Yeah, because your instance and almost all instances have decided to straight-up defederate
No, it didn’t defederate from Threads.
cuz Meta will access the federated info
Meta will access Threads accounts via federation? Um, sure… I mean it’s on their platform already…
I just edited my comment to add a link to the guide for opting in.
“Be outside Europe” is hardly a guide to opt in. 🙄 I’m in Europe and my Threads profile just isn’t available on ActivityPub. Period.
If Brazilian fediverse is anything like English fediverse, its community was probably tied up in discussions who to deferderate from next and vegan cat food instead of promoting Mastodon.
Threads uses opt-out ActivityPub.
That’s not true. I can neither opt my test account in nor out of ActivityPub. It’s simply not available to Mastodon.
You’re clearly someone who never contributed to open source.
Do regular Mastodon instances and clients play nicely with Threads?
You can’t connect to Threads using a Mastodon client but you can follow select Threads accounts from the Mastodon instance your client is connected to. Threads is still in what is basically a public beta. That’s why there are currently no ads there either (but they were announced recently).
Yeah, as if the authors had no idea what terms the license has…
Given how long it took to fix the federation issues back in december (0.19 update), I’d be hesitant about updating, too.
But you’re on a 0.19.5 instance. Do you experience issues? There’s some incompatibility with Mastodon, apparently, but given that 0.19.5 addresses serious privacy issues and has been out for a while without big problems, the privacy fixes are more important than keeping 100% Mastodon compatibility. Surely 0.19.6 will be out soon enough to address them.
is shared with a few other active services.
Why would you do that, given that Lemmy is 0.x software?
An old (now decommissioned) notebook of mine had a broken headphone jack. I didn’t have BT headphones then. Audio output worked technically but the detection whether headphones were plugged in or not did no longer work.
I wrote a very short amixer script to force unmute the jack, set the volume to 50 or so percent and set the speaker volume to 0% but not “mute” state. I could then use my wired headphones again.
I get needing more space for certain workflows but if fonts are blurry on 1080p at 100% there’s something wrong with your setup. Misconfigured font renderer or so. Configure your FreeType to set font smoothing to sharp and hinting to slight. If your distribution has other defaults, file a bug report with them. Back in the day when screens had a lower pixel density (I had 15" 720p once), FreeType might have been configured “smoother” because it would match print output closer.
Would you mind sending that email to the millions of devs around the world?
Yes, I mind. For Qt5 applications, basic HiDPI support can be patched in with a single line. I actually did that for a handful of applications, tested them, and then submitted pull requests on Github. I cannot program, so all I could do is to copy and paste that one line from the Qt documentation. It’s not much but I already did my part.
I am once again begging Framework to just give us a damn regular DPI display that works!
Bottom Skinner is right, though. It’s 2024. HiDPI has to be supported by all toolkits, desktops, and applications at this point. There are no excuses. Even 1080p on a 14" laptop screen warrants 125% scaling, IMO.
I don’t see anyone doing it, honestly.
Brainwashing can achieve so many things. Surely people thinking paid FW employees are their friends and it’s merely doing their friends a favor (and in return they get stickers, some to keep, most to hand out).
So for me it does not really feel like profit is their sole number one priority.
Considering that they get paid their monthly salaries either way, the amount of profit is surely not on their mind all the time. According to Framework investor LTT Linus, the company is very successful. Why doesn’t he promote Linux on Framework then?
Unpaid Linux ambassadors?
No, unpaid Framework PR people at Linux events.
how come opensuse has that button
Having that button doesn’t automatically result in that feature actually working. The development stakeholders don’t seem to be interested in it actually working other than chance and given that even Windows and macOS moved to “always connected” suspend instead of full sleep with hibernation, I don’t see a push for feature parity on the horizon (that’s why Windows laptops and more recently also MacBooks often cannot wake up because the battery is depleted). It’s really bad and IMO one of the few big problems to solve (at least on my Windows notebook because of its broken regular suspend, I can force it into hibernation).
I had somewhat decent success making a swap file (not a partition):
sudo fallocate --length 16600MiB /swapfile;sudo chmod 600 /swapfile;sudo mkswap /swapfile;sudo swapon /swapfile;sudo nano /etc/fstab
Then add /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
the fstab file now open in Nano.
I don’t have a Framework Laptop, can I still apply?
Our ambassadors need to be active users and owners of Framework Laptop(s)
That’s pathetic. In place of financial compensation, the least they could do is to give Framework notebooks away. Doesn’t even have to be a gift right away. There could be strings attached. “On loan first but you can keep it after X amount of time.”
I can’t answer that but the test comment looks OK.
I used Fedora in the past and found the KDE Spin a little less polished. I don’t know the current situation but there was a time Fedora KDE shipped out of the box with three web browsers because the volunteers couldn’t agree on one, whereas the RH employees just decided that they want Firefox and not Gnome Web for RHEL, so in Fedora they just did the same. Updates were rolled out in a timely manner (and I heard nothing that indicated anything changed in that regard), so the volunteer squad didn’t do a worse job there than the paid Gnome people.
