Just legality. These are paid books that they can’t give away for free, but acting as a library they can let you borrow them, read them, and “return” them.

In practice you’ll rarely feel this system because you can just re-borrow it whenever you want to read it.

simple,

Open Library allows you to digitally borrow a ton of books for free. It’s not the greatest experience since the books they own are scanned and not digital copies, but it’s good enough, and their catalogue is not half bad.

simple,

but the Fediverse as a whole.

FWIW video playback on Mastodon has been seamless for me.

Mastodon’s main dev isn’t really open. Have a look at the “Ego” part of this article

That article was over 5 years ago now. I would expect that there has been massive change now that Mastodon is way more popular, and the project is way more involved. Also, blocks and mutes do work now.

simple,

It would be rad for me too. I don’t wish harm to Americans of course, but I think it’s about time they start throwing hands instead of whining on the internet 24/7 about how much they hate eachother.

Discord. The user experience there is just better than all the competition regardless if you like FOSS alternatives more. It’s clean, it’s fast, it’s feature rich and works well.

but before the enshittification of discord mobile

Never understood this. The new app is a big improvement and you can now easily swap between servers, notifications, and DMs in the bottom row rather than having to scroll all the way up in your server list.

simple,

Also shoutout to Monster Sanctuary. It’s quite different but still a great monster taming game.

simple,

Release the hounds. Leave no witnesses.

simple,

Unfortunately this project seems like it got abandoned, the last news post was 4 years ago.

simple,

I can do all sorts of condiments, but ketchup is just eugh. Just give me sweet chili and we’re good.

In-progress COSMIC apps: terminal, file manager, text editor, and settings (fosstodon.org)

COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux....

simple,

Between this and KDE 6, it’s going to be a great year for the Linux desktop experience.

Link isn’t working on my end

An error occurred during a connection to pointieststick.com. The OCSP response does not include a status for the certificate being verified.

simple,

This is just speculation based off of a rumor that was never confirmed.

simple,

AI-generated spam. They fill the website with (potentially malicious) ads and try to profit off people that accidentally click the link thinking it’s a real website. It’s the main reason search engines have been terrible to use lately.

simple,

Wow, that’s a huge difference. I wonder if it’s just a niche case that fixes Terraria specifically, it would be nice to see more benchmarks on other games.

simple,

I’ve been following Cosmic and really looking forward to it. I love the idea of a Gnome-like desktop without Gnome-like design decisions.

simple,

Love the extension, but it’s a shame not all the alternate front-ends work. The Reddit ones stopped working a while ago, the fandom one is unreliable, lots of other ones are just a tad too slow.

simple,

Grant us eyes. Grant us eyes.

simple,

This sucks. Tachiyomi was by far the best app for reading comics, none of the paid options come even close in terms of options or ease of use.

Oh boy here we go again

Distrochooser is not a good resource for newbies IMO. There are too many questions, many of which are misleading or hard to understand (NOBODY taking this knows what systemd is)

Many answers are misleasing: “I want a distro that is supported by game publishers” for example implies each distro has its own game compatibility, this is NOT the case.

And when you’re finally done it recommends too many distros, many of which are irrelevant, niche, or flat out not recommended anymore (PCLinuxOS?!?!)

When someone asks for a distro, please just run a random number generator to choose between ZorinOS, PopOS, or Linux Mint. If someone is only gaming, maybe include Nobara too.

simple,

I’m using firefox and it’s always worked for me. Try clearing your cache.

Finally, Nausicaa of the valley of the water

simple,

Block the bots making those posts, there are only around 3 or so that keep spamming. Your feed will feel a lot better after.
