At this point just get a rasbperry pi, or some similar device, and run it as a regular computer. Firefox, ublock origin, don’t worry about ads, and turn it into a machine that is capable of soooooooo much more. Hell, any PC will work. Steam Deck, NUC, that old laptop you have laying around? Been running little NUCs on my TVs for years and so happy I don’t have to put up with that nonsense.
The Linux Experiment is also on the Fediverse.

While I think she’s missed too much, she’s quite old, and I think she should be replaced (though I’m not in her area so this is a moot point really), did anyone here actually watch the video?
This is a confusion in procedure and happens all the time.
Here is the video, go to 53:40 approximately:
This is the part that caught my attention:
Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult.
And we do those things, not because we’re fraudsters, but because we’re trying to protect ourselves from the likez of YOU!
YOU did this, change your model and maybe it’ll be better? Oh! But! Mooooooooney! I forgot. Stupid me.
This is the fucking bully telling the nerd that if he doesn’t just HAND OVER his lunch money, that he’ll get beat. It’s YOUR fault! Not OURS!
Edit: Formatting and added about bully
Edit 2: fixing the formatting of the formatting edit. :-D lol
NO! No bugs! Be perfect!
Seriously though, I’ve seen way dumber shit in “production” ready code.
I won’t use Bluesky, but this happens all the time. I also don’t see the issue.
I’ve told folks before, once and last time in front of developers (they didn’t find it funny) , that all code is shit. Not because they’re bad at it, but because it’s impossible to account for EVERY possible factor. They always make a better idiot. US: “Here’s this square.” Them: “I cut the corners off to fit it into the round hole and it no works!”
Flatpak works on Steamdeck.
This isn’t a converstaion. This is comments be slung back and forth. I argue you can’t really have a conversation on these kinds of platforms and at this pointit’s pandering at the best and downright insulting any other way as every step the mods attempted to speak out and they ignored everything including forcing them open back up.
Honestly i understand how these folks don’t want to walk away fron communities they helped build, but how bad does it have to get before you do walk away?
Sadly communities rise and fall faster than the tide on the internet. Find something for you that you control and contribute to that, no some douchebag exec that sees you as a dollar sign.
Also there were no answers or conversation there. Just 3 comments from the admin, 1 saying he’d take the feedback on the lowest scored post and then 1 refuting something and the last pointing to that refutinf post.
I actually talked to the admin of TILVids about this. And he realizes the double standard, you can still access things from RSS, but he’s worked hard to get YT content creators to come over and the biggest concern those folks had was protecting their content. So he did turn off Federation to assuage those fears. He does push folks to spin up their own instances when they get big enough and even helps them with that if needed. He doesn’t want TILVids to be a silo either. I definitely understand the feeling and even had to think through that as well.
Peertube has RSS. I hope this pushes folks to Peertube. I personally recommend and love TILVids. You can set up an account on TILVIDs and even follow folks on other instances. Or spin up your own Peertube if you’re brave enough, I could never figure it out but I plan on trying again some day. :D aNot that I want the alt-right stuff, but if they go on their own server everywhere else just DeFederates them and I never have to see it.
But yeah, LBRY was all in on the Crypto BS. Honestly kind of hoping this is just the tip of the iceberg for the crypto companies playing in the arena.
Some folks have stated in other places that Odysee is a separate company, but I remember when Odysee was launched by LBRY. I mean, maybe Odysee will still be around, how are they going to make money without LBC?
I noped out of LBRY when they started down the conspiracy nut route and really stepped out when it was clear they were more interested in crypto than content.
The Jake Paul giving away $5,000 to someone that boosts his message is just disgusting. Those people see a CELEBRITY just oh so generously giving away money! YAY! I see someone in a position of power saying “DANCE MONKIES” for what’s peanuts to him and helps his celebrity even more and that’s fucking disgusting.
In my experience being vocal about changes doesn’t do much. There’s a million factors and Linux support is probably at thr bottom of their priority list. Or they’ve been told be the anticheat it’ll be fixed someday, etc. I understand they’re a super small team and they have to pick their battles as well.
I’m too tired for that fight/discussion anymore. I’ll vote with my wallet. Plus I have a million other games to play.
I’m not into FPS anymore, but even I thought about picking it up. The substance over style is fine with me, but that core gameplay seems like a rock solid thing. The only thing that has given me pause on picking it up is that they’re planning on changing the anti-cheat that isn’t Linux friendly and as a Linux user, just gonna wait for now.
I stopped using Signal after they said no alternate clients, then got into crypto, then introduce a proprietary shim to their stack.
I plan on someday actually running my own Matrix server for myself and family, right now I’m on Matrix.org though. At this point I don’t know how folks recommend Signal over Matrix. There are a lot of clients, so maybe the choice of clients is too confusing? IDK.
But anyone saying Matrix isn’t easy enough for non-tech folks to understand, my sister, niece, even wife set up Element themselves on their phones without issue. My father and step-mother both use Element with us. I configured it but they know how to message and do video chat and things.
Found a PCMag article indicating this:
https://www.pcmag.com/news/fbi-document-shows-how-popular-secure-messaging-apps-stack-up
So OP did indicate it’s from 2021. That’s a long time though in tech. So while interesting to see, who knows if this has changed in 2+ years.
Yeah, it’s a LOT of fun. I always liked the Steamworld style for games. And I enjoy that they always try something new.
It has a great feel, the art is great. Apparently the demo ends before you get to the tower defense type mode. But I think they nailed the Anno feel while keeping it less complex and more interesting for me.
I’m a linux nerd and I jut run stock Fedora. It’s desktop is like a phone UI, so lots of folks are familiar with it.
I then use a wireless keyboard and trackball. T
here are tons of remotes out there,but I don’t have any experience with then. Let me know if you find a good remote though. 😁
