just sayin'
  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    About page for instances

    Often I want to check out an instance and read about the meta community and maintainers of the instance. Is there a place in the UI where I can find this, or is there a convention to have some community (named “meta”?) with a meta description about the instance?

    Visual distinction in thumbnail between images and web pages

    As the title says. A small indicator in the corner of the thumbnail would be helpful. I believe Apollo also did that.

    PvdA en GroenLinks met één lijst de verkiezingen in
    nos.nl PvdA en GroenLinks met één lijst de verkiezingen in, leden stemmen massaal voor

    Een ruime meerderheid wil met een gezamenlijke lijst en één verkiezingsprogramma meedoen op 22 november.

    PvdA en GroenLinks met één lijst de verkiezingen in, leden stemmen massaal voor

    Wat heeft dit voor gevolgen? Als de gecombineerde lijst het grootst wordt, komt er dan een premier van 1 van de partijen of iemand die beide vertegenwoordigt?

    Hiding NSFW posts not working

    Anyone else seeing this?

    I have the configuration for hiding NSFW-flagged content enabled but when I browse posts I do see them in the feed (blurred and marked with a “!” so it seems they are flagged correctly).
