The term “unalive” is so cringey yet dystopian that I don’t know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.

As long as there’s centralization and data brokering, there will always be a capitalization. It’s basically the only logical path forward for a service that isn’t decentralized or running as a charity.

The windows kernel isn’t all that great, particularly in the realm of memory security or scheduling.

You know, to each their own. Question is really whether windows maintaining a closed source kernel even makes sense from a maintenance burden perspective when it really doesn’t give them much money in return. (Most of their money in 2025 comes from cloud services, not operating systems)

Probably. In all honestly, if you are a hexbear user, I’d be keeping a careful eye on who owns the domain when it magically pops back up.

It is sad that they don’t at least have the courage to be honest about their stance: they legitimately thought that trump was better than harris for Gaza and now they have egg on their face. To which I say, enjoy the leopards – they have a thing for egged faces.

The best path forward is that developers make their linux drivers before they release their hardware to the market. You know, like what they do for windows.

There’s no silver bullet here. You have to wait for someone to reverse engineer the drivers if the developers of the hardware don’t care enough to supply even basic linux driver support. Either that or linux becomes so popular that it becomes senseless to ignore it (let’s be real though, MacOS is popular enough for this to be true and yet there’s still new hardware made that ignores that platform too.)

I don’t actually see the fediverse as being any more extreme than any other corner of the internet.

I mean, my issue is that most buttons on my huion are still non bindable, and some graphical interfaces cannot be interacted with in mouse mode and only register as touch. Lastly, occasionally programs completely ignore pen sensitivity, such as blender.

This experience was when I was last on gnome. I’ve been on budgie for a while as a result of needing a tablet for my hobbies.

The lack of proper tablet support in wayland prevents me from being excited for this. I wish there was more news on that front.

Centralization is a weakness

While I agree with the basic premise of this, I think this is all-the-more a good reason for design solutions around this problem to be discussed so that more competitors can exist. If the fediverse is to expand, there needs to be easy non-technical ways for users to start up a multitude of instances. More of these types of services actually reduces centralization, in that sense.

Corporate internet doesn’t even filter out “uncomfortable” shit for people. They have a vested interest in keeping people engaged whether it’s through love or hate.

This is a misconception I see all the time. Reddit et al try their hardest to make browsing feel like a roller coaster to keep up engagement.

What type of storage are you buying that only costs you pennies?

Every time I went to buy amazon storage, I was always disappointed by the price. Glacier is the only affordable one, but Backblaze is probably better storage for personal use anyway.

Oh yes, I forgot about negative values.

Got his friends out of Jail, quid pro quo.

Whatever reason they don’t isn’t a very good one when there’s already excuses being made around AT proto not being scalable beyond a single app.

ActivityPub works today and we are using it right now. There’s basically no incentive to make a new protocol if you aren’t willing to support more than 1 platform that uses it.

I’m not even a bluesky hater, but you have to question why they’re choosing to reinvent the wheel other than disliking the lack of agency that comes with making a (essentially) proprietary protocol. You have to wonder if they ever truly plan to federated at all or if it’s all just lip-service.

Make sure that any exit ventilation isn’t frozen over for the heater. My heater used to do a similar thing and I always thought the heater was broken, but it was actually as simple as the output pipe freezing over due to condensation build up which caused the heater to turn off automatically. Fixing this involves me installing a electrically warmed pipe extender before heavy snow or ice conditions.

Damn, too soon. Let’s at least give it another 2065 years!

It’s very strange that you’ve made a post about bugs but chose not to list any of the bugs.

Like, how can we make a recommendation if we don’t know what types of issues you’re running into? What type of hardware you have? What expectations you have?

It just kind of screams of disgruntled user syndrome. These are community lead projects so, yes, they’ll have bugs. But if people never say what they are or what issues they had with what they used, the best the rest of us can do is just guess!
