@cde87831 If they enjoy it and especially if they can use it in their lives (in this case a competitive advantage in a card game) they are certainly far more likely to actually understand and remember how it works rather than just copy from a book. I have no clue about all that pedagogic stuff but I would say implementing something in a realistic scenario close to them is probably one of the best ways to actually teach people!
Something about #Mobian's #Epiphany isn't right, it lags a lot more than on #PostmarketOS and the text selection is broken, I only get the right click menu instead! Is it a older version or something?
I know it's probably a move towards integrating to #Debian but is there any way to get the old #Mobian wiki back? I really liked that wiki software and thing the old and rather ugly one Debian uses is hard to navigate and a awful solution, especially for a mobile project!
@sj_zero@c6d0060b@realcaseyrollins ✝️ I get your point but I don't even want to know how dark certain corners of the Fediverse are and kind of doubt anyone would feel even remotely safe there!
@1cc11b6f I am not a programmer so I can't really help much but as owner of a Linux phone and Bitwarden user I hate to use the desktop website and would love to see a project like that! I would certainly try out even very early versions and do my best to promote the project a little!
@643f20a5 Interesting, for some reason (don't ask me why) I thought you had a bar bones image (like DanctNIX Arch) for people who don't want Phosh but I guess that's just my head. My favorite DE has been Phosh since I got my PmOS community edition anyways but I feel like that would be a cool and relatively low effort thing to have, I guess its probably quite a bit of maintenance work too tho!
@643f20a5 I will just go with Phosh again but didn't you have bare bones images too? I am probably just too stupid to find them rn but I am almost certain that those exist too or at least did at some point and if this works out I would love to start from scratch!
@643f20a5 Interesting, I just tried to install the Lomiri package out of curiosity and couldn't get past the login screen, that's probably the reason why! I will try to get rid of LightDM (I am fairly sure that's it because I know the look from my WM times) and see if the default for Phosh triggers again, that definitely seems to have a DE selector and I could imagine it might work that way but I should also file a bug report to fix that in the future, thanks!
(1/2) I tried #UBPorts #UbuntuTouch ages ago and beside some of the quirks with close to mainline devices I absolutely love it but I want proper access to a package manager, Flatpaks and all of the #GTK and #QT apps so its not really a option to me. Apparently they started to package their environment for Ubuntu and Debian rather than just Manjaro by now tho and if one of those works properly I could totally imagine to use #Lomiri and possibly even prefer it to my current favorite #Phosh!
(2/2) I even tried to get apps like the Morph browser working on those distros over two years ago but I am not technical enough to pull that off and I am very excited to see the entire DE and those apps working!
Interesting, seems like installing #Lomiri on #Mobian on the #Pinephone also installs lightdm which defaults to x.Org and lacks a onscreen keyboard. I guess I will enable SSH for my next attempt and see if I can uninstall it before everything goes south, if I am not right TinyDM is the default so lets hope I can preserve that I guess!

Uhm, I try to install tow-boot to a SD card with a shared storage strategy rn and the documentation is all terrible! It dose tell me how to get tow-boot itself on there and warns me that I have to follow whatever strategy they talk about but literally nothing seems to explain how to flash a OS afterwards... They do link three wiki pages but not a single one of them seems to actually cover the shared storage part properly so I am rather clueless and a little surprised how bad a guide can be!
@cb245bb4 good idea but my phone just broke and my Pinephones EMMC seems broken so I kind of have tp use tje damn thing as main phone for now, I will try it once I got my computer fixed and know I can just reflash the SDcard!
@d707ab89 That might actually not be the real issue, the configs seem to reset on reboot and possibly also in between, now I get why someone on Reddit suggested a script that constantly overwrites these configs but that doesn't sound like a great solution ether. I think I might write a EMail to Meggi for that one, they have a short blog post on the notification LED and usually know almost everything!
@d707ab89 I didn't manage to disable it entirely but I found a solution I am happy with. If you go to /sys/class/leds there are four folders for the different LED colors, in those folders are different files and one of them is called "repeat", if you simply set that in the blue folder to 1 instead of -1 the LED will only blink a single time!
I poke around in my Pinephone configs to somehow disable notification LEDs and /sys/class/leds seems very promising but for some reason the max_brightness file which seems like the easiest solution to me is read only. Dose anyone here know if there a safe way to set that to 0 or will I break stuff if I work around the limitation and will it even help?
Found a decent solution, there is also a "repeat" file in there, it won't allow 0 as a value but if you set it from -1 to 1 the LED will only blink a aingle time!
@d707ab89 Btw, know a way to permanently disable that notification LED on PostmarketOS? I looked around a bit but couldn't find a solution so far, I will probably just have to do a little more research on it but asking doesn't hurt.
I definitely missed something, I just installed #Epiphany and it's very much usable on my #Pinephone by now. Even after they got hardware acceleration the app was barely usable and now it seems to be very smooth for any app on that device, especially a web browser! It's still not the fastest but I might switch to it as my main browser or at the very least as secondary one behind #Angelfish because I prefer the interface! Dose anyone know what happened exactly?

@3ec9d23e Lemmy users often claim that defederation is a huge problem and shouldn't be used but I think it's actually quite the opposite, especially as a long time Mastodon user! Instances like Hexbear that spread facist propaganda should be excluded but the center of FOSS communities Lemmy.ml is sadly run by the Lemmy creators who also run Lemmingrad so that's going to be a real challange and causes right wing trash to flood alternatives like Lemm.ee and make those unusable.
@3ec9d23e The thread based model has the side effect of far more federation than something like Mastodon and that causes massive issues with moderation. Furthermore the community rather than account based approach also limits personal liability to some extend which causes people to drop some boundaries. If you want to use a platform like that you basically have to be ready to insult people that do the same to you, it sucks but I can't find a better way to deal with the human trash there.
@3ec9d23e Don't worry, my english isn't native ether and I know that feeling! If I understand you right I somewhat agree, I don't think it's visable to host a server for each community but even tho it's not in the activitypub protocol optional shared communities could make a lot of sense. I do think that Federation makes a lot of sense for a platform like Reddit as well tho, what I view as it's biggest issue are the Reddit users, there is so much scum on Lemmy, it's frustrating!

@3ec9d23e@e8a94444 Yea, that's the majore problem I have too. The whole thing is already split in topic based communities so further splitting is confusing but we also have to consider the social aspect. Different instances build very different groups of people and we also need some way to split those. I for example replaced the Lemmy.world technology community with the Beehaw one because I hate the neo liberal "technology will save us" garbage rather than the content in that community.

@e8a94444@3ec9d23e There was a attempt to get Activitypub support into Discourse years ago but as far as I know they didn't see the purpose and declined to implement it byond a extension. That's from a fediverse forum thread I read years ago tho and it was outdated back then so maybe things changed by now, hope dies last!
@3ec9d23e I like ot from time to time but it's a lot less civilized than Mastodon and you certainly have to choose your instance more carefully to wnsure somwthing like Hexbear and Lemmingrad is defederated!
@8b6937f0@2ed0578b I wish we could finally agree to exclude Hexbear unless they start to moderate properly, I had good conversations with some of their members but in the end the disgusting and very loud minority spamming everything with facist garbage with a bit of red paint got me to switch to a instance that doesn't federate with them. The lemmy.ml communities are unusable otherwhise, you can't even tell how many of them just try to troll but it's 4chan level shit everywhere! :(
@8b6937f0@2ed0578b I know your take on the situation but I couldn't disagree more, people spreading propaganda for authoritarian leaders like Putin and Xijinping, defending Stalin, Lenin and Mao and attempting to convince you that authoriatarian dictators are the only way to beat capitalism aren't left to lemmy.world whatsoever even if they defend LGBTQ+ rights and hate cooperations!

@8b6937f0 I don't think so but I throught about the potential a lot of times before, just not limited to the account thing. People could start to layer wikis to get more collaboration and lower the over all maintanance burdant, there could for example be a Lemmy base wiki that the indivitual inatance wikis build and expand on but idk if anyone except me would like that. My original idea was around Linux where it could make even more sense to have each distro wiki based on multiple others.
@8b6937f0 Going back to the Linux example it could allow something like Systemd, Wayland or whatever big project you want to put in there to maintain a base wiki that indivitual distros integrate and if a distros community want to add info that's beneficial to others too they could do so upstream. That way you would have distro specific and up to date information even in smaller wikis, no idea if that's ever going to be a thing tho.
