Why stop at Windows? There is so much other Microsoft crap to ditch.

Domino’s tries to keep their ingredients fairly similar globally, but Pizza Hut tries much more agressively to adapt to local tastes in certain markets—like Thailand. I don’t know who they poll, but thousand island sauce with imitation crabs is not where it is at, & the frozen dough sucks. At least Domino’s uses corn meal + a shit ton of garlic to mask being lower quality. That said, I had Pizza Hut in Hanoi on Christmas a few years ago & it was honestly was one of the best pizzas I had ever had—from the crust, to zesty sauce, to the right amount of burn on the cheese. So… 🤷

It’s been broken on Fx Android for the last few weeks. I mostly use it to cross-reference information lacking on OpenStreetMap (or if I need to see photos). It sucks since locally, the only maps businesses bother with is Google.

Happy I switched to NixOS to solve this issue for myself

Or XMPP or IRC or Mumble …all of which have clients that will consume less resources on your machine

That is a different story & a usability pain I can share 😅 …but assuming there wasn’t a GC, the build is cached, just needs another switch—& I am willing to take that as opposed to having the whole process running as root.

It’ll call sudo at the point it needs to at the end regardless of remote or not. There have been a couple of bugs in the past trying to run the whole process under sudo & --use-remote-sudo was always recommended as a fix.

I mean we already had the universal protocol last decade in an extensible markup language, but the next generation decided we needed to rewrite everything in a JSON schema that isn’t as easy to extend as XMPP. It’s federated/decentralized, has many chat clients, some social media + community managing platforms (Movim & Libervia), used for video conferencing (Jitsi & Zoom), negotiation matchmaking for games (most of them), displaying friend roster status updates (Nintendo, & many other systems). This would have (& can still be) the dream instead of needing to reinvent everything.

OAuth or SSO is not the same as communicating over the same protocol. You can also log in with Google, Facebook, Apple, GitLab, Microsoft GitHub, & others on different platforms as SSO options… clearly these are not the Fediverse.

Being federated isn’t the same as living in the same Fediverse. You can upvote a Lemmy post from Mastodon since they both use ActivityPub but you can’t do that with a Matrix account. There are a couple of different ActivityPub-like generalized protocols out there, but none of them are near the size of ActivityPub & Lemmy is ActivityPub so for all intents & purposes for this conversation the Fediverse here (& most places) is ActivityPub. Matrix is on an entirely different federated network & they aren’t related.

You should at least consider nixos-rebuild --use-remote-sudo switch over raw-dogging sudo.

#!/usr/bin/env dash

set -e

cd $HOME/nixcfg

# flake inputs to update
for input in nixpkgs nixos-hardware home-manager hosts; do
	nix --extra-experimental-features flakes --no-warn-dirty flake update $input
done

# rebuild NixOS
nixos-rebuild --use-remote-sudo switch --keep-going --fallback --flake $HOME/nixcfg#$(hostname)

# check for firmware upgrades
fwupdmgr get-updates

# print hard drive status info
sudo smartctl -H /dev/nvme0n1
sudo zpool status -v -x

Just please get us proper color management. Creators need accuracy & HDR is still a mess.

You can use its underlying ejabberd, Prosody, or other server for chat. Most modern clients offer OMEMO, OTR, PGP for client-side encryption (end-to-end implies the servers don’t/can’t do anything here)

Partial support is sadly pretty useless at present. Developers target ‘latest’ big engines, so unless you are up to yesterday’s spec, there is a good chance their JavaScript will give you nothing but errors.

The forks are good. Looks like someone new wants to maintain w3m which includes features I have been waiting for.

To say it was written in Rust & make it someone’s portfolio piece so they can use a Microsoft GitHub link on their Microsoft LinkedIn profile.

They don’t package LTS kernels which is pretty concerning—especially if using out-of-kernel modules that don’t always get released in lock step that could leave you with a machine that won’t boot.

Matrix isn’t ActivityPub ∴ not a part of the fediverse
