I really don't think it effects your ability to do that. I've used a split keyboard as my primary keyboard for many years, it has not at all effected my ability to use a standard keyboard. As soon as my hands are on a typical layout the muscle memory kicks in.

Hosting CSAM material? What? I've never seen CSAM on Bluesky, but I have seen it generated by Grok on Twitter.

I've seen plenty of people cheer for murder on Twitter as well, both from the left and right. Cheering for the killing of a protester is no better than cheering for the killing of a federal agent.

How the addition of user choice doesn't make it better. I agree it's suboptimal, but I feel its still a clear improvement over centralized services. Getting to choose who, if anyone, I trust as my provider is better than having no choice.

Yeah, I think Bluesky should put more effort in getting users to create their own PLC key. It's trivial for someone who knows about it to do it, but of course the average user has no idea what atproto is. They need to explain it in a user-friendly way and have a simple tool to do it.

I'm not aware of what Proton does here, I'll look into that.

You can register a recovery key which allows overriding the signing key. This allows users to move from an adversarial PDS. I do think Bluesky should push for more users to add a recovery key, but I also understand why they haven't.

Moderation tools arent limited to specific PDS's, labels are public. If an account has received many reports it will have been labelled by Bluesky's moderation account and other independent labellers. A PDS can check against these before allowing an account to migrate if they choose to. I'm not sure any are currently doing this, but this is something that can absolutely be improved in current implementations, not an inherent limitation of the architecture.

Atproto gives users choice for where their data is hosted as well as the ability to migrate their data to a new host. Users who dont want to put trust in a provider can host it themselves. How is that not an improvement over being locked in to a single centralized provider?

Yeah that's pretty much my opinion on warp. I really liked some of the ideas used for the actual terminal side of it. The IDE-like prompt and completions, file tree, vertical tabs, etc. I mostly just wanted a terminal that was trying something new UI/UX wise.

Nowadays it just tries to do so much and seems overwhelming. I'll probably still give it a try once it supports Nushell, but I'll need to spend some time disabling a ton of the extra features.

What do you mean? This is for CI, whatever the dev machine runs is irrelevant. Either way, the CI uses OCI containers built with Nix, you don't need Nix installed on the host. Also Nix supports MacOS.

People rarely read whole books anymore. I know very few adults in my life who read books, lots of people are put off by reading in school and never give it a try in their adult life.

I think the biggest offender is summer reading assignments. I never knew a single person that actually read their book, and being expected to spend time during break reading for a school assignment definitely creates a negative association.

I loved reading as a child, up until high school. Once I graduated, it took years before I enjoyed it again.

The majority of that list is quite old. Have you seen what they're doing now? Not saying every single thing they make anymore is bad, but the average quality is far lower than it used to be.

Ive been wanting to give this a try. I see that it mentions markdown formatting support, but I wonder if it actually supports markdown. I'd love to find a way to integrate it with my Obsidian vault, since I already have all my shell snippets and homelab docs there

What do you mean every time? You only need one. Plus theres loads of TLDs for different people to have similar names.

Both are great options, but if you're happy with Fedora, there's probably not a big reason to switch. Arch is a full rolling release, which requires you to be aware and ready to deal with any breaking changes each time you update your packages. On Fedora, you'll mostly only have to be ready for this on a new version release. If you want to always have the newest packages for everything and don't want to wait, then CachyOS is great. If you want to turn on auto updates and only think about changes when a major release drops, Fedora is a better pick.

Bazzite, being an atomic distro, is kind of hard to compare to. For basic use-cases like running just software available in Flathub, it is incredibly solid and easy to use. If I were choosing a Linux distro for a non-technical family member, I would go with an atomic Fedora distro and be completely confident they could get things done without breaking anything. However, if your needs are more advanced, you're going to need to be ready to relearn a lot (e.g. using containers for development), since atomic distros are a big paradigm shift from standard ones. This isn't a bad thing, just something to be ready for.

Pretty sure any screen sharing from a browser app would use the browsers screen capture api, which should just use your desktops screen sharing portal if on Wayland. Maybe make sure you have the desktop portal for your DE installed.

HN wasn't letting me comment, then I forgot about this. I wasnt trying to be hostile, I didnt think about the comment coming off that when when I wrote it. I feel you were far to quick to assume bad faith, but either way I apologize that my comment came off as argumentative.

I certainly never said nobody plays those games. I was just responding to their statement about not playing the games your friends are playing.

I dont think I'm getting trolled, I know that loads of games still dont work. I just wanted to get an idea of which games are the current biggest ones holding people back.
