  • What keeps you optimistic that communism will win and that we won't decent into barbarism or nuclear holocaust?

    Jump

  • There is a historic trend of lessening class antagonisms. And there have been more communist countries after major crises. If America well and truly collapses I think it will switch to some form of socialism.

  • What projects does the opensource world lack

  • people don’t want to make accounts on each server, so until we have proper federation

    I've shit on matrix a lot but this is something it does well.

  • These Ukrainian "supporters" were always closet fascists. They don't want to end the killing, they want to prolong the war for some bullshit political purpose. It's crazy to me that people can be so heartless, and even crazier is that nobody really recognizes what they mean: it's not a poster advocating helping Ukrainian refugees or humanitarian aid or something, but the wording is in favor of the state itself.

  • Switching hosts is not super easy when it comes to VPS

    It's pretty damn easy if you have everything set up decoratively. With NixOS for example all you would have to do is run one command to install everything you need (mediawiki, an sql server, nginx etc and their configurations), and you will have the same setup within a half hour. The most difficult part would be to copy over your state (data) but literally using scp and then manually fixing the permissions has always worked for me. PM me if you guys need help with NixOS if you go that route.

    Or idk, go for some kind of containerized setup, but then you'd still have to setup the host, and the container isn't reproducible, it can go out of date, idk I'm less of a fan.

  • Matrix Foundation and Element proudly declaring their association with NATO

  • I've never heard of session, but someone needs to do a comparison between Session, Briar, SimpleX, Delta Chat, and any others as a matrix replacement. There's also retroshare. There's too much shit tbh

  • I have the same feeling about it. And I even told one of my normie friends this theory and he said it's definitely possible.

  • Can you send large-ish (~5Gb) files over Delta Chat? That was one of my favorite things about self hosting matrix was to be able to dump raw clips from my phone into a chat.

  • First of all if it's open source and secure it doesn't matter who made it. The instruments of capital will bring about it's own destruction and all that.

    My problem with Matrix/Element is that it's shit. My online friends put up with it because they're privacy nerds but my IRL friend group all said that it's shit. They've mostly moved to WhatsApp and I can't blame them, because it works. Heck even some of those privacy nerds prefer to use the IRC that's bridged to our matrix chat.

    With Element, notifications hardly work, sending files doesn't consistently work, calls are definitely not reliable. And they do not bother to make a stable bug-free version, instead they focus on adding even more features for the next release. There's an issue from 2016 that's one of the most liked and requested features: multiple accounts. They closed the issue, and opened another one they can ignore. By now Element should be a stable piece of software and it's slow and horrible. And I say this as someone who hosts two separate matrix homeservers.

  • Fascist salute and symbology discourse is tiring

    Jump

  • Because liberals only under fascism through its aesthetics.

    Sure, valid point. But the aesthetics have arrived. There's no more excuses. And still they won't lift a finger to organize. So what will America's response be? I bet it will be business as usual.

  • German uranium imports from Russia rise by almost 70 percent

    Jump

  • Wait why the hell are they buying uranium when they don't use their reactors? And why would Russia sell it knowing this? Wat

  • What can I do in other Linux distros that I can't do in Linux Mint Xfce?

    Jump

  • With NixOS you can upgrade your entire OS and if you don't like it roll it back like nothing ever happened. You can also replicate your entire machine by copying your configs over to another computer, running the install, and then copying over any files you have in your home folder and you will have reproduced your desktop.

    You can also very easily use a different version of a packaged app by adding an override in your config. This is useful if you want bleeding-edge features or if something is broken. Also every package is also a development environment, so you don't have to worry about setting up a dev environment to hack on stuff.

  • About the defederation with jlai.lu

    Jump

  • as if jlai.lu users weren’t agressive in this discussion as well

    I just posted a story on a lefty imageboard about some guy swiping my friend on the sidewalk and when my very weakly tapped him back in the face he made a scene like he was assaulted. Liberals are dangerous hyper-individualistic villains. I actually consider them a direct enemy of today's left, and not some neutral third party. These french users sound the same.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I love my Xmonad. I haven't customized it except for one thing for fullscreen windows. I have no widgets or toolbars or desktop icons or anything besides dmenu as a launcher and xterm for everything else. And I love it. However I have some subtle graphics issues like screen tearing when watching certain 4k content, hidpi scaling issues that I could never resolve for all applications and sometimes my GPU doesn't like my TV (which is my main monitor). These are likely the fault of nouveau, but I wonder if Wayland will fix them.

    I really wish XMonad would support Wayland. I don't need it to, but gnome on wayland was just really really smooth. Maybe I can set up another window manager with the exact same key bindings on wayland, since like I said I don't customize it at all.
