    An alternative decentralized internet for sharing text and media: The Gemini Protocol

    geminiprotocol.net

    Project Gemini

    See also:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

    It is similar to the old gopher: text files, links, and images form a hypertext optimized for reading. Text is formatted like Markdown - but even simpler.

    Clients display text, like an eBook, or images / media.

    Servers can run on a PC or Raspberry Pi which needs half a Watt of power. No FAANG companies needed. No expert knowledge needed - not more difficult than running a file sharing client.

    I think it is the right thing for defense of democracy and sharing your voice in the digital realm.

  • Second: Wake from sleep. Just doesn't work properly on my desktop PC running Fedora 43 with KDE. AMD CPU and GPU, etc. The computer does wake up but the display never does, and nothing short of a hard power cycle seems to make it recover. Works just fine on my Thinkpad which is running the same environment, also all AMD but with just whatever AMD integrated graphics came with the CPU in that case.

    Having chatted with some other people experiencing the same thing with similar hardware setups and F43 with KDE it apparently doesn't manifest if using GNOME, just KDE. For now I just have the desktop set to turn off the display when idle but to not put the machine to sleep. I am a KDE enjoyer, GNOME does not float my boat.

    Lol I have a similar issue, with Debian on my AMD laptop. But for me it's already on GNOME and it only manifests randomly -_-

    First: Adobe shit. I depend on Adobe Lightroom. This is entirely on Adobe. I know about the alternatives, but apparently I suck and can't get good at them. I keep a Mac laptop around just to use this application. I tried screwing around with Wine and VMs to get it working, but it's pretty useless without GPU acceleration, and so far the only way to get that in a VM is to have a second dedicated GPU just for the VM. Plus, that still requires keeping a Windows installation around.

    Have you seen the news about the Wine patch from a random GOATED dev that fixes the CC installer? Iirc they tested Photoshop so far and reports it's "buttery smooth" so other Adobe softwares might not be too far behind!

    UX Strategist: The Only Job Where Saying ‘It Depends’ Is Considered Expertise

    UX Strategist: The Only Job Where Saying ‘It Depends’ Is Considered Expertise › DNSK.WORK

    Hired a UX strategist who said "it depends" to every question? That's not nuanced thinking. That's professional hedge-betting that cost me $47K and 6 months. Here's what actually happened.

    A UX strategist is supposed to bridge business goals and user needs through high-level planning. They’re meant to answer questions like “Should we build this?” and “Which problems matter most?” before anyone opens Figma.

    In practice, most I’ve worked with excel at one thing: not committing to answers.

    “Should we prioritize mobile or desktop?” “It depends on your user base.”

    “Which feature should we ship first?” “It depends on your business goals.”

    “When should we launch?” “It depends on market conditions.”

    Every answer buys them more time to conduct another research phase, run another workshop, build another framework. They become professional question-deflectors who get paid to suggest you need more information before making any decision.

    And here’s the thing – they’re not wrong. Everything in product development genuinely does depend on context. But when “it depends” becomes the primary output of someone earning $120-180 per hour, you’re not getting strategy.

  • What was the issue with lemmy.zip? It's well maintained and the blocklist is quite short

    If you want an instance not federated with hexbear, grad and ml, then infosec.pub should do it

    .zip is on the short list for sure, the Triad federation though is a detractor for me, but not necessarily a deal breaker. I also don't want to just default to one of the big instances that every one is on

    You once told me that power posters like me are essentially de facto advertisers for an instance, so I'm keeping that in mind as I go through these instances. I would like to promote small instances through my posting, so eventually I'll probably just starting posting from random instance accounts that I've already made

    Infosec.pub is decent, but was having issues when I went through it. That was either the one that was sporadically going down or the one that was taking 45+ seconds to post every post (I'd have to check my notes). But I discovered, like you said, it defederates from the entire Triad so that's a big plus. I'll revisit it for sure to see if the issues I encountered were just bad timing

    If you are using alts to federate communities, that's fine, but keeping posting from one account would be better, those are two different things

    Because I post such a wide variety of content, simply posting is an effective way to discover what comms are and are not federated on an instance (short of writing a bot to do it ofc, but whats the fun in that?)

    Also, if an instance is missing big communities, the admins probably didn't bother setting up Lemmy-federate , and users didn't bother to ask either, so it's probably a quite low population instance

    That's true for at least one instance I've been on, but I honestly think that bot is not as reliable as it seems...

  • For other people blocking me, I don't really care if they do or don't, it's just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons:

    Shopping for a new home instance

    Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the "hot" feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you're on lol)

    ::: spoiler Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::)

    Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job

    Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to

    For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I'm not making a whole bunch on any one instance
