Says who/what?

This reminds me of Meetup.com dying almost everywhere except Chicago where the HQ is and everyone uses it.

And the spec says plaintext usernames should be rendered as links?

You can’t get support from lemmy.linuxuserspace.show or any other website if there’s a bug in your web browser. You can’t get support from gmail or protonmail or any other mail provider if there’s a bug in your email client. It’s awful how much people have come to assume that clients and servers must and always come from the same provider.

Have you considered a network file sharing system other than SMB?

please dont use chsh

doesnt mean your whole OS needs a different shell

chsh just changes the shell when you log in to a shell. all the other shells are still available and usable. any script starting tieh #!/bin/bash will still run with bash, even if you’re using zsh or fish.

Why don’t they count? The systemd interface has been stable for a decade.

There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can’t be done programmatically :(

This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized --help output. Maybe there’s some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?

I think https://apps.kde.org/smb4k/ can do this?

• gnome/gtk: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/systemd-manager
• kde/qt: https://invent.kde.org/system/systemdgenie
• browser based: https://cockpit-project.org/
• curses: https://github.com/ana-cc/chkservice

That name is decades old. XDG stands for “Cross Desktop Group”.

A “pure” X environment (e.g. startx xterm) also doesn’t define those variables, but many desktop environments do, just like many shell configurations do.

Thanks, I hadn’t heard of that. Time to add a few hundred lines to my dotfiles :)

What makes you think XDG doesn’t apply to non GUI apps?

Article author seems to have completely fabricated the “10 more”. There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.

You’d see posts in a community/group/etc based on your trust of the community, unless you’ve explicitly de-trusted the poster or you trust someone who de-trusts them (and you haven’t broken that chain).

As a long time Pandora user… I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.

2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?

For the simplest users, my initial idea is just a binary “do you trust them?” for each person (aka “friends”) and non-person (aka “follow”), and maybe one global binary of “do you trust who they trust?” that defaults to yes. anything more complex than that can be optional.

I am sad that the current generation of federated social media/networks still doesn’t have much, if any, implementation of web of trust functionality. I believe that’s the only solution to bots/AI/etc content in the future. Show me content from people/accounts/profiles I trust, and accounts they trust, etc. When I see spam or scams or other misbehavior, show me the trust chain connecting me to it so I can sever it at the appropriate level instead of having to block individual accounts. (e.g. “sorry mom, you’ve trusted too many political frauds, I’m going to stop trusting people you trust”)
