The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus some changes and improvements. Theme Switcher 3.0 !!! Our Theme Switcher is now complete! 18 styles x 9 unique accent colors for each of them.
Flatpaks are easier to use in most distros. If you're using NixOS, then Nix of course. But if you want to do a lot of CLI stuff, then Nix may be better too.
Hi would like to do a few sound bites about the music or what you love to do in general (choose what you like). It's for a Podcast - Mastodon-only. Here's the summary of podcast called 'Your Love and Logic' in link below:
And from others to get others interested (if you know anyone nice) about interesting things yes!
Doesn't have to be long sound clips, can be over Mastodon, few sound bites and I / we can mix it up into something we're happy enough to share it on here.
Is it possible to mix your music in that video to use in podcast?
Thanks

@_sohalt @tonicfunk @Variaxocellus Oh hell yeah. It's good to know EDM, techno, etc can survive the collapse of technological civilisation. We'll be able to play ourselves out.
As someone with mild photosensitivity, though, I could do without the flashing lights.
When I said I was "proud" to get it to work, I didn't mean Emfed, which does the heavy lifting (thanks, @adrian!) I meant the little wrapper in org-static-blog (thanks, @bastibe!) that I wrote that puts it into my posts.
Congratulations on the blog and the integration of Mastodon on it, I hadn’t heard of Emfed before. May I ask where the site is hosted? Since org-static-blog seems to generate a static site, I’d be happy to switch to it from a homebrew website.el script I have.
My email provider* allows me to store a modest amount of files, and configures easily to host web pages from those directories. I can mount those directories to my desktop and copy the static files over with a hook run after org-static-blog generates them. Another provider manages domain names and so forth.
*with whom I was very happy until recent union-busting cruelty, and for whom I now withhold public endorsement as I search for a replacement. Recommendations welcome.
Oh? Which provider is this? I’m on Fastmail and they allow static hosting as well, for some strange reason I haven’t used that option. My static site currently runs out of GitHub, I’ve been meaning to move it to Codeberg or SourceHut but haven’t got around to actually do that.
@bmp I can see the advantages of either approach (Fastmail vs. the forges), and I trust sourcehut and Codeberg, but I just prefer to have multiple independent points of failure.
This is so confusing. There are many free things where you are not "the product". We make many, see tromsite.com and trom.tf.
I wish people would stop saying this about google and the like. There is a simple and to the point way of describing these "free" services. They are TRADE-BASED. You have to trade something to them, in order to use their services.
In the same way that when you go to a supermarket you have to trade your currency for what you grab from it, you have to trade your attention (ads) or data to Google when you go on their platform. Currency, attention, data.

We live in a TRADE-BASED society where pretty much everything is trade-based. Money is just a currency we invented, but trades go without currency as well.
We spent more than a decade trying to shed some light on this confusion.
I got your message but I think the last of goal of so much companies is sell to get money even if we mock the word money with trade at the end they need this trade to survive or don't sacrifice privileges.
It is true that most trades translate into "money" in today's society. But increasingly cryptocurrencies are getting more popular. However the focus should be on trade else we lose sight with whats happening online where data ant attention are traded without people realizing it.
The incentive is bad overall, from small to big companies, or individuals. Yes most have to trade to survive, and that is very bad and we should change this situation; it is also true that google and the like are not trading in order to survive, but to thrive in an unequal and ass backwards society.
Totally agree, Until the current situation that most of the companies use, for example, tracking methods to get your information only for improve the "sell experience for company". It's good saying "if it's free, you are the product" because if we don't keep alert or we pretend that they aren't the majority, we can't protect us of this kind of abuse
The entire premise of my original post is that it is not good saying "if it's free, you are the product" since for one it makes it seem like whatever is "free" is not to be trusted, and second it gives google and the like approval for using the word "free" for their trade-based services.
Google is trade-based. Facebook is trade-based. Nextcloud is trade-free. Friendica is trade-free.
I agree if it's free is not trusted, until the user figures out that is trust. I agree that not all the companies or products are evil or want to abuse to get money but the majority do it. Also there are thousands of user that don't know about the "trade" it's not a real trade if you don't know if it's a "trade"
Capitalism is a manifestation of trade, and ill defined for that matter.
As for "it's not trade if it's coerced" - we are mostly coerced to trade nowadays. Want food? Trade your time, energy, skills to someone else, get a currency, go trade it for food. Food is essential yet you have to trade for it, you have no other choice. And so it goes for pretty much anything.
You run a business selling food, you have little choice, you have to pay your rent. I need food. I work, make money, then buy food from you. We were both coerced into this game, now who is stealing from who in his situation?
We can have endless debates as to what we mean by trade, but I go with what is generally understood - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade
capitalism is global. there is no part of human society than capitalism doesn't touch.
no one forced anyone to hoard food for profit. that's a choice. no one forced anyone to exploit workers by paying them wages. that is also a choice. no one forced anyone to enclose the commons and demand rent. that was also a choice.
writing a book doesn't mean it isn't full of nonsense. Hitler wrote a book too, as did Ayn Rand, but neither of these people had any ideas worth considering nor do they make any sense.
The book that I wrote is digitally available for everyone and every claim is sourced where I claim it. Click and see.
That being said, these isms are a lot of mushy ideas. Also the theory of these ideas can be widely different from their implementation.
And by "no one forced anyone to do this or that", I do not know what you are saying. Of course so many people are forced by others or circumstances. All choices are influenced by external factors: needs, efficiency, fear, etc..
If not, then do yourself a favor and research. I was 100% sure that after billions of people made posts and videos, that people will believe that Google is a goddamn evil corporation. You can't trust it with your data unless you're insane and you want Google to know everything about you.
Don't take my word for it - do yourself a favor and research!
P.S. Hope that will cure from sickness a little thing in your brain, named "logic". And your brain itself too.
@Tio In your original post, you're justifying corporations violating users's privacy rights without their consent. You're acting like as if it was a rule you have to accept and is impossible to live without it.
Back in 1830s,everyone lived without big tech and guess what? They survived. Surprising, right???
Well now, has anything changed? Nope, it didn't.
In your original post, you were complaining about that it's confusing to see people ranting about Google whenever you're product or not, which caused you to write this big post.
My previous reply was expected for you to reduce that confusion a bit. Does it all makes sense now?
The way big tech (like Google, Meta) do their business today, like making money, is unlawful and consentless. Your post is written as if it was okay to play that way business while in real life its not okay.
Do yourself a favor and research, like I said previously.
You certainly misunderstood. I did not justify what they are doing, I said what they do is not free to begin with, it is trade-based. This cuts the confusion when people think google and the like are free, and when some say "you are the product". Better say google is trade-based.
I dedicated the past 10+ years showcasing how this is fucked up. How trade is the origin of most problems.
@Tio Dude. You've read my post partially, and while you did provided some good response, which I appreciate, hmm, I still gonna say that you did justified what big tech are doing.

If it doesn't has ads and trackers, then yes. Unless it doesn't violates user's privacy.

Yes but it's consentless. Google and other big tech conpanies do not inform you about this.

Like I said, it's consentless and informless.
See now? I quoted specific arguments of yours where you justified what big tech companies do.

Thats exactly what I argue there are many trade-free things out there, google aint one. Nor is any that forces you to trade your attention (ads) or data. They are trade-based. BAD
btw learn how to use quotes in friendica.....else it is very confusing....
@CyborgHT When there is no ads and no tracking, you arn't the product. Why not install #Yunohost at home or in a VPS? It's easy to install. Yunohost.org And there is many apps available by one click.
And, you can look at #Chatons where there a lot of services, sometimes free of charge. chatons.org
@LautreG OK, I agree with you, but disagree with original author. Yes Google isn't privacy-friendly. That has been proved in many cases, articles and videos. Yet people refuse to believe this.

Coding this little text adventure game in #python ... Yes I #code a bit too, I have very many distractions/ interests.
I've built like a smallish town of rooms so far and made it so things in rooms change. For example if the player picks up something or talks to someone.
I've also made it so the player can buy stuff. It's kinda interesting and fun to do.
I got no story line at the moment. It'll just be going around collecting items to tackle problems. I may post the code somewhere later.
Meet the #FOSS heroes who have made running #Linux on #AppleSilicon a success: A #VTuber sharing a pink diagram of how to reverse-engineer #GPUs (@lina), a hacker in Tokyo (@marcan), and enthusiastic contributors to projects like @AsahiLinux, #PipeWire, #Vulkan and #OpenGL from around the world.
Want to see how to do updating #ux good? My preferred Git client, SmartGit, has a new user interface, which is generally bad because it breaks people's workflows.
Here's how handled it: they ASKED the user which UI they'd PREFER! Crazy! And I went ahead and chose the new UI because I know I can go back to the one I'm used to. I'll follow this up with another real nice touch that SmartGit does better than other #gtk apps.
The Positron IDE gives #Python users a help panel by typing a ? after a function name, similar to what exists in RStudio for R, @isabelizimm tells #PositConf2024 @python
