Claude is down again and I am seeing people basically go through withdrawal.

If you are feeling it, recognize it for what it is.

Wait what, you can't use a *code* editor when you're under 18 now? 🤔

to be honest, i am kinda just not into the idea of even being staff on a mastodon instance anymore. this is no longer "fun" to me.

for example, two people got into a fight yesterday -- a local user got into a fight with a remote user that went *very* sideways.

what does that have to do with me? well, a fucking fediblock post was made specifically tagging *me* into the fight, a fight that i had absolutely nothing to do with, in order to pressure me into taking the side of the remote user.

so then what happens? i get blocked by a bunch of people for no reason. the instance gets blocked by a bunch of instances for no reason.

i am sick and tired of it. i am probably going to just move to my own personal GTS instance or hachyderm or something.

but to be absolutely clear: I *do not* run the day to day affairs of treehouse anymore, and haven't in a long time. it has been run by a collective for the past 18 months.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1% of ordinary levels.

Meanwhile, an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action.

Hi everyone! We are still fighting with an ongoing DDoS attack against our service on the network level. We do not yet have any ETA on recovery time, as we're still investigating different mitigation strategies.

As always, we are very grateful for your support and patience.

There's nothing controversial about E2EE.

Unless you think it's controversial for private conversations to be.... private?

@UndeadLeech @fabrice Though Servo uses WebRender and that doesn't support OpenGL ES 2.. :(

@UndeadLeech well yes I'll try kumo but I wanted some other browsers too so I have a list of what I could try next :)

@UndeadLeech Ah, bummer.

I love the EU

 19:27 <@f_> "Please respect office hours"
 19:28 <[ REDACTED ]> look we need the EU to pass a law saying websites should only be accessible during business hours
 19:28 <[ REDACTED ]> to combat, uh, internet addiction. yeah.
 19:28 <[ REDACTED ]> and then we need the US to do the same.
 19:28 <[ REDACTED ]> and then Japan
 19:28 <@f_> great idea

@DenJohn Epiphany is GTK4+libadwaita so it's guaranteed that it will be completely unusable on this hardware, because it renders everything in software, and it's very inefficient at doing so especially with all the libadwaita eye candy.
Servo uses WebRender, same as firefox, so it will be very laggy as well.

Flow .. I'll give it a try, thanks!

@pj that's nice to hear.

also can anyone recommend a good lightweight web browser to use on an old armv7 tablet with max OpenGL ES 2.0 gpu? Preferably something packaged in Alpine (tablet runs pmOS)

How is KDE Plasma nowadays regarding being lightweight? Back ages ago I remember it being one of the heavy desktop environments, but it ran just fine on my 15 year old laptop (was ~10 years old during that time) alongside gnome which IIRC worked better under nouveau...

but now I see GNOME has gotten heavier (which wasn't unexpected), libadwaita apps are inefficient. How's KDE Plasma on that regard?

@ysb33rOrg @postmarketOS In a way it does, hardware-wise, but IMO software-wise it's a lot better, because all these userspace improvements that was made over the years, we basically get all of them for free :) sure, on a phone we still have work to do on the userspace, but we do get the modern software stack that already powers linux desktops

@darkdragon @dalias @unfinishedsymphony @postmarketOS gnome-calls is packaged in postmarketOS so no need to use the flathub version?

@whitequark @SnoopJ oh all irc format things are client-side: https://modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting#spoilers
