  • I have a Galago from S76 and am very happy with it. I replaced the SSD a few months ago and found the service manual well written and easy to follow.

    My next machine will probably be one of theirs too.

  • I saw several threads and may be mixing them up, but at one point someone dug up a link to an interview with desselines where he claimed that the uyghur genecide and the tiananmen square massacre were both hoaxes. There was also some worry in one of the discussions about security and the inability to delete comments. Also something about private messages being stored in plaintext on the server.

  • When the API thing happened, several of the subreddits I frequented had threads about finding an alternative to move to. Lemmy was mentioned, but but discounted early on.

    One problem was that people found out the main dev was a tankie and didn't want to be associated with the project because of that.

    They ended up going to discords, or self hosted forums, or just staying on reddit.

  • If you're looking to try something a little different, I recommend Guix.

    It's based around a nyx-style package manager written in scheme, which is also called guix. There's an EDSL for writing package definitions. One interesting result about this is that the package manager has a REPL and a dedicated emacs mode

    Instead of systemd, the PID1 process is called GNU Shepherd, and is also written in scheme.

    Guix also has a strong emphasis on bootstrapping. You can build almost the entire system from source, relying on only a few binaries to start with.

  • My experience with Mastodon was that it's generally realy nice exxcept

    1. It's a little quiet, and
    2. Of the conversation that is there, too much of it is about Twitter.

    It's kind of like hanging out with your friend who just had a bad breakup and doesn't want to talk about anything but their ex.

    The Lemmyverse feels kind of like that.

    The subreddits I spent most of my time in aren't here or get about a post a week. If I wanted to read about how spez is a bastard, however, I'd have reading material for months.

    I'm generally happy with it, though, and plan to stick around. I just moved from lemmy.ml over to midwest.social, and it seems like a great little community here.
