selectively purge the modlog
Now this would be a good reason to defederate from an instance. Modlog is what keeps mods consistent (right now I don’t like the Lemmy.ml mods rulebrick but at least they were open about what they don’t like).
A user’s ability to participate in a Linux community should not depend on them refraining from posting criticism about China or Russia.
I agree 100% with this statement. That’s not enough of a reason to defederate in my opinion. We need a better /c/Linux on our instance. It’s just that Lemmy.ml has more FOSS lovers.
There’s no need to defederate from Lemmy.ml. I rarely see their content on the front page of Lemmy.world. The other day someone complained that Lemmy.ml users were brigading a different thread. I counted three users with a ml domain…
We have different admins and mods, everything is working as intended. The issue is people bringing up tankies, communists, and China every three posts. Yes, we get it, the benevolent people who wrote us this software are communists. They allow us to have different mods and admins, there is no problem here.
Honestly, I wouldn’t post to /c/worldnews@lemmy.ml even though I’m happy with how pro-Palestine those people are. The only community I look at Lemmy.ml is /c/linux@lemmy.ml. It’s not their fault no one posts to the Lemmy.world instance.
I think it’s time to start banning users who troll other instances and cross pollinate the fediverse with drama.
@dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de MicroOs (Gnome version called Aeon and KDE version called Kalpa) will make OS updating and installing programs as easy as Android. MicroOS is essentially a locked down version of Tumbleweed (that sacrifices being able to customize for ease of maintenance).
The base is there. Linux is as easy as Windows at the moment for MOST tasks. Yes, it’s nice that the manufacture set up the drivers on Windows but that is not the fault of Linux. The OpenSuse installer is very good at recognizing hardware off a clean install.
edit: grammar
Yes, but same applies on windows. Window still needs to be maintained as well.
Personally, I think we reached the point where most users would be fine. Once they switch, then the more professional applications will come.
I wish Tumbleweed would be used more. It’s easy to install (but the installer is being rewritten anyways). Also, I have updated it on a laptop that was 2 years behind (because of lack of use). It updated perfectly and even proprietary software like Zoom just worked.
2023 was the year of the Linux Desktop. Wayland + pipewire gives us a base to have modern features but it took a long time to reach this point.
Wasn’t Facebook proven to give misleading information that led old people to vote for Trump that was ultimately from Russia propaganda sources? Where’s the Meta ban?
Yes, that’s the point. These politicians interfere and meddle and cry “free market” when it is convenient for them.
Might as well be the offical preamble of the Constitution (or at least the more conventional “rules for thee, not for me”).
Are we in a “free market” or we not? The answer is “depends on what lobbyists want.”
I get upgrades help the bottom line but considering that 8GB of RAM chokes the silicon they are allegedly so proud of… seems like a slap in the face to their own engineers (and the customer as well but that is not my point).
I don’t know if you understood my original post, it was too get an alternative to an enterprise distro with vendor paid support. In this regard the alternatives to Debian are more OpenSuse and Rocky, not RHEL (this is not a comparison of quality).
Yeah, the other alternative would be to set up a consultation company that is based around Debian. I guess that is what Dataport is supposed to be then, the support. It’s s different route but still works.
Good to know. I did not realize that this team was this large. I hope it works out.
Nix does have an interesting package manager.
The states are paying them to support a desktop, not an OS to run whatever on.
Don’t they need money to fund both aspects? Is there any support to lean on someone goes with Nix?
A lot of governments in the US pretty much go through Microsoft for simplicity. There’s a lot of software obtained from a single vendor. I suppose that’s why rhel is so popular.
I wonder what they will choose for their base. I was surprised LiMux was based off Debian since Suse is headquartered in Luxembourg City. I personally would welcome a large organization choosing Suse products as we need more competition for RHEL (which would be a huge boon in productivity since we won’t need like 3 projects to spend a decent amount of time repackaging RHEL).
Asking the real questions…
Definitely hero. Love is real only if it hurts. He’ll come back stronger and be the hero we need… and probably the best hero we deserve too.
This may sound cheesy but this list is the healthy way to solve the issue people had with Lemmy.ml moderation. Thank you for compiling it, I didn’t reliaze there were instances for programming and anime. Glad to see a solution where we didn’t have to go through the adults (admins and mods in this case).
Also, it’s healthy for the fediverse to see communities spread on to many instances but it does make Lemmy harder for your average redditor to understand (but long term goal of a healthy fediverse is more important).
Also !greentext@sh.itjust.works is a bit more active than !4chan@lemmy.world
