There is always an element of risk to 3rd party batteries. That said, a reputable supplier that warranties the battery for a period should be fine. In my experience OEM batteries generally lasts longer and use better quality components.

So it is up to you to decide if the price premium is worth it in your use case.

Life time warranties do contribute significantly to a buy it for life decision. Lets take automotive tools. I use mainly Gedore tools to maintain my vehicles. A few years ago I found a clapped out, worn, ratchet in a second hand toolbox I bought. Took it to my local dealer to find out about replacing the mechanism and they outright replaced the ratchet with a brand new one. At no cost to me and I was not even the first owner.

My own set Gedore of sockets and spanners are still in perfect condition after 20+ years of use. Yes I paid double store brand prices back in the late 90s for them, but I am sure they will be heirloom tools one day.

It really depends on what you are buying, but lifetime warranties does contribute to the decision.

I have seen the same behaviour on my mobile browser. Desktop seems to not have rhe issue. Error when upvotiing, fixed by a page reload followed by an immediate upvote.

Just got Elite Dangerous running today on my fresh Ubuntu. Loaded the modules for the z52 hotas, copied my bindings from my windows instance and there she flies. That makes 3 out o3 for my most played games in Ubuntu.

So far ED is running flawlessly. I need an equivalent for ED market connector though. But that can be manual gor the moment.

Agreed on your point. We need a way to identify those links so that our browser or app can automatically open them through our own instance.

I am thinking along the lines of a registered resource type, or maybe a central redirect page, hosted by each instance, that knows how to send you to your instance to view the post there.

I am sure it is a problem that can be solved. I would however not be in favour of some kind of central identity management. It is to easy a choke point and will take autonomy away from the instances.

That should just work. You view the post on your own instance and reply there. That reponse trickles to the other instances.

It may take a while to propagate though. The paradigm is close to that of the ancient nntp news groups where responses travel at the speed of the server's synchronisation. It may be tricky for rapid fire conversation, but works well for comments of articles.

That approaches my current workflow. View all with federation, view subscriptions with federation and repeat without.

It would be nice to have that as options on the home screen, but it is not an urgent priority.

Agreed, I installed Ubuntu 22.04 last week to play with stable diffusion. Decided to have a quick look at steam / proton and was blown away with how easily it works. Fallput 76, my primary online game installed and run with almost no hassle. I even managed to get a long time irritation with runaway frame rates fixed.

The only glitch that remains unsolved is a hang on exit. Which is a known issue.

I loved Scalzi's Old man war series. Good entertaining sci fi, with some interesting questions to ponder under the stories.

There is an important distinction that we must make. Community vs application.

My experience is like yours, made an account on lemmy, beehaw and here. When we saw the Reddit writing on the wall. The community here has been so much fun interacting with, that I have mostly stayed here.

The software is in its infancy and that is exciting. Tricky and maybe a little unstable, but conceptually exactly what I have wanted for ages. It will get there eventually. Ernest and team has been doing a spectacular job keeping the loghts on.

I expect that we will get many different aggregators for federated content as the platform matures.

I double posted a few times before I figured this one out. I am sure it will get sorted pretty soon.

This is a fact and a half. Ihave been using linux on and off for a headless Minecraft server. Vanilla Debian. Yesterday I decided to load up the latest Ubuntu lts, to run stable diffusion. My first end user linux install in ages. And it was a 15 minute seamless experience. From boot ISO to running a normal functioning desktop. Add another hoiur and stable diffusion was up and running. A far cry from building slackware from, from source, in the early 2000s. It truly is amazing when we consider what has been achieved.
