    There is Komikku for linux though it's kinda limited to sources it supports. Komga is a nice self hosted option with support for Mihon and all the tachiyomi forks for android. There is a tachiyomi fork called Komikku (different from the linux app) that I like.

    wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

    Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don't get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn't. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn't. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

    What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don't have to choose the largest instance out there.

    • I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should've worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.

    I love the new UI changes

    I saw today that they changed a lot about UI in the timeline. The vote buttons are at bottom instead of on the right side. Images are not tiny thumbnails anymore. Even, the thumbnails feel better somehow. I love all these changes. The only small nitpick I have is that, the vote buttons are a little small, it feels more so in the main post. And a very unreasonable complaint, that I don't think need to be addressed, would be, the vote buttons are too generic. Would love a little more style and better colour contrast.

    Start with Gentoo or Arch

    I wouldn't recommend arch to general users. I consider myself a general linux user, and figuring out Arch, even after the installation hurdle, wasn't easy for me.

    is like fixing windows when it doesn’t

    I don't think Arch really makes that easy. Although, I guess archwiki is pretty great. Even arch forum helped me a lot with respect to other disto.

    I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.

    I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn't let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

    Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate "loli" content to a degree that other side doesn't. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

    If piefed decides to create an api later, I would prefer they did their own thing and try to be lemmy compatible. Looking at misskey, I think not forcing api to be compatible with the more popular service has many upsides.

    There are valid criticism to be made about cosmic desktop, like
    - their very liberal customization options that doesn't stop users from ruining the look of the desktop
    - their insistent to theme libadwaita apps disregarding app developers wishes against supporting custom themes.

    But those are just subjective criticism and it's still in alpha. All his "criticism" amounts to is whining about the software having glitches in alpha stage.

    With my limited knowledge in the subject, after reading their paper, what I understand is, although they say it like it was a great success, their experiment, in its current state, will fail at scale. But, it is a progress compared to previous methods. Also, photons do not play nice.

    I was just thinking if a self hostable tracking solution was possible. Right now, I use MALSync on Firefox. Used to use Tachiyomi, but stopped after they discontinued and tracking on Browder with an extension just feels faster. BTW, just in case, there's an app called Miru (and a fork Migu) that has built-in auto tracking with anilist.

    I just plugged in my Fire TV and tried running urusai.social on the default browser (Amazon Silk) installed in there. It's not the best experience, but you can certainly use Mastodon, Misskey, Piefed etc. Also, you can install APK files in Fire TV. And I assume these will work on a Fire Tablet as well.

    It has all the hardware for a convertible laptop. Right now, I am using an auto-rotate gnome extension, and it works, but for some reason gnome doesn't recognize when I flip my laptop to go into tablet mode. Although my firmware recognize it properly, seeing as they turn off keyboard light automatically. So my guess is, the problem is on Gnome's side.

    I don't know understand why you need markdown, but if you are so used to vim motions why not switch to latex instead. You wouldn't have to worry about katex support as well. This is an advice solely based on your need for katex support without understanding your needs.

    How to use power button to wake up laptop on tablet mode

    Recently I switched to Fedora 40 from Ununtu. Now, I am facing this weird problem, whenever my laptop suspends I cannot use the power button to wake my laptop if it's in tablet mode. It works fine in normal case. Also, this wasn't an issue in Ubuntu. Anyone knows how I can change it? I am using a 2in1 laptop (Dell) if it's relevant
