the archinstall script is officially supported and very straightforward. like, almost Calamares-but-in-TUI straightforward.

do you also think it's okay to, say, use an N-word for Black people who commit crimes?

again, if the person who is making the post doesn't change the setting, it won't get filtered. if they type a message in German but the post's language option is set to English (which I think is the default on some major instances), it won't get filtered out.

you can usually check what their post's setting is by starting writing a reply to them, as the language option of your post will switch to the one they post in.

Mastodon relies on users setting the language their post is in manually, so if someone posts in two languages and forgets to switch between them, they don't get filtered out. I know there are some other pieces of software that switch it automatically, I'm fairly sure Calckey automatically recognized the language you were writing in.

it's been better marketed, and people struggle with the concept of federation and picking a server. and I guess the invite-only, artificial exclusivity strat has actually paid off for them initially, unlike for Google+.

also, a matter of culture. I've seen many newcomers complain about how some long time users act as HOA, reminding everyone to act according to the long-standing rules. many people of colour have experience many forms of racist behaviour, too, which has driven some communities away.

oh, and the federation/defederation business sometimes gets way too messy, which [cynic mode on] makes it difficult for people who want their Personal Brand™ to gain as many followers as possible over the entire network.

It will relate to users who choose to see less personalised adverts in their feeds.

ah, because regular evil wasn't enough.

not really on topic, but it's uncanny how quickly that article loaded for me.

 

The Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Firefox browser maker Mozilla, has laid off 30% of its employees as the organization says it faces a “relentless onslaught of change.”

 

The developers of Apex Legends have announced that they're going to be blocking the game completely on Linux platforms including Steam Deck.

well then.

There's a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft's plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

Sorry to say, but I'm here to bring a more realistic take and to help keep all your feet on the ground.

quite relevant to yesterday's discussion.

tacking on a bunch of LLMs sure is a way to "make the web more human".

 

Did you know you can play Doom on a diffusion model now? It’s true, Google just announced it! Just don’t read the paper too closely.

A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.
