When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.

Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.

I run it on Ubuntu and installed it with apt about 7 years ago and had zero problems, it updates itself when I run apt upgrade, it turns itself off for a couple of seconds and then it’s back up.

One cool thing is that I had no idea that this happened until I just read it on their blog even though me, my friends and family use Matrix extensively.

But all my friends who are on Matrix host their own servers because it’s quite easy, and my family uses my own server, only my brother uses a matrix.org account, but he doesn’t write much.

This is decentralization working as it’s supposed too, when enough participants are federated and not centralized.

On Lemmy the lemmy.world and the piefed.social instances are similar to matrix.org and I think all of them, including mastodon.social should close new registrations. I mean the flagship instances have their place in the beginning, but once they become so big they should be locked. The teams behind them can open another instance if they want to keep growing, but they should be run on a separate infrastructure to prevent bringing them down at the same time.

I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

For the first time, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued policy announcements in documents only accessible via domestic software last week

There was a possibility to start sharing in a open format so everyone can read it. But they chose to use one even more closed then Microsofts format.

It’s like saying:

I don’t care about morality, I only care about legality.

To me it does matter because I can’t upload pictures to comments.

You are on Lemmy, I’m on PieFed

Why is your wife’s best friend in bed with you and her?

That’s a thing the Koreans do, putting beans on everything and in everything:

• ice cream https://stellanspice.com/patbingsoo/
• bread https://kimkimcooking.com/korean-sweet-red-bean-bread/
  Etc.

That is interesting, I just checked and your image is indeed hosted by PieFed itself and not by any external service like I assumed that the 3rd party apps would implement as a workaround.

I can see it, But in PieFed I can’t upload one.

I do, that’s the only one I can remember which I can embed easily here.

What are the alternatives? I wish I could just upload images for comments in PieFed.

I’m also looking for something like that, I’m afraid of their closed source software. As a workaround right now I’m trying to move everything to some open source stuff which I can run in docker on that hardware.

Done.

In the last two days every time I read some weird take which logically just doesn’t make sense, on something it’s the same person posting it.

I don’t think this user will get better at posting, probably the easiest way is to block him so they stop waisting my time.

Even if you’re right, release the Epstein files!

Thanks for the downvotes.

Here is the app which chatgtp created: https://gist.github.com/jeena/9df0f9b59cec1225bed21223353c9137

And here is a video me using it: https://tube.jeena.net/w/b1nYhmdarbNMWcN18aUm4P

It took a bit longer because I had to bring my son to kindergarten in between.
