Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it’s tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can’t seem to install Kinoite without “formatting” the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

You read a book in two hours?

I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I’ll lick them. I don’t recommend it, but I do it.

It is still true, at least in Europe. I mean, they’re not actually trying to destroy your life, you know, but they’re after the company’s best interests. They might help you, and might make things not the worst they possibly can, because that’ll give a bad rep, but they’re not your friend.

It was a joke, man.

She’s a pain but she’s also part of the family. I think it makes s very good point to make her like that and to have us bear her.

If it’s music, it’s on Soulseek!

Yes, web apps, yes. But to confirm online payments you usually need the app. That’s true at least of N26.

May be. I have no idea.

I have no actual idea, but I don’t think so as it’s an “online” bank where you set up the account on the mobile app. There’s no other way to set up an account with this bank.

I can’t do online shopping without accepting a notification on my bank’s app. That’s not “social media and chat apps”.

[offtopic] Where are you from, OP? Is it Eastern Europe? I don’t think you’re French, because you would have used « and ». But you used „ and ”. Come, tell me, is is Switzerland? Bulgaria? Russia? :)

Ploum makes a very interesting point on his blog: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

They talk about examples like Google Chat being XMPP, becoming very big, changing the standards that look like other XMPP users/clients are subpar and then killing “federation” but no one complains because everyone uses their product, so it’s not a big disruption.

While I don’t think this is it, because Facebook is huge and ActivityPub isn’t (XMPP was the most used protocol then), this happened and can’t be ignored.

What did that mean? How does that work?

For me, 10 of 37 and counting :)

This happened to me with Jerboa, but it’s a bug. Open your instance on the browser and click Subscribed to make sure it’s working. They should show the same posts

Unlike the Vulcans, who helped human progress!

In all fairness, it probably did take less time to load messages on BBSs than it takes to update Fortnite :)
