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.
 

I saw today that they changed a lot about UI in the timeline. The vote buttons are at bottom instead of on the right side. Images are not tiny thumbnails anymore. Even, the thumbnails feel better somehow. I love all these changes.

The only small nitpick I have is that, the vote buttons are a little small, it feels more so in the main post. And a very unreasonable complaint, that I don't think need to be addressed, would be, the vote buttons are too generic. Would love a little more style and better colour contrast.

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?

I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.

I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn't let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate "loli" content to a degree that other side doesn't. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

It's showing me the same thing

I don't know who wrote this book, but he is a genius.

 

Recently I switched to Fedora 40 from Ununtu. Now, I am facing this weird problem, whenever my laptop suspends I cannot use the power button to wake my laptop if it's in tablet mode. It works fine in normal case. Also, this wasn't an issue in Ubuntu. Anyone knows how I can change it?

I am using a 2in1 laptop (Dell) if it's relevant
