+1 for RSS but it doesn't really replace the comments. granted on reddit the quality of discussion has for sure declined and lemmy is still a little dead sometimes. but it still provides value (to me)
someone should build a distributed comment system that works with plain old RSS feeds
i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.
instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don't need the extra login step into my user session.
i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.
i don't have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.
i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.
at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.
i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).
last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.
maybe my comment about gitlab didn't come across right. i do find oxide's model to be better and agree with their criticism of gitlab's.
and as much as you are absolutely right about labour being treated much like any other commodity required for a company to extract value, that is precisely the issue being pointed at here, isn't it?
we should differentiate and acknowledge that people are more complex than that. their experiment seems to create an atmosphere where work is being done despite compensation not being used as an incentive and instead to enable the worker to do the work.
i personally don't think this should be a responsibility of a company at all, but rather society (or the state) should assure these conditions... but we are stuck with capitalism and this is a step towards something better :)
I always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.
in theory shouldn't it be possible to use bubblewrap and the xdg-desktop-portal project to hack together only the sandboxing bits of flatpak while leaving out ostree/distribution
