Not all notifications go through FCM but all push notifications do as far as I'm aware - which is what the previous comment and the post title are talking about.

It is, in fact, worrying for privacy implications on the one hand and a real monopolizing factor on the other since if you wish to deliver an app which needs to implement such notifications you're using Google's service or constantly drain the user's battery.

There's UnifiedPush which tries to provide an open alternative but so far unfortunately still sees very little adoption.

While I do not doubt this happening, nor it being sexist at its core, I find no mention of it on the linked wikipedia article.

EDIT: Ah, it actually links to a now-defunct british spacecentre article in the original TIL with the following quote:

When Svetlana arrived the space station, she was reportedly handed an apron from her male crewmates and jokingly told to get to work in the kitchen. But she’s also described in fond terms the flowers she received upon arrival: “They gallantly presented me with flowers they had grown in orbit and those plain flowers in a transparent box were the dearest present to me. We hugged each other, kissed each other, in a word, our meeting was the usual meeting of friends who had not met for a long time.” After this initial meeting she was quickly able to establish a working, professional relationship with her crew.

and there's an '82 NYT article mentioning it here

xdg-open is very nifty, especially due to its ubiquitousness on a variety of distributions. You can even have a look inside to see that it is actually a shell script yet again invoking other 'opening' scripts in the background!

I wrote a little bit about it and an alternative to it called mimeo not too long ago. That one can even open things by advanced filters such as regexes. So you could e.g. open https://eff.org in Firefox and http://localhost:3000 in a different application or other advanced shenanigans - though I've never used such advanced features much.

Absolutely agreed.

The underlying map is great, the interfaces are great (especially on OrganicMaps), the way it can give me offline access to everything is great but in that crucial moment getting off a train/bus/whatever and thinking - hang on, which direction did I need to go? - the search just undoes everything else because often you literally can not find the location you need. Then it's hand-scrolling to roughly where you think it is, putting down a general pin and then eye-balling the actual location.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun in a sort of 90s-unfolding the city-map kind of way but not if you actually have an appointment somewhere.

I realize this isn't your point but I feel the need to point out that skinheads are not nazis - it is unfortunately a very well working project of cultural appropriation by the racists.

In the scene racist skinheads are mostly referred to as boneheads, a term which I think makes much more sense.

Codeberg the community is very nice with strong focus on the right to privacy and free software, which I feel reflects itself especially in a lot of copylefted projects on the service.

Codeberg the collaboration platform is in my epxerience by the simple fact of critical mass quite a bit less 'collaborative' for many projects. There's a couple projects with tight communities, and a lot of single dev projects with maybe a drive-by PR.

Codeberg the software runs on Gitea (/Forgejo) which is wonderful software - slim, simple enough to get everything done without being in the way.

There's efforts to open up the gitea/forgejo forges to federation, which would be a very neat way to fix the collaboration issue and is - in my view - the way forward for open, decentralized collaborative software creation. It's still quite a ways off (especially from bring mature enough to be used day-to-day) but when it gets there platforms like codeberg will be the first to adopt it and to also benefit massively from it.

As @[email protected] points out, there's a bunch of players that can scrobble directly to listenbrainz.

But even if you use some player that does not have support for it, you can make any player that can scrobble to last.fm work with listenbrainz instead since they provide a compatible API. This includes even software which officially only supports last.fm by simply changing the scrobble destination it wants to scrobble to in your hosts file.

It really is pretty nice software.

The terminal-based file browser space is so filled today but for my part I love what vifm has done for the dual-pane midnight commander concept - it's the same basic idea, uses (somewhat) vim-like bindings by default and is super extensible.

What a nice painting, and what a sad sentiment!

I especially love the color contrast of land and water, I think it captures quaint Mediterranean dreaminess so well.

The rss feed should be accessible here but it's unfortunately a little buggy, been meaning to spruce it up for ages.

While I used to always target longer more in-depth sessions of Memoir44, Kontor, 7 Wonders Duels, Starship Catan or the like, in recent years I would say the most 'fun' I actually had with less involved byte-sized 2 player options.

My favorites in recent memory are things such as:

• Onitama for an instant chess 'end-game' struggle with weird bendy movement rules that are different each time (and can be between nail-bitingly close or hilariously unbalanced)
• Lost Cities for an old classic which can be played leisurely in the background over a nice drink while still generating enough excitement in the game itself
• Quorridor and Abalone for abstract little time fillers that you can always fit a round in and generally don't demand too much of you
• and my recent favorite Air Land Sea for a short but intense struggle along three lanes, deploying simple open scoring cards while trying to lay devious traps without the other player noticing. Some of the best balance of hidden and open information I've come across for 2players.

I think I have moved from the game constantly being the center piece of attention to games focused on more punctual 'attention' points for 2 player games, which allows a nice conversation to flow around but still leaves you with something to do in between. I guess shorter games are a more natural fit for that.

On the topic of auto-typing, the mechanisms for variations of it exist in Wayland since I am using it in my password scripts to automatically fill login boxes. (Using tools like ydotool or wtype.)

So I would guess that KeePass hasn't integrated the necessary protocols/api for Wayland?

Fully agreed with the usefulness of topgrade.

Topgrade is not just for archlinux but will happily upgrade Debian-/RedHat-Derivatives, Gentoo, Void, some BSDs and I think even Mac and Windows, though I'm not sure how those work.

The link you provided also goes to the unmaintained original version, while there is a community fork here: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade which sees more development (but is also looking for maintainers!)

I'm also using topgrade and it is wonderful to upgrade the system dependencies but even the content of unrelated package managers such as pipx, vim, zsh plugin-managers, cargo programs, R packages, npm/yarn packages, and importantly for this thread flatpaks and snaps with one command. It really is lovely.

Not asking to start an argument but do you know what those features and customizability optons are?

Because I am currently running a German/English/Terminal-mode multi setup with everything set up right around how I need and the customization in AnySoft keyboard was quite honestly astounding to me (if very cumbersome to discover everything).

So if Floris offers even more possibilities I am wondering what they could even be?

It's kind of my take as well, personally don't really care but that in turn means I also don't really care for a change.

But it also appears like a lot of people espouse the 'who cares about this' with a strong slant of simultaneously defending the status quo. I honestly felt the same when there was the whole master -> main phrasing change in a lot of git repository hosters.

Learn something new everyday.. Thanks! This is sure to come in handy at some point.

Simple explanation: lemmy uses markdown under the hood. In markdown, one star *surrounded* things are italics; two start **surrounded** things are bold. Three stars basically '* **combine** *' both to make: italic bold.

Thanks for the hint but I am not entirely sure which icon you are referring to unfortunately.

Is it an icon provided by the application? Otherwise, this is an Android phone (LineageOS to be specific) and I am not sure there would be an Apple sharing icon on it.

I think these are good points - desktop environment will be the most immediately impactful choice; then once you're settled a little into the Linux way you might start making choices about the package manager, eco-system and community philosophy.

But as you said, take your home directory with you and switching or exploring a little isn't a pain at all.

I think that's completely fair!

::: spoiler light spoilers for Babel And I also think you hit the nail on the head with both the way it introduces the 'magical' world and then pulls the rug out underneath you and protagonist in quite a distressing fashion. Pretty clever actually! :::
