    I believe mastodon instance would need to federate both with the solarpunk server op is posting from and lemmy.world, and then you’d find the account that essentially is this community and mirrors activity from this comm as though theyre individual mastodon posts, and you’d need to find the right one and hit boost

    Maybe theres an easier way. You may be able to post to this comm from your mastodon account to establish the link

    I’d be curious if someone more knowlegable could chime in with a better understand





  • I’m just using fedora with gnome at the moment. And I control it with antimicro x. Though the gnome extension I liked best for typing on screen with the mouse isn’t available on the latest version of gnome. A Bluetooth keyboard would be nice.

    (Technically right now I more often just use it as a second display for my laptop with an HDMI cable running across the living room and don’t bother with the controller, using the trackpad and keyboard. But it was working nice also when I left my laptop plugged in sitting below the TV :)


  • I mean, it feels pretty intentional that the fish team keeps adding syntax compatibility commonly used in bash… 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Which personally as a fish user focused on the user friendliness of fish as an interactive shell, I really appreciate- it being less likely users have to worry about syntax differences while keeping the better scripting language design is really nice.

    Not sure theres any good way to describe what they’ve been doing other than “improving compatibility”. Is that not what theyre doing?


  • I… I think that might not be working on my install… I keep getting out of memory crashes that hang my laptop and I’m not really technical enough to solve it so I’ve just been living with it until I reinstall and try to set everything back up, or distro hop again

    I wonder if I configured something wrong at install or broke it at some point tinkering…












  • Aside from devices that acknowledge theyre listening all the time there actually isnt any, for undisclosed data collection via microphone specifically. Research has, to my knowledge, never found that to be the case

    Researchers have generally explained that they dont need to listen to what you say with a microphone- they collect so much data about you they can accurately model what you’re likely to have any interest in, and when that happens frequently enough confirmation bias takes over.

    That being said, yes, that person is having all of their data collected, by meta directly and through cookies tracking them around the web. By google and android. By ai, and other companies. By the tracking images in the emails they open. Etc. Theres lots of evidence for all of those things

    And there is evidence for companies having collected data that people didnt concent to, like when google tracked location data that people opted out of sharing (there was a lawsuit) or meta recently ended up in the news for circumventing the sandboxing around the Facebook app to collect mobile web activity in a way they’re not supposed to be able to.
