  • Should I eat it and jump to win11?

    Jump

  • I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.

    My point is that it's not a big decision/commitment. And it's trivial to undo!

  • Calibre-Web-Automated v3.1.1 - The Community Update 👬 Hardcover Integration 💜, Calibre Plugins 🔌, Split Library Support 💞, KoReader Sync 🗘 and much more! 📚

  • Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what's the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.

  • Thoughts on social media device?

  • Using a PC is going to be safer actually because it's easier to block most of the telemetry. Bonus points for Linux.

  • This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.

    The person you replied to asked what the connection is between "Calibre-Web" and "Calibre-Web Automated"

  • Thoughts on social media device?

    Jump

  • Is there some feature you need that is sprcific to mobile devices?

  • What do we think of Bluesky now?

    Jump

  • So to make a bluesky with (for example) two users is available for anyone to create at any time, but is so extremely technically intensive that absolutely nobody besides the one company is capable of doing it? You don't find that the slightest bit odd? I think the open source and decentralized claimes are straight up lies.

    Fauxmoi starts doxing people for having different views

    Jump

    1. Reposting easily attainable public information is not "doxing"

    2. Criticizing someone's political views is perfectly reasonable

    3. If you were acting in good faith and truly believed what you were saying then you would not have reposted the "doxing" information

    Why isn't Mbin more popular?

    Jump

  • Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it's own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for "fediverse reddit".

  • What do we think of Bluesky now?

    Jump

  • Bluesky isnt decentralized

  • What do we think of Bluesky now?

    Jump

  • But if it's open source what is stopping them from simply creating another bluesky like yesterday?

    Jump

  • Jay Graber's background before BlueSky is in Web3 so take that information how you will.

  • What do we think of Bluesky now?

    Jump

  • My bad, I'm not an expert here but it's weird that it's open source and yet nobody else can have a bluesky? Like could I download that code and make a bluesky for everyone? If so why has nobody else done it? why is there only one for profit bluesky?

    To answer your question though, no nothing has changed.

  • What do we think of Bluesky now?

    Jump

  • It's still for profit, not federated and closed source so honestly I don't know why it's being discussed here

  • What's going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?

    EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

  • I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust

    Jump

  • From someone waking up from a coma without experience with Windows or MacOS, Linux truly is the most user friendly. It may not have been true five years ago but in my mind it is without question true now.

    Jump

  • I hate to admit sometimes that the Chrome experience (especially on mobile) can be a lot smoother and quicker to load, but Firefox wins every time on extensibility. But to your point yes the hate directed Firefox's way can be well, a bit much.

  • I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust

    Jump

  • I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.

    Looks like it is! I was under the apparently false impression that it was only partly.

  • I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust

    Jump

  • Well, because FOSS apps are usually the best/most user friendly option even if they're not always the most popular. If you woke up after a 30 year coma and had no prior commitments to using any particular software, there would be absolutely zero question that Linux is the best OS today.

    An OS is a complicated thing, yet the FOSS option is the safest, most user friendly, and most versatile. I'm just a little surprised there isn't a browser that checks those boxes too, since the browser is a widely used thing. But I'm guessing because Firefox exists the number of devs willing to give the time investment just isn't as many.
