Few months back #Microsoft Teams stopped supporting #Linux, and their nasty argument was "you can use our web app from your browser". Today I got this in my browser which is #Firefox.
Unfortunately I have to use Microsoft Teams because my university and the audience all have contract with Microsoft ๐
Yeah, keep fooling yourself that :microsoft: โค๏ธ :linux:
I know, Git is a mess. But, since we're stuck with it, we may as well try to learn how it works with resources like this, which aims to lead to some form of Git enlightenment.
@kzimmermann Gentoo and Guix, though I guess they're suboptimal for SBCs unless you have a lot of patience or an external build computer. Also curious to try NetBSD 10 on my more or less unused Raspberry Pi 4 once it releases.
I completely respect the #fosstodon admins' choice, but personally, I just blocked the Threads . net domain from interacting with my account.
If anything I have not missed anything coming from zuck-owned platforms for over a decade now, and I'm 100% confident I won't miss anything in the future. But if by some twist later on they can still reach / scrape my stuff in the future, then I'll probably have to resort to start hosting my own.
@kzimmermann If you don't mind, how did you block the entire domain? From searching a bit I found out you can (1) block from someone's post or (2) block from someone's profile -- no way to do it directly in my profile? I can see the empty blocked domains list in my account, but seemingly has no button to add another. Also I'm not sure what the domain is...
Damn, suddenly I wanna play Half Life 1 all over again.
I remember it used to work fantastically with wine and ubuntu until 2017 or something. Afterwards for some reason it stopped working OOTB. Dunno why. Afterwards I decided to go fully-freegaming instead.
Maybe I should revisit it or something? VM or Wine again?
@kzimmermann I agree with your points. Unfortunately it's harder to get non-techie people started with other apps, e.g. which instance/server to choose for the account, how to set up encryption, which app to use, etc. In such cases the low barrier to entry of Signal helps. Otherwise these people will just insist on using Messenger, Discord or SMS in my experience. Would really like to try XMPP, Jami or Matrix though.
@kzimmermann Don't know anyone using them/interested in using them. Used Matrix a short while for some chatrooms I guess, but I prefer IRC for this purpose.
Still struggling getting Hearthstone up and running on OpenSuSE. Lutris doesn't work, Bottles doesn't work, and tonight I tried to install it through Steam. Always gets stuck at the update mechanism before the Battle.net install.
