It got revived also! They’re back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don’t use friendica

edit: here’s the new GitHub link: https://github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForLemmy

Archinstall exists which does something similar but with a TUI. I disagree that it’s as easy as Debian’s graphical installer but it is significantly easier than it used to be before archinstall existed.

I like the idea of the local feed, especially for smaller, less generalized instances, but the default should definitely be federated and the wording could also be changed if only because the word “federated” would probably be confusing to non-technical people. Replacing it with something like “All” might be a better idea

Piggybacking off this comment because I completely agree with it.

Did we not learn anything from CrowdStrike? If a comparatively simple fix was able to wipe out half the world, how would something that requires an active choice (where to get certs from) not completely cripple all of our infrastructure?

The problem is that it won’t stop people from using Google. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice aside from having to spend more time searching for local things, which incidentally will give Google more ad money.

The average person probably doesn’t know that search engines other than Google or Bing (or maybe Yahoo if they’re old enough) even exist. As much as it worries me that most of Firefox’s revenue comes from having Google as the default search engine, regulating that practice might actually give other search engines a chance to be seen.

Zangoose is a Pokemon, there’s probably hundreds of sites with it

You have found neither my site nor a site talking about me

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

I don’t have any GitHub.io sites but I appreciate the joke :)

How did you find one of my GitHub repos?

I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

Is that… a countdown to the next holiday?

You’re not wrong but it’s not like it’s unprecedented. North Korea already does this with Red Star OS. It’s just Linux with a bunch of spyware and government tracking/surveillance on top (edit: it’s also definitely not open source)

It won’t be open source. Who’s gonna sue Russia for license violation?

Smh, it’s spelt vim by the way

This will be an amazing phone wallpaper

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

Checking in with my regularly scheduled F-Droid superiority post. Free, feature-rich, and no ads/trackers.

In all seriousness though, there are a lot of great FOSS apps on the stock repos and the IzzyOnDroid repos. Auxio (mp3 player) and Breezy Weather are probably my favorites at the moment.

Fair enough, I also looked through the code though and it looks like everything is done locally
