I'm going to suggest that these are great on a local terminal, but the original commands may be better when using a remote terminal (particularly with a low bandwidth connection) and all that's practical with low resource embedded devices.
By all means, use the new tools, just saying users should learn the old ones too.

Does make sense in a way... @brave is the only cross-platform #FOSS browser that comes with an #adblocker and non-Big Tech search engine out of the box. Defaults matter, @mozillaofficial : ) I still support the your good stuff, btw.
Hopefully, #Midori by @astian can be the second one especially as it's not based on Chromium.

Discover why Nextcloud is the go-to alternative to #BigTech for organizations prioritizing data sovereignty! 🚀
🔒 With Nextcloud, you maintain full control over your data while ensuring robust, stable, and feature-rich private cloud collaboration.
I'm proudly self-hosting Nextcloud since 2018. In that time, I've upgraded continuously from Nextcloud 13 to 30, transitioning early on from SQLite to MariaDB, all thanks to @crits's fantastic guides and scripts. Along the way I've upgraded MariaDB and PHP as required. (I have another PHP upgrade scheduled before I upgrade to 31.)
I only have two daily users, but by now I have a high level of trust that Nextcloud will continue to serve our needs for file storage, address book, calendar (and more) into the future.
Yeah, that would be cool if you did not start enshittification early with all the AI stuff you're doing.
We never get any response from you on these topics.
Looks like you only read positive comments.
Thats unfortunate. Things we dont like also allow one to improve.
Just drop all of your AI bullshit and maybe get file sync to work flawlessly first?
1/ NIH-funded research has come under a new level of fiscal scrutiny under Trump, sending shock waves through biomedical research.
As Nick Gilpin writes, at the core of these cuts is one question: Is it a worthwhile investment for the US taxpayer?

My at-home algal cultivation hobby is going well. I am surprised thst soil samples are the best for growing new green algae - more so than pond water.
oh that sounds fun, hope you'll find time to write up some notes online!
No carbon source is interesting - I wonder if you use defined media that means lower chance of contamination as well. That would be great for a teaching model too.

It’s literally Valve’s plan to officially put out SteamOS 3 for more devices. The upcoming Beta was announced only recently too: gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/valv…
Valve have said repeatedly, for years, this was their plan.
This stupid fear pushing is ridiculous.

I mean... doesn't it already run on the Deck? The infuriating thing about it is that their DRM blocks anything OTHER than the Deck

As the day ends, the Trump gang is not backing off an inch from its use of Signal, in blatant violation of the Federal Records Act. Democrats haven't yet focused on it; nor has most of the press.
But Josh Marshall gets it: "These are disappearing communications. They won’t be in the National Archives. Future administrations won’t know what happened. There also won’t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed."

[class] wrapper since other platforms can't use it anyway. There isn't anything similar in Markdown so far as I know, which might be why the raw BBcode is getting through to Disapora? I'm guessing it's missing the conversion from BBcode [class] to Markdown syntax. Which should be conversion to nothing. I'd check for it myself but I have no clue where the processing for other platforms even is in the Friendica code.
New: Fediverse Report 109
This week, an essay about #Bluesky's proposal for setting user preferences on their accounts. This allows people to indicate how they want their data to be handled off-protocol. I wrote about how the #fediverse can improve on this, using its strengths of many different communities, each with its own culture and values.
Also:
- Next week is the digital conference @fediforum
- A research dataset to compare Threads and Mastodon users

Fediverse Report – #109
An essay on user preferences, and how the fediverse's interconnected network of communities can play into that, as well as some other news.fediversereport.com
@Gargron yeah, but that does not cover everything. Especially such more interesting cases as the mastodon threads research dataset that was just released.
Regardless, the essay is about who sets the default values, and that this decision should be delegated to server admins, and not made by software platforms such as mastodon itself

Right. That's kind of the point! The proto-fediverse was dominated by a VC-funded startup -- just like today's ATmosphere. And eight to ten years later the next-generaiton protocols (originally also developed by a corporation) got refined and adopted by a standards bodies -- just like will probably happen with AT Proto.
And presumably just as somebody from a Meta-funded non-profit has repeatedly shut down criticisms of Meta on the W3C ActivityPub mailing list, at some point somebody from a Bluesky-funded non-profit will try to shut down criticisms of Bluesky on whatever standards group is trying to take things forward.
There's a lot to critique with Bluesky but many of the critques apply to the ActivityPub fediverse as well.
