Also some FOSS projects and some content creators use it to spread announcement

And NASA posts a lot of astronomy pictures with #astromigration

Some of the "popular twitterers" are also on Mastodon, like @georgetakei@universeodon.com , @stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk (less activity), @neilhimself@mastodon.social

True story? I haven't been back to Reddit since the 30th, are the boys actually running rampant as many predicted?

And scrolling up and down constantly cause there's not enough screenspace to show all the information (because 90% of the screenspace is empty or used for enourmous padding)

I'm doing my part!

Thanks for sharing :)

I have no clue about the HDD model. I guess I'll find out when I replace it xD the HDD has been reliable, it's just unbearably slow.

I saw the HDD light blinking when opening webpages, I'll give the SSD a go to see if the laptop can become somewhat usable. It'll only be intermittently used anyway, so I'd rather not buy a new one. (To save a bit of money and a lot of E-waste)

How is your potato treating you?

I'm considering buying a small SSD to throw in a 2014 AMD laptop, hoping to upgrade it from "unbearable slow" to "usable for very basic web-browsing". It was a cheap laptop at the time, so I fear the CPU itself might be a bottle neck, not just the 320gb of spinning rust. (4GB ram should be sufficient for basic use though)

From the article (from original Maui's response):

a UI framework that as of today is still the first result in Google when searching for the term “Maui UI framework” but that due to the might of GitHub (another Microsoft subsidiary) and Microsoft own website (specifically, their blog) SEO that will change over time.

Exactly this has happened. On both Google and DuckDuckGo (partially Bing?) all the top results are Microsoft Maui, you have to scroll down for original Maui

Op article is from 2020.

This Microsoft article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui is dated 30 January 2023 and still uses the MAUI brand name, so Microsoft have not fixed their mistake

This should be a slam dunk case of copyright infringement for the original Maui project. Isn't this the sort of thing EFF (EFFE?) should be fighting in the courts on behalf of small open source projects?

You can follow them from your already existing Mastodon (and maybe kbin?) account.

From my account on mastodon.online I just followed https://social.overheid.nl/@beheerder as a test, and I've already been following https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission

For some reason my server couldn't find users from the social.bund.de when I pasted the follow-link (like https://social.bund.de/@Zoll )

By the way Mastodon has a very nice interface to subscribe to other instances. Like now when using when following the link in OPs post and opening a web browser, then clicking on a user and clicking follow, it gives the option to sign in to subscribe OR copy a link to subscribe from another instance . Then I just paste that link in the search field in my Mastodon app (logged in to mastodon.online). Hopefully Lemmy will implement that "button to copy link to subscribe from other instance" soon

Turns out the real protest was the Fedifriends we made along the way

You might be on the wrong track with the last paragraph. Does the mosquito broker even support "devices"? Doesn't it just support generic topics and messages?

It sounds like for whatever reason rtl_433 is not pushing messages to your MQTT broker. Check with MQTT Explorer if you haven't already

Double check your MQTT connection settings in rtl_433. Also try changing QOS settings to see if it helps

The arms race has begun

I'm cautiously optimistic given their track record last time they got un-canceled

It's not so much about the programming language you use, it's about what data you're taking in, what you're doing with it, and where you're passing the data off to next.

If everything is all the same encoding, or all your data is ANSI you never have to think about it. It's only when your program runs across systems or regions things get screwed up

That's pretty cool, and nice to have the steam UI consistent with the rest of the desktop if you're on gnome.

It's also a bit ironic given how libadwaita was kinda born out of a desire of some developers to not have their apps themed https://stopthemingmy.app/

I'm actually having the opposite experience (for the most part). All the little papercuts of yesteryear are almost completely gone, and it's only looking better on the horizon. Of course your mileage may vary depending on use case and hardware..

Some things of the top of my head:

• Flatpak replacing 3rd party PPAs. Brand new software without dependency hell or breaking system packages? Yes please
• Snaps and AppImages too
• XDG Portals standards, making snaps and flatpaks play nice with confinement
• Audio and Bluetooth? It "just works" now
• Pipewire
• Even gaming works really well now, with Proton, DXVK etc
• AMD and Intel drivers baked in to the kernel
• Wayland finally being production ready for many use-cases, and being adopted as the default, fixing so many of the ancient X11 issues (screen tearing, multiple displays with different scaling, refresh rate, fractional scaling) ( cries in Nvidia )
• Nvidia finally changing their mind so Wayland on Nvidia can be a thing (I can't wait 😊)
• KDE Connect / gsConnect phone integration
• Screensharing on Wayland even on legacy X11 apps becoming a thing through the new screensharing Portal

The only problem I've had recently is Ubuntu's forced snapification, and snap being very rough around the edges for Desktop apps (ahem drag'drop)

This is so stupid I love it 😂

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised
