conversely, feddit.uk is a LEMMY instance. They run a custom UI frontend and backend both currently based off of version 0.19.17 (UI: 0.19.17-2-g4f0da5f5 & BE: 0.19.17-feddit).

For anyone curious, the modifications aren’t that significant. The two UI changes are adding an explicit referrerPolicy to iframes and detecting avif files as images. Backend has more changes like blocking NSFW stuff, enabling image proxying for lemmings.world and some user agent stuff.

Firefox is now exclusive to ternary computers.

GNOME isn’t actually based on GTK, the shell has its own widget framework called the Shell Toolkit: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gnome-shell/st/index.html

Most people downvoting almost certainly only read the title. I do agree with what’s being said, I just don’t like the style, but that’s just a taste thing. The title is bad though, it’s not relevant to the article and is factually wrong, unless I’ve missed an announcement of Valve have given Flatpak/Flathub guys money.

I don’t think I’ve ever read an opinion I agree with expressed this disagreeably before. The title is also weird given Valve doesn’t officially support the Steam flatpak and AFAIK hasn’t given any money to the flatpak devs.

Left is Yukari from Girls und Panzer.

Right is actress Małgorzata Niemirska in an old Polish TV series called Four Tank-Men and a Dog.

Yeah, the whole race bioessentialism, especially the concept of evil races, that is so endemic to D&D and fantasy as a whole.

Getting into Esoteric Ebb. Enjoying it so far, though I do dislike some aspects of it (the combat fucking sucks and the D&D racism is tiring).

This is the thumbnail generation functionality, that would create a local thumbnail for all image posts and keep them around forever. You can disable this by setting image_mode to None in lemmy.hjson and you’ll only store what users actively upload.

Sinamäe (the person quoted in the article) and Justin Keenan (who’s listed in the credits of DE as an editor, but apparently did a lot of writing) are still at ZA/UM as writers.

I actually remembered that when writing this! (though I couldn’t remember what it was called) It’s definitely cool, but more in the “Doom running on a pregnancy test” way.

Minecraft and Minetest (now Luanti) let you host your own server, so you wouldn’t really gain anything from federation. Honestly, I’m not sure what benefits ActivityPub would have for games, except maybe Newgrounds-style sites.

From what I understand, River aims to separate the compositor programme from the window management programme, sort of like how things worked in X11. River’s author gave a good introduction to it here.

You were instance banned under lemmy.ml’s rule 4, not the privacy community’s rule 4. ml’s rule 4 is “No Ads / Spamming”. This seems to have been prompted by you reposting a removed post, which frankly seems fair despite what I think of ml’s moderation normally.

Rule 4 does seem to be a bad reason to remove the original post, though I think it should’ve been removed simply for how cringe ‘cuckloading’ is as a term. Stop trying to link sexual deviancy to moral deficiency.

One problem with the whole C2S thing is you can easily end up in the Matrix/XMPP situation where some clients and servers implement some smattering of standards and it just becomes confusing to navigate and use.

This is approximately the situation in the fediverse today, with Mastodon in the role of Gmail. The difference is that email has IMAP and SMTP, client protocols that are not only standardized but universally adopted. Every email server implements them and every email client expects them.

Follow the instructions here to install qmk and the stuff it needs. Then go to Keychron’s website (scroll to the ‘Download Firmware and JSON Files’ section) and find your keyboard. You should then have a .bin file. Make sure it’s the right firmware for your model, Keychron have too many models with similar names and installing the wrong firmware will make the keyboard inoperable (not bricked, as it can still be recovered by installing the right firmware).

You can install this to your keyboard by putting it in DFU mode (remove the space bar and press the small exposed button while plugging the keyboard in) and run the command:

qmk -b <path to firmware file>

Still, a reminder for people to use anonymous payment methods if they’re in the authorities scope like this.

I’ve seen other people on Mastodon/Bluesky mention that the site takes an ‘anti-censorship’ approach to moderation, so there’s a bunch of far right people doing Nazi stuff on there.

Some clients do it automatically, but this should work: https://lemmyverse.link/startrek.website/post/35769143

Who’s Amadioh Chess? I’ve not come across them.
