NixOS is the new “I use arch btw.”

It’s mostly useful for stability in appliances and reproducibility in large scale deployments.

IMO, I don’t think immutability makes sense for desktop use. The whole point of a desktop is to make it personalized.

Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Cool, I might check it out again come spooky season.

For your use case, building from source might be more practical.

Why the hell do you only have 8GB? Are you trying to install flatpaks on a smart fridge?

Anger has a way of adding a few zeros.

That game is really jank, but it has a kinda special sauce that makes the core game-play really fun. I used to play a lot until they overhauled the inventory system to a confusing mess. It was so opaque I never tried it again. Did they ever fix that?

That reason is so hilariously generic, they could slap it on literally any executive decision.

Nightdive’s remake of the first one was so good, I was hoping the second one got the same treatment.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it’ll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.

I remember trying this out a while back and bouncing off it because it was a Windows only app. I’d love a Linux client or even a Web UI to make it platform agnostic.

Right now Syncthing basically fulfills this need for me (including “cloud” saves) outside the nice library UI.

Nvidia would never release intentionally misleading marketing to make them selves seem better, would they?!

It makes sense for handhelds, but are there any advantages of using Bazzite over just using a regular distribution for a gaming desktop?

Shareholders are a poison to innovation in general.

IMO it’s the perfect balance of powerful when you need it, simple when you don’t.

Sure, there are still some compatibility issues, but it’s still by far the largest plug-and-play library of any handheld by an incredible margin.

You should anyway. Upgrading every generation is a huge waste of money.
