The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

You might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen, KDEs UI for TVs. Combine it with Waydoid and you get a system that allows you to sideload anything you want.

Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

Nice to see that my translations made it into the latest update. One thing I noticed while translating: I couldn’t properly translate time related strings into German without running into grammar issues. The correct translation for “5 min ago” would be “vor 5 Min”. The number moves from the beginning into the center of the string, which isn’t possible in your current setup.

Now for some more general feedback: I have been thinking about how to structure the UI of the app. Currently you’re just throwing every menu option into the pulley menu. That means this one menu contains both navigation items and actions for the current view which I generally consider suboptimal UX. I’m sure this is just temporary while you are working on features and you have ideas how to restructure the central navigation. But I want to give one option of how you could possibly restructure the UI to clean up the UX nonetheless. I’m aware that this is a big change to the app, so see it as merely an impulse.

SFOS has generally speaking two forms of main navigation menu: The menu page, which is what quickddit for example uses, and tabs. I have chosen the latter option for this concept:

The pulley would contain the options to change the feed between subscription, local and all, as well as the already existing options to refresh. But all options should relate to the feed.

The search tab could double as the list of your subscribed to communities:

As soon as you tap on the search field the list would disappear and make way for the search results.

Again just a couple of ideas of how to guide the user a bit more.

Except the provision in question was copy pasted from an old law where it existed for decades without any change.

I find the tendency on Lemmy to see a conspiracy in every law concerning.

Criticise the law for what it does (there is enough here for it) and be wary of potential abuse. But sometimes warm water is just warm water.

1. The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
2. There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.

Some Matrix clients such as comment also support screen sharing (for a more discord like experience). But I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t speak to its quality or reliability: https://commet.chat/

Some mobile clients such as Thunder support it. But if you don’t use a client that supports the feature, then you’re generally expected to put the transcript into the post body.

While the law requires men to request the permit, the [army] spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.”

"Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. (…)

When asked, the ministry spokesperson pointed out that "the regulation was already in place during the Cold War and had no practical relevance; in particular, there are no penalties for violating it.”

Yes it is

That’s only mostly true and more importantly not what this is about. Yes Gnome and Mutter don’t support server side decorations. But Electron on Linux uses GTK to construct the application window. And GTK offers client side system styled window decorations. Meaning that electron applications aleady supported decorations that look and feel like server side decorations even if they are not.

Electron already had some support for client-side decorations, provided by a class called ClientFrameViewLinux which uses GTK to paint convincing native window frames. These look very similar to the ones GNOME used to supply on X11, but they are produced entirely in-framework.

No, the problem is with custom styled window decorations. Developers who wanted to do CSDs couldn’t without major downsides. And that was also true on KDE Plasma, as evidenced by this screenshot from the article you evidently didn’t read

See how the window for VS Code doesn’t throw a shadow compared to Dolphin? That’s because electron didn’t support CSDs properly. And now that it does the window looks like this:

That’s what we are talking about.

Yes and no. “Not available” in this context means “you have to import it yourself” (paying tariffs etc.)

There is as far as I can tell no reason for it to not work with an American SIM card.

Will the Jolla Phone work outside Europe, can I use it e.g. in the U.S.?

Yes, we have designed the cellular band configuration to enable global traveling as much as possible, including e.g. roaming in the U.S. carrier networks.

For new users the local feed is the recommendation algorithm. If you are on a instance that caters to your interests you will discover stuff that interests you there automatically. If you’re not, then you might conclude, that Lemmy has nothing for you and bounce off the platform entirely. This is especially true if you are looking for non-English content.

The paradoxical situation with federation and instances is that those least likely to understand it are among the more likely to profit from it if they did.
