quite limited since there is no one around me that has an interest in Latin, so I have to piece together and memorize what I want to say before saying it.
Ancient Greek: I know only the alphabet.
Both: I am a self learner in my adult years and did not take either language via schooling.
I used to memorize the Greek Alphabet when I was young

Strong disagree on parental controls. As a parent, if I don't trust my kids, they won't get a device. Period. If I trust them, they will get a device without any limitations. Period.
I really don't see the point in parental controls, all it does is encourage kids to learn how to get around parental controls. Instead of that, teach kids what it takes to earn your trust and go that route.
I'm a parent, and here are my only controls:
We do no internet filters, no enforced time limits (they have their own timers though), and no locks on specific programs. Either I trust them with everything or nothing. They know what they're allowed to use, and they know the consequences.
Oh boy, good luck with that outlook in today's age. You can trust them to get into shit, I believe helicopter parenting has become prevalent because we've lost the "village" it takes to raise a kid. You used to be able to trust a parent to step in if they were over at someone else's house and a discussion got nasty or a fight broke out. You would have neighbors who looked after the kids and would let you know if they were up to some shit. Now the kids talk on discord and other apps, completely unsupervised or at times even inaccessible (after the fact) if they've set it up right. You've got algorithm's trained on millions of users to suck your kids in, never ending entertainment with minimal effort.
As a parent, who is completely conscious of everything going on around social media and technology, you will absolutely need to step in. Most adults can't even handle it, you WILL have to be the parent who sets boundaries on the stimuli their brain craves but has a negative impact on their overall health. You don't instill healthy eating into a child by giving them unlimited money and telling them to make their own decisions. You work with them, share your experience, let them cook sometimes but monitor over and see the results of their activity. Are they making healthy choices or ordering door dash?
Make it more difficult for them by setting restrictions they have to learn to bypass, even if it feels ridiculous it's a whole different setup for effort-reward. It will interest them into getting into deeper components of technology and how everything works. It's absolutely what kids are suppose to do, just like we always figure out a way to get away with shit which ultimately improves various skills.
lol I don't want to get lost in analogies, but these sweets are in their pocket. Their friends are giving them new brands and better sweets. You know what sweets you have in the cabinet, you have no idea how many sweets your kid is eating per day. This is all pretty generic through when considering the entire childhood. Of course you're gonna be there and watch your kid so they're not over doing it at age 4, but 12+? Eh, it's an uphill battle you should stay vigilant on till they're legally and showing at least basic adult responsibility.
If you're nearby your kid when you're in the park or they're at school interacting with other kids (etc), you're gonna be curious and want to make sure they're doing alright but just kinda peripheral paying attention to their actions while mingling yourself. It can be treated respectfully and non intrusively by just checking your router (other devices), what kind of traffic is coming in and out (generic safety), and maybe something along the lines of just asking to see their app activity in their account to get an idea of how they're spending their time without diving right into their private data.
I don't really understand the disconnect going on here and maybe everyone is a lot more innocent than I was. I for sure was up to some bullshit online at a young age and that was dial-up. We're really looking at everything like how the election went, social influencers, and young people getting radicalized online and just throwing our hands up saying it's all good?
That is neat on getting your kids into a better online environment where development isn't purely incentivized. But surely you must know that's not the end-all of a kids user experience when being online. You're not always gonna have them on just your setup either, they will be at their friends and on foreign devices. There's unfortunately not much you can do in that instance without making a huge fuss.
Is everyone just young without kids and had free reign on the internet and got by ok so it's more relaxed to you? Were you in a situation where middle school and that age have direct communication to each other? I know teachers and other parents with horror stories of the shit that comes out. It's mostly what would be considered old school frat boy or fraternity shit but at a way earlier age, some grow out of it but I imagine others just carry on since it never effected them and then we wonder about the trolls who exist on social media lol.
I just.. I could never comprehend twitter (or Mastadon, or bluesky for that matter).
The whole structure of the conversation feel like people shouting into an open auditorium. And everyone is shouting at once.
I just do not see the appeal.

UK here. We just switched to a Labour government a few months ago and it turns out that the previous Conservative government blew a £22 billion hole in the economy and didn't tell anyone, so now the new government have to deal with it by raising taxes which is pissing everybody off.
In particular, they're changing the way inheritance tax works which is screwing over farmers, so they're now doing mass protests.

Of course, they also freaked out about Biden having a few things from his previous White House stint in his garage around the same time (none of which held a candle to what trump had in quantity or severity), but nevermind that double standard. Trump was allowed because reasons.
I went to Texas A&M where H W's library is. It's a... nice building with.. uh... museum about him.
Story about H dubs though. I met him. It was at a BBQ joint on the side of the road halfway between College Station and Houston. The town probably has less than 2000 people living in it.
I was meeting my dad for lunch. There were a bunch of suits in sunglasses and earpieces standing in a dirt parking lot full of trucks with rust holes in them.
We walk in and there are H W and Barbara eating brisket.

Starship's upper stage will make a partial orbit of Earth, re-enter the atmosphere and splash down in the Indian Ocean...
Also known as not an orbit, or a suborbital flight / trajectory.
Saying a suborbital flight is a partial orbit is like saying a cessna can partially achieve hypersonic velocities.
NASA is also counting on a specialized version of Starship to ferry astronauts to the lunar surface later this decade under its Artemis program.
There is no public information indicating design on this variant has even begun.
... And Starship+Heavy Booster was supposed to have completed a succesful orbital flight in Q2 2022, per NASA's contract with SpaceX.
Which it still has not done, in Q4 2024.
If SpaceX somehow completes an orbital flight of this thing in say Q2 2025, and keeps to the originally agreed contract timeline, well thats only 3 years behind schedule.
But this is Musk. Not the best track record on delivering on promises, more of a 'pray i do not alter the deal further' kinda vibe, but spoken with all the menacing intimidation of Darth Helmet.
So far he's gotten a banana to suborbit in this thing.
...
I'll eat a sock if a SpaceX launcher and lander gets human beings to the moon and back safely by the end of 2030.
Did I forget to mention Musk's plan for a moon mission requires the Starship Lunar Lander variant to remain in Earth orbit, rendevouz and dock with and refuel from something like 12 or 16 other Starships?
... And there is also no publicly available information indicating actual design of this refuelling system either, just vague cgi concept arts of a plan?
I'll eat two fucking socks.
Ehhh, two years late for a rocket isn’t terrible. Space is hard.
But yeah 2030 is an aggressive timeline. I’m shocked NASA didn’t go for an Apollo-style service module and lander that gets assembled in-orbit, launched by Falcon Heavies. That seems like the least crazy architecture and requires very little new technology.
The original timeline NASA gave to SpaceX was to have a successful landing on the moon, with humans, and their safe return, in Q2 2025.
7 months from now.
...
You could theoretically refuel the S-IVb, the Apollo/Saturn V third stage, in LEO, with Falcon Heavies...
...assuming you redesigned both to do refueling in orbit, which has never been accomplished before with huge volumes of cryogenic fuel.
But you could not actually launch even a completely unfueled, completely dry S-IVb with a Falcon Heavy.
The S-IVb is about 22ft in diameter.
The Falcon Heavy's final ascent rocket is about 12 ft in diameter.
There's almost certainly no way that would be aerodynamically stable through launch.
The service module and lander are just too wide.
...
NASA did actually award another contract to Blue Origin (Bezos Private Space Program) for an updated, embiggened Apollo style lander.
That's going to be mated to a Locked Martin designed orbiter, and they'll all launch on the SLS.
... Assuming the SLS does not also fall (further) behind schedule or suffer from quality control problems.
A whole lot of SLS is built by Boeing. Not doing so great in the quality control department lately.
But hey at least one of the things so far has actually completed an uncrewed lunar fly by!
...
To conclude: Yes, Space is indeed hard.
But uh, the last thing Musk said about Starship+Booster is that it will actually have... half... the originally promised payload capacity to LEO.
... and they're going to making a Starship+Booster 2, that will have the original promised payload, and then a 3rd version that will have even more!
If you have to cut your effective payload capacity in half, thats a whole lot more than quality control problems, its fundamental design mishaps.
“It’s an incredible moment in spaceflight history.”…Eric Berger (Ars Technica)
Yeah, the Starship was severely over-promised from the start, especially the payload capacity. I wish there had been more required demonstrations from the beginning, instead of just using the numbers promised by Musk, who is known to inflate numbers for marketing purposes.
Not to mention the assumption of orbital fuelling working perfectly without even doing any demonstrations at all or pointing to any existing technologies. It's a very Kerbal Space Program idea but significantly more complex in reality. Especially as now they are planning 5+ refuelling missions per Starship going to the Moon, which is logistically baffling.
Honestly given current technology, it makes the most sense to care for the Earth than attempt to colonize other planets, which are fundamentally unlivable in a myriad of ways. Survival of our species doesn't mean a whole lot if it is 8 guys in a Mars base dependent on regular supply missions from Earth.
Not to mention, if we do focus on our planet and how to best manage the environment, it teaches lessons on how to potentially manage other planets' one day.
I started to learn how to use FLTK in Rust this year, so its fair to assume this update is specifically made for me; its so obvious. FLTK is basically a suckless toolkit for GUIs, with the goal of being small, light and standalone without being complicated. It is very small and can be compiled into the app without runtime requirements. It has most common functionality you would expect from a toolkit and should work cross platform.
Happy to see this update! Need to experiment and learn more about it soon for my first FLTK app.
FLTK 1.4 is out as the newest version of the Fast Light Toolkit that has been around since the late 90's.www.phoronix.com
You're right they do, I'm not sure where I got the idea that you couldn't run em but I'm sure I've got some error message about static linking before when trying to run a binary
Might've been whatever the opposite is (dynamically linked?)
You're not broken, your different. So you don't have many of the same experiences we take for granted. If you look at it in the right light it might be a blessing. You have the opportunity to have brand new experiences in a time when you can understand them better without the cloud of childhood. I think there are hundreds of things I would almost kill for, to experience for the first time again.
Before you might not have had a choice. Now you do! Choose to do the things you love. If you don't know what that is, keep looking till you find it. Find the things that awaken your passion and follow that road where it leads. Branches in the road and the choices you'll make will open more of the world to with each passing day.
We are all fucked! We all have baggage we needlessly carry. We all try to hide that from each other. Your baggage is just different than mine.
What ever you do in this world remember to be kind to yourself, the world can be rough and you at least need yourself on your team.
Big hug young one!

its likely possible since you're a human being and i image that it would take a lot of work given the manner in which you've shared this information.
there's a song out there by sublime that speaks to me and has enabled me to seek out the help that i needed from professionals and maybe it can help you too in some way:
Daddy he once told me,"Son, you be hard workin' man"
And momma she once told me,
"Son, you do the best you can"
Then one day I meet a man,
He came to me and said,
"Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head"
they were referring to weed as a coping strategy in the song; which i also do; but i've used it also convince myself to seek out help because no one can take care of the shit that goes on their head if they don't know what they're doing.
Life is just waiting around doing what you want to fill the time till you die. Fill yours with reintegration projects. Join some clubs, join a support group. Never stop searching for what you're seeking.
It's funny you wish to be a part of this clown show. It takes all kinds to make the world go round.
I wish I could disconnect from everything and fly away from the planet. Fuck this dirty dirty planet.
For most people, through professional help. You aren't SOL, and you could get there yourself, but it will be far easier with assistance from medical and psychological professionals that are trained to help guide you in ways that aren't just you struggling on your own or beating yourself up internally.
I've skimmed your other posts and you need more than well meaning strangers on the internet will be able to give you. You may also want to look into potential legal action against the institution you say you were stuck in, as none of what you described sounds like standard practice of care for the autism misdiagnosis you said put you in there.
Let me make a really strange analogy here. Education and vocational schooling are actually effective tools when there is a problem with terrorists or militias robbing people, or cultlike groups and gangs organizing, moreso than just ramping up military or police security for communities and businesses and transports etc. You have to solve the source of the alienated disenfranchised young men who become these aggressors, there is no way to ever catch up to it.
What I am saying here is you shouldn't focus on correcting yourself or beating yourself up, but finding education and assistance. If people who fought with ISIS or Boko Haram can be rehabilitated after a time, so can you!

Every day is a new day, and the old ones are gone and past. Yes, those days helped form the way you turned out: but you've got a bright new start, and now You get to decide how you turn out. It gets better, especially as long as you want it to, and work to make it so, even just the tiniest bit each day.
Also, therapy is always recommended.

I remembered the locked up for 20 years. I see now that they are a little different.
Others have given great practical advice, so I'll give you something to think about.
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics. They highlight the joint pieces with gold powder which makes the object even more beautiful and unique than it was originally in its unbroken state, embodying the philosophy of wabi-sabi, embracing the beauty in the imperfect.
Please take inspiration from kintsugi and find the beauty in your journey of repairing yourself.
As someone who's been in a similar position... you can't. I was extremely isolated and 'homeschooled' throughout my formative years. It appears to me that the feeling of alienation from peers is something most homeschooled children feel, and it doesn't seem to go away. Crushing depression and anxiety resulted in a type of self-isolation in my latter years, which my dysfunctional parents enabled to an irresponsible degree.
The knee-jerk response seems to be "seek therapy" or inane platitudes like "you can live life now!". They feel invalidating and trivialize our issues. On one hand it's understandable. Unless you've been through this sort of abuse it's probably impossible to accurately imagine its effects. On the other hand it's just really sad and frustrating.
We're missing a critical foundation. I don't know if that can be restored. Personally, I don't think it can. I'll tell you the things I thought might help, but I failed at: try to get an education and qualifications, as you'll have to work and these result in better opportunities. Try and socialize as much as you can. It will be difficult, and it will likely remain difficult, but you'll likely get better at masking with enough practice. Talk to therapists that specialize in CPTSD maybe. I don't really know... I'm struggling in similar circumstances, and I really haven't found anything that helps.
Depending on what you mean by “locked away for 20 years”, you may never be “on the same page” as society.
You can still live a meaningful life, and you can still be a part of society. But being “on the same page” might require you to focus on helping other victims of heinous crimes.
One who has been through the darkness can help by being a guide to others who are still in or recently emerged from that same darkness.
Hey everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and just starting to figure this site out. I mainly moved here because of the censorship on Reddit where they didn't publish posts that included the slightest word not allowed by their filter and they removed/blocked lots of content. I wonder if it will be somewhat better here (on the official site it says "Censorship resistant - By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.").
The weird thing I saw with Lemmy was when I wanted to sign-up on the "lemmy.ml" server instance that according to the official Lemmy Servers listing page is a "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers".
So I thought I try that one when it's from Lemmy's own developers. When I wanted to sign-up it required an application that you needed to fill out with one of the requirements being having to copy a sentence from the link provided which links to some article called "The Principles of Communism" which I thought was very odd for a site to do. I've never seen a site like this promoting some ideology that directly where it's part of the sign-up process to almost pledge to some political or religious ideology.
This seemed very sketchy to me. Does anyone know something about this?
You understood from that I am against immigration and I was praising imperialist ethno-states?
It is OK to let immigrant that could integrate to society. I would love to have Japanese immigrants influencing our society with their culture and mindset. You find it OK that people come and try to impose their religion for example? A teacher shows Mahomet pictures in a laic country and then immigrants start doing violence (I know that they are not all immigrants, some of them may have gotten citizenship). At one time some immigrant were saying that it is a good thing that we had a Charlie hebdo attacks. We shouldn't let people like that or at least we should do more checks before giving citizenship like it is done in Switzerland for example.
This wasn't around when I joined. I suppose this serves two purposes:
I think that's killing two birds with one stone.
Shitjustworks
shitjustworks is actually worse than .world. They are an actually crypto-fascist instance judging by the events the preceded our defederation with them. world is just slightly less fascistic but when it comes down to it liberalism and fascism are careening toward another singularity like what happened with the rise of the third reich in the thirties as liberals predictably treat fascists more favorably than communists.
A lot of its users are full fash Nazis, lots of NATO stans and the meanwhileongrad crowd are omnipresent. I've seen some users treat the instance more like Lemm.ee, as a tool for interacting with the rest of the fediverse, but you're right in that I immediately view anyone with a sh.itjust.works handle critically, and I'm in no way attempting to downplay the fascism from many users.
I'll edit my comment, though, it's important for others to know that the most overt right-wing fascists generally hang out there even if some users appear okay at a surface level.
I suspect the devs wouldn't even agree with this take.
Edit: really? They'd rather everyone align with their views 100% or fuck off to reddit? Why even make something like lemmy then?
They are an actually crypto-fascist instance judging by the events the preceded our defederation with them
Crypto-fascists?! The hell did I miss?
HILARIOUS!
So, the instance that demands you copy a sentence from the a communist’s manifesto ir not be allowed in- is considered “center right.”
brazenly transphobic, anticommunist, and white supremacist tendancies abound on that instance.
Like even moreso than .world
I think it's very funny that a lot of people will post "omg communism boogeyman? is this legal????", but they won't do a very basic introspection of ideology and online community moderation which is at the core the entire intent here.
Almost every lemmy instance has the same rule 1, those rules textually are often the same, those rules are often have the same meanings, but those rules are unevenly enforced between instances based on the ideology of that instance. That's why you can be a transphobe on .world without actually getting the same amount of mod action going your way as if you were a transphobe on hexbear/lemmy.ml/lemmygrad/blahaj.
Furthermore there's sociopolitical drama between the instances like between blahaj and hexbear on what transphobia actually is and what level of irony is allowed.
A lot of people interpret rule 1 as "don't be mean" rather than "be mean in ways that aren't racist/bigoted/sexist/transphobic/etc". Which is why they often complain that certain communities they can't post certain words, but user can dog pile them with community approved shitposting.
And then there's the lib instances who think that being mean to Ukrainians online is rule 1 and if not it's rule no disinformatsiya.
It's like when Twitter had to clarify, you cannot call for violence unless it's a call for violence that is part of the United States of America's foreign policy, because Trump as POTUS called for violence over Twitter as part of US FP. But we gotta always put the the damn commies under the microscope for making us copypasta Marxist thought.
Liberals are pro-capitalist, which inherently makes them right wing. American politics would have you believe otherwise, but American politics are severely skewed to make the populace accept the dominance and power of capital as an unassailable truth.
.world also makes a habit of denying ongoing genocides and shutting down any criticism of the parties involved in said genocides. Many of their users go out of their way to shit on left-wing instances and deride anyone left of them as a tankie.
Not to mention the sheer volume of woman bashing I've witnessed in gender-related threads.
So, all that considered, I think it's perfectly fair to consider them right wing.
what will you do if someone doesn't want to give their property to your collective willingly
I got bad news for you about every government ever. Are you sitting down?
If you have an email address, you're already used to the federated service pattern. When you sign up for a gmail, you're making an account with Google to be able to send emails to anyone else with an email address. And there's nothing stopping Google from making you fill out a "sketchy" application to get an account.
On Lemmy, each instance has its own set of rules, and if you don't like them, you just make an account on a different instance.
As far as censorship, each "community" (analog to subreddit) lives on a certain instance and the rules of that instance apply.
Edit: also on the topic of communism, however you feel about communism in the physical world is irrelevant when it comes to the digital world. Free and Open Source Software makes the world go 'round, and is often communist in nature, even if done unintentionally. The pattern of people developing software for their own purposes, and then sharing it freely with others is the purest form of "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." That said, running an instance isn't free, so make sure to kick your instance a few bucks if you appreciate their work.
If you don't like SpongeBob, pick a different instance, that's federation.
To me this is like having a problem with the flags someone else has in their yard. Not your yard, not your flags. You're free to not like their flags, but if your grievance is with the action of them peacefully demonstrating free speech, that's a you problem.
Sure, maybe that guy also happens to work at the flag factory down the street. Probably explains why he has so many flags. Doesn't mean he's going to make you put the same flags he likes in your yard.
Edit: for the record, I'm not downvoting you, I think you've been very reasonable in this discussion
I appreciate you addressing the downvoting; I had noticed the trend and it's very easy to jump to the "I'm under a personal attack" conclusion.
While I believe 107% that each instance owner can do what they want; if this given instance is the first instance to which most people will be introduced, being the closest thing to an "official" instance, should they have a duty, or at the very least, an interest, in maximizing the inclusitivity of their community?
I would say it's one of the first, but not THE first. Lemmy.world is definitely the most popular instance (to a problematic degree).
But I don't think expressing one's love of Spongebob inherently "excludes" anyone from using Lemmy. I don't think the Lemmy devs have any duty to anyone but themselves. And any interest they have in user adoption is for their own reasons.
Nothing would stop someone from forking Lemmy and making an alternative with different ideologies. I assume the license would ask them to use a different name to not cause confusion, and I would hope that they don't break ActivityPub or federation compatibility with existing Lemmy instances. But at that point, what's the difference between a fork for ideological reasons....and just spinning up your own instance?

I think this goes back to what teawrecks said earlier:
it’s not a for-profit business
It's a private club with a trivial admission process. It's not just that they don't care about maximizing inclusivity, growth, and total users, it's that they don't want any of that. They want like-minded people and they're happy to keep out or ban people that don't fit that mold.
It feels like you're saying they should want something else, but I don't see it as obvious why they would, and I don't think you've explained your reasoning why they would.
Lemmy didn't used to be just a reddit alternative. Before the Exodus, it was a safe space for tankies (in short, people glorifying the type of communism practiced in the Soviet Union).
Just pick another instance. On lemmy.ml you'll be banned as soon as you criticize Russia or China anyway.
That's not true, you can say fuck Russia and fuck China, but you will probably get banned if you start promoting US imperialism.
Some servers do the inverse and no one blinks, so I think their default isn't exactly that extreme.
This part is funny
I am sorry but you are wrong: This bit is beyond funny.
C'mon dude, they just asked you to copy a quote from the Capital, not to recite a whole brochure with the latest analysis on imperialism. And/or swear by it,
It is the most basic common ground for every left wing person and a monumental text in modern Western literacy.
Most people I would care to discuss with should have a basic understanding of what is written in there, and I believe it is the same for people running their own instance.
If you take such a vehement stance against "quoting" Das Kapital, then you probably you lie so much off center that I would personally could have no productive discussion with you.
I mean, even the notion that this is some kind of pledge of allegiance is suspicious enough in its own sake, like letting us on you believe leftists are somehow indoctrinated[^1].
I you weren't a little removed about Das Kapital you could even subvert the text by quoting something out of context so that it says something unintended by the authors.
But indeed, if you are turned off by this playful screening question, then it only shows that such screening serves its purpose most effectively.
[1]: To be frank lemmy.ml does not even defederate neoliberal instances, so perhaps there is a paradigm shift for you right there.
Taiwan and Palestine flag
??? Have you met the average Taiwanese?
Both leading political parties are pro Israel, as have the last half dozen presidents.
Don't get me started on the average Ukrainian.
69% of Ukrainians side with Israel, 1% with Palestine and 30% both or neither)
Though it remains unclear how exactly the Israel-Hamas conflict will impact Taiwan, it is already influencing public perceptions, both in Taiwan and the United States.Global Taiwan Institute
Welcome. Admins and mods of every instance, not just ml are very trigger happy to enforce their opinion. Going as far as fully disabling users accounts. Not by using an automatic word filter though.
Each instance has different political opinions you need to agree with. This one likes communism. Upside is no email verification required, so it is very private.
Lemmy is much more wild west than moden Reddit. Similar to old Reddit. Enjoy the ride.
Main Lemmy devs are communist and aren't shy to enforce their views, which gets reflected in their instance, lemmy.ml, which is considered to be fairly tankie.
However, as Lemmy is federated, you can join any other instance and view whatever interests you without having to recite political literature to sign up.
In fact, the most popular instance is actually lemmy.world, which is not politically affiliated; although it defederated from certain instances, which might make you feel limited. I found lemmy.today as a way to be connected with anything and everything, from Hexbear to Beehaw, to, well, Lemmy.world
Sure, I'll PM you.
For anyone else, it's easy to find by search, but it feels like one of those things that could be ruined if it got too well-known.

Their evil enforcement, our righteous peace keeping.

Being "apolitical" just means they're neoliberal. Which tbh sounds perfect for OP.
Nah, I take similar issue with liberals who scream about their views everywhere, asked or not, and do their best to turn Lemmy into a place where politics (and, especially, American politics, as if it's a country with 99% of Earth's population) is everywhere. If Lemmy.world would ask people to recite Adam Smith, I'd absolutely be pissed.
For the record, I am communist, I just don't want to be bombarded with politics at every corner and I refuse to analyze crochet through the prism of the class theory. It is possible to abstain from politics on .world, but it is often hard to escape on .ml (thankfully, Linux communities are generally neutral), or Hexbear (although it tries) or, Marx forbid, Lemmygrad, latter being a straight up shithole where politics is everything, people are as politically uniform as clones, and you can be banned for saying Stalin could be wrong in some of his decisions (I'm serious, it happened).
People need to have a place to relax and unwind, and endless political circlejerk is not a good environment for that. Politics is important, but not really when people just proclaim the same things over and over again as a form of leisure.

I doubt that; otherwise you'd be screaming at everyone, all of the time. Politics are life, life is politics; ESPECIALLY if you're not white-- this whole bullshit sounds like exactly why I don't organize with white "leftists"; 'cause you ain't no damn comrade of mine with a take like that. I don't get to just "opt out". I walk down the street, it's side-eyes from settlers over the melanin in my skin, side-eyes from settlers over the coarseness of my hair, side-eyes from settlers over the size of my lips and nose, side-eyes from settlers over why I'm even in their space when I lived here half my fuckin life.
I don't get to opt out, so neither do fuckin you.
Well, believe it or not, I do take issue with this liberal pseudo-left everywhere. Big part of the reason I stopped following politics on Lemmy is because it's mostly a uniform blob of liberals that consider themselves "the left", and the actual left "tankies" and dangerous psycho radicals because most of their kin of "left" are American exceptionalists who really believe not being a fascist means you're left now. And that took me a LOT of filter rules, not just unsubbing politics-related communities, to finally silence that shitflow.
We all are victims of the current political situation - some more, some less. Even trans folks, which are probably under the heaviest of fires right now, often prefer NOT to immerse themselves in the political debates and news more than it is required to merely survive - and that's totally understandable, because when politics hits you heavy every day, some people need to take a breather. Don't deny them that.
And me being white male doesn't mean I'm free from any oppression. While you may experience more of it due to additional traits, such as you being black, that's not alpha and omega of it, and the more we split, the less effective we are at uniting where we can and where it is equally if not more important - to fight for the working class. A black billionaire lives an infinitely better life than I do, and he does it by exploiting us all - white, black, male, female, nonbinary, cis and trans. That's not to say racism isn't real or some shit - a white billionaire would do even better - but there are many axis of oppression, and it's not like you're oppressed and I am not. Besides, I'm all for the demolition of racism, and while I could be less vigilant, I'm not much more tolerant to it.
No, I'd rather say you have an extreme case of "race/gender over everything" mentality that permeates so many pretentiously left liberals among others.
I'm not a "settler", I live where I was born, and I never (at least knowingly) discriminated against anyone on the basis of race. You seem to suggest that I owe you something for other people, for the severe oppression of the black people back in the days neither of us was even born, and for the milder (although very real) forms of it permeating today to which I hold no relation. I don't have to reparate you anything, and I refuse to give you some special status you seem to feel entitled to; but if someone actively discriminates black people (or hispanic, or even whites for that matter - that is a thing in certain societies, world doesn't end outside America), I am willing to take the side of the oppressed, and more people could join black liberation movement if you yourself wouldn't piss everyone off.
If you, however, still want to be treated in some special way, I don't need such camaraderie. You are either a comrade, an equal fighting alongside me (and me alongside you), or you're not. And the most I can hope for is your realization that we have issues we both struggle with, and end this splintering of the left that makes us weak and useless, infighting over fighting our common enemy. At least the right are ready to unite, so...here we are. Enjoy the fruits of your personal liberation.

I don't have to reparate you anything,
If you, however, still want to be treated like a princess, I don't need such camaraderie.
You really hit the settler-leftist bingo with this one, no free space necessary. Every last thing you've said reeks of uninvestigated white supremacy; and I'd suggest self-crit if I believed for a half a second in your bonafides.
That said, thank you for justifying why I put more faith in AES than white leftism, justifying why I consider there to be no revolutionary potential in the western settler, and justifying why I will only ever organize with Black formations. You, and everyone like you can't even bear to cop to the thread of history which your story is sewn in, let alone figure out how to rectify that state. This is exactly why I have no time, faith, or camaraderie for the white 'left'.
As usual, we'll have to get it our own damn selves, with you people constantly in our way. What I get for discoursing with people John Brown would've turned into a speed loader. And no, that you consider true, fully-reparated Black liberation to be 'Black supremacy exactly the same as the white variety", I fucking spit on you; and have no further interest humoring your eurofascist ass.
If you suggest we have to somehow "rectify" the mistakes of our ancestors (ours even?) beyond promoting equality of all people, I regret to inform you that "historic justice" is a component of fascist rhetoric.
The only good response to inequality in the past is struggling for equality in the present. Otherwise you promote the same discrimination, just the kind that benefits you, based in part on history you personally never got to experience. And if that's the case, I'm double disgusted.
We should put much more resources to improving conditions in predominantly black neighborhoods - precisely because they are far worse than white ones on average. We should heavily invest in providing decent quality of life in Africa, where most black people live, despite everyone only seemingly caring about blacks in the Western world. We should drop the perception of black people as dangerous gangstas holding pistols in the pockets - all while promoting conditions that would foster better living standards and security. We should ensure everyone is truly equal in the face of law. We should ensure people of any origin have equal access to job opportunities, education, healthcare, proper accommodation. I stand for that. But the moment you suggest we should somehow "rectify" mistakes done by other people in other times, what do you even mean? Should we build a black supremacist world to "compensate" for the injustice of the past? If yes, you're a black supremacist scumbag that is not an iota better than white ones. If no, I welcome you to explain what you mean.
Oh and - in case this will add some context to what I say - I am not American. I live on the land that was originally an empty swamp. Through series of wars, it was occupied by the Vikings, Finns, Swedes, and Russians, with local population counting in, like, hundreds, all white and European, of various ethnicities. So, it was never a colony to begin with, more of a barren cold land with some outcasts that only possessed strategic value due to access to the sea that wasn't completely frozen during the winter. This led to the formation of first Swedish and Russian fortresses that eventually, just 300 or do years ago, have been widely populated and turned into cities.
Quite a civil and reasonable response.
Any elaboration on what I got wrong?
The .ml admins (and devs of Lemmy the software) are from that crowd, basically. If you don't like it, try another instance.
Edit: .ml is for Marxist-Leninist, even. There's no connection to Mali.

this is a literal lie, its because the servers are held in mali not because of 'marxist leninist'
I am not against welfare or immigration but the people will let in should benefit the society and not the opposite.
This is not a "leftist" tenet. For someone who 'hates' rich people you sure as fuck think exactly the way they do, piglet.
This is only a few paragraphs in; on a larger screen you don't even have to scroll.
This industrial revolution was precipitated by the discovery of the steam engine, various spinning machines, the mechanical loom, and a whole series of other mechanical devices.
What is so objectionable about that, or so hard about copying it?
Being required to read something for less than 60 seconds isn't a violation of your rights- in fact, this is less than 1% of the time a EULA or ToS takes. It also takes less time and bandwidth than many of the AI-training Captchas nowadays.
If you have a problem with reading 30 seconds of something you have a feeling you might disagree with, the real problem is you not being willing to peek outside your bubble.
The many fascists on lemm.ee and their abhorrent, ahistoric, unfactual worldview being regularly celebrated is the reason for those claims. I constantly see the dumbest shit upvoted, the most trite clichés presented as novel insights. Actually reading an article is a rarity of the people on lemm.ee and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've met a lemm.ee user capable of introspection.
It's not just the spawning ground for the most basic neoliberal baby-brained takes on lemmy, it's also incredibly dull. It's like someone managed to gather all the worst redditors. Just a bunch of stupid, uneducated, unfunny, smug, idiotic assholes.

yeah i guess but wouldn't you need a usb a to c adapter and a powered usb hub and a external power supply?
or are keyboards power efficient enough that you don't need one?
