Same here. The learning curve is higher on Vespucci, but once you’re familiar with it it’s extremely capable!

Not sure how you get from Fediverse people researching what server admin/moderation structures work well and which ones don’t to CIA censorship.

Looks like it is available for free, but you get a really awkward username. I just enabled it on an old WP.com blog that I have on a free account and while @kelson.wordpress.com@kelson.wordpress.com works (I was able to subscribe to it from both Mastodon and GoToSocial), it’s a bit unwieldy.

Apparently not anymore. I have a free account on WordPress.com and I just turned it on like you said.

They don’t really use the major.minor.bugfix scheme anymore. If they did, they wouldn’t be at version 117.

I tend to think of them all as minor updates that add up over time, like a rolling release with numbers.

Assuming you mean the save-to-read-later functionality, I hear good things about Wallabag. You can even self-host it if you want.

A backpack solves both problems!

KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.

It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.

But the main issue I’ve run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are…let’s just say they’re not designed with touch input in mind.

I’ve been using the Firefox Translations extension that this is probably building on. Also runs entirely in the client.

Having this built into the browser is going to be a great selling point.

As others have said: followers yes, posts, no. Some other Fediverse platforms can migrate posts, though, and I believe Firefish (previously known as Calckey) is able to import posts from Mastodon as well as from other instances of itself.

Yeah, this really needs to have

1. A clear, user-visible list of which domains are quarantined
2. A clear, user-visible explanation of why those domains are quarantined
3. A way to say “Fine, but I want to allow this extension on this site” like the location and camera preferences, rather than simply turning the entire feature on and off.

My main desktop has been upgraded continuously from RHL5 (no E) in ~1999 to Fedora 38 today.

Well, almost continuously. I’ve done at least one fresh install, when I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit hardware.

Edit: I have used a lot of other distros on other boxes, both physical and virtual - I’ve just stuck with Fedora on that one.

Technically true, yes. Useful for the question being asked? Not so much.

Firefox as a web browser.

I keep trying email clients, but end up going back to Thunderbird. It still looks clunky, but it works well, and the new UI is in beta, so it should look better soon!

I find LibreOffice to be way too heavy for light notes (My current light text editor is FeatherPad), but it’s a great alternative to Word!

I’ve found that GoToSocial and Calckey both use a lot less in resources than Mastodon does.

Fedora on my desktop, Alpine on cloud servers, Debian on my Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu for work. Also messing around with Arch, Debian, and PeppermintOS on some older boxes.
