This definitively was not in my 2024 Bingo card:

IDK how easy it still is these days.

Hell, trolls could go around and recreate accounts on the top 100 instances with the same username users have on other instances to prevent them from reusing the same username elsewhere, just that is a weird concept to explain

Yes but that doesn't mean you should get automatic dibs on a name everywhere. It's just a name. If you are Joe Bill at lemm.ee, that does not give you any rights over the name Joe Bill all across the world. Statistically speaking, there's at least 18 thousand other Joe Bills around at this very moment.

Like, this is something that is already solved by the instance's moderators.

Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting [email protected]?

There's over 1400 people solely in the US named Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks The Celebrity does not get patent rights or trademarks or copyrights on the name.

Wanna know which is the Tom Hanks The Celebrity? Check if their profile is authenticated against their personal website, à-la-Mastodon.

A toot is literally the sound of a birb. It's got more comfy than "tweet" does.

Yeah definitively sounds like even more support for Rust and/or Python in this sense.

True, but mindful: one data (well, one datum, to compare with one anecdote) does not statistics make.

Languages

C.

Frameworks

C.

That said, Python and Rust are great for setting up "starting up" / "small task" apps and growing up from there.

Sounds like a good idea in theory, but in practice would kill the entire usefulness of the subscribed view if people have to subscribe to entire magazines / communities / whatever only to vote on one particular stuff in them that is relevant to them.

Oh, and for the record, linux is ALSO a confusing hot mess for the average person. But until linux developers accept this,

I've heard the same kind of stuff about lots... lots of things that "will never catch on". Every one of those doomsayers were wrong. Some of them unfortunately, but still, they were all wrong.

God I wish someone went and finally fixed that. It's incredible that of all the FOSS and community stuff you can find on the internet, lemmy is the big one that can't even remotely be browsed via w3m / elinks / anything-without-Javascript.

Today in our newest take on "older technology is better": why NAT rules!

 

Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.
