I am not sure why subscriptions are often not instant. Some subscriptions are forever stuck in the pending stage. The problem is that to enter a community in that state I must remember the host and community name, or I have to search for it again every single time.

The fix: put in the profile a list of pending subscriptions so we can easily enter those communities.

It's man made though. Made in 1998

It comes down to this, the heavyweight desktop championship between two powers in the Linux world.

In the blue corner, we have the mighty KDE, KDE comes with a wealth of customization options and good features with every update. It serves a nice alternative to windows 10 or 11s desktop and itself as an OS.

KDE has got so good that even legendary distro, Fedora, wishes to use it in its dealings.

In the grey/black corner, we have GNOME, This is a heavy distro with some ram usage, but it strives to be a simple desktop for usage and has had some good features every new version it comes packaged in as well.

GNOME has had a long history much like KDE, But controversial changes from its older brother.

However.. big name distros like Ubuntu have used it across millions of machines in different sectors.

What desktop do you favour and why? Explain your thoughts.

Round 2... GO!

For the past four months beehaw has been unreachable to those of us on the Tor network. Glad to see access was finally restored. Was there an attack?

I could really use a way to periodically backup my posts to my local disk so if Tor is spontaneously blocked again I at least have my history. I’ve not found a Lemmy equivalent for Mastodon Archive.

(edit) For security, it would be a good idea to setup an onion instance. The Tor network has built-in DDoS protection for onion hosts.

i remember hearing this from matt rose reading some gibberish off a tweet when i think i was watching my matt rose playlist and now I can't find it.

Das DWDS wurde am 31.10.2024 als Android-App im Play Store veröffentlicht.

Es bietet "rund 250.000 Einträge zu Stichwörtern und Wendungen der deutschen Gegenwartssprache" die mit der App offline genutzt werden können. Das schlägt sich in der App-Größe nieder, ca. 350MB belegt die App aktuell auf meinem Smartphone.

Die App ist kostenlos und werbefrei und wird, wie auch die Web-Version, von der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften betrieben. Veröffentlicht unter Apache 2.0 Lizenz.

Leider gibt es die App bisher nur im Play Store. Um das Wörterbuch ohne Play Store offline nutzen zu können, wird auf Kiwix verwiesen. Auch im IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo verfügbar. Dafür stellen sie eine ZIM-Datei bereit.

Die DWDS-App baut ebenfalls auf Kiwix auf: org.kiwix.kiwixcustomdwds

Bin mit der App bisher sehr zufrieden. Es fehlt noch eine Möglichkeit das aktuelle Wort per Link zu teilen oder ich habe die Option noch nicht gefunden.

When querying for “legal” and “law” on lemmyverse.net, it’s starkly clear that many communities are missing from the database. I get far more results when querying on specific instances. So what’s the problem? Is it no longer crawling?

Hazel still also only gets minimal timeshare of the brain cell but she's a survivor, having recently recovered from hepatitis! 🎉

This week we of course continued the customary bug-fixing, but got some nice new features and UI improvements too!

Let me also remind folks about KDE's end-of-year fundraiser. We're 84% of the way to our goal, and it would be amazing to get all the way to 100% before December! Then we can focus on those stretch goals from December to January.

Anyway, enough of the sales pitch, back to the free stuff!

And isn't that amazing? Let's zoom out a bit here and remind ourselves just how incredible it is that this software is made available for free, with no contract or license agreement, to everyone. To you, to your school, to community organizations, businesses, governments, even our direct competitors to study and examine (which goes both ways, and helped me fix a bug in GTK this week; read on for details). It's kind of wild, if you think about it. But, here we are, and we want to keep on being a light in a tech world that sometimes seems to be darkening. Help us keep that light glowing!
