Source for this?

Steadfast. As a native English speaker it feels like a very strong, grounded word which also suits its meaning. Originally literally means fixed in place, it's come to mean loyal and unswerving.

If it reassures you, I personally haven't perceived too much bot activity here, at least not compared to Reddit. Either they're much stealthier here, or they're not here in much force.

Something I've seen on Reddit several times now, but not here, is obvious bot vote manipulation. I.e. you would go to, for example, a subreddit of a niche music artist, a newish account will make a post linking to some really obvious scam merchandise site for that artist, it would be replied to by several collaborating new bot accounts expressing desire for said merchandise and they'd all be upvoted, and regular users calling out the scam or bot activity get massively downvoted. Eventually it gets deleted by a human moderator. Not seen anything like that here.

I'd imagine Lemmy is less vulnerable since it's small, bot makers will gain more for targeting bigger sites like Reddit, and I hope if it got bigger here the decentralised setup would give ways to defend against it, like defederating instances (temporarily if appropriate) that have been compromised by a lot of bots.

I think it makes the point that needlessly large cars add even more risk than necessary.

Buses on net reduce the number of vehicles on the road which makes them a net benefit for safety.

Yes, it's definitely getting better and should be celebrated, it's a good video, I'm just concerned that the title might discredit the message for many people since it's showing mainly areas outside of the City where the statistic doesn't apply to.

It's great but is the statistic referring to the City of London or Greater London since that's a big difference? (City of London being a small part of Greater London). The video talks about and shows lots of areas of London that aren't the City. But the specific wording of the title makes me think they might be overstating things since it would be much easier to achieve in just the City since a lot of people don't drive there anyway.

I don't have to walk more that 10 minutes to a "grocery store" where I live (which is kind of in between rural and urban) but occasionally I might walk 3+ km and back to somewhere with a better selection, take a backpack, that's not an unreasonable walk to me. If I had to do it every day I might complain.

The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

No that link opens in your instance for me like a vanilla hyperlink, I've used several instances all with Lemmy's default web front end and that's always been the behaviour in my experience, maybe some apps do it differently? If it did it automatically wouldn't the software have to have hard-coded knowledge of every other instance to know whether to handle it as a Lemmy link or somewhere else on the web?

Free as in freedom. But also free as in cost for most PC use cases. Red Hat and SUSE are mostly selling enterprise services.

That's useful thanks for sharing.

It feels like there should be something like that built into Lemmy and I was a bit surprised there isn't, just like how you can link to a community for example with !fediverse@lemmy.world

I feel like that article is really playing up the drama. There was a proposal, a discussion and a decision to reject the proposal after concerns were brought up. All in all a mature decision making process, right? No need to frame it as a big drama.

That's not the argument here, actual antisemitism (which this is not) is still unacceptable prejudice against a people and not "stealth blasphemy laws", this has nothing to do with religion.

What’s new?

We’ve promoted our KDE Plasma Desktop offering to “Edition” status. The Fedora KDE team has been hard at work making sure bugs get fixed and everything is polished just so. We’re confident that this can stand along our other amazing flagship offerings.

I know the naming is a bit confusing, with GNOME-powered “Workstation” using a generic label while KDE Plasma Desktop has the tech right in the name. We’ll get that figured out eventually. If you don’t know where to start, don’t panic. Pick one and see how it goes. They’re both excellent desktop environments with great upstream communities, and the same Fedora system underneath it all.

We also have a new alternative desktop choice: COSMIC. This is a modern, written-all-in-Rust desktop environment from our friends over at System 76.

Perhaps most excitingly, we have a new installation interface! The previous UI was designed to manage a lot of before-you-even-start configuration choices. Over the past decade, though, we’ve gone to “get the full system installed with no fuss, then set up what you need from a complete environment”. That made the “hub and spoke” model more confusing than helpful. The new UI is streamlined and sleek, just like the Heart of Gold.

Of course, there are other big changes, as well as the usual updates to thousands of packages. See the Fedora Linux 42 Release Notes for all of the details, and don’t miss the “What’s New?” posts here on Fedora Magazine.
