I can help with futurology.

I see this crackdown on Trumpism more as a response from the state because it was threatened than a response from the left. There may be many on the left who cheer this on, but it is not directed by those on the far left. This is a response from the state. The state does not care about your right of free speech if there is an attack on it. The state will protect it’s power structures no matter what.

An even bigger step would be if there were standard size containers with standard size mouths and a height limit that any branded machine could fill up with their own formula.

You can. It is called Communities. It is groupings of rooms.

This is a good thing! I am always against any oppression any government does in the world whether it is Iran or the USA but I want a way for people to work together independent of political issues their governments face.

It would have been nice to see him win because he is not subject to USA’s censorship.

First cross post! Excited to see a ca instance!

This year we saw a lot of progress in what moderation of instances mean. These numbers could be highly influenced by large changes in the network due to instance bannings like when Gab arrived and was quickly banned.

I am pretty sure it is choreographed and not intended to make people believe they are autonomously getting down on the dance floor.

On laptops too?

I think it would be nice to have the ability to add a mastodon toot into Lemmy and have it display the toot in a nice format and be linked to the toot’s server, but I don’t think replies to it should be standard from Lemmy since there likely could be different conversations occurring on different mediums.

I also think it would be nice to have PeerTube video integrated well into Lemmy but again the replies on Lemmy should not be the same as the replies on the Peertube format. Likely it will be a specific community focused discussion on Lemmy.

Definitely use Steam’s Proton to play steam games, just change your settings to have it run for every game that doesn’t run native on Linux. Proton uses Wine. If it is not a steam game, use Lutris. Lutris provides great install scripts that also use Wine. Gaming on Linux has come a long way in the last 6 months to a year.

No open source options? Boo!

Scrooged!

That .ales sense. Thanks.

Not really technology related but great article. I definitely notice the less enjoyment the more I do it trying to get the same feeling I got previously. At the same time in my life I seem to be trying to simplify my life by creating habits to reduce stress that is essentially doing the same thing over and over. These two ideas seem conflicting, but I think both are necessary.

I am very impatient for federated alternatives to Reddit to really take hold so we can escape all of the controlled messaging.

What happened to Fedora?

Couldn’t most messaging apps face these lawsuits also since they claim end to end encryption but are able to access the messages themselves, like whatsapp.

Maybe ***tube will all of a sudden add ads to every video and not pay the creators unless they are registered partners… oh wait, they just did that!
