And not even a remotely creative statement. ๐Ÿ™„

Last I checked they haven't yet added user-facing controls to configure this yet. I don't know where it is on the priority list.

I have been using nothing but Linux for the last decade (literally, Arch for years and now Nix) and I'm increasingly growing to hate how so many OSS communities are bordering on zealotry.

I've completely unsubbed from most Android communities now too because they're all such toxic, hostile places to be if you have the sheer audacity to use anything proprietary or closed source.

I've been around this block. I've been both using and contributing to open source projects, some small, some large. I'm proud of what open source developers have achieved and am humbled by most of them. But the users...the users are starting to get really annoying.

Congrats on not reading the post at all and writing something that literally has nothing to do with this thread.

It takes a special level of determination to be so completely clueless.

Do you believe that on a social platform like this, democracy is the best policy when it comes to what is shown and what is not?

Ah, the Internet equivalent of "I know you are but what am I?"...

"this thing that doesn't affect me at all annoys me and shouldn't be visible"

There's other people here who like the transparency. Literally all you have to do is keep scrolling...

Driving a Leaf 100km a day does not mean that the battery has a range of 100km or more. It is extremely common to charge whenever you park, whether at work or when stopping at home or any time in between drives. With a charge in the middle of the day, even a car with a max range of 50km could still do 100km in one day.

The point he's making is not about range, it's about the longevity and the reliability of the car.

It's accessing literally anything you self host from home, with minimal latency and without any port forwarding on your router or exposing your services to the Internet.

It's primary benefit is how fast it is, how much easier it is to set up for even the most novice of users, and how ubiquitous all the clients are.

Plus it's free for 100 endpoints, which is far more than most individuals will need for home labs. And even that you can get around by using subnet routing.

If you've ever wanted to run your own sort of Dropbox or Google docs (Syncthing/Next cloud) but didn't want to deal with the security hassle of exposing it to the Internet, this removes that completely. No more struggling with open ports, fail2ban, or messing with reverse proxies.

This is literally the point. "Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office" is a much, much better headline then "Grindr lays off half its staff".

They're doing it on purpose. It's no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging...these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.

We need to stop falling for this "they are so old fashioned lol" narrative, because they're all more than happy to let you believe that.

There is no "maybe", that's exactly what it is (it's in the OP's link).

Lemmy.world may be one of the largest instances but it never promised to be a straight Reddit clone. While it's still figuring out scaling up and still attracting large DDOS attacks, the last thing they need to be dealing with is DMCA claims and letters from copyright lawyers.

This is the beauty of federated social media. Don't like the rules? Go somewhere else.

 

Before you say "Flameshot", please give me a chance to explain!

On my Mac, I use a tool called Shottr, which is great, not only can I take a screenshot and then proceed to annotate it, I can also load in an image that does not come from taking a screenshot (like an image downloaded from the internet, or a picture taken by my phone) and annotate that as well by directly opening the image with Shottr.

I just tried to do this using pictures I took with my phone that had content I wanted to pixelate, so I grabbed Obfuscate (the GNOME app), and it loaded the images turned sideways and I couldn't rotate them back, and it also only had blackout and a mild blur which didn't really cover anything up.

I installed Flameshot, but I don't seem to be able to open an image with the Flameshot editor (doesn't show up with the Open With dialog, and I didn't feel like having to open the file via cli was a good solution). I gave up and ended up just using my Mac to quickly pixelate what I needed.

On KDE, I think Spectacle was able to do this just fine, but I'm trying the all-GTK all-GNOME approach and don't want to pull in a bunch of dependencies just to get Spectacle.

Here's an example of what I'm able to do with Shottr and why I prefer its tools...I can blur, I can blur only text (it can somehow detect this, I can even erase only text as well:

And I'm able to do that very, very quickly. I realize tools like Kirta and GIMP could achieve something similar, but Shottr takes seconds to open, edit, and copy to clipboard.

Any suggestions on tools?

Hello!

This is my first post on Lemmy, enjoying it greatly so far. One thing I was wondering is if there's any option in the web UI to increase the width of the main feed?

I got very used to the layout of old.reddit.com, wouldn't mind having it here.

Otherwise, no big deal at all. Thank you to everyone who supports Lemmy and helped make this happen!
