  • Today I ended up on the wrong side of the Google bot algorithm

  • Well done! 💪🚀

    This reminds me: what kind of Youtube replacement or quasi-replacement in the Fediverse? I've heard that Peertube may be difficult to maintain long term, which makes sense...

  • Personally I disagree on value of sex/nude scenes – but it's a subjective matter of course. Your final argument is absolutely fair and logical, and very general too. Extremely well put – I subscribe 110% to it!

  • It seems to me these scenes are introduced in films to sexualize them. Most often than not they don't add anything to the story. But blood & sex get more viewers. So I find the whole thing hypocritical.

    Brings me to mind an episode of the hilarious series "Coupling", where Jeff says that the actress in the film "The Piano" (?) was naked in the whole film. His friends say she wasn't, it was only a scene in the film. And Jeff replies "it depends on how you watch it" 🤣

  • Agree 110%! It's sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time...

  • I've tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it's people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this "part" of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.

  • Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?

  • Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I'll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.

  • Thank you, that's useful info, I didn't know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!

  • The number of people protesting against them in their "Issues" page is amazing. The devs have now blocked the creation of new issue tickets or of comments in existing ones.

    It's funny how in the "explainer" they present this as something done for the "user", when it's clearly not developed for the "user". I wouldn't accept something like this even if it was developed by some government – even less by Google.

    I have just reported their repository to GitHub as malware, as an act of protest, since they closed the possibility of submitting issues or commenting.
