I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

It might, but I think it might be a federation bug between our instances. I haven’t seen one like this before, but I’ll keep an eye out to see if it happens again / there’s a pattern.
You could also try setting yourself as a bot, saving, and then reversing it again. That might prompt your instance to send out the information again.
Oh sorry about that, it’s still showing up as a bot for me but it’s fine on your instance. I think the information just hasn’t federated over to lemmy.ca yet
An excerpt
Jen asked:
There’s a lot of secure software, that probably people in this room work on, that is developed in the open, and that is used primarily by at-risk users, including things like Tor, Signal, SecureDrop. That’s great, because it makes it easy for folks to contribute. Maybe you don’t want that, I understand that can be hard. But it also makes it easier for people to audit and gain assurance that the app is doing what you claim without having to have, you know, EFF reverse engineer it. Would you be open to making the app open source?
His answer: “Absolutely not.”
Why? “I don’t want anybody from the government to have their hooks in how I’m doing what I’m doing. Once you go open source, everybody has access to it. So I’m just going to keep the codebase private at this time.”
He also claimed that the government can’t learn everything about how an app works by reverse engineering it, which isn’t true.
I agree with Jen. His answers are very concerning.
Your account is marked as a bot by the way, you can fix that in your user settings
Also brick walls don’t really go through iterative changes, which is an important issue with tech debt.
If the wall works, then it works
A software project will work now, but may not hold up when you need to change something
I love it 😄
Did you extract those clips for this post, and do you have a recommended method for doing that? I sometimes find clips on getyarn, but the site barely loads half the time
I saw some at the store, but I need to go back and confirm that they are still there
They do make it possible to adjust the ratings on your own account for the ones you disagree on. It doesn’t affect the newsletters, but I find those to be too american-specific anyway
It sounds like OP is asking where this talking point comes from in order to counter it effectively.
I don’t think the post is in bad faith and it fits the purpose of this community. It’s possible that OP is a troll, but their user history doesn’t give that impression and neither does the body of the post.
The title could have been better
That sounds rough
If you don’t mind sharing, what is your hardware setup? Maybe someone can recommend a distro that’s more likely to work out of the box with your computer. While I haven’t tried it myself, Bazzite might be better for you if it can get you gaming without having to do too much additional work:
It depends on how you want to sync. If you’re selfhosting freshrss for example, my personal preference is Capy RSS
I also recommend Foliate as the other comment said. Frog is great for extracting text quickly, especially with the screenshot tool
That would be the good way of doing this, but I remember right after the strawberry issue was fixed it would still mess up similar queries. They might have hard-coded something in for that one, at least initially
I’ve been following this project
https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering
They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they’re developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day
Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:
Wouldn’t it also lift you up with a similar amount of force? Similar to putting a fan on a sailboat to blow at the sails, the forces would cancel out somewhat
I’m not sure it would, unless the person’s volume also changes considerably.
Buoyant force comes from a displaced volume of fluid (the outside air in this case)
Sounds good! There’s also !linux4noobs@programming.dev and similar communities to ask questions for all the specific issues you are working on
recently i just finished building a new pc. mostly for gaming since my only exposure to linux is steam os and i heard its uses arch with kde plasma so i try to emulate it as close as i can. however soon i realized how different it is and it requires more setup than i initially thought.
It sounds like you’re thinking of Arch + KDE as similar to building a PC, where if you get the same parts you can hook them up for the same experience.
I think their team chose Arch to build their distro off of because it’s very customizable and made it easy for them to add their configurations, interface layers, hardware optimizations etc. That doesn’t make it the best choice for a beginner unless you want to be thrown into the deep end and spend some time to learn a bunch.
IMO you should look into something like Bazzite or some other atomic Fedora, or OpenSuse, so that you can have a running operating system you can game on. Then you can spend some time learning about Linux with the functioning PC. There are ways to run other Linux distros inside your main one if you want to play with them and learn about them.
Unless you have another machine to use day to day, I find it annoying to be learning with the same machine I need for other things.
There are some other projects in this space already, with varying levels of open source / selfhostability / features

Zulip and Revolt looked the most promising for Slack and Discord replacements respectively
