Hail the victorious devs!
From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?
They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak
What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?
Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)
The first comment on the request
For the sake of all of our sanity, I’d really appreciate if FESCo could decide on this one really quickly (e.g. putting out a statement) and avoid what could be a most unpleasant flame-fest on this mailing list.
If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it.
Why? They don’t need more money. Jellyfin proves how much of their service can be done for free
I have access to ~20Gb/s worth of extra bandwidth. Is there any way I can “donate” it to different Peertube instances? Right now I just use it to seed things and run XMR/I2P nodes
You can dual boot it
I saw that MouseKeys for Wayland got merged. Is there any chance we can do more scriptable bindings in the future? I’d love to see things like “hitting 2 jumps to this x,y
pair”, “hitting 9
goes 75px down and 75px left”, etc
Yes, it’s the “original” instance
Have you considered applying for a FUTO grant?
I’ve donated plenty to Lemmy with crypto, and the article you linked addressed none of the reasons I use it (privacy, anyone?). So while it’s cool you’re passionately against crypto, I think Lemmy is getting more out of it than it’s lost
If the Lemmy admins adhered to everyone’s request to “stop doing X and I’ll donate”, they would end up with zero more donations because people will always give another reason for not donating
There are donors from both of their communities
The lemmy.ml instance costs like 30$/month to run. Your donation isn’t going to that; your donation is going to develop Lemmy itself
Lemmy default UI should seriously consider a daily donation goal, similar to old Reddit. Implement a backend API to fetch the daily amount needed and the current amount donated, and stick it on the right hand side by all the trending communities. As a stats nerd, this would seriously motivate me to donate more.
Btw I would recommend leaving a note on the desktop saying something like COMPUTER_SPECS.TXT. I had Linux on my computers in school, and I was thinking “holy crap Linux is slow and old”, but it turned out to be cheap hardware (and I didn’t know better, back then)
LFGGGG
MacOS pisses me off endlessly with a popup that forces you to update (and you have to close your apps to update). Linux was better in that it never asks me to update, but if I ever ran an update I would have to close my browser before opening a new tab. This though… This is amazing!!
