Right now I’m thinking I’ll need to add a bunch of web sites as exceptions in Firefox settings so at least their most frequently used web sites are easier to log into.

I'd go for allow cookies to be stored for the sites they use or allow all.

“Fact: 95% of Linux users switched back to Windows95 right before all their problems are about to be fixed” A.D. 1999

  • Seriously though a few years ago Microsoft launched their own Linux distributions. You'd think it would be smooth sailing now, no ?

If you have not followed any of the conversations on Mastodon in the past then it could be more difficult to understand. Let me just try to summarize this a bit. I give credits to Gargron to pulling off Mastodon and being an example for other to give a boost to Fediverse development (Before Mastodon there were a few things but all a bit niche kind of. Mastodon then profited from a few Twitter, Tumblr and what not Exodus moments to get more popular). But other than that Gargron should have taken responsibility. As far as I remember the Mastodon app was just pointing to dot social at some point, nice for masses of new users, but not in the spirit of decentralization (Going from one silo to another ? And yeah, simply migrate to another instance, not every person will do so) You cannot point confused masses of people to just your flagship instance, and do no moderation. This has all improved by now. Now imagine that your own nice instance got several thousands of users (I think I remember that https://social.tchncs.de/explore went over 20k users in 2018 with the first Twitter Exodus causing some initial server troubles. Today the same server shows 4K active users). What would you do ? In case of the Mastodon social flagship I believe they eventually hired moderators. Ironically Gargron is quoted here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)#Content_moderation

I think I would have preferred sudo apt-get remove --purge systemd Yeah, some old habits never die.

In the past it was the Shift button for Grub, but apparently not for UEFI setups https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Hide_GRUB_unless_the_Shift_key_is_held_down so I guess if you want the Grub menu to be visible at startup you'd do some editing. As far as I know systemd-boot does show a menu with fall-back kernel.

IzzyOnDroid and direct install will install the Proton mail app with Google push notifications. With the main F-Droid repository the maintainers will check the source code. The small team of Tutanota mail app did away with Google in 2018 https://f-droid.org/2018/09/03/replacing-gcm-in-tutanota.html And as far as I know Signal messenger app is available without Google push but using websockets.

Thanks for pointing to documentation. The Arch Linux wiki just saved the day.

Nice to hear this 🙂 I love reading. Almost never watch videos, and I usually prefer listening to music audio only.

You did tag indeed, in the sense of just looking at the plain text of your post but it appears that Lemmy has not fully implemented all. Maybe indeed different front-ends having different implementations.
