  • In that case we could all just use email.

  • That doesn't explain why they don't start a transition by posting to both the new platform and the old. And not including links to their new account on their websites.

  • There are free alternatives that they provide links to.

  • I just wanted to define the middle mouse button to insert clipboards content - but then I mentioned that #KDE already did that for me! 😀

  • Paste from clipboard is different than paste from primary selection

  • Does KDE not have the middle mouse button paste from the primary selection? I thought the clipboard is distinct from primary selection.

  • the [@] kde [@] [domain name] parts at the bottom of the post body tells a Mastodon server to notify the Lemmy services about the post and Lemmy shows that post as part of the community so subscribers and people browsing all will have the post in their front page feed depending on their sort settings.

  • Mozilla grants Ente $100k

    Jump

  • Ente is a beautiful, private cloud for your memories, with apps for mobile, desktop and web.

    At Ente, we use Local AI to deliver features like face recognition and magic search, while respecting the privacy of your photos.

    We'll now join a cohort of builders pushing technology forward for an AI that is light, private and accessible.

  • Or complete clients, doesn't even need to be great but incorporating all features would be nice.

  • There seems to be mixed reactions to this suggestion. I don't know enough to understand why.

  • Nice article.

    why bother? Why I self host

    Most of this article is not purely about that question, but I dislike clickbait, so I’ll actually answer the question from the title: Two reasons.

    First of all, I like to be independent - or at least, as much as I can. Same reason we have backup power, why I know how to bake bread, preserve food, and generally LARP as a grandmother desperate to feed her 12 grandchildren until they are no longer capable of self propelled movement. It makes me reasonably independent of whatever evil scheme your local $MEGA_CORP is up to these days (hint: it’s probably a subscription).

    It’s basically the Linux and Firefox argument - competition is good, and freedom is too.

    If that’s too abstract for you, and what this article is really about, is the fact that it teaches you a lot and that is a truth I hold to be self-evident: Learning things is good & useful.

    Turns out, forcing yourself to either do something you don’t do every day, or to get better at something you do occasionally, or to simply learn something that sounds fun makes you better at it. Wild concept, I know.

    Conclusion

  • One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"

    Jump

  • He made up hypothetical scenarios that nobody asked about, and then denigrated Rust by attacking the scenarios he came up with.

    This seems to be the textbook description of a strawman argument.

  • One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"

    Jump

  • It's also a microkernel and intentional not POSIX compliant (but it's close to compliant). I like the project, but it's very experimental on purpose, so we should set our expectations accordingly. I'd love to see it become a success, but it may not be or it may only be successful in a smaller niche than the current Linux ecosystem.

    That said, it seems very open to new contributors. I hope more people can help it along.
