@humanetech use codeberg :blobcatsip:

@miren @BreachCat

You might check @hostea which does #Gitea hosting (the initiative will be renamed to #Gna soon).

@dachary and @realaravinth are involved with that.

@r3vlibre @werwolf @gotosocial

Umm, I don't know how I get a non-404 direct link to that toot from masto UI, or at all. But it said:

> I'm loving the #GoToSocial experience! It doesn't break, I rarely feel its presence and upgrades are stupid easy.

@r3vlibre @werwolf

Good suggestions. Dunno about masto compat, but @gotosocial might tick your boxes.

Young project, still early days, but raving reviews, like: https://gts.batsense.net/@realaravinth/statuses/01GBT7N72W2TE2KV4AS4TAD1H2

@emi oomph, this is a hard choice.

@BreachCat not on codeberg :D

I am a generalist. It is a curse.

@BreachCat lack of skills + time to acquire them :owi:

@BreachCat well, not much, unless you can PR that ;)

But I *really* miss search on #Gitea / #Codeberg (unless the feature exists in a place I haven't discovered yet).

@BreachCat btw, talking about that.. #Gitea still lacks good search facilities ?

@BreachCat he he, yes of course I do. But not everyone followed ?

Why do both #Github and #Gitlab have such hard to remember advanced search query language?

And why do quotes not work to look for exact strings?

At least GH has an "Advanced" screen where can set individual filter types. Did not find that on GL, which imho has less intuitive UX all over the place. May be that practice makes perfect ?♂️

#Gitlab: "You must sign in to search for specific terms"

Really? Can't even search for open issues with 2 text keywords?

Es gibt @flockingbird aber es wird noch entwickelt.

Here's the @matrix announcement that mentions the particular #Security #CVE's.

Fedizens on #Matrix ..

If you had trouble with missing rooms in #Element-Web then I have good news.

The Element team has been really busy with creating a fix, even working on Sunday. It was #security issue, as explained in a blog post that was just published.

You should update your Element client asap.

(I have some more things to check, as #Android mobile apps of Element and #FluffyChat also displayed the wrong number of rooms, but #Firefox is a go)

@KitKat @matrix

Oh wow. I had this 'flickering screen' issue on my brand new laptop with #Ubuntu 22.04 and thought I had found the bug describing it (which involved adding magical processor config to Grub as a workaround).

Except that their described flickering was much worse than what I experience.

I just now notice that it is the Brightness dial going up and down by itself. Yea, the UI slider is actually moving by itself like the crazy compass on The Flying Dutchman.

@teledyn @jollyrogue @lutindiscret

Wow, that is a scare :(

I use Firefox Sync, which I guess is a help to get bookmarks and history and all that jazz synchronised across installations.

Freaking hell.. #Firefox doesn't restore tabs after a reboot?? I hope this was a one-off nasty surprise, and not related to my new Ubuntu 22.04 and the thing living inside a snap. which is bitching about an update.

@teledyn I just got exposed to both #snap and #flatpak and both don't leave a good impression.

With flatpak that may be because #Ubuntu doesn't like them as a competitor, or something went wrong in the install. But apps installed weren't added to Applications in the UI and should be started from CLI with non-intuitive flatpak names.

Anyway after a clean install adventure with countless shit, I decided I won't get my elderly parents from Windows to Linux. It is not for them.

@jollyrogue @teledyn

On Ubuntu the Snaps feel like crammed in.

Like for Firefox I get nagged by notification: "Snap needs to upgrad in 13 days, close program then" or something. Clicking the notification doesn't bring you to upgrade screen.

Then navigating to Applications, Firefox in list is marked "installed", but on clicking the entry it says "Install", no indication it is already there.

Since Flatpak aren't Ubuntu's experience may be even worse.
