The communities tab now gives a dropdown menu that appears to be correct.

I clicked on the “Communities” drop down and got a site wide error.
The very first page I tried going to off that landing page errored out.

But as I said I’m no expert. I’ll check out that vid.

2·7 months agodefinitely not an LRAD expert, but I thought the audible sound was only a small portion of what it does and so ear protection may not be very useful.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?English
4·1 year agoI’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.

306·1 year agoI’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.
Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)
Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)
On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.
And this essentially never stops.
All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.
I could have gone and made it fit
That woulda been ever so lit.
But the effort was much
And the payoff was such,
I just didn’t bother to try it.
You want to be a poet,
And sought a place to show it.
You picked a strange host
And thread for your post,
This URL would be more fit!
Avoiding discussion of politics is the privilege of those who benefit from oppression.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What existing organizations should start hosting fediverse instances? Which ones are already doing so?English
191·2 years agoAll of them.
Every news org. Every University. Every high school. The SPCA. Doctors Without Borders. Swing Left. Every brand that has a following: iCloud should include one with their services. Every band/performance group—I’m surprised They Might Be Giants hasn’t jumped on this.

If you can find a server, that is literally local in focus, I recommend that. Literally Geo local.
Indigo Home automation software
HomeBridge

I run a Hubzilla instance on my hosting provider, but that’s probably coming down shortly. Hubzilla is weird, the community is full of grumpy old men, and engagement is low.


Getting the core of FB users to move off FB is going to be REALLY hard.
Because people who would love to get off of it are connected there to people who think it is just fine. And those people are also afraid of change.
