@freemo hi. there is a student who is doing a research on decentralized social media who I had a pleasant conversation with. If you can spare an hour of your time I would like her to hear about your experiences with moderating the Fediverse. :ablobcatcoffee: @marhshay

@hellvolution is this your new account or how come I am not following you?

@hellvolution you picked a good instance. I like this @freemo admin dude.

@tyil this is probably not helpful at all but I use Flatpak Element on Debian and I am checking out Nheko. I am also on FF ESR.

@tyil the mental health part I agree 100% with you. It’s just that I prefer native software and not “web apps” and that’s why I am testing Nheko.

@tyil I am hoping that Matrix could be a better path for the future (for people) than Discord is. I still remain hopeful.

@killyourfm yeah, it's certainly not the end of the world. I rushed it because I wanted to start...

@killyourfm I am impatient. I have been impatient when I spent $25 on that domain yesterday and now I am impatient to get the bloody site up an running.

But I am still unsure if I am happy with the domain name. The same one without the dash is also available, btw. But I am lost...

Is putting a dash in your URL a bad idea?

Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.

@LinuxRenaissance at 16:45 there is something for you @libreoffice

@freemo I would expect no less based an answer from you. :drake_like:

I know a lot of people who say pirating is bad because people lose jobs because of that, and the company earns significantly less money... The very same people are okay with borrowing and even finding the best 2nd hand deal so they can finish the game fast and sell it for slightly more than they bought it for.

So, although I will always be pro-legal way of doing things, I can't quite wrap my head around my initial question.

Do you consider borrowing #VideoGames the same as pirating them? If not, then what do you think the negative effect of pirating is?

Testing Mastodon from the command line using the program called "toot". Looks and functions very slick. Not that I expected it to not function, but there is one unexpected thing about it! See, as everyone else on Fediverse, I have been putting ALT text on my pictures in order to make this social media more accessible. However, by accessible I always thought of legally blind people. But now that I am in a CLI Mastodon program I came to fully appreciate everyone's effort on ALT texting. You rock.

#VideoGames

@MsMadLemon if you ever get the courage again I would love to hear it.

@MsMadLemon I thought you would be singing :)

Daily reminder to pirate games so that you can have a better experience than paying customers. Or pay for the game, but play a pirated copy. 🤷

#Gaming #VideoGames

@stigatle why not C?

I am asking this as a complete noob, BTW. I know the difference in theory, but I'd like to learn from someone who knows first hand.

@stigatle that's a pretty dog!
