Out of curiosity is there a FOSS (add-free) short form video type social media?
  • loops.video is in development, from the same dev who did Pixelfed

  • Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH
  • This is the answer! Most people will not ever install a new operating system.

  • How to get rid of the Indian curse?
  • To be honest, I’m Irish and it seems to me colonialism influences a country to cling to their cultural practices more fiercely. Couple that with massive inter-generational trauma. In the case of Ireland, unfortunately that meant we had a brutal theocracy for decades after the British left.

    I think the only reason Ireland is in any way more progressive now is because they let us join the European Union, and they gave us money!

    Anyway I think you sound like a great person and the best of luck. I emigrated myself too, to England ironically…

  • What's Your Favorite IRC Client, and Why?
  • Self hosted ‘The Lounge’ is great.

  • Faircamp setup help
  • That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?

    And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?

    If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the #faircamp tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…

    If not, you could try making an issue here: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues

  • Faircamp setup help
  • Hm, if it thinks the font is Courier my guess is TextEdit is adding a file extension (like .rtf or something)

    It needs to be just a .eno … maybe it’s like .eno.txt ?

    You might be able to check that from Finder? But if not, you can see exactly what’s in your Faircamp folder (once you have used cd (current directory) to get in there) with this command:

    ls

    which lists everything in your current directory

  • Faircamp setup help
  • If you’re working from something like my tutorial here, all the Linux instructions and commands will be the same using Brew + Terminal :)

  • Faircamp setup help
  • Hello! If you’ve installed it with brew, you have faircamp working (no need for Linux). Are you familiar with Terminal? And how to use “cd” to move around? Is that what you mean by “point it to” your faircamp folder? For example, you would just type “cd /path/to/your/faircamp/folder”

    It doesn’t matter where the faircamp folder is, it will build the site wherever you run the faircamp —preview command. (Sorry my phone isn’t formatting this correctly, there are two hyphens before “preview” 😆)

  • iOS app suggestions for mastodon
  • Not sure about official Mastodon app, but I am following loads of hashtags on Mastoot.

  • FOSS alternative to Discord?
  • Matrix is good but it feels more like a WhatsApp group or something. Definitely room there to have a client that’s more fun, like Discord

  • IRC Clients
  • Only tried issri on CLI Linux… Hexchat on windows I couldn’t eve get to connect lol. What are people using to keep IRC open, so you can look back on chats? Pretty new to it

  • iOS app suggestions for mastodon
  • Yep Ice Cubes is great, you can have loads of timelines on there if you want. Mastoot is also great, really nice to use and easy on the eye.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yeah same, I had a terrible impression of Reddit until I actually created an account so I could stick to the “non-horrible” subreddits. But it just always felt a little… gross.

    For Lemmy, I could tell blahaj.zone was gonna be cool. Been following loads of blahaj accounts already, on my Masto. My impression is we’re all interested in creating a welcoming & interesting space here 💜

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I changed to Metager https://metager.org/ … it’s the only one I’ve found that still respects yer "string search"

  • Lemmy is blowing up
  • I think Peertube does that! It’s usually pretty smooth…

  • What distro(s) do you use?
  • I heard AV Linux was built on MX…

  • rule
  • Knew there had to be an evolutionary reason for hands. Thx

  • Anyone using AV Linux?
  • Fair. And I’m now addicted to installing things in CLI anyway, ‘cause Windows store is a buggy nightmare

  • Anyone using AV Linux?
  • Nice, yeah AV Linux comes with a lot of pre-installed stuff so hoping it’s as easy as it seems :) I do like to tinker but not when I’m supposed to be doing other work haha

  • Anyone using AV Linux?

    I’m looking into it for making music, streaming & VJ-ing. Wondering if it’s the type of distro that “just works”, or if you end up tinkering a lot? Would love to hear your experiences.

    do you think the fediverse could replace popular social media
  • I hope so. Especially with greater interoperability between Fedi apps. That’s a real potential benefit compared to corporate social media — even to those who don’t care about independence and decentralisation

  • melmel melmel @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    Hallo Lemmy. I'm also on @meljoann@topspicy.social
