  • Incus 6.12 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released

    Jump

  • Nice to see Incus doing well after canonical's forced overtaking of the original project lxd.

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

  • Thanks! Definitely reading this one now though its kinda long. I had heard about it but didn't see anyone put it this way before.

  • How are you supposed to deal with this without just losing all your values and becoming like them?

    Are there any books or anything that someone can read on this?

  • I think x86 is basically the only platform that's used ACPI

    ARM and x86. From wikipedia:

    Revision 5.0 of the ACPI specification was released in December 2011,[15] which added the ARM architecture support.

  • ETA: Sorry I was wrong. ACPI doesnt solve this*. Arm SystemReady SR/ES does and its why Ampere cpus can boot on linux on release without too much work.

    Sadly its currently only used for iot/server stuff but hopefully it will eventually make its way to consumer tech. We need to raise awareness on this and pressure companies to commit to this standard.

    *From what I read, WoA has full ACPI support but qcoms ACPI apis only work on Windows. [1 (ms link)][2]

    Yeah its really unfortunate that most arm chips/devices use DTs instead of conforming to ACPI. However with ARM becoming more prominent on servers (and desktops), Im hoping this changes. There is now a push for ACPI on Arm since thats what companies running Arm on servers want. Ampere server cpus eg have ACPI support and arm now has docs on ACPI. I hope qualcomm is also forced to support ACPI. I think they will have to do it if they want to see their cpus being used in data centers and the like.

    Plugin support now ready for devs, releasing with v1.0

  • I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with.

    Jump

  • I think piefeds combined view makes this less of an issue. Like people subscribe to/post in the big communities because they are more active so get more comments and stuff. But in piefed you get the combined discussion from all the communities so you get the same experience even if you are subscribed to a less popular community on that topic.

  • I dont think its the software* but the instance that matters. Everyone being on lw is not good (not that there is anything wrong with lw, just that centralization is bad). Thankfully most lemmy apps nowadays default to lemm.ee which should hopefully counter most of the centralization. Lemmy apps should rotate the default server when it gets too big which will help a lot (also shows the impact defaults have).

    *Software would have mattered if the main devs instance was also the biggest. Or a very popular lemmy client defaulted to their own instance. With lemmy thats not the case.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • Subreddits were not a problem before since they were accessible on the web without needing an account. But now reddit is gradually locking them down behind authwalls and things like not letting search engines index (other than Google).

    Lemmy communities dont have this problem and because lemmy is federated, its resistant to such enshittification (plus you can easily create your own lemmy instance for only your team). So imo they are a good alternative to forums (and reddit) and a good solution to this problem.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • Discourse already exists (and most big companies use that).

    Also you can see many other things on Reddit or Discord too (or the internet). Im not sure how that is a point against federation. If companies really want to control everything they can create their own instance (like KDE's lemmy instance).

    They can defederate everyone from their instance to get an "unfederated" instance but again it changes nothing imo.

    In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance. Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

  • Discord is getting mobile ads

    Jump

  • Element is an app for "Matrix" (thats like lemmy but for discord) that is developed by a for-profit company (the company mostly manages deployments for big governments). But not only is it open source, its just one client of many for matrix. The vast majority are developed by individuals (Cinny, FluffyChat).

    Plus, it's not even remotely similar to Discord.

    There are probably discord features missing from matrix but they certainly have a lot of similarities. Though tbf Cinny is the closest to discord in terms of design and functionality not element (but they both are matrix clients).

  • Dumb question but do "likes" on #Mastodon automatically create up-votes on a #Lemmy post? I want to get a good grasp on the #Fediverse.

    Jump

  • So this post has (at the time of writing this post):

    • 0 favorites on mastodon
    • 101 upvotes on lemmy (2 downvotes)
    • 9 replies on mastodon (7 lemmy instances, 2 mastodon)
    • 8 replies on lemmy (7 lemmy, 1 mastodon)

    From this I would say it looks like lemmy upvotes dont federate at all with mastodon. Replies seem to federate but for some reason 1 reply from mastodon is missing on lemmy.

  • Has anyone else questioned their choice of computers for running Linux?

  • I dont think Photoshop and Roblox work on Linux at all (Roblox does through Sober right now but probably not for long). Buying another computer will not change that (and iirc mac os also supports dual boot).

    However if you buy/build a good enough pc, you can run windows in a vm and use roblox/ps without dual booting.

    If you dont strictly need a laptop, then yes I would recommend you build your own desktop pc. But if you do, AFAIK xps and thinkpad line of laptops have pretty good quality. The higher end surface laptops are also good (but very expensive). I cant really recommend much else without knowing what features you expect.

  • Lemmy Just Broke the 54k MAU Record Set During the 2023 API Exodus!

    Jump

  • The MAU of lemmy.world is ~18,600 which is a bit greater than the combined MAU of the next 7 instances (a big help here is lemm.ee which has ~7000 MAU). This is a really healthy spread of users and it means we don't lose lemmy if the biggest instance goes down.

    Compare that to Mastodon, where mastodon.social has more MAU (~372,000) than the combined MAU of the next 30 instances at least (I gave up counting). Thats not healthy for the ecosystem. Though tbf the total MAU of mastodon is ~899,000 so without mastodon.social they will still have ~527,000 but it will be very spread out.
