I managed to find this post somehow but I can inform you that there's a community for Tsukihime that I've created early on, it's on a smaller instance that doesn't wage defederation wars so it should be accessible to almost anyone.

Additionally if you want to appear in our sidebar you can reach out to me over DMs on this account or PM me on mastodon at @[email protected]. (this goes for any anime community; discoverability on lemmy is pretty lackluster)

It's sad that more companies are just willing to screw their customers and squeeze them dry of every last penny just for the sake of profit and infinite growth even though we know infinite growth will never be attainable.

Every corporate entity is willing to forfeit their goals for money, especially if they hold a monopoly in a certain space and when growth slows they will look for other ways to offset that income.

I've learned that loyalty means jack shit to the company and it's just another thing they can exploit you with, I'm not loyal to AMD but right now they're the least unethical party in this race to the bottom.

NVIDIA finally being the whole bitch it seems, not unexpected when it comes to tech monopolies.

In the words of our lord and savior Linus Torvalds "NVIDIA, fuck you! 🖕", amen.

In all reality, a lot of individuals aren't gonna care when it comes to EULA B's unless they absolutely depend on it and this whole move has me want an AMD gpu even more.

last I heard AMD is working on CUDA working on their GPUs and I saw a post saying it was pretty complete by now (although I myself don't keep up with that sort of stuff)

Just came across it and it's more relevant today than when it was posted

They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.

It's sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.

From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.

Yup, this is the whole point of federation instead of just decentralisation.

This stuff is honestly incredible and the more I learn about it the more there is to appreciate.

I heard of MakeMKV before, thing is that I generally don't buy blu-rays because of the downright horrible DRM schemes.

if DRM makes it harder for me to enjoy the content I bought and paid for (this includes limiting me to some lowres garbage even though my system is more than capable of playing HD and FHD video) compared to what I would get if I were to pirate it then it's a problem of distribution; not one of morality.

you will always have some group that pirates your content no matter what; but if buying gives me a worse product because of artificial restrictions put on it I can't give any less of a shit.
there's very few streaming platforms that even give me a decent option (and I don't even properly own my library; all I get is a license to watch/listen to something, one that could be revoked at any time in the future without me being able to do anything except complain about it).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Most dvd's should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.

BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can't do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn't get much better either)

Sorry for the late response (for some reason eternity took a bit to show me this).

I used matrix a long time ago so I don't remember it too well but from what I recall my reasons for leaving are:

  1. lack of proper apps There's a few apps for matrix; but if you want to use matrix as a discord replacement you are locked into either the official element app or hope a 3rd party app supports it. Additionally most clients are written using electron; which lies at the core of a lot of issues discord has.
  2. voice calling This is less of a concern about matrix itself; but if you want to use it as a discord replacement VOIP is a hard requirement, discord has it's current market share because it had a really easy to set up and use VOIP service compared to skype (which ran itself into the ground to become teams) and teamspeak (which you need to host yourself or rent a server for). Matrix does 1:1 voice calls fine (it beats 2016 discord), but group and video calls are done over jitsi which takes the app from an annoying background electron hog to a devourer of frames when you're trying to play a game on less than ideal hardware. also because you can host a jitsi conference basically anywhere it defeats the purpose of doing one over matrix.
  3. self-hosting This is something I've heard from others as I never hosted any of these; but this is from more than just luke smith's video. Matrix servers are resource hogs, especially compared to the xmpp/jabber servers which I've heard are pretty lightweight and have the ability to integrate accounts from mastodon, lemmy, pleroma, .... Do note that I don't have personal experience on this point, so take it with a grain of salt.
  4. matrix is unintuitive This is coming from somebody who has braved the discord UI for ages which is far from intuitive either; but matrix takes a special medal in my book. It's like it's trying to mimic slack (which discord also does); but channels and servers are mixed? The UI for element (although nice looking) is straight up terrible, settings were all over the place, and when I finally thought I'd figured something out there's 3 more things I'd have to configure which are in totally different menus, friend and server channels are mixed with no way of separating them (unless there's an option in a settings panel somewhere; but even I who figured out discord's community onboarding didn't find it) The encryption and approval process for new apps is nice, on paper... in reality it means that if you get logged out on your main session (which I found constantly happened on element) you'd be unable to read any messages before and you now had to resecure your account through one of the settings panels which I will tell you right now that no sane person will ever figure out so now all the messages they send come with a warning attached. lastly there's the same issues you have with trying to onboard people onto mastodon or lemmy where they need to find an instance and deal with defederation; but turned up to 11 with nobody really explaining it. they also tell (suggest strongly so nobody really chooses anything else) you to make your account on the primary matrix server anyways which defeats the point of a decentralized protocol as nearly everyone is on the same instance.

1, 2, and 4 were by far my big gripes; and I probably could overcome 4 today now I'm familiar with the fediverse (which I wasn't even a year ago) and I bet the UI has improved at least a little since my last endeavor years ago; but 1 and 2 are dealbreakers if it ever wants to pull anyone from discord, either make the official app good, or get decent 3rd party ones; discord is surviving on linux because it's still the best option and it's not even a decent one, voice calling also needs to be improved if it wants me; because it's just easier to set up and host your own mumble server than get any shred of performance in matrix group calls and mumble's VOIP implementation is nothing short of excellent.

 

I was recently made aware that XMPP supports account integration with various fediverse platforms (including lemmy for Ejabberd).

I have long been looking for a proper chat platform that works with the fediverse and was more than disappointed by my experience with matrix. I don't know if there are other people interested in this so I'm making this post to see if there is any interest here locally.

I haven't used XMPP yet; but I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot if I could use it with one of my already existing fediverse accounts.

If japanese kanji show as their Chinese variant make sure you are using the proper font variant. My recommendation is noto-sans-cjk-jp.

Fedora does allow you to set the locale, it doesn't mention generating them so they might very well already be present You can use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/ to read more than I can tell you here.

Honestly; I have no excuse for this one ...

 

there are a couple posts across lemmy describing how to use mastodon with the service; but I have yet to find one that sums everything up neatly. also I'm doing this in my own community for moderation purposes.

1. Viewing users and communities

Any lemmy user will show up in mastodon as a normal user and vice versa, posts/toots probably won't federate properly, and toots from mastodon will not show up in lemmy for the time being as lemmy does support self-posts.

Likewise any community will show up in mastodon as a user, but this user will function like a mastodon group, you can follow the account to "join" the community and it's posts should show up in your timeline.

2. Posting to lemmy on mastodon

This is the tricky part, while it is simple in theory; due to how both platforms differ you need to keep a couple things in mind.

  1. mention the account address in your toot ex: @[email protected]
  2. the first line of your toot is the post title, titles do not support anything beyond plain text so don't put mentions, links, ... here
  3. you can use markdown formatting on lemmy
  4. the first image attached to your toot will be the preview image on lemmy, any other images will not show up at all.

3. Comments/replies

Comments from Lemmy don't seem to federate through to mastodon (I tried a whole bunch of things across various clients and I didn't manage to get a single comment through. Replies from mastodon however seem to show up in lemmy just fine.

4. Notes

A lot of this is from personal testing I conducted using this instance, I highly suggest you try some experiments yourself from another lemmy instance if you can (of course without cluttering somebody else's community without permission) and try and help lemmy and mastodon out how to federate with each other if you can.

Bit late with this one as I had quite a bit to do today, but I'll make sure that there aren't any leftovers.

 

Source: unknown (tried saucenao and iqdb)

Wanted to do a bit of a semi-regular post and like any sane person I have a collection of artwork of anime girls (totaling 3.2GiB).

 

it started popping up on lemmy 0.18 instances for me and it's inconsistent, sometimes refreshing or updating the feed or even posting something there would make the buttons pop up (as new elements that is).

I can't interact with them so something is definitely wrong.

 

I've been using this ever since I got it and besides a couple minor issues such as the touchpad I never use not working and dealing with it's NVIDIA GPU setup it's been working really well.

I've been using dwm for over 2 years now using a custom package that is automatically patched using arch's build system and I've been happily using the tokyo-night colorscheme since late last year.
