It also has the bonus that is one file has an issue, it doesn’t lock up and crash every single other open document in different instances across excel, word, powerpoint, everything lol

I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying. But censorship and echo chambers on a platform level are a related, but different issue.

I agree that Lemmy is very much anti-censorship.

an environment in which somebody encounters only opinions and beliefs similar to their own, and does not have to consider alternatives

However, echo chambers can exist with 0 platform censorship whatsoever. It doesn’t have to be the platform’s fault. If people only read and interact with communities who’s viewpoints confirm their own, that is a completely self-made echo chamber. Completely seperate than censorship and completely unrelated to the platform, but instead the people and community moderators.

For example, hexbear users pretty much only interact with hexbear and .ml users (and often ban others). That is an echo chamber. The .world main communities ban people of both too far right and too far left so there is little interaction of those viewpoints with those communities. That is an echo chamber. The community of open source doesn’t ban many people, but the only people who go to that community are very positive about open source. That is an echo chamber.

If you have a dozen rooms in the same building and you have 1 room that thinks the world is flat and the people don’t go into any other room, even though they have free and open access and can go to hear the opinions of the 11 other rooms, that room is an echo chamber

Lol nope, i don’t use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.

I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.

I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.

Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren’t as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven’t spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say “propaganda won’t work on me”

People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.

Duh, stream a b&w tty terminal in all of its glory! What is ssh?

I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.

I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won’t ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.

Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven’t found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.

Maybe not a good example because all TVs and Smart fridges run MCUs (or SBUs) that are 10x-20x more powerful than what is in any smart watch besides the apple watch (where the watch is mostly one gigantic custom IC).

They usually run NXP I.MX Arm M7 processors at the bare bare bare minimum, much more common is an ARM A7 or higher which is a completely different world than the tiny nrf52840 with 192KB of RAM and 1MB of flash that is standard across lower-end smart watches (and doesn’t go upuch with higher end) That is why I was confused. But I guess people get down voted to hell for asking a question lol

I would think Linux would be way too heavy for these watches. A lot of them use pretty lean MCUs, a far cry from the beefy Qualcomm phone chips that Post market runs on.

Even running zephyr on the NRF52840 can get heavy with adding a bunch of apps to it.

Nah, it is pretty much if you didn’t buy one of 2 trendy models of the year, then nothing else has ever or will ever be supported (of course you can always write your own drivers but it is a ton of work, especially for non-coders)

I have a thought that a lot of the enthusiasts that go through the pain and effoet of writing all of these drivers for old phones they have were usually the kind of people to buy the best/most popular device of the year

Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?

How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.

Something like endurain?

They also have a batshit judicial culture and women apparently never get justice and most courts are a kind of semi-scripted kangaroo court.

Ace Attorney was specifically made as a parody of Japan’s courts IIRC.

Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…

But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…

I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.

KDE Discover also is good if you want to see/be notified that you have updated things and be able to uninstall/reinstall apps without the GUI bugging out.

Opencloud is a fork from Owncloud Infinite Scale just as nextcloud was a fork from the old Owncloud version.

Apparently much much simpler and more performant than nextcloud in almost every way. It also has a secure file sharing link feature.

They are also based in Germany.

I am about to spin up opencloud behind traefik and authelia hopefully this week or weekend.

Oh yeah I was quite annoyed with bazzite initially with embedded toolchains… The default arch distrobox also runs vscode variants horribly with tons of freezing for some reason. I had to create a new arch distrobox.

Also Saleae Logic2 has a Fedora bug where it takes between 2 and 10 minutes just to open because of logfiles and errordumping and timeouts that is very annoying.

Also menu shortcuts for distrobox only work like for 20% of programs (luckily code-oss is one of them)

And don’t get me started on running a VM that can see the local network…

After you get a setup going though, then it is breezy though.

It’s technically possible by water fasting for 2 months, but that is pretty dangerous for so long and you would need a strict vitamin and salt intake to even have a chance of doing it safely.

Definitely not a good idea, certainly not without doctor supervision.

correct, the real mesh internet replacement is HaLow, that can get a whopping 4Mbps or something.

And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

That’s why I lean hard towards KNX
