41·6 months agoTikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill [1.1]
The title feels misinformative to me given, the following from the article:
[…] Trump insiders claim to be zeroing in on a deal that would sell 80% of TikTok’s U.S. assets to […] [1.2]
To me, the title infers that TikTok is being sold with certainty, whereas the content of the article sates that a deal has yet to even be reached.

Perhaps you’d be interested [1] in Ibis [2]?

- Ibis [2] was recommended because of their apparent negative opinion of Wikipedia’s alleged centralized structure.

2·7 months agoIIRC, I did try that, but it caused my controller to cease functioning at all. Take that statement with a grain of salt though — I’d need to test again to verify.
I’m currently waiting for them to release a patch for it; my controller is a little fucked: The controller vibration seems to have stopped working. Also, it bugs out for me if I disconnect the controller when the game is running and reconnect: some of the buttons stop working.
UPDATE (2025-09-05T06:54Z): It turns out that the lack of controller rumble is fixable by forcing the use of Proton instead of running the native build [1].

1·9 months ago[…] I hope it’s really coming🤞
A change regarding Peertube federation with Lemmy certainly does appear to be coming in Lemmy 1.0 [1], but it’s currently unknown to me if it does actually fix the issue.

#5509 fixes this, it will be released as part of Lemmy 1.0
- This is referring to code that was pushed to the repository that allegedly fixes the issue with Peertube federation.

I can’t wait until Lemmy’s Peertube integration is released [1]. Then, iiuc, this comment section should be able to happen directly on The Linux Experiment’s videos within Lemmy.

[Tesseract is] a Photon fork.
TIL that Tesseract is a Photon Fork. Would you know, by chance, at what point in Photon’s development it was forked to form Tesseract, and what the rationale was?

That’s pretty neat!
You’re welcome! 😊
IDK if they’re “Fediverse specific”, but I love SSTF’s (@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world) art.
Transphobic main dev […]
Do you have a source?
I agree, through the lens of unfetted capitalism, but, with adequate regulation, I don’t think this is a necessary outcome. Although, perhaps “unfetted capitalism” isn’t capitalism?
[…] it doesn’t remove admins from the equation and users still have to choose an instance to be associated with […]
I think that’s a fair point! At any rate, I do agree with you in that I think that users should be completely portable for a truly sustainable federated service.
It could be done without having to clone all data though. Reddit is hosted by AWS and their data is distributed on multiple servers, so replace AWS by a bunch of people like you and me providing disk space for the data and tada, you can decentralized the database and just give people access to interacting with it directly (through code) or via various front-ends that people would create. […]
If I understand you correctly, there is an open issue for Lemmy for an, I think, similar idea of co-hosting communities.
[…] they’re always using the same credentials no matter the website they use and no matter the website they can interact with everything that ever happened on the servers, no one has the power to prevent users from seeing some of the transactions that happened (no admins) because the website they use are just a front used to simplify interaction with the servers. […]
Hm, IIUC, this is one of Bluesky’s issues that the linked blog post was pointing out — if joining the network requires one to mirror all existing data, it makes it prohibitively expensive for anyone to spin up a server to join the network if the size of the network is enormous.
If things were decentralized in similar way to crypto it would be way better for user adoption.
IIUC, are you perhaps referring to something like Nostr?

My main server runs Ubuntu Server (I’m thinking about switching it to Debian), and my laptop and desktop both run Arch Linux. Generally, I pick whatever I think is best for the given usecase — things like stability, package availability, documentation, security, etc. are considered.
