I don't believe so, and honestly I don't think it needs to be. It's already FOSS. And honestly self-hosting would just complicate the process more for normies who apparently can't figure out Mastodon as it is. Maybe if we have at lest one thing that's dummy simple and familiar that's FOSS, maybe it'll be the foot in the door to getting them more comfortable with the FOSS world and out of the corporate sphere.

And honestly I just really want my friends off of fucking Discord, and the more Revolt continues to literally, in every way be "Discord but open source," the better the odds of that happening is.

It's not an official packaging, but it is on Flathub, so maybe they have somewhere?

The desktop app has a donation button in the settings. There's also links to their donation pages on their github, but I do think in both instances they should have their donation link more front and center; it's proven to work out well for multiple other FOSS projects.

Great time to plug that https://revolt.chat/ is coming along nicely! The Android app is being reworked and is in rough shape at the moment, but the biggest feature missing from the desktop app (where I figure it matters most) is screen sharing. Otherwise it's an entirely serviceable Discord clone that is FOSS and would benefit greatly from additional support. I, for one, will be taking the money that was paying for my Nitro and donating it to Revolt instead.

If you have a newer NVIDIA, you should be good. It's a little rough around the edges here and there (steam overlay flickered for a friend, but that was months ago and could well be fixed) , but to my understanding, the worst issues have been solved. And having previously used an RTX 2040, it worke perfectly where it truly matters.

Like others have said, try a dualboot. It can't hurt.

I get the sentiment for this one, but the pastor in question is simply acting like they're above the law. Hemant Mehta (AKA "The Friendly Atheist") covered this story on his YouTube channel:

The short of it is that where this pastor's church is set up is not in the right zone for housing people, the building isn't designed for it, and he's actually puttinf them in danger. And on top of having already been in trouble for this once, I found out in the process of finding the first video that he's still doing it!

That said, I still up-voted the post, because while the pastor is actually in the wrong, so is the state. There's zero reason why these people should have to resort to sheltering in a building that isn't safe just to avoid succumbing to the elements.

By default, both Plasma and Cinnamon have a very similar set up to Windows.

However, Plasma is insanely modular and customizable, so if you're willing to take the time to, you can make it look as much like Cinnamon as you please. Given how simple Cinnamon's design is, I don't think it would be hard at all.

I realized the hard truth is you don't get mad at shit you don't care about. And suddenly a lot of shit I got mad at felt really fucking stupid.

I also learned to take a deep breath before I act in anger, and it often calms me down enough to find a better solution.

I think Deezer has an electron app or something it uses, but it's worked great for me so far. It costs the same aa Spotify the last I checked, and has a comprable selection.

No, it's Trump. They, Robin Bullock, Kat Kurr, all of them make prophecies about Trump. The whole fucking theology centers on Trump. He's become the lynch pin to their everything. One pastor in particular, Shane Vaugn, claims that "Trump is a messiah."

They have hitched it all to Trump. Without him, it all falls apart. They will try to pivot because they won't just give up their influence, but his second defeated will hurt their credibility. It will sow doubt. And when he eventually kicks the bucket, will, I wager most Christians only have it in themselves to wait on just one messiah to come back.
