Excessive for my threat model, one more thing which could break something (even if by no fault of its own).

I like it as a concept, but many of my devices don’t use it.

Send an email to their webmaster if you haven’t already. The more of us, the better.

Why not Debian directly instead of MX?

Debian requires more config out-of-the-box to get a nice desktop/laptop experience. This is ready to go.

I’m only used it as installed onto a USB, and in fact I chose it for that reason, so my experience isn’t ideal because of that USB drive speed but it’s a great lightweight OS that looks nice out of the box. Lightweight doesn’t have to look clunky or feel strange or unfeatured. I recommend it if there are reasons that lightweight is important (old hardware, low-end hardware, portable OS, … )

Yep, it’s presently a hard ultracapitalist oligopoly dominated by four companies, with the last two presidents impeached, the first of the two was groomed by a cult.

But this is the Sixth Korean Republic. After the initial US military dictatorship, there have been many cases of SK military dictatorship, the most recent one being 1979-1987 I believe.

IDK, this post says “GPT-5.3-min” which is not an open-weight model AFAIK.

They claim it’s not being used, it’s really using a local model, which is inline with their anarchist ethos so I’m leaning towards believing that, and that the GPT reference is an in-joke. I do think it’s unprofessional to write something like that, even as a joke, but it’s not the first time I’ve seen unpaid mods make dumb mistakes like that.

Specifically asking for political classification is a little bit weird though.

Out of context, yes.

In context, dbzer0 is an explicitly anarchist instance - the users of the instance have shared political values, and their instance rules ban certain politics (such as fascism) - so it’s a legitimate part of the moderators’ job there to assess politics and ban any which break their rules. Their users don’t want to see certain politics.

It wildly depends on the articles/topic, but yes, it’s generally not trustworthy. Especially anything politics or corporate, but sometimes articles on objective topics can have issues.

Thanks for the screencap. It looks nice! Much more focused than Hydrus.

Other have already explained, but to simplify, a tag-based media archive. The original is Danbooru (cardboard), an anime-based one (including NSFW, so I haven’t linked). They often tend to be fandom-based.

A high-quality safe-for-work example of a standard online booru is Find A Fox.

OP’s tool is a local single-user booru instead, using Hydrus Network as an example. Personally, I like its UI, and while it has a developer-driven swiss-army knife design vibe, I still like it and have used a wide range of its many options. I haven’t tried Blombooru and can’t see many screenshot samples so I can’t assume what specific issues OP has and how Blombooru solved them.

Defenestrit

Adblockers have been mentioned a hundred times, as they should.

Annual reminder to donate to Invidious too. YouTube has done some serious work to try and block most of the instances.

What’s been your favorite non-Abrahamic, non-local celebration?

It seems to me like many have arrived from huge mainstream sites and don’t realize that the fedi is actually pretty big. There are many thousands of us, just look at this community’s stats alone!

When you’ve explored beyond the core of the internet and found websites where there truly are dozens of you, it’s much more calm and communal (or as screentime enthusiasts would call it, slow and ded). I actually was on Lemmy back when there were mere hundreds of us, when many were yearning for the day when reddit would shoot its own foot and bring people here. So I’m very grateful that there aren’t dozens of us! Welcome!

That’s it, I’m deleting the internet

Oh hey, my anniversary is coming up.

For base daily driver on desk and lap, just a stable standard beginner friendly distro. I’ve customized it a lot, added custom hotkey scripts here and there, but it’s so close to base that a stranger could use it. VMs for anything specialist, a couple of portable USB distros for presentation/demo/one-purpose OS environments, but for the most part I’ve just kept it simple and clean.

And eventually, maybe they’ll even tell their old people friends about it. I can definitely see one of my mom’s friends complaining about how slow their computer is, and my mom saying “well my son put this Linux stuff on our computer, and it sped everything right up” and then boom you got old people getting curious about it too.

That’s a good point. If we’ve reached a point where the basic experience Just Works while solving real Windows issues (incl updates and performance), then it’s going to get word-of-mouth praise instead of complaints. And if regular people start hearing about Linux stuff improving their computer, it’s going to mean far more than my ideological rants about owning your own tools and community created software.

They fully support the Russian invasion

wut? Even lemmygrad.ml doesn’t - their support of the Russian Federation’s invasion has always been critical, not full. Just like their support for Hamas is critical - it’s extremely obvious that neither the capitalist-run RF nor the Islamist Hamas are groups they agree with at all.

(I am not a campist, I’m simply explaining the campist concept of “critical support”)

Just ban everything and everyone you don’t agree with.

They were specific about what they didn’t agree with: Authoritarianism.

And if they don’t want to tolerate guests from an instance that allows Zionism, then good. Any feddit.org members who think their admins’ permissiveness is tolerable are complicit in the promotion of Zionism, even if they aren’t intentionally complicit. Yes, hanging around with pro-genocide people should earn punishment, such as ostracization until they stop hanging around pro-genocide people. It’s a social media account on the Fediverse, switching isn’t difficult.

We did the same thing to Wolfballs, until their admin closed the instance because it was filled with literal neo-Nazis calling the admin a ‘race-traitor’. Tolerating every belief is utopian, pointless and self-destructive.

Somewhat relevant are the Subvertisers for London (as well as similar groups all over the world):
