My wifi and audio did not work.

mwalimu, in Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)?
@mwalimu@baraza.africa avatar

If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get? Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)? What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible?

Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)?

Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics?

I am trying to be as green as possible. Having a blog on one server and the comments on another sounds like an inefficient way of using resources. Why not just put the articles where the comments are?

With Mastodon I had the same idea, that I will publish an article, post a link with short description on Mastodon and then use the Mastodon post as the comment section, then edit the blog article and put the link to Mastodon on the end of the article with a simple text link like “Comment section”.

But even this idea felt a bit odd and more unprofessional.

Lemmy looks like a really good solution to this atm.

Rocket League on steam proton. It was choppy on Mint. Ubuntu wasn’t bad, but when I alt tabbed everything slowed down.

steam deck was a fucker to set up with some github alternative.

Lastly my hdmi to 5.1 reciever kept showing as an extra monitor, which couldnt be mirrored or disabled. That was enough to call it for me.

red, in Can I use Google Play without a Sim card?

Yes (most Android tablets are used like this too). But if I was you I’d consider the Kobo Clara 2E or Kobo Libra 2 ereader instead.

oktoberpaard, in What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?

I’m using Kagi, which aggregates search results from several search engines (including their own), but without the ads, with less crap and with features like searching for literal strings and promoting/demoting certain websites. It’s a paid service, though, but I like it enough that I’m ok with that.

WastedJobe, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

This entire thread looks like everyone who stopped using Linux over 2 or 3 years ago should have another look at it, so many (now) none-issues.

Especially with the shit windows 11 has pulled.

In some cases, vulkan driver comparability gives games on Linux a performance boost. Valve steam deck is improving compatibility as well

Not even 2-3. They sound like they haven’t used Linux in the last decade.

I tried it just last month for a whole week before I ditched it back for Windows. Its just not ready for serious gamers. I am very anti microsoft so when it is ready, I will happily make the switch.

magic_lobster_party, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Reddit is dead to me. Only time I go there is if a Google search leads me there, which is not that often.

RagingNerdoholic, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that’s pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I’ll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit … we’ll see how long that lasts.

DOPdan, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

I’m definitely a Linux novice, tried it on and off over the last decade and currently dual boot Mint on my laptop. I love Mint, it’s been the easiest version of Linux by far.

Now the bad, DaVinci Resolve Studio just does not play nice. I know this is more of a Resolve problem, but still, it doesn’t connect to my NAS efficiently. As an editor, this is a deal breaker. I hope it gets fixed in the future.

Second, it won’t even see my Bluetooth keyboard, once again, probably something to do with the hardware, but it works on everything else, even Android. I also have weird issues with my wireless Xbox controller in that the trigger buttons don’t register in games. Still trying to troubleshoot that.

I still try to use Mint as often as I can, but there always something that keeps me from switching fully.

@agelord

My main problem is that I have "legacy" games that don't work on Linux as well as Linux ports and native Linux builds being worse than their Linux counterpart.

has come a long way and I'm curious and excited to see where it goes, but ease of use simply doesn't have parity. I want one click installs with identical performance.

The bigger issue with the in general is that no distro actually thinks about it as a product. 1/2

@agelord

As in, where things are, why they are there and how it works as a holistic thing, isn't being talked about.

Redesigns are graphic or graphic subsystems.

But nobody touches aspects of which settings make sense to put where, taking the education level of the user into account.

And there is no at least semi centralized group that organize that some setups actually work and are well explained. E.g. Sound, If you run into an issue there, good luck finding a support contact or manual.

SeeJayEmm, in Suggestions for activism campaigns on Lemmy and kbin?
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

Do you really need 2 separate communities? Seems like that would just split your fledgling user base.

jdp23,
@jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, the current thinking is just to have the one magazine for now unless people have good reasons why that won’t work. Of course a lot depends on whether there are any active bugs federating between the two systems but I think right now things are copacetic.

SeeJayEmm,
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

Ok. I was going to suggest subscribing to the kbin mag on a couple Lemmy instances to get it into All.

copacetic

New word for me (looked it up). Is that regional at all (like a US thing)?

jdp23,
@jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It used to be a slang term people trying to sound hip would use, but that was many decades ago – 1930s or 1950s I think.

resurrexia,

No, it's just not a commonly used word.

maegul,
@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

Hmmm. Not so sure.

Merrion-Webster online:

Theories about the origin of copacetic abound, but the facts about the word’s history are scant: it appears to have arisen in African-American slang in the southern U.S., possibly as early as the 1880s, with earliest known evidence of it in print dating only to 1919.

Dictionary.com

An Americanism first recorded in 1915–20; of obscure origin;

Wiktionary

Stephen Goranson says "there is good reason to think that Irving Bacheller invented the word [with spelling “copasetic”] for a fictional character with a private vocabulary in his best-selling and later-serialized 1919 book about Abraham Lincoln in Illinois, A Man for the Ages, and its currency increased by use in the 1920 song “At the New Jump Steady Ball”.[1] Alternatively, it has been speculated that it may have originated among African Americans in the Southern US in the late 19th or early 20th century, perhaps specifically in the jargon of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, who certainly helped popularize it in any case.

Also, hashtags in kbin posts are recognised by mastodon/mblogs? At the moment, they’re not from lemmy (don’t know why). So posting out from kbin might also help in getting traction with the mastodon/mblog crowd.

One problem lemmy/kbin have at the moment for activism, is that smaller communities can get drowned out in the feed. You can of course sort by “New”, or “Hot” but might miss things, unless you’re actively checking the specific community. Same problem with mblogs too I guess.

Something interesting in the works in this regard is a Lemmy pull request to add “Best” as a feed sorting option, which ranks posts relative to their communities, and therefore should make communities equal on your feed. (See Pull Request). It isn’t finished yet but might not be far away.

jdp23,
@jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Not sure about the hashtags, good question. There will also be separate posts on Mastodon – here’s an early example, guaging awareness – and it’ll be interesting to see what gets traction where

Vidar, in What is the best anonymous image hosting site?

Been using this German site called Abload

Anonymous upload but needs an user account for deletion feature. Direct links are available and allowed.

frizzle,

Good find!

Wow, that is a classic looking site. It looks really close to what I am looking for.

Section 3-4 of the Terms of Use seems a little strict, but shouldn’t be a problem for me since I don’t upload memes and copyright content.

The 20 megabyte file limit is very generous!

Vidar,

That’s true, they’re strict but I guess that’s because of the German law they’re having to obey. They’ve been around for ages and I respect them for switching to donation based back in 2012 and being kept alive by the community ever since.

ClaretNBlue, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

American History X, Pulp Fiction, Heat… I could go on and on

Lowlands, in What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?

Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.

ivenoidea,
@ivenoidea@lemmy.world avatar

I second Memmy. I’ve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.

foofiepie,

I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.

fraydabson,

Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.

DooDeeDoo,

Memmy is very polished! I’m astonished how well they’ve designed the app. It’s very familiar to anyone who has used apollo but, dare i say it, better!

DigToTheDug,

I’m currently using Memmy and it’s nice to navigate. Unfortunately, it crashes fairly often for me.

Lemmylaugh,

It’s on the AppStore too now. Go go go!

SocialEngineer56,

Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!

TekAzurik,

Agree!

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

for android users theres wefwef/voyager
