Presumably because that's what lots of people are searching for.

Otoh, Google giving insane suggestions is sort of a meme by itself so who knows what they use?

Need to get something that supports ActivityPub on the list, but other than that looks pretty cool.

I didn't know about minimalgpt. How is it?

Huh! They must've changed it. I recall that if you installed without TPM or SecureBoot, they'd cut off access to those features.

You can install windows 11 without those features in a number of ways, I used rufus to create a boot USB that doesn't check.

I'm running Windows 11 without TPM, so this is a bit of a nonstarter, but for people who like the idea, I'm using LDPlayer, it's pretty great.

I remember on crt's there was a massive difference between 60hz and 85 hertz, but my laptop has a 120 hertz screen and I really don't see much of a difference between it and 60 hertz and it at 120 hertz, there is some work out there by some people that suggest that it's because the CRT is just structured in such a way that you're going to notice improved frame rates better and it's going to look less blurry to your eyes.

As with many things, nextcloud has a good app for it. Nextcloud mail is nice.

To me, the biggest problem with Matrix is that Synapse and Dendrite are both really heavy. I use an alternative server called Matrix Conduit that's more like an xmpp server in how light it is. Only problem then is that Conduit doesn't have that many resources so it's always a few steps back from Synapse or Dendrite.

That's childish and petty.

You know that Facebook uses javascript? Do we stop using javascript? How about html? Do we shut that down? How about http? Do we shut that down? How about tcp/ip? How about the ascii character set?

The internet is based on Open standards. The idea that we would create a new standard just because someone we don't like is using that standard is a non-starter.

The idea that we would then kick out the people who created the standard to begin with, who founded this ecosystem because they made a decision that we disagree with, you're not looking for the internet, you're looking for high school. Everyone can form their clique.

TeamViewer is really nice when you're on the road a lot. That way if you need to hop in and change something, you can do it from pretty much anywhere.

I can't say with certainty, but I'm pretty sure that it'll just find a way to gracefully degrade. The fact is that Mastodon is literally the elephant in the room, if you make your thing incompatible with it, you screwed up.

[–] SJ0@lemmy.fbxl.net 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I use rebased which is another non mastodon back-end that supports many of the same features. I think that generally speaking you're not going to have to worry. Yes, your emotes won't show up on their post for them because Mastodon doesn't actually support that, but it'll show up as a like. If you use quote reposts then it'll just show up as a link to the original comment.

I was like "Wait, aren't I using nova?"

And sure enough I was.

The fact that I don't care is a good thing. It means it doesn't piss me off and make me want to use something else.
