#RIP “Mary McFadden, a fashion designer who was famous not just for her shimmering, pleated dresses, which cascaded freely to the floor, but also for her visage — stark white Kabuki-style makeup and bluntly cut ebony hair — died on Friday at her home in Southampton, N.Y. She was 85.
Her brother John McFadden said the cause was myeloma dysplasia.”

Hey, are you a #Linode user, tired of only being able to run #Linux distributions?
Here, I just put together a guide for how to install #NetBSD on Linode:

Give it a go and let me know if you run into problems! ⛳ 😎
Anyone knows why #gnome-software and #KDE #discover are so slow with #flatpak?
Like often when I'm downloading sth. I can't browse apps or they load for ages. Using the website works instantly.
It feels and is a lot more reliable to use flatpak from the terminal in my experience, I wonder why the #GUI stores have these problems.
Also often had long load times in those stores on #linux mobile.
Did you also experienced such issues? Are you a gnome/kde dev and know where it could come from?

Generally I like to recommend @vs_everyone
At least if you're into polls.
For #videogames I suggest @grumpygamer as well as @repeatro, particularly for #retrogaming.
Trump's threat to punish countries that drop US dollar will speed up de-dollarization.
China has now surpassed the US as the biggest trading partner for most countries. Therefore, if the US forces countries to choose a side then the choice will have to be China for majority of the world.
Meanwhile, there's zero chance of China going back to doing trade using the dollar given that would be a national security risk for them.

Hey Fediverse experts, need your advice!
Does anyone know the difference between existing relays and the recent proposal/announcement by @MastodonEngineering about "discovery providers"? On paper they sound like they're the same thing? Are they?
No one seems to have an answer to this in the thread at mastodon.social/@MastodonEngin… and the website fediscovery.org doesn't really explain either.
Thank you! 🙏
That is a lot clearer now! 👏
I hope this service doesn't end up going down the BlueSky route where corporations run the Fedi 😟 but at least Fediverse servers will have the option of ignoring such providers.
(By the way, for any admins reading this thread who want to have more content on their server right now instead of waiting, you might want to try relay.fedi.buzz which lets you have relays based on particular hashtags.)
