Haha nice! I remember playing the prototype ❤️
Looking forward to the release 👌


Just FYI, with Threads becoming part of the Fediverse, both this account and the one on Threads (threads.net/@gaming0nlinux) will stick.

I think giving people the option to directly follow on either platform is the best bet. Options are nice right?

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Hm I dont know. In the long run a third path might be to have an own fedi instance running on the gaming on linux infra and push to threads and the fedi.

Like @news@gamingonlinux.com that serves both with just the same account and at best the comments of the social media posting are shared with the comments on the GoL site.

I mean thats what the fediverse is all about - not to copy things all over the place, but post them once and find+react to them everywhere. :blobcatgooglyfingerguns:

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

It's not like you need to manage anything more then you do right now. I dont say you should set up a mastodon server 😁
For example we have wordpress for now that just can act as fediverse instance and do essentially this and I imagine the services that provide this functionality to grow, once threads and tumblr are able to receive content from the fediverse.

@fabiscafe GOL is entirely custom code, we cannot just add a plugin, it takes research and implementation and really offers very little over just posting to Mastodon
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I do understand your point. However I dont know why you bring up mastodon now.
What I say is that "in future" (that is not right now for obvios reasons) there might be an opportunity to have an option to push to a lot more services via just one fediverse account. :blobcatgooglyfingerguns:
in reply to Fabian【ファビアン】🏳️‍🌈

@fabiscafe that is exactly what is possible now, anyone on the fedi that doesn't block mastodon social can follow directly here, right now, there's really almost no gain from hooking up the website directly
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

In the future the fediverse also includes threads, tumblr and probably even more that can be served just from a fediverse account.
This is not possible right now. Threads is currently only read-only from this side and tumblr not even integrated at all.

EU’s use of Microsoft 365 found to breach data protection rules

An investigation into the European Union’s use of Microsoft 365 has found the Commission breached the bloc’s data protection rules through its use of the cloud-based productivity software.

The Commission. (27 commissioners.) Not the entirety of the Union.
Kinda might want to clarify that.

I just finished a piggy bank for my almost-two-year-old. It's made of solid oak, and opens with the correct 3 digit code. I designed the locking pins such that the code can easily be changed.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!



Did you know that #Germans have a LOT of #superstitions about #bread?

In the olden days, when bread was baked at home, bad luck would seep into the bread when one cursed while baking.

And if the loaf would be placed over the table's edge, sickness would soon enter the house.

A loaf placed upside down would sway, because the poor souls would try to turn it, & if the head of the house cut the bread crookedly, then he had just lied...

in reply to mythologyandhistory

haha yeah that's the catch 😀

But no, you can make a soda bread (a traditional unyeasted bread) or offer the bread that failed to rise, but who knows what they'll think of that?



Putting all of my federated Threads accounts into a Mastodon list. And just like that, one of the benefits of Threads supporting the Fediverse is happening in real-time.

I now can view them all in one Mastodon list view TODAY, or add them to multiple lists TODAY, even while lists are a feature not yet here on Threads.

Fediverse Threads support for the win.



It's good to see the response from KDE is we fucked up, we know we fucked up, now we're going to start working on a solution, not "oh it's just a one off, it's not that big of a deal"

sometimes its not the issue or mistake or whatever that matters most to me ... its how its handled... I give credit (will see if they follow through) to KDE for this, versus what Canonical keeps doing with the malware in the snap store
in reply to Brodie Robertson

it is good they’re working on it. Paul Brown’s answer is a bit disconnected. I feel from the user base and excessive, but it is very good they are talking about it.

Several of us overly online biologists spent years quietly doing an experiment on Twitter, trying to find out if tweeting about new studies from a set of mid-range journals caused an increase in later citations, compared to set of untweeted control articles.

Turns out we had no noticeable effect; the tweeted papers were cited at the same rate as the control set.

Our paper, headed by Trevor Branch, was published today in PLOS One:

KDE Global Themes Are Inherently Unsafe #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/2pQnfQDROes
in reply to Brodie Robertson

the fact that on modern Linux still every executable runs with all the permissions of the user is kinda baffling.

The permission system is developed for multi-user systems where users don't trust each other but trust the software. On modern PCs, we have mostly only one user, but a bunch of random executables that we shouldn't have to trust with our whole drives.

Time for the year of the BSD desktop, anyone? 😁

Fossil stingray (Cyclobatis sp.)
Upper Cretaceous. Approximately 100.5 million to 66 million years ago. When alive, this creature lived in warm, shallow seas and had a very short tail, which was fitted with a venomous stinger. Discovered in Haqil, Byblos, Lebanon. It just happens to look like an ancient space alien. #science #fossil #archeology #evolution #photo #nature #biology #wildlife


GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/gitl…

I think the solution here is to host their own Gitea/Forgejo instance off-shore. 😝
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

It seems they moved to a self-hosted forgejo instance. git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu
At least for me, GitLab doing that urged me to take a look at Coderberg.


I really enjoyed this Cup of Jo essay about the pleasure of coming back to childhood hobbies as an adult. I know I’ve mentioned this here before, but my own life transformed when I got back into what I loved as a kid (drawing!). kottke.org/24/03/on-returning-…
in reply to kottke.org

kids are a way into this -- working on Halloween costumes, school projects, etc., have restarted my love of all things crafty. not sure what direction that will take post-kid, but just feels good to use the muscles!

It occurred to me when visiting my parents there, how much living in The Villages resembles the rhythms of high school.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'd also add that third party themes (for Qt in general) can lead to segmentation faults, causing applications to crash. It's quite annoying for application maintainers which receive crash reports they can't fix because of that.
