Mastodon is about micro-blogging, with text, images and videos. PixelFed is only about images which can have a short or longer description. There's Loops, a work in progress, which will enable short videos for PixelFed. If you would follow others on PixelFed from your PixelFed account you'd only see images.
Guess only North-Americans will worry about PixelFeds names :-)

Note: archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso should be run in GRUB2 mode to work. See Ventoy issue #2825.
The screen shot has a document Xubuntu -> Chicago95 open which appears to be related to this :
There used to be wicd as alternative for NM but its development is stalled. There is ConnMan though with apparently GUI and TUI options :
According to this Samba 4.16 removed the support for the old SMB1 Protocol.
Looking here : https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=samba you can see the difference between Jammy and Noble : 4.15 -> 4.19 So it looks like you're out of luck with fast and easy solutions. Maybe downloading the older Samba package and its dependencies and downgrade and then put the package on "hold" is maybe possible. During such an attempt using aptitude instead of apt could be helpful.
um I don’t use a vpn. Please tell me why I should use a VPN.
It is up to you to use a VPN or not. Some people use a VPN to watch regular TV series which are blocked in their own country. Some people, like myself, despise the ad- and tracking- exploitation industry, other people may want to download e-books from anna's archive or simply do not trust their ISP. Other people live in countries where their government is very oppressive and intends to arrest and torture any critical voices.
I have nothing to hide.

Well, if you read some more of jwz's blog posts about the horrible security bugs that others have added while creating derivatives of Xscreensaver you might think twice before doing so. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition For me a screensaver is no longer about trying to prevent dead pixels (or something like that) but being able to safely lock the screen when being away from it for a while.
It can be, but for that, I would rather recommend Aurora or Bluefin. They are almost the same, but without gaming stuff.
