  • Also, curation of a collection is not so easy on lemmy - links roth, loose interest, get debunked...

    I whish I could have a "folder" on my bookmarks curated by my team at work, another with my family, follow the interests of my significant other(s) - as long as they want to share them with me, of course...

  • It lacks the Firefox bookmarks integration, I guess... :-)

  • That said, I foresee that all of those that now host a shinny mastodon or lemmy instance would not be as many - plain command line, no visuals, boring server stuff is a lot less sexy. But those could just link their instances to a server (they could host themselves as well, of course).

    Maybe this is already happening and I fail to recognize it?... How do you host a lemmy instance, for instance? Aren't there "services" supporting your instance?... I honestly don't know.

  • See above (sorry, should have replied to your post, had I not get confused with the fact that later posts appear above earlier ones).

  • Quite the opposite...

    Usenet was decentralized. Email is decentralized.

  • Don't know the site you're looking for - might have never seen it. But I saw a tip a while back: name YOUR scripts something like ",script" (with a comma, or other confortable to type character as 1st character). It would be odd to ever find a colision.

    I just don't do that though! Too odd!

  • That's a shame! Maybe there's a place for an "OSMService", serving maps to apps.

    "MApps"?

  • I've purchased OSMAnd on Android and I love it. But would like to try out Organic Maps.

    I wonder: Is there a way to share the maps between the two? Or am I forced to keep both copies?

  • Thank you all. That's what I thought - no way to make the query the way I was thinking of.

    I realize that, if i'd like to have a program search for repos not configured in sources.list, then I would have to specify the repo as well (the https:// link, I mean).

    The website half-fixes the problem, since it tells me the release the package might be in. But still doesn't tell me whether it is in main, contrib or non-free (section?).

    Don't worry about me creating a frankendebian by mixing releases - I destroy my system in other more subtle ways like adding appimage applications as if there was no tomorrow.

  • Someone already mentioned The art of command-line. It's a start.

    And just use it... you'll get better at it with time and practice.

    Also, make sure your use of the CLI enhances your workflow, or it won't work.

  • Idea for next social media platform: call them circles.

    One more: exactly like lemmy but call them rooms.

    Another: exactly like every other one but call them... groups (ups, you might have to fight google though - "groups" might be trademarked!)

    Sorry for the sarcasm, but shouldn't this be set in the spec for the fediverse protocol already?
