A veto will only postpone the bill.

I wonder what the authorities could use the recovery email for? Did they gain access to the Protonmail through the recovery email?

This is a setting by the admin of that Pixelfed instance. Try another instance, if you are unhappy with the quality.

Not natively in Pixelfed.

Also consider that Instagram uses aggressive image compression and then you import from that to Pixelfed, which also does its own compression. No wonder the quality is questionable.

Have you tried adding an original image to Pixelfed?

Makes sense to me. Their games isn't made for their community and player base anymore. It’s made for their shareholders and they don’t care about BlizzCon.

You can disable P2P.

You will only see content from other instances, if your instance federates with them.

However, some instances allow “global search”, which means you can practically find everything through search, from all the other instances.

It’s also possible to subscribe to channels from other instances, even though your instance does not federate with said instance.

If you go to the About > Network page, you can see which instances is federated with yours.

This is how the settings look like for a PeerTube admin, regarding global search and subscribing to remote channels:

Look for this, under the about page of the instance.

Who need that much storage on their phone? Honestly asking.

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

That make sense. Thanks.

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

What do you use all that storage for?

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

Thanks. That sounds pretty cool.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

Discord. And no, Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

It’s missing voice channels.

I didn’t know about Revolt. It sounds awesome and does indeed look like a Discord clone, but while you can self host it, instances can’t communicate with each other. The devs of Revolt actually recommend NOT to self host.

Signed up for Revolt, but still waiting for the email confirmation…

@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

That doesn’t look like voice channels to me, like in Discord?

A major reason that Windows is “popular” is because it’s pre-installed on desktops and laptops. Users don’t have a choice when they go to the store to buy a laptop for doing banking stuff or save pictures from their old camcorder.

It’s the same way with browsers. IE was “popular”, but only because that was the browser that was pre-installed on Windows. The IE browser was complete shit.

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

That’s not the segment I am talking about. I’m talking about “regular folks”, who know nothing about IT, but need a laptop for whatever reason. Checking their bank, mail… That’s the majority of Windows users. Not the PC builder. They probably don’t even know what “Windows” is, if you asked them.

If Linux were pre-installed on PC’s, most people wouldn’t even notice a difference, because all they need is a browser and maybe an office suite, for very simple work.

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

What needs to happen is that all the laptop makers, HP, Lenovo Acer etc. start having Linux pre-installed on their laptops in the stores. That probably won’t happen, as I imagine that Microsoft pays these companies to sell their laptops with Windows on them.

What’s your issue with Cider, if you don’t mind me asking?

meldrik ,
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

I think you are partially right, but I think the only reason Windows is easier for the user, is because they are pre-exposed to Windows.

If you took someone, who has zero knowledge of any OS or its GUI, I honestly doubt that Windows would be better.

It’s the same if you take a person who has only known MacOS their whole life and ask them to navigate in Windows… or vice versa… You won’t see positive results.

Tragic how the abused has become the abuser.

Thank you for your awesome work, @Framasoft! I especially think storyboards is a really nice QoL feature.

However, how do I keep it from using all CPU cores, when creating the storyboard? 😅

An alternative for iOS is “Go Map!!”.

Best I can think of, would be implementing Librepay into PeerTube and make payments easy af.

@meldrik@lemmy.wtf avatar

Tilvids.com is probably the best place for good creators on PeerTube.

I like how Lemmy looks simpler and more lightweight. Also Kbin is trying to do 2 things instead of focusing on one thing and I don’t think that’s a good idea.
