Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁

John Perry Barlow was right: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence

and some games like SuperTuxKart are playable

while I don’t know the answer to the question, I am very certain that

or would whole fediverse crash

is not it; if that could make the whole fediverse crash, someone could do it maliciously. At most it will cause problems delivering your messages or delivering messages to you.

7/28. Of course no one would ever do most of those things, they are interesting to think about but with little practical use.

There’s an option in the settings to make Ctrl+Tab cycle by last used tabs instead of the order they appear in in the tab bar. I have that turned off, so can’t tell you 100% whether it does what you want…

Otherwise of course if you still know the name of the tab, just type whatever you can remember into the address bar, that is how I find tabs usually.

That’s not how FOSS works. Even if Discover were delivered with a blacklist of certain packages, the distributor could change or completely remove that blacklist; hence why it would be pointless to have one. I’m about to report this thread for being offtopic here because what (non-KDE software) a certain Linux distro has in its repos is unrelated to KDE.

That is what happens when you follow a Lemmy community on Mastodon: all posts and comments will appear in your timeline as having been boosted by that Lemmy community account.

[email protected] is a Lemmy community, not the “KDE Lemmy account”, so if you follow this, you’ll get all posts and comments posted to this community in your feed (and all of them will look like my OP for you, nothing I can do about it). If you just want to follow the KDE social media team, then you should follow @[email protected] instead (or maybe in addition).

I posted exactly the same link as you, no link to my instance; you seem to be posting from Mastodon, where you always just get a link to the thread on the original instance, I suggest you use Lemmy to read Lemmy communities and Mastodon to follow microbloggers.

yeah, I saw your instance only after posting the above comment :D

Still, some other people reading this thread might not know this; I think the way you guys are doing it is a good way to get your articles more widely spread, I think it would be good if other media organizations did the same.

Media organizations typically don’t want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.

That being said, @[email protected] does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

There already is a Firefox/LibreWolf extension called Worldwide Radio which I occasionally use. Not trying to make you not use Transistor, but you may be interested in it.

Of course, many KDE apps that were first released in the last ~20 years don’t have a K in their names.

probably not, maybe you could ask a former sysadmin of lemm.ee whether they have a copy of the database and can extract this data for you, but if that doesn’t work, they’re probably gone

Dubai is likely the most well-known part of the UAE, so you may have heard people mention Dubai as if it were a country (because the audience might associate more with “Dubai” than “UAE”), without them meaning to imply that it’s a real country.

There are certainly irredentist movements in many parts of the world that want to restore previous states of geopolitics, including the existence of the Soviet Union.

A country is ultimately a country if it is recognized as such by other countries. There are videos on the Internet that give greater details (search for keywords like “how many countries are there”). There are many places that some other countries say are countries, others not.

???

Out of the ones you mention, Dubai is in fact not a real country and I have not seen anyone claim that it is; it is a city and region of the country called the United Arab Emirates.

Israel isn’t universally recognized by all countries because some countries claim it is illegitimate (for religious reasons, because they say it is a colonialist project, etc. etc.).

Belgium is a country with different parts speaking different languages also spoken in neighboring countries, that is why some people have claimed it’s not (culturally) its own country, but I don’t think anyone seriously refuses to recognize it as a country.

As for Latvia, no idea whatsoever what you’re talking about.

So the question as asked is unanswerable because you’re giving confusing and inconsistent examples.

If they are using someone else’s GPL code and adding requirements like that, then yes, that is infringement.

I use neither Arch nor Ubuntu, btw

For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.

An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.

not everything bad is enshittification, it’s not meant to be a universal buzzword

Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.
