truemoose··on Turn your site into a place people can bump into each other
I love it, and I just want to say thanks for making this and releasing it. I jumped through the indieweb webring and already stumbled onto another site using it too. Despite what some others have said about the lack of permanence, this still feels like an old web treasure to me even if it didn't exist.
truemoose··on Reddit’s blackout protest is set to continue indefinitely
At the top of the front page of any Lemmy instance (e.g., lemmy.world), you'll see a green and white button that reads, "[ Subscribed | Local | All ]. Just click All and you'll be looking at the feed equivalent of r/all. It will display the feed from all federated instances combined.

The official Android app, Jerboa, doesn't require an account at all and defaults to anonymous browsing.

Not sure why you couldn't continue doing so with Lemmy. Like reddit, you only need an account to participate, not browse.

Now if only they'd unlock volume control on their A-series Pixel Buds too.
truemoose··on On the Gnome project and “my way or the highway”
Oh, the arrogance. How dare they make something the way they want it made, and then have the nerve to give it away for free? Some people, eh?
truemoose··on On the Gnome project and “my way or the highway”
I would understand the frustration I hear from some users if this were a paid product...but it isn't.

The GNOME project is a massive undertaking and completely free. It's written by volunteers, sponsored developers, and commercial developers who derive their revenue from elsewhere. They own the trademark, so of course they're going to use it.

The bottom line is that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people happily use GNOME every day (yes, I'm currently one of them). I did _not_ care for legacy GNOME, and back then I chose something else (usually dwm and xmonad).

I really don't see what this fuss is about. There is a vast selection of alternative desktop environments and window managers to choose from. Get over it.

truemoose··on Lastpass Security Incident
As mentioned throughout this thread, Syncthing can seamlessly sync between Android phones and Windows/Linux hosts. There are apps for iOS as well, but they can be a bit more finicky due to Apple's app sandbox implementation.
