Yep! When you @ tag a Lemmy community account it posts to that community as a post regardless of what type of fedi account you use. The formatting is a bit weird though, it grabs the first few sentences of posts and puts them as the subject

It can lead to some accidental posts though, always interesting to see these pop up (ex: someone trying to message the Firefox mastodon account accidentally posting to the Firefox Lemmy community). We don’t see any other fedi post types except Lemmy posts, so we don’t really see other parts of the fediverse unless they @ tag the communities.

Here’s what it looks like on Lemmy

At the time of writing this reply, its at 345k now. I read through the petition and agree entirely with it with that context.

Funnily enough same for me, I already had a prebuilt gaming PC but after spending the time trying to get ahold of the PS5, I just started saving and made my first PC build as an upgrade to what I already had, feel like it was the better choice in the long run.

If the launch of these is anything like the original launch, I think I’ll pass on this one too. That launch experience trying to get ahold of one really soured me on the PS5

If you’re open to recommendations, sideloading uYou+ (via altstore or other methods, no jailbreak needed) is sort of like ReVanced but for iOS.

There’s also Yattee which is on the App Store or you can sideload it. It can connect to a Piped or Invidious instance to play YouTube vids.

Both of them are open source if that’s important for you

There are these little handheld console things you can get online for like $20-50 if you think she’d like older games like classic Nintendo, one of the cheap ones is called data frog SF2000 and it looks like an old SNES controller or this one for something higher quality that can run more consoles https://powkiddy.com/products/powkiddy-q90-3-inch-ips-screen-handheld-console-dual-open-system-game-console-16-simulators-retro-ps1-kids-gift-3d-new-games

They’re a little janky but they get the job done, they’re basically just a tiny weak laptop with emulators built in that you can only play the games on

Haven’t used it in a while, but in the time I used it I didn’t have many issues maintaining it. General rule is to just check out the news before you update because they’ll warn you if a package is likely to break stuff or requires manual intervention to update.

I remember installing a package that would prompt me for any packages I was about to update that had a new warning/news since the last update and would link me to it, but I haven’t been able to remember what it was called, it was really helpful.

Edit: It was this (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/informant), though just reading the announcements before every update would be just as effective

Basically a trap made to look tempting or valuable, ex: police run a site to buy illegal stuff for cheap to catch the people trying to buy it, like catching flies that want the honey

In this case if Tor Browser is a honeypot it means feds run the majority of nodes and would have a high chance of being able to easily identify users.

Most terminals on Linux don’t show any feedback when you’re typing your password, so that someone looking over your shoulder can’t tell how long or short it is.

It’s still registering it as you type, type your password and press enter and it will work despite not showing anything.

Traditional on a mouse, natural on a touchpad. Any other way feels wrong to me.

Openboard was good but got abandoned a year-ish ago, but there’s a fork of it now that I’d highly recommend checking out, they have glide typing but you have to manually install it but it’s a really easy install. I switched from gboard and I’ve been using it for about a month or two happily.

Archive links in case the link is down: GhostArchive / Archive.ph / Archive.org

Edit: Installing the glide typing makes it partially non-foss because it uses Google’s glide typing library, which is also why it has to be manually installed.

I can’t remember for sure but I think that I got Xbox cloud games working on Firefox before with thr user agent switcher back when I had it, it also works well for those sites that don’t work in Firefox sometimes.

That’s a YMMV thing though because sometimes the sites just genuinely don’t work in Firefox rather than just being blocked because they haven’t tested it

Oh definitely, I’m a bit hesitant about them because of things like that, I just consider them as an “it’s at least better than Google” kind of thing

This is no longer the case as of August last year, they managed to get the terms of the agreement changed https://www.pcworld.com/article/828064/duckduckgo-will-now-block-microsoft-trackers-too.html
