I’ve been quiet please with Neo Launcher

A build hasn’t been released on GitHub for awhile, but there is an active branch and a more recent build on the telegram/matrix chat. The 0.9.3 version has worked well enough for me.

I haven’t used the features but in the Drawer section of the settings, there is “Categorise Apps” and “Second tab for Work apps”.

I do wish that Nova was open source, that’s basically the only reason I switched.

Plasma Bigscreen just got some love. Maybe more eyes on the project will help get the ball rolling.

They should make the game where, after the opening credits, it just says “There, we did it. Fuck off” and then rolls end credits.

In this byelection, it’s not just marking an x. Voters must hand write the name of their preferred candidate in a blank space.

“Their vote will be counted, even if they misspell the candidate’s name,” said agency spokesperson Matthew McKenna.

It would be incredible if there was a candidate with a name spelt similar to Pierre Poilievre.

I know this isn’t quite what you’re asking for but I have heard of GenuTax for awhile, which is completely free and local

They have an OS survey to help prioritise development, it might be worth sending them some feedback to push for Linux compatibility.

I do like the idea of leaving the curation of content in the hands of the user.

I think the mentality should be more common, and the tools should make it easy, to filter out content the same way it’s easy and common to follow a community/topic that adds to your feed.

Almost all social platforms have a method at the forefront to “see more content like this” but a lot don’t have “see less of this”, and if they do, it’s a buried setting.

It’d be really interesting for mods and admins to get a list of users’ exclude list, either of post keywords or user blocks, to see trends and stats on the content that people don’t want to see.

Sublinks

Thank you! I have been trying to remember the name of “that other” link aggregator since I first heard about it two years ago.

I kept thinking about it and getting it confused with Substacks.

Yeah, this thing has comparable specs to my desktop computer with the price to match. When comparing to the PinePhone, this has 10x the RAM and 16x the storage.

In a time when so much stuff is unaffordable, maybe building an incredibly beefy phone as a startup doesn’t seem like the best idea.

We’ve got to install Microsoft Defender, Edge, and PowerShell on Ububtu so that the device will be flagged as compliant in Intune.

WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!

… Where the fuck is Hollywood then?

Those effects are key to the design of these boats. They’re essentially a wing.

Water has a lot more drag than air, so the more the boat is out of the water, the faster it can go.

The crazy part is he’s held the area since 2004.

This is great for the cat-and-mouse situation.

I know a lot of people use Plex because of the number of apps on various platforms. The renewed life in these apps will be at least one less reason for people holding off on Jellyfin.

Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.

I love trying to search for something like “node.js” but can’t because it thinks it’s a website…

I think I know where in the code this could be happening for the web UI.

I’m not one of the devs but I’ll look into this a bit, I’ll update this comment when I get more info.

Starting from 1 year being 365 days

1 month would be the equivalent of 3.65 days
1 day would be 52.5 minutes
1 hour would be 31.5 seconds
1 minute would be 0.3 seconds
1 second would be 3 milliseconds
1 millisecond would be 3 nanoseconds

This?

In hindsight, I wrote that line after seeing some code on Github that I thought was for ActivityPub, but when I went back to it later I realised it was for Mastodon.

It’s a bit confusing because each action on the Fediverse uses the same universal language, but each service translates that language into their own specific rolls for their service.

Lemmy upvotes use “Like” which is common language in ActivityPub but down votes use “Dislike” which is not used in the ActivityPub language. It’s up to the other services how they interpret that. Mastodon favourites use “Like” but it has nothing for “Dislike”. Mastodon boost uses “Announce” which is what Lemmy uses for posts and comments to a community.

From the Lemmy ActivityPub documentation

An upvote for a post or comment send an ActivityPub Like action

Users can send posts or comments to a community which the community forwards to its followers in the form of Announce.

From the Mastodon ActivityPub Documentation

ActivityPub Likes are transformed into a Favourite.

ActivityPub Announce are transformed into a boost on a status
