I am fine with “when’s day” as long as we rename the following day as “then’s day” instead of “their’s day”.

Thank you for responding, and for introducing me to Floccus.

After reading the README and watching the videos therein, this feels like a nice piece of software and well thought out. Thank you for developing it. I am going to try it out tomorrow.

In the meantime, what are your thoughts on tackling bookmarks on mobile?

Asking since many bookmark-worthy links are often shared via phone chats, at least in my experience. I would love to manage, or at least put those with the rest of my bookmarks on other machines.

Getting a glimpse of that face is worth the effort required keep the table free of smudges.

Asking the right questions.

I feel like the only true possibility of an alternative is like such a place, a single project that is consistent everywhere and lets people have their entire work, so that it looks centralized, even if it’s not.

I agree. Version control might be the ideal domain to pull this off in, or at least it has the most potential.

For your mentioned use cases, any distribution would do.

In fact, any answer for your question would be anecdotal, and here’s mine: Debian if this isn’t your first rodeo, and Ubuntu Server if it is.

Heck, just play around with Ubuntu Server and then go to Debian.

Moreover, you may ask this question on !selfhosted@lemmy.world for better insights.

That may be a good idea. However, people have had around 25 years of familiarity with all things centralised on the internet and the conveniences associated with it. If anything, we are doubling down on the centralised nature of the internet.

It will take a great amount of time and effort to build a equivalently convenient decentralised alternatives, and to overcome the inertia to migrate to it.

The latter I believe is only possible when something enormously drastic happens. We had a good number of drastic events happen in the last decade (Twitter poisoning, Meta privacy breaches, Reddit shenanigans), but none enough to convince people to move to alternatives.

Another possibility is for regulations and/or governments to support the alternatives, but that may have unintended side effects of its own.

Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.

GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.

One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.

Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty: I had simply not enabled it.

I just pulled the feed for the first time after reading your post, and the content is like you describe. A pity as I liked what I saw on the website.

I may try the workaround and see if it helps.

I used to think of it as bacteria on top of my eyeballs. Then my sibling put in the fear that the bacteria is inside the eyeballs, which made sense since washing my eyes didn’t really remove it. I eventually stopped giving it any thought.

Thank you for resolving it.

I guess you meant Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. But thank you for the book recommendation. I have added it to my reading list.

Thank you. I did read some of the news. Just wanted to know if I missed something.

Unfortunately, I can already see the term “NSFW” being abused to fit whatever narrative the governments.

Moreover, it is setting a dangerous precedent for rest of the world, especially countries already leaning towards fascism.

Out of the loop here. What incident(s) brought about this realisation?

This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?

On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.

I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.

Why?

Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?

I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.

Having read the entire thread, I can only assume this to be sarcasm.

There is nothing dumb-arse about learning new things. It is nice that you discovered Bazzite through your own research.

Enjoy the new OS and let us know your thoughts after your first run.

Hehe… top notch screen.

I agree with everything you said, and I use a MacBook Pro for the same reasons. I made a similar comment but you have articulated the points much better.
