I am sorry if I misunderstood you. Would you mind explaining the line about evolving? It seemed to imply to me that there is a possible (better?) future state of things?
It would be neat if different front-ends catered to different types of users who wanted different aspects, but that there was an underlying compatibility that also worked better. If I understand it correctly, mastodon has implemented activitypub in a way where each post doesnt hold a reference to the entire thread hierarchy (as lemmy has), so it's difficult for mastodon software to construct hierarchies of replies in the same way, or at least it's more expensive to traverse. There's some differences in how groups are interpreted, as a hash tag or as a community. I'd rather be able to use one account and have the option to view activities in different ways, but now the implementations differ. That's the interoperability I mean that doesn't defeat decentralization.
How do you mean? To me a network is decentralized if there isn't one controlling company or organization. In the fediverse, I can set up my own instance of mastodon/lemmy/honk/whatever. The fact that I can use honk to follow people on mastodon and interact with them in a smooth way is interoperability to me. I don't need both a honk account and a mastodon account. This is a good thing imho. I can choose which software to run, or which home server to join, and still interact with people using different servers.
Could this be an XY problem? Maybe instead of having several accounts and a way to log in everywhere easily, the problem is lacking interoperability? It's hard to follow lemmy from mastodon, for example, but what if that was easy? Then you wouldn't need both a lemmy account and a mastodon account, one would be enough to use different aspects of the fediverse.
I checked the news in the biggest newspaper in sweden, and there's this story about a bus that scraped the roof while driving under a bridge. Must have been scary for the passengers. Luckily it wasn't going that fast. And there's a list of schools where you actually get paid to study so you don't need student loans.
Indeed. I believe most users will just switch to flathub. Sort of how most users will install some codecs, but it can't legally be included in the base install.
It's about making sure you know what is inside the flatpaks. If you make your own set of flatpaks, you can distribute them with the OS. It's not that fedora flatpaks aren't distro-agnostic, you can use them on any distro. They just want a set where they can verify the build process and trust.
I have a second hand pixel with graphene, but what we really need is something that isn't downstream of google. If enough people switched to graphene so that it actually hurt google, I'm sure they could do things to make life hard for alternative android based systems.
Same. I have installed so many systems that I just want the defaults to be what I'm used to. The OS itself is just a tool to let me work on the things I actually find interesting.
I've read the arguments and trust the people who know far more than I do about this, but... I just find it difficult to think of "unlocks automatically" as more safe than "is locked until I enter my password". I'm open for it, but it just feels strange to me.
Thank you :) It doesn't adhere to a specific ductus, but somewhere along Foundational but making my own style I guess? Later some blackletter and uncial too here and there.
Calligraphy just kind of means "pretty writing", it's not bound to a specific style. Edward Johnston used the term "penmanship" more often. Cursive means that the letters are formed in a "running" way, as opposed to the many times you have to lift the nib in some other styles.
Even the romans had a cursive form of the letters we now refer to as "capitals" or "upper case".
The urge to distrohop can be a distraction, but an itch that needs to be scratched now and then. I tend to always end up where I started, but when I do I feel better about it.
