Works great!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! :)

 

The current sort order defaults to "hot", but it would helpful to allow a per-profile default comment sort order (e.g. to select "old" as the default or "new" for that matter).

This feature isn't present in Lemmy or Reddit, but it's something I personally missed a lot on both those platforms.

This is not an internet issue, this is a socio-political issue.

We have yet to figure out new modes of governance, economic relations and political systems that take in account the reality of a society with universal, high quality ICT access.

The fact that it is far easier to spread misinformation is a social issue, not a technological issue. It's driven by the fact that US technology oligarch only care about engagement and they hold no responsibility for their actions (and cannot be prosecuted due to broad support for corruption and criminality in American society).

Haven't used Kubuntu so can't help you with that.

Regarding installing application from 3rd parties, there is no guaranteed way to know that what you're installing is clean.

That being said, I would argue basic evaluations (how long has the project been around, does it get mentioned a lot in articles and forums, are there a lot of star and activity on the guthub page?) should be good enough for regular operational security.

One other general tip, try using Gemini (the LLM by Google) for real-time support and explanations around Kubuntu. I find it helpful for guidance on complex applications (ones that are far more niche than Kubuntu).

An excellent return on the $99 spent. :)

Funny to see a YT-style video from 1995.

I was curious about Yggdrasil and I found this little piece of history on Wikipedia:

A beta release was made on 18 February 1993.[4][7] The beta's cost was US$60. LGX's beta release in 1993 contained the 0.99.5 version of the Linux kernel, along with other software from GNU and X.[7] By 22 August 1993, the Yggdrasil company had sold over 3100 copies of the LGX beta distribution.[8]

Yggdrasil made $186,000 selling CDs with a beta version. Making CDs was probably much more expensive back then, but I am sure they got a volume discount for a run of ~3,000 units.

The release version was $99!

I tried OrganicMaps, but it was noticeably less usable than Google Maps.

When you actually need maps on mobile, UX issues and jank becomes extremely annoying.

Thanks for the quick turn-around!

Cheers!

 

In Lemmy, you hide text blocks behind a spolier ":::" tag:

Go to: https://lemmy.world/c/hardware, and you'll get the following via the (default?) Lemmy webUI:

Sidebar with Lemmy UI

If you go to https://piefed.social/c/hardware@lemmy.world (!hardware@lemmy.world) via the Piefed webUI you get the following view in the same siderbar:

If possible, it would be helpful to have the spoiler tag work in Piefed webUI as well.

 

Hi,

As I understand the technology topic uses the following hierarchy:

Hierarchy

With the following communities being part of the "Hardware" subtopic:

communities

Would it be possible to add:

!hardware@lemmy.world
!laptops@lemmy.world
!gaminglaptops@lemmy.world
!monitors@piefed.social

Cheers!

I am not even sure if I have senior mod status in the the community I moderate/curate/

[–] Rekall_Incorporated@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Would be interested in learning about this as well.

I think Lemmy is supposed to have this, but I am not sure.

I see.

Thank you for opening the issue!

 

Recent versions of Lemmy have the ability to set a custom thumbnail for a post:

Is this possible with PieFed? This is especially helpful when some sites fail to get a thumbnail (e.g. YT videos is a common one).
