Yup. That’s a native Reddit feature so it is part of the implementation of a lot of apps. In wefwef’s case I’m not sure how they developed it because I don’t think that’sa native feature of Lemmy

That’s been worked on according to the GitHub issues and is going to be added to wefwef even though it’s not a native Lemmy function.

Makes me think DRM and TPM functions as well in that case too.

You could try distrosea before committing to an install.

It gives you a VM online to play around in for almost any distro you can think of.

Don’t forget that desktop environment (DE) and distro are decoupled in Linux, so if you didn’t like the feel of Ubuntu (GNOME DE) you can go with Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE). Both are on DistroSea.

Whoops! Fixed

I set up wireguard vpn and took down all my reverse proxies as it feels more secure and is easier to maintain.

From what I’ve heard tailscale is a step easier as well. So you could vpn into your network rather than accessing the services via URL.

Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.

Don’t knock it until you try it.

I used to work consumer help desk and 90% of the actual virus problems people brought in their machines for were from Facebook ads.

The site is riddled.

Lutris does pretty much all the main game stores. GOG, Steam, Uplay, EAOrigin, Epic. IIRC they also have custom wine scripts to install with recommended settings so you almost always have the best config out of the box.

There’s also Heroic, which only does GOG and Epic, but is a bit cleaner and easier to use.

Because the controversy is drumming up news. He’s the face of that and it’s all for the IPO.

No publicity is bad publicity and all that, but he’s also getting ahead of all the other news so that anyone possible investors might be interested.

None of this is for us anymore. Not us the former users, the current users or us “regular people”. He and his handlers are trying to drum up publicity for big money.

We can only do what we can do.

I think of the 90-9-1 rule. If 10% of users leave or spend less time, there’s less content. Less content means the 90% will go elsewhere.

With something as big as Reddit it was never going to be easy, it was never going to be quick. But this will hurt them.

Don’t think about it as a war lost, think of it as a battle lost, but serious damage done.

Also don’t go back, that’s exactly what they’re betting on.
