  • Wait, so instead of using tabs in your browser you just... put separate windows on top of each other, and use your taskbar/keyboard shortcut to switch between them?

  • ‘Meta is out of options’: EU regulators reject its privacy fee for Facebook and Instagram

    Jump

  • Curious how they expect this to work for people who aren't even "paying" [with money or data] Meta users. Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like. Are they supposed to pay Meta to not hoard their data from all the other websites, despite never setting foot on a Meta site?

  • Is "Hey Siri, skip this track" really any better than just, reaching up and tapping your earphone?

  • Murena Fairphone

    That's awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.

  • Their mission is amazing but I'm not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn't also ad-laden.

  • Well, that's fair. You're an absolutely miniscule minority of Android users though

  • Cheap chinese All android phone

  • Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?

    Jump

  • My Xperia 10 III has it up top. Damaged more than one cable by just jamming it in my pocket upside-down then realising the cable's getting smushed up. Note to self: Get headphones with 90 degree cable connectors

  • Are AMD laptop discrete gpus good in linux?

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, how does this work with an external display? Does your HDMI/DisplayPort out go via the dGPU, or is it still done in the same way?

  • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

    Jump

  • I've been dailying it on my desktop for a couple of years now (I want to say since 2022 but I forget exactly... there was a Plasma release where a certain feature finally became realised on Wayland and I switched then). Been running on my laptop for much longer, where I use GNOME. It's been great, but I don't have any Nvidia hardware.

    😠Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time😠

    Jump

  • And that’s what I’m questioning. Would you? Would you think others here would? I wouldn’t. I’d rather go to whatever fork Fediverse devs favor instead. If anything, all the fear being expressed every time Threads integration is brought up only emphasizes that this is not how it would play out

    The network effect can be strong. Say you're now able to contact all your friends via your favourite Activitypub instance, you had to previously use Facebook.com or Threads or whatever but now they're all here. You delete your Facebook and keep your Activitypub account to speak to all your friends who are on Threads.

    Now Meta pulls the federation plug, or adds some feature that makes your Activitypub server not able to fully cooperate (Maybe you can talk, but you can't video call anymore, or you can't post GIF/images, whatever). Now what? All your friends are over there and getting annoyed with you. So... you eventually succumb and fire up a Threads account.

  • Why would you say everyone's a Christian? Might as well have some fun. Change all the ones marking themselves as Christians to say that they're gay liberal polygamists or something.

  • You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on

  • Fedora 41 will drop GNOME's X11 session

  • Plus XWayland compatibiliry layer is an essential component as so little software has been rewritten to work with wayland natively.

    Basically all Qt4/5/6 software and all GTK 3/4 software works on Wayland natively, outside of a few edge cases... what else is there aside from games?

  • UK Trial: Pornhub's Chatbot Halts Millions from Accessing Child Abuse Content

  • Sorry I know this is a serious subject and not a laughing matter but that's a funny situation. I guess I was a MILF hunter at that age because even then I was perfectly happy to knock one out watching adult porn instead!

  • Pipewire vs PulseAudio: What's the Difference?

    Jump

  • Pipewire's got fantastic JACK support. You can even run standard JACK control GUI's like Carla on top of it and expect them to work just like they would on regular JACK

  • Bluesky federation goes live

    Jump

  • Its why lemmy lets users block a server now even though mastodon doesnt.

    As someone who had to switch away from mastodon.art because my pool of federated instances was getting so small it felt pointless to be on a federated platform... I'm SO glad Lemmy takes this approach. I don't mind my instance having some control over who they federate with (I have zero interest in seeing actual nazi comment or CP for example) but if my instance blocked lemmy.world or another similarly large one I'd definitely be a bit screwed (mastodon.art defederated mastodon.social for a time!)

  • which linux phone is the most promising?

    Jump

  • I have two banking apps that both run perfectly on Sailfish OS's Android support layer. Obviously I'd prefer a native/webapp at a push but if for some reason you really need to use the banking app there are ways to do it.

    Jump

  • Been daily driving SailfishOS for absolutely years. Originally ran it on a Nexus 4! It's by far the most polished not-Android/iOS phone OS going right now.
