nothing. I am a bazzite and bluefin convert. it feels like a dream after 20+ years of futzing about with Linux.

why are you booing them; they’re right!

winmodems and modelines were problematic but it was liberating to be able to tinker.

and walnut creek was doing the Lord’s work.

Bazite and bluefin for me, too. been daily driving Linux since the mid-90s and this little cluster of distros is the best experience I’ve had. really feels like everything finally came together.

I regret that I have but a single upvote for you

I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.

y’all sure like KDE though 🤢

maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.

I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

louder for the people in the back.

I use threema with family but getting others to use yet another app (especially for thin social connections) is difficult.

Depends on your threat model though, I guess.

Having been around since the early days of identica/statusnet: no, not really.

It’s always been small and a generally nice set of communities but it won’t reach a large enough audience to matter. US (and to some degree) global politics are such a clusterfuck that it’ll take more than some little servers with people discussing open source software and art or whatever to create substantial change.

that’s not to say it’s pointless. it’s nice to have these little groups to focus on. it doesn’t give me any hope but it does regulalry lift my spirits.

EDIT: I also dont think it needs to be any kind of agent or tool of change. Why can’t it just be what it is? Groups of people socializing with one another?

is cockpit on a server by server basis or can you monitor multiple servers with it?

you folks are still scrimbling? hacker news says you can get much better results if you dronkle instead. in fact, you don’t even have to worry about your implementation, just use the kneeb.io api for all of your dronkling (and scrimbling i guess via their legacy api deprecated last month). they just got seed funding and they reinvested that into their infrastructure. this is a no brainer!

js considered harmful.

have these streams been added to radio-browser.info?

Is it dead or complete? For my purposes, it doesn’t need any changes.

Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.

I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.

This is a highly personal topic so I’d suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.
