thats not a whole instance though. thats just a place for an account to be. on activity pub platforms anyone can just make an entire indepent and independently functional instance of the platform.

let them sue, parody is fair use. get that bag king

but can I use a random old computer I have in my house to run an instance as long as there are a managable number of users? renting a server isnt self hosting. making one yourself is self hosting.

bluesky is technically decentralized, but the way it does it makes self-hosting all but impossible due to storage requirements. because of that, it really isnt. its like how a lot of ai models are ‘open-source’ even though the training data isnt available and the ai is still effectively a black box. it isnt decentralized unless anyone can make an instance, just like how it isnt open-source unless you have access to everything that makes it work (yes, by this definition chromium and android aren’t truly open-source, and I stand by that).

i hope they do something related to vr so I can finally have a sane and simple solution for Linux pcvr

there’s already a dock

Texas isn’t dry except for the desert parts of west Texas. south Texas is a mix of swamp and normal coast, central is just hills, east is Arkansas lite (I live here) and north is the trial version of the mountains it has the southern bits of.

i use the desktop effect this is talking about, if you’re trying to do any kind of window transparency I would recommend it. its a lot better and more configurable than the default blur.

what all do you use for it? I’m trying to do basically the same thing with klassy, forceblur, and a custom color scheme.

it has a combined “timeline” view in the mobile app now, and though it isn’t much better the website (for my instance, anyway) only requires one click.

i mean this is true in some cases, but out where I live if you dont own a truck or have somebody in your house that owns a truck its going to be a massive pain in the ass just maintaining your property. it may be hauling supplies from tractor supply or trying to remove a bunch of scrap metal from a field or even just getting to the places you need to when the water table is so high that you could dig a well by stomping too hard, but you need to at least have access to one.

edit: unfucked grammar and such

nice. I just installed it last night to make zen look better (honestly more consistent with my weird setup is probably more accurate) and it’s pretty good.

I like kbin, think of it basically like if someone took lemmy and mastodon and made one platform that could use both. there is only one mobile app but it’s pretty good imo.

only issue ive had is that neochat freezes when resized by a script (krohnkite), but nothing with KDE itself.

I’m sure you’ve seen it before, but jic have you tried it takes two?

i bet a well done co-op mode would be appreciated though

i have it set up like that but I’m really impatient

TL;DR: make bug reports and look for support in the support channels, not google.

most often thats because it’s much faster to do it in the terminal if you know how, or because the result is an old post from before graphical tools were as good as they are now.

also, a google search is not reaching out and getting support. post/send smth in the KDE communities on here or on the matrix (Foss discord, basically) channels for KDE or your distro, or on KDE discuss. people look at those often for the express purpose of helping with this stuff. maybe go to the KDE bug reporting site and report the bug, it’ll probably be resolved in the next update.

there are graphical ways to do most of these things that work, you’re just new and dont know where they are. there are people out there literally watching whenever they can to help people like you with issues like yours, you are looking in the wrong places. also, even though it can be avoided most of the time you are best off familiarizing yourself with the command line at least a little so you can troubleshoot quicker and better, just like every other operating system.

never really got the point of that kind of stuff but looking at the demand I’m glad its getting added (eventually) since everyone else clearly wants it.

only enthusiast distros like arch are diy in any sense. you dont need the terminal for most things, what you need is to get the settings in discover set up for the thing you want it to do and if it doesn’t worm reach out and get support. that guy talking about cronjobs is probably just familiar with the command line and forgot that that isn’t normal.
