I’ve seen it. :D

Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice. 😁

Everyone on today’s internet is directly exposed to regulations like GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and lately numerous age verification (or assurance) laws and related social media bans for minors.

How, how, how did we manage to stray this far from John Perry Barlow’s dreams? Is there any good left in the world? ;_;

Thread about that here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/54901501

That is one option. I myself use VSCodium (vim mode <3) for all my text editing; if you want to avoid that, there is also Kate.

Krusader (or generally dual-pane file managers) is great once you get used to it. I have been using it (and Double Commander on Windows) for years now and wouldn’t want to get back to anything else.

That “most people” part kinda reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

Haiku and ReactOS have been mentioned, but SerenityOS hasn’t yet, maybe that is an option too. :D

What do you expect that to do, on a technical level?

Because if all you want to do is the societal result, you can use any existing backend and configure it to disable federation except with other servers with the same goal. Unclear what you are trying to achieve.

I recommend “new comments”.

meh, we already have an option for the first (KDE Plasma) and for the second (GNOME) as far as I’m concerned, so what else is missing

Yes, you are quite right: I heard about the existence of “Samsung DeX” here first. It’s such an obscure thing that I (a Samsung smartphone user for more than half a decade) hadn’t heard of it before. I had certainly heard of Chrome OS before even though I’ve never used it.

The term “desktop” has more than one meaning and in the context of which operating systems are used on desktops, it certainly includes laptops. 😉

Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html

I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are !europa@lemmy.world and !europe@sopuli.xyz.

There is also !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.

I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like !freesoftware@lemmy.zip or !libreculture@lemmy.ca or !right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

Also similar: !general@lemmy.world

It’s a thing some people occasionally do. By itself it’s neither a good idea nor bad idea, but people have certainly been confused by it before. It’s better to use software for its actually intended purpose, that is less confusing both for oneself and everyone else.
