          @dharmik@linuxusers.in It might be good to document (eg. in the issue tracker) what breaks in snac when you use toot.py with it, so that bugs could be fixed or missing features could be implemented.

            i come back home after a tiring day on windows to give my eyes some rest with xfce4 and arch linux. i copy something from vim to paste it into google because i can't find the issue, and damn—the realization hits that i still haven't figured out the register issue yet. there's no clipboard to copy things to. i love this life. can it go any better. :?

                  there are so many moments from the innovation village i can muse about—realizing that image urls didn’t work on windows locally because i built everything on my linux machine and github codespaces, messing up '/' and '\'. maxing out the cloudinary cdn right when @sarthak@linuxusers.in was testing it for the last time in the morning. and discovering features we never even thought should exist until we handed it to someone to try—like someone asking to clear the canvas and us having no idea how it should work.

                  one of the most fun moments was realizing that on macos, the delete key doesn’t actually send a delete key event in javascript but instead acts as backspace (been a windows guy most of the childhood and later fan of linux), which broke canvas element deletion. ironically, we used a mac for previews because of its good display, only to find out the canvas wasn’t working properly on it.

                      and i remember how great replit once was. you could just code, come up with a prototype, and share a link with anyone to try it. it was the real hacker era for people my age. there are a lot of people i follow from the peak replit days, and damn, it was a time. now they're on the ai hype train, making a service to prototype from natural language.

                      Question: do I update my stock photo with this screenshot (it has the shortcut to too)?

                      Disclaimer: Friendica & do not have official apps, so these are iOS shortcuts to URLs (of instances).

                      A reminder that this stock photo is for articles about the Fediverse, so it’s the most vanilla, KISS (Keep It Simple) version imaginable for people not familiar with the Fediverse. My *real* Fediverse folder has Ivory, Mona, Phanpy, Surf and Voyager.

                      Let me know your thoughts!

                          @_elena I completely understand your dilemma, but it is a moving target, so your choice is correct and valid as of today. A big part of the nature of the Fediverse as I understand it is its continuous evolution. Therefore a tiny onscreen disclaimer reading „*as of 02/2025“ might be an option. Or place a marker in the video editor’s timeline to quickly find and adjust the selection when you feel it‘s time for an updated render.

                                  I have created an account on friendica two days ago. It is nice and promising.

                                  One thing that I sorely miss from friendica is multifactor authentication 2FA.

                                  IMHO it would be nice to include them, however we should ask them to implement multi-factor authentication and debug the client-side code more because I can't even easily add a photograph as an avatar

                                  If you know how to add 2FA please tell me because I can't find it in the interface

                                                saying "yes, i am a person not wasting time upon" lowkey implies that anyone who spends time with you is just wasting theirs. this is so victim mentality. never make such a mistake—because in the end, all they do is sum it up as time wasted.

                                                i need to take this as a lesson and start working on myself. humans can be so selfish sometimes. but saying computers are the best because they never betray would be unfair to my true friends who stand by me regardless. i’ve never had to explain why we’re friends—we just know we are.

                                                  always choose an abundance mindset over scarcity. scarcity breeds envy, fear, and competition, while abundance creates growth, generosity, and endless possibilities. the world often reflects what we believe about it—seeing only limitations can make them feel even more real.

                                                      one thing that keeps me occupied is whether there's a limit to our thinking. if there is, we'd never know. this leads to the idea that we can only innovate up to a point, after which stagnation is inevitable. can we only imagine things that are possible? and if so, are any of our thoughts truly new?

                                                          and there are people who are making it. i just got to know about the existence of are.na and river app.

                                                                  That’s pretty much it, after several months, maybe even a year of wanting to take the leap, a couple days ago I finally did it. I just wanted to share this cuz I think it’s an absolute win, and I guess just see if anyone has any general advice to keep in mind during the process. I ended up choosing Fedora, right now I’m dual booting while I’m still in the process of finding software alternatives and getting everything set up, but trying to minimize my use of windows as much as possible, and so far I’ve been loving it. I love this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i’m really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.

                                                                            • Don’t rush to delete Windows; you’re doing the right thing keeping it about while you adjust to a new OS and in case there are some things you just can’t do in Linux
                                                                            • If you want to understand your OS and enjoy tinkering / learning, think about using a virtual machine to play with a linux system to get used to it. As you’re on Fedora, you can install KVM and Virt-Manager, make a virtual machine and inside it install another Linux OS which you can practice with. It can even be Fedora - and this can let you make changes in a disposable environment before you do them for real in your whole OS or just to see “what happens if”. I’ve even built an Arch system within a VM just so I can understand more of how linux works
                                                                            • Back up your home folder before making really big changes - this is where everything that belongs to you is kept, and even contains all your personal config files. Back up and restoring the Home folder can make things much faster to fix if you accidentally mess things up

                                                                              ...

                                                                              Allero »

                                                                                Kraiden »

                                                                                It makes everything else easier

                                                                                  ...

                                                                                  BananaTrifleViolin »

                                                                                    Lessons learned when switching:

                                                                                    Some things just work differently on Linux and it took time to figure out the differences. For instance, a change to a network interface config on Windows it usually takes effect when you hit the “OK” button. Linux requires toggling the interface for that change to take effect. That one took me a couple of frustrating hours to figure out. There are lots of other examples like this so keep it in mind if things aren’t working as you expect.

                                                                                    Trying to do absolutely everything on Linux right away was a mistake. I started switching back to Windows for quick tasks and then learning how to do those tasks on Linux when I could spend a few minutes figuring them out. Over time I spent more and more time running Linux and one day realized I hadn’t started Windows in months.

                                                                                    In addition to (or instead of) dual booting, create a virtual machine to allow you to use what you need in either OS without rebooting.

                                                                                    Lastly, if you find that you’re spending a lot of time fixing OS problems don’t be afraid to try something else. Haven’t spent much time with Fedora, but I use Mint daily because I don’t have to fuss with the OS much. Others in my household have more problems with Windows 11.

                                                                                      ...

                                                                                                  Handling such distros well requires specialized knowledge around them in particular, and not all common Linux solutions will fit.

                                                                                                          I made the switch in 2010.

                                                                                                          I dual booted for a while, one day I realised that I hadn’t booted into windows for 3 months. At that point I reinstalled, no more dual booting. I haven’t looked back.

                                                                                                          I keep a windows VM, currently has Win10 installed, I haven’t had to use it in about 3 years.

                                                                                                          My advice is, keep dual booting. One day you’ll realise that booting into windows feels like a chore, you haven’t done it in months, so why keep it around…
