oh I thought it showed a random foss software. I was thinking I will just stick with osalt and portable apps. I was watchig the eclipse and its a wierd hour so its not giving anything for me looking at it now.

random???

let me know if wierduncleforaminute becomes a thing.

I get annoyed how putting a source in is not consistantly done with many of them. when you follow up and ask for them you generally get them but im going to look that over. I like when the answer looks like a wikipedia article with little number references.

oh thank you. I had forgotten the name and want to watch as it develops.

I love the user level control. block urls, instances, communities, users. I really would love like trust cafe where you can rank things from 0-100 where 0 is block and 100 is subscribe and your feed will prioritize posts from things you rank higher for the in between values.

I actually would really prefer for companies to just provide us virtual machines and I can connect to vpn and then to the work hosts. This way I can use my own setup.

Id like to see non for profits hosting servers for their members. fandom conventions, maker spaces, etc. It would also make sense for them to host communities around what they do. scifi literature, games, 3d printing, etc.

If you have your older maching around I recomend putting linux on it. You will see how fast it runs on the old hardware and pretty soon you will not be ablet to wait get it on the new hardware.

I wouldn’t fight this.

I mean sure but again that is akin to ebay. ebay is amazone without the warehouses, shipping, and logistics intelligence and organization. so anyone that wants to avoid amazon could use ebay right now but they don’t because they want the benefits of the fast shipping and returns and such. again I think having some sort of federated marketplace would be great but it would in no way be like ordering from amazon.

im sorry so you did not meant to clone amazon.com in a federated way but your talking about amazon.com? im a bit confused myself at this point.

There is no real point. You did not seem to get what the other person said and so I added it to make it a bit more clear on why its not an amazon replacement because amazon does so much more. Its just sorta how conversations involving a few people work. Im not just talking about the last thing you said but about the whole read down the line.

nothing outside of what the other person said. it would be more akin to federated ebay rather than federated amazon and still will lack some of ebays benefits. Don’t get me wrong I think its a good idea viewed in that way. I mean better than craigslist which is not even federated.

I don’t see how you think its noise. Many items from amazon come from an amazone warehouse and delivered by amazon. they don’t exclusively do it this way but this is how they have the same day and few day shipping. I remember when amazon went from mostly being a book site to selling everything and people were gaga about 2 day shipping and when same day shipping came to some metros it was talked about a lot. I think the main thing is the other guy mentioned logistics and aws but forgot to mention the warehouse and shipping part of the logistics.

Would be good for folks to make all reaction videos on peertube.

I came for the first time back in 6/18/23 and im still coming now!

So I don’t really have experience with the gaming aspect as I pretty much get what I want from a steamdeck. I think its likely you would want to go with one of those (a gaming setup someone else suggests) or dual boot to have your gaming system and your doing other things setup. Just in case I will mention the one I use called zorin. It is based on ubuntu with gnome and its main claim to fame is its an out of the box distro that tries to emulate windows (other systems to but the paid for version unlocks that. its default is a general windows type experience). Out of the box means it has foss office, video file viewing, audio file listening, image file viewer, browser of course, rdp client, mail client, calendar, contacts, also image,video,audio file creation and editing, optical disk copier/image creator, wine with play on linux so that you can right click a windows executable and run it and such. It does non free software things like nvidia drivers right off the bat. Its great for an install and get going right away type of thing. Its always a bit out of date because its emphasis is stable, just works, get going type of thing. I have a few complaints. Mainly it does not have the windows key, right arrow thing to half screen by default. It could be a stability thing that they don’t want to mess with the compiz or whatnot. Then the other thing is I find the software gui interface it have an aweful search for getting more software so either just use apt at the command line or download the .deb installation file which things like various browsers have as a linux option for download and then its really just like adding one to windows or mac. download and run the installation.

I have been trying to actually do something like this using portable virtual box on a usb along with appimages.

long ago redhat had a way of outputing a kickstart file to use to instal on other machines and suse had something similar. no idea what they use for that now though.
