Remembering the good old days when that used to be IE's job.

you can't even consider it a true federated network like activitypub

There is Komikku for linux though it's kinda limited to sources it supports. Komga is a nice self hosted option with support for Mihon and all the tachiyomi forks for android. There is a tachiyomi fork called Komikku (different from the linux app) that I like.

Maybe, but they attract attention. This kind of attention, although bad, will bring people to talk.

Does this work work for anything other than mastodon?

It looks like some undergraduate's attempt at Grand Unified Theory. Also, what is Gellman matrix?

IMO The Fedi Origami looks waaay better than the 3 cat but holes

I had the same thought

The stabbing was literally live streamed and they were trying to block a very graphic footage to be viral on Twitter. I would have blocked the instance if any fediverse instance didn't remove such a video from their platform.

X’s Global Government Affairs team described the outcome as a win for “freedom of speech”.

So I guess every upper level employee at deadbird site is just another Musk asskisser with the same demented view of free speech?

wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don't get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn't. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn't. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don't have to choose the largest instance out there.

  • I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should've worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.

Start with Gentoo or Arch

I wouldn't recommend arch to general users. I consider myself a general linux user, and figuring out Arch, even after the installation hurdle, wasn't easy for me.

is like fixing windows when it doesn’t

I don't think Arch really makes that easy. Although, I guess archwiki is pretty great. Even arch forum helped me a lot with respect to other disto.

But, are most of the users getting this Bluetooth problem? Has it occurred to you that that maybe this could be a you problem rather than a general user problem?
