yes I think you can since gimp 3.0

Nice to see Incus doing well after canonical’s forced overtaking of the original project lxd.

if you put the same NVME to one of the other slots does it still give this issue?

There is also bluefin lts (from the same ppl) if someone wants a more actively supported bootc system.

you should also post it as an issue on the peertube repo: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

It would be really awesome if they gave up AOSP governance to a foundation under the linux foundation but I doubt they would. They recently made Android development completely private.

Impressive work, thanks!

I wonder whats the catch. I have a hard time accepting some company would provide such a service for free no limits (unless its a non-profit run through donations or similar).

I think x86 is basically the only platform that’s used ACPI

ARM and x86. From wikipedia:

Revision 5.0 of the ACPI specification was released in December 2011,[15] which added the ARM architecture support.

ETA: Sorry I was wrong. ACPI doesnt solve this*. Arm SystemReady SR/ES does and its why Ampere cpus can boot on linux on release without too much work.

Sadly its currently only used for iot/server stuff but hopefully it will eventually make its way to consumer tech. We need to raise awareness on this and pressure companies to commit to this standard.

*From what I read, WoA has full ACPI support but qcoms ACPI apis only work on Windows. [1 (ms link)][2]

Yeah its really unfortunate that most arm chips/devices use DTs instead of conforming to ACPI. However with ARM becoming more prominent on servers (and desktops), Im hoping this changes. There is now a push for ACPI on Arm since thats what companies running Arm on servers want. Ampere server cpus eg have ACPI support and arm now has docs on ACPI. I hope qualcomm is also forced to support ACPI. I think they will have to do it if they want to see their cpus being used in data centers and the like.

I think piefeds combined view makes this less of an issue. Like people subscribe to/post in the big communities because they are more active so get more comments and stuff. But in piefed you get the combined discussion from all the communities so you get the same experience even if you are subscribed to a less popular community on that topic.

I dont think its the software* but the instance that matters. Everyone being on lw is not good (not that there is anything wrong with lw, just that centralization is bad). Thankfully most lemmy apps nowadays default to lemm.ee which should hopefully counter most of the centralization. Lemmy apps should rotate the default server when it gets too big which will help a lot (also shows the impact defaults have).

*Software would have mattered if the main devs instance was also the biggest. Or a very popular lemmy client defaulted to their own instance. With lemmy thats not the case.

Subreddits were not a problem before since they were accessible on the web without needing an account. But now reddit is gradually locking them down behind authwalls and things like not letting search engines index (other than Google).

Lemmy communities dont have this problem and because lemmy is federated, its resistant to such enshittification (plus you can easily create your own lemmy instance for only your team). So imo they are a good alternative to forums (and reddit) and a good solution to this problem.

Discourse already exists (and most big companies use that).

Also you can see many other things on Reddit or Discord too (or the internet). Im not sure how that is a point against federation. If companies really want to control everything they can create their own instance (like KDE’s lemmy instance).

They can defederate everyone from their instance to get an “unfederated” instance but again it changes nothing imo.

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance. Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Enabling this feature will probably require you to agree to Google AI training on your emails.

Element is an app for “Matrix” (thats like lemmy but for discord) that is developed by a for-profit company (the company mostly manages deployments for big governments). But not only is it open source, its just one client of many for matrix. The vast majority are developed by individuals (Cinny, FluffyChat).

Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord.

There are probably discord features missing from matrix but they certainly have a lot of similarities. Though tbf Cinny is the closest to discord in terms of design and functionality not element (but they both are matrix clients).

So this post has (at the time of writing this post):

• 0 favorites on mastodon
• 101 upvotes on lemmy (2 downvotes)
• 9 replies on mastodon (7 lemmy instances, 2 mastodon)
• 8 replies on lemmy (7 lemmy, 1 mastodon)

From this I would say it looks like lemmy upvotes dont federate at all with mastodon. Replies seem to federate but for some reason 1 reply from mastodon is missing on lemmy.

Havent tried it but it seems like you can make it work: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?iId=17&sClass=application

I dont think Photoshop and Roblox work on Linux at all (Roblox does through Sober right now but probably not for long). Buying another computer will not change that (and iirc mac os also supports dual boot).

However if you buy/build a good enough pc, you can run windows in a vm and use roblox/ps without dual booting.

If you dont strictly need a laptop, then yes I would recommend you build your own desktop pc. But if you do, AFAIK xps and thinkpad line of laptops have pretty good quality. The higher end surface laptops are also good (but very expensive). I cant really recommend much else without knowing what features you expect.

Yeah now I agree with you. I didnt understand the full impact the first time around.

(thanks for taking your time to actually explain it to all)
