Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
  • For me its startet for some years ago with Mastodon,then I grew into the fediverse (I didn't know anything about it) and now I use loops.video (stil its made for doomscroling) mastodon, Lemmy and pixelfed. Loops I think I'm to old to use that much, (to fast for me) but else I'm really happy with the social media. I haven't been on a mainstream SOME for 3 years.

  • All of us waiting for Loops.video
  • I don't think we have to expect that it will have the same success as tiktok , but a strong alternative. Sometimes I just want to consume , and there is pixelfed and probably loops a good alternative, because its not full of influencers, ads, and so on. Just like YouTube once just was people making vids, the good old times.

  • All of us waiting for Loops.video

    Well I have signed up for Loops, the federated tiktok alternative. I signed up on Monday and haven't still a mail about how to start, after the signup. So I'm writing this to hear from others, who have signed up for loops, whathavet you experience with the signup, have you got both mails, or are you just like me still waiting and looking for news all the time on Mastodon? Maybe we could help each other, be patience together and yir discuss loops and talk about the hopes we have for the tiktok alternative.

    Are you a computer/tech person?
  • I'm just a regular person. I'm learning everyday about the fediverse, what its capable of. But its actuality only around 3-4years since I got into this rabbit hole. I used to in my younger days to think that FOSS is to nerdy😄im excited to get more into the FOSS and Fediverse world!

  • Use ofSecurity' key from Yubico?
  • I have now looked into Nitrokey, and I'm convinced that I will get me one of these. I would use it to log in to my pc, which has Fedora 40.I do I understand it right, that i f I follow the steps in the following link, I can use it to log into my PC?

  • Use ofSecurity' key from Yubico?

    I wanna make more of myaccounts in the internet secure with two factor. I don't know much about it, but found out about Fido 2 and so. The security key my webbrowser shows often is the one from Yubico (BTW, I would like to get one that works with Linux, with USB and for phone with NFC) I got concerned when I noticed that Yubico is from USA, (??) Because I think NSA and thibgs like five eyes and so. Is there actually a risk that the for example is made an backdoor in the key?

    MusicPod

    I wanted a podcast player that looks great and could be used in my region, with Fedora. So I found Musicpod as flatpack and downloaded it. But when I open it, and want to add podcast it says "It looks like your computer isn't connected to the internet" so I can't search. My internet is connected, I use other apps, without problem. Its on Fedora 40, with VPN on. Anything I have to change,or do you recognize this issue?

BUT, i see the same slugs i cut in half in the compost heap, and doing a great job,getting our waste in the best dirt for the garden. What would you do? Still cut those,or just leave them?

    Pros and cons for an extra phone number (dual Sim)

    Every time I buy something online, or make an account for an example month bus ticket, they "need" my phone number. I always use alias emails, but I don't have an alias phone number. I know, there are some online phone nr service, but they mostly dosnt work, outside of the US. So I was thinking about getting me a second nr, just for thoese cases were I have to log in. I would by the nr, in cash, and there is nothing data they have to make the nr. But what are your thoughts? What do you see as pros and cons for getting a second nr.? Does it even make sense, when the simcard is in the same phone?

    Stickers for attention about privacy.

    I know, its not really something with privacy but, I want to get people more involved in or getting more interest in privacy, and maybe advertise for privacy with stickers. Well mostly to give to people and to stick on my laptop. Do you know some website (in the EU) where to get those?

    proton VPn

    Hey! Ive just got Fedora 39 on my PC. I'm new into Linux, but I liked the way Fedora looks and so on. But as a former windows user, I was glad to use Proton VPN. On windows it just worked well, and my local Broadcaster homepage didn't notice that I was using, Secure Core, via example Switzerland though a server in my country. But now, when I use Proton VPN in fedora, the broadcaster notice that my internet goes via another country, and dosnt let me whatch. I juse the App I found on Flatpak. Is there something I should investigate more , of some easy tweaks to make it work well again?
