  • I tried to use LibreWolf yesterday. The Flatpak version wasn’t supported by KeePassXC, so that was a pass for me. The Fedora version did work with it, but it was also freezing my system and causing graphical glitches that were so terrible, I thought my hardware died. There were coloured blocks as well as weird pixelated warping. It’s probably because I have Wayland, and I noticed that the Fedora version ran under X. I would have submitted a bug report, but I didn’t even know where to start. Maybe I’ll do that eventually.

    E: I have narrowed this down with journalctl to be an issue with amdgpu. This happenes on Firefox as well, but not other applications somehow. It’s something to do with a gfxhub page fault. I’ll have to see whether an older kernel version might help.




  • Welcome to the lovely world of the Fediverse! Mastodon and Lemmy, among many other kinds of software, both run on ActivityPub. This means that even if the servers aren’t both running Lemmy or Mastodon, they still speak the same language and can therefore understand the content of each other’s posts (think of it as email, gmail.com can still send and receive mail to outlook.com). Other examples of AcitvityPub software are Misskey, Mbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, Piefed, PeerTube and many others that I haven’t learned about yet. While they theoretically can all fetch and present posts from each other, due to the choices that each developer makes while designing their software, it might not be very possible to get every post from every software. For example, Mastodon is all about following people, and Lemmy about following communities. Even though Mastodon is able to follow Lemmy communities, Lemmy has (as of writing) no function to follow people (yet).
