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.

Uninstalling GNOME Software should do that if you just want to upgrade traditionally through dnf upgrade and you don't need GNOME Software.

What's "on read"?

[–] anothermember@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

I don't consider not using it "hardcore", it's just not there any more. Reddit isn't the place it used to be when I joined, so I don't have the option of using Reddit as I knew it. I'll occasionally look there for some niche subjects that aren't represented here but I'm almost always disappointed, it's rarely quality discussion these days.

It just means that the decision comes down to the instance owner not the software developer, which I think is right. Everyone should be able to decide what their computer does, that's important to hold on to.

It wouldn't be a free software licence by the FSF definition (rule zero). Of interest the FSF rejects the original JSON licence because it contains the clause “The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” Since Mastodon uses AGPL, it wouldn't be compatible.

That's a really misleading headline; a Mastodon instance has done this, Mastodon as a whole can't do this because it's free software, it can be used for any purpose.

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.
