I am sorry my comment offended you. I have deleted it. Thank you for sharing your view.

I have set up a good hand full of dual booted Windows/ Linux machines. Never had any major issues. However, I also noticed that I only use Linux except for games and that's slowly changing, too, so I would suggest trying the dual boot if it makes you more comfortable to realize yourself that you don't need it.

France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/

And politically as well though I can't pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.

Cool image slides! For my use case it is a bit too usage focused. I would like to find something that focuses a bit more on the "Not controlled by one" part and covering Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and such. I like your presentation style though!

The video is great and covers a lot of the information I would like to share, but it's sadly not professional enough for the use case I am thinking of. Still a great share! Thank you!

 

TL;DR: Please share links of public presentations about the Fediverse that provide an introduction to non-tech-savvy people showing the benefits and some examples like Lemmy.

Recently I have discovered Lemmy and with it the Fediverse - sure I heard of the Fediverse and Mastodon before, but I never really looked it up in detail, because it sounded like one of those projects that are really cool, but do not work because everyone keeps sticking to the big tech giants. However, now that I tried Lemmy for a couple of weeks, I feel like this does work and would like to spread the news a bit more.

For that I am looking for a nice set of slides that cover the Fediverse - and some examples like Lemmy - in such a way that students of different sciences can understand its purpose, advantages and disadvantages. I am aware that this is a bit low effort on my part as I could create such slides myself, but probably someone with more skill than me has done that already so...

EDIT: I just found https://u3acommunities.org/is-it-time-to-move-to-the-fediverse-followup/ which is very close to what I am looking for. Sadly, I can't find a download link for the slides to make some small edits (I feel like just using someone else's slides is fine as it is only for a private audience).

When I read the title before reading your message I thought "Oh well, guess it is time for part 2." and let's be honest: It is very realistic that with gAI-ish a lot of people stay dumb. It is difficult to learn and why should they if an AI wipes their ass?

Yes, it is absolutely valid that you decided to commercialise your project and keeping parts or all of the code closed. As I work in the public sector and we are encouraged to use open source and write open source software, my knowledge regarding closed software solutions is thin. Is there a "standard way" how closed software is able to guarantee private key safety? I could imagine solutions where there is a separate handler that is open source so that one can verify that only specific information is passed into the closed software area, but this doesn't sound feasible when talking about full terminal support within the closed software.

Again, there is nothing wrong with going commercial! I am sure I will release closed software (side projects), too, at some point.

Hey, I had my struggles with app icons as well when I wrote a small app for myself so I am not really equipped to create the PR (also due to current time limitations). If no one is found for that, I can give it a shot at the end of the year, but I am sure you will find someone sooner than that.

However, I know of a free icon website and have looked through their icons to suggest a few to you:

Uxwings license is amazing: https://uxwing.com/license/ you can use the icons for basically anything and can even alter them.

Personally, I like "Eye in "scanning square"" the most as it symbolizes the technical aspect of scanning/capturing the surroundings.

While I haven't used it yetis, there is also https://icon.kitchen/ for icon generation.

Giving it a quick scan, it does look interesting. I am not sure whether I will try it as I don't see the need to visualise beyond what I can do with a shell and the openstack dashboard, but there can definitely be use cases for it.

Not being FOSS is the deal-breaker though. Not sure if I am too much of a sceptic but I prefer open source when having software that accesses my private key/servers.

There's also https://github.com/revoltchat which is very discord-like but still lacks some vital features that are currently in development like screensharing (if I am not misremembering)

I tend towards: No. I can't know for sure, but given how pdfs are structured this sounds very difficult.

A workaround might be to automatically place white boxes over those, but you can probably still select the text underneath afterwards.

 

I know of the "Search" feature at the bottom and the "Local" "All" feature at the top - where local refers to the server you logged into.

However, to discover new communities, I like listing all the communities of a server, select a community to list all the posts and then take a look whether some posts are interesting. I could see using this to find communities I would like to subscribe to.

Am I just blind or is this core feature missing? In the web version this can be done by selecting a server>communities>select a community>go through the posts.
