I’m not sure either. I think arch used to be one of the less popular distros (because of the more involved install process, solved now by the arch-based distros with friendly installers), despite having some of the best features, so it required more “evangelism”, that’s unecessary now. Arch-based distros are now some of the most popular ones, so its not necessary.

Others have commented on why its so great, but the AUR + Rolling releases + stability means that arch is one of the “stable end states”. You might hop around a lot, but its one of the ones you end up landing on, and have no reason to change from.

JFC, orientalist rage-bait propaganda is off the charts.

USA.jpeg right there. That image is for everyone who lives there except for like three cities. And the bike route is actually crossing several major roads.

In that case flatpak is basically a hack for OS’s with broken or improper dependency manangement systems. Either those OS’s should fix their broken systems, or ppl should move to OS’s that do it properly, as that’s one of the most important functions of your OS anyway.

Which ones? Everything in the arch main repos are compiled for your system, and most things in the AUR can either be built from source, or have -bin installs.

Can someone explain why flatpak isn’t necessary for distros that have proper OS dependency management like Arch-based distros or Nix?

Seems like flatpak is solving a problem for OS’s that don’t have proper dependency management.

Why, it’s totally unnecessary.

Nice, those are some good bird pics. I like the coloration and little red flourishes on the woodpeckers.

Around me we get a lot of nut hatches, and titmouses which are my fav. They have little mohawks, and are quirky, but brave, as I’ve seen them do david and goliath standoffs with much bigger birds like crows. Not my pic but here’s one

I’d really love to get into that, especially bird photography as it’s been fun to try to learn bird calls and try to spot them. Nature really recharges the brain in a way nothing else can. Esp for those of us who are goal oriented or always feeling the need to be accomplishing something, being out in nature helps us drop all the expectations and distractions.

Doing any nature related activities away from screens, whether it be daily walks, gardening, hiking, kayaking, mountain climbing, swimming, camping is really good for both mental and physical health.

In that blue zones documentary, it’s said that daily walks and daily gardening help your mind and longevity more than any other activity.

Learning a musical instrument is always good, and is something you can show off. Knitting, crocheting, or any kind of ravelry works your mind, and you can also listen to audiobooks while doing it. Woodworking (you can start small, even doing spoons and things).

I wouldn’t be too focused on doing mentally challenging activities. Screens wear out our brains enough, and what we really need is time away from them to recharge.

Outside of that I’d just recommend reading a lot of non-fiction, audiobooks where available.

Ah my bad.

Ya we have to deal with so many vote bots, dead account voters, and vote spying tools now from some instances, that it’s genuinely going to be one of the biggest challenges on the fediverse in the future.

If some special interests set up shop on the fediverse, and upvote their content with a lot of fake accounts, or downvote others views they don’t want popularized, without a way to combat it while still preserving overall vote privacy, we’ll be in bad shape.

“The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”

British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.

This has nothing to do with that. But we have expanded the site settings to reject federated votes (or downvotes only)

Pretty impressive that a smartphone company, that’s kinda like the Apple of China, decided to just make a car, and within a decade came out with one of the best cars ever made. If anyone hasn’t, I highly recommend watching some reviews of the SU-7.

Neat to see that Ford’s CEO sees the writing on the wall and is sounding the alarm, but he has no power to change the company’s overall direction, and it will go the way of the dodo. Ford has the reputation of a company that sells oversized trucks to obnoxious overbearing US patriots who are more likely to be drunk driving and kill an innocent person than any other vehicle on the road.

The main NATO member countries are backing Israel, with money, weaponry, and promises of defense. This happened when the US invaded Iraq also.

I elaborated on this here

Here is the issue and the pull request.

Essentially multi-communities are a federated item very similar to communities, that federated users can subscribe to. They have an id, a creator, name, description, and a list of communities. If you subscribe to it, your instance will pick up any changes to it. You can then get a list of posts filtered by that multi-community.

Here are the new endpoints:

• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#tag/Post/operation/GetPosts
• Not new, but you can now filter by a multi-community
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/FollowMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/CreateMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/GetMultiCommunity
• https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#operation/CreateMultiCommunityEntry

Deeply evil shit, stranger things level.

The 1.0 release is many months away yet, and we’ll give ample time to app devs to update.
