Also to uncollapse them you have to tap the comment from the right side, otherwise youll go to their profile page. Perhaps the user link could be deactivated if the comment is collapsed.

Fedora is looking at using the Endless OS metrics system for the collection of usage metrics.

This previously shared article showcases the details of Endless OS metrics, for those who were wondering.

Users will have the option to disable data upload before any data is sent for the first time […] and will not depend on Google Analytics or any other controversial third-party services.

While its still just a proposal, there is a lot of focus in protecting the privacy of their users. I’m glad they have those considerations in mind, and I hope it stays that way.

I recommend most people to read the devel list thread in order to better form an opinion on the topic.

Me, rn. I have 4 hours to make an essay about migration in Latin America and its biggest challenges. It was supposed to be done throughout the entire semester.

Goddamn i needed to read that. Very infuriating to read the quotes saying “Youre going against the point of federation guys. Were supposed to be open for big corporations to harvest our data”. Glad to know someone refutes those claims and explains why we are wary of meta

why cant we have nice things. fucks sake, leave us alone

Github shows the same: Last commit 5 months ago. Funnily enough, the main dev’s last comment was “Nobody quit anything” right after never showing up again.

Uazo, a collaborator of the project, seems to try to bring the project back alive. Even the /e/ Foundation is looking to support his work in order to keep bromite going.

For the future: if possible, consider the bus factor when choosing software:

What happens if <Developer> gets hit by a bus?

Do you happen to know if this is a Lemmy issue or a Lemmy.ml issue?

My grief with articles like this is that their “X is not there yet” statement rarely comes off as “It has rough edges but its improving”, but always as “This product is flawed. Dont even bother”.

And itd be fine if it’s just someone’s opinion, but here it’s someone’s opinion in a news article. The effect is that someone unaware of the fediverse will read that, assume that opinion is fact and never try the platform. Not only that, they’ll also start stating the same opinion to others as if they experienced it first-hand…

Articles should bridge the gap of knowledge! Stop dissuading people from trying new stuff and encourage them to give it a go!

Sure, promoting lemmy as a drop-in replacement of reddit is downright dishonest. But it never hurts to create an account and see what the fuss is about. The article should work as a heads up to avoid headaches, not the website altogether.

Who knows, maybe it will be a perfect replacement for you, despite everything. I know it was for me.

Yo shoutouts to the Verge’s journalists. Theyve been documenting this whole debacle its crazy. Usually news articles arent that relevant in my day to day life so im surprised theyve been watching every development.

Ok, reading the article, removing mods through voting doesnt sound too bad when you consider that turtle-something mod, who moderates way too many servers and removes/bans every post/user talking shit about them. Finally we can get power hungry mods out the fucking door.

Too bad they only decided to work on it to kick those mods keeping the blackout alive. Like why do they want to fight their userbase so badly

No way were gonna see reddit elections and campaigns this is hilarious

Same. Im already within more communities than i ever had subreddits. Theres simply more to talk about here imo. The platform just needs to grow a little bigger and well have the ultra-niche communities not be complete ghost towns. Cant wait!

I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.

This makes more sense, and its awful.

For now dun dun duun

I would love for instances focused on their own topics. mandra.xyz is all about science and exploration. The only reason we dont have a gaming focused instance is that we simply havent done it

oof, id rather call them “comms” or just “cs”(cees)

Ive been rocking an ublue image for a few weeks now and ive been pretty comfy with it. Before using inmutable distros the idea of having random clutter anywhere on my pc was quite frustrating for some reason lol. It led me to reinstall the os whenever i installed/uninstalled too much crap. The concept of an “always clean” os is what let me to silverblue: Now i can just delete a container if its getting too big for my liking.

Ublue is the cherry on top: Now i dont worry about updates at all. Its always a new, clean install every time i boot up the computer. One day ill look on the ublue’s core qualities so i can improve my experience even further. Also long live rpm-ostree rebase; it made the switch as painless as it could be.
