The western world starts treating the US the way we treated Germany during WWII. Only problem is the unelected neolib puppets in charge of most of our country that used to exhibit leadership on the global stage.

[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[–] WilfordGrimley@linux.community 3 points 2 weeks ago

I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.

I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.

P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.

Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I've been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.

Apparently, the mods at Linuxsucks are really sensitive? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

That's how aether works kind of.

It's P2P/decentralised rather than federated.

Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.

Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.

I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.

AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Help someone out of the loop!

I have only been following Monero stuff loosely for a few years. i remever some controversy where there was at least 2 forks of Hevano claiming to be the original.

What was the controversy and resolution there?

When corporations scrape academic papers, it's justified. When individuals do it, it's inexcusable. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I need to find a way to tell Wayland to launch the ereader part of calibre flipped 90° so that I can use my SteamDeck as a tablet for book reading.

Is Lemmy Federation with Aether possible? (linux.community)

submitted 1 year ago by WilfordGrimley@linux.community to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source.

Some advantages to Aether over Lemmy are:

It is entirely decentralized rather than federated giving it superior censorship resistance and smooth horizontal scalability. Each user on the Aether network acts as a node operator allowing other users to connect and view the communities that they subscribe to.

Moderators within each community are elected by, are impeachable by, and their decisions can be individually ignored by the users of each community. All mod actions are public information and, as mentioned, each mod action or moderator can be ignored by each user. This maximizes the accountability of the network and greatly reduces the chances of censorship.

The biggest flaw with Aether is that it is not currently maintained (to my knowledge). With such a massive migration of users to Lemmy and the Fediverse as large, I would love to see an increased interest in decentralized solutions like Aether.

Would it be technically feasible for Aether to join the fediverse through modified Lemmy instances? If so it could act as a silver bullet to enable horizontal scalability of the network at large.

I welcome any discussion on the topic.

Can the Number of Federated Instances be Increased for Linux.community please? (linux.community)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by WilfordGrimley@linux.community to c/linux@linux.community

At the moment there is slim pickings for other communities to join if this instance is chosen by a user to be their home server.

Presumably other instances have to approve linux.community federating with them before their subs can show up? Is it that this instance is new, or is there some other reason. u/nkukard can you chime in?

EDIT: A-ha! I was searching poorly! Once a member of a instance subscribes, it pulls it into that instance for easier discovery. Neat!
