Huh? That has gotten very easy with the RPMfusion repos for those drivers especially being enabled by default so you can just install them from the main software center. But this isn’t exactly new.

They either have some licensing agreement with the IP holders of these codecs or do it on legally questionable grounds.

You are pretty naive about their ability and willingness to tell anyone especially after all the bad press they got for the case above. They don’t have a warrant canary and their excuse why not only applies to Swiss citizens.

A rule 34 enjoyer it seems 😏

Already happening.

They sadly can’t do that for legal reasons.

You could try it with KaraDAV. Much simpler and works fine with the Nextcloud apps.

Well, the Pixelfed dev is apparently being pestered by VC funders right now.

Yes there are some bridges like that for xmpp as well. It used to be very popular, but bridges like that break very often which has soured the enthusiasm of it in the xmpp ecosystem quite a bit. Recently there has been a renewed effort via the Slidge gateway framework however.

“Revolutionary governments” aka Military Juntas 🙄

Most non-Mastodon “microblogging” software handles longer messages just fine. My Akkoma instance for example defaults to 5000 letters and there isn’t really a limit interface wise.

With new parts yes, but except for a brief period after a new console is released you can buy used PC parts for playing games of similar graphically fidelity for about the same price or slightly cheaper.

It works well though 🤷‍♂️

Maybe you should get checked for a stroke you had before already if you can’t parse regular English sentences 😏

Doesn’t seem to be what they are asking for, but I am also a bit confused about what exactly they are asking for.

No they are not end to end encrypted, but you can restrict access to subscribers only and if you self-host it, e2ee isn’t really needed.

For end to end encrypted photo sharing there are these two open source projects that also offer a for pay cloud storage:

• https://ente.io/
• https://stingle.org/

The only Fediverse project that offers optional e2ee messages is Hubzilla afaik.

It wasn’t me who used a cringe party metaphor first 🤷‍♂️

Make sure you use a MariaDB or MySQL database. Despite what the (very incomplete) docu says, Postgres support is broken.

One thing about Cory’s books is that there is always some extremely cringe party section with some rather forced romance part screaming “how do you do fellow kids?” even to me, a middle aged guy himself.

The above is also cringe, even though the argument has some (limited) merit. Look, Cory… just admit some rich friend of yours talked you into signing up for this on the last silicon vally party you attended. We all make mistakes like that some time 🤷‍♂️
