Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?
the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...
Just installed NixOS with Wayland and Gnome the other day on my laptop with Nvidia card. I had to tune the config a bit, but it works flawless now – notably also with the offload command. That’s fine for me though because it saves considerable energy if the GPU only runs on request.
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:
Organic Maps
Thunderbird
Internet Archive
Codeberg
I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.
Today I fought Nergigante for the first time…and then three more times… In the first try I already got it to being close to death (with the skull showing on the map), and fainted two more times in the last area which failed the quest. And all the next attempt were the same, I always fail in the last area by fainting two...
I hope you got it by now, but some things you can do:
Save traps until the last stage.
When the Nergigante leaves for the cave, wait until it’s asleep. Then place a big bomb next to it’s head and detonate it. Make sure the hit from the bomb is the damage that wakes the Nergigante up.
I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:
Seit dem neuesten Jerboa-Update beschwert sich die App immer wenn ich Feddit.de aufrufe, dass der Server auf 0.17.4 ist, aber 0.18 mindestens notwendig ist. Wäre es möglich, Feddit.de upzudateen.
Hab' mir eben gerade Thunder heruntergeladen und bin sehr zufrieden. Äusserst slicke App, auch wenn es wie die meisten anderen noch klar Alphasoftware ist.
There’s a subreddit called r/minecraftbuddies where you could find others to play minecraft with, so I mirrored this community on lemmy in case anyone is interested in subscribing to it.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I'm a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache and the ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network until...
A network of (“thousands of”) servers has — like most things — pros and cons.
Some of the pros are:
The network is more resiliant against outages. If lemmy.ml is down, all other users can still access the network.
It's hard to take legal action against the network or to buy it out (like Big Players™ like to do to get rid of potential competitors).
It allows various similar or even conflicting moderation policies. The network, i.e. the infrastructure doesn't allow or prohibit any specific opinion (the communities do).
It allows for different ways to pay the bills: goodwill of the admin, donaitions, ads, fee or selfhosting. The latter also allows great control over the data so you control your privacy.
Some of the cons are:
Content is replicated across servers, which increases the total amount of data stored.
Latency and speed suffer.
Interoperability with the wider Fediverse is less than 100%, which can create confusion and frustration.
Hm. Some fantasy stories / books I really enjoyed and recommend are:
Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Just awesome. The pacing is gentle but a lot higher compared to The Hobbit or The Lord Of The Rings. One of the best fantasy stories I know, I read all the books multiple times. Warning: Don’t watch the movie. Just don’t.
The Idhún’s Memories by Laura Gallego. I’ve read them a long time ago, so I don’t know if I’d still enjoy them that much, but I’ve great memories.
I didn’t read The Name Of The Wind yet, but it was recommended to me multiple times as THE best book.
If you don’t mind science-fiction, I also would recommend Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovski.
Side note: Fantasy is quite a heavy genre if you’re not really into reading yet. Often the good books are large, which makes it harder to finish in a reasonable time. General tipp: try to read one hour a day. This creates a habit and you will soon read a lot faster, which makes it a lot easier to just grind through a book as if it was nothing. Also try different genres, maybe one doesn’t sound appealing, but you would enjoy it anyway.

Paid Servers?
Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?
Mozilla allows desktop extensions on Firefox for Android (www.theregister.com)
why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?
