I don’t think so. Some people would surely grumbled, after all reading newspaper to breakfast or sitting in comfy chair is something many people still do, but digital media made rapid advancement in last decade.
Though things outside strictly “news” papers, like illustrated magazines will probably exist regardless, even if in diminished form. Anyways as far as i know they are still very popular, there is very many of them.
On my NixOS, nix sets the environment variables XDG_DATA_DIRS, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, etc. Maybe these contain what you‘re looking for? Do you have a path ~/.nix-profile/share/applications?
I have this line export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” Do I need to add anything else? I do have the directory you have mentioned.
Which one in specific? There are some packages which maintainers did not bother creating xdg desktop specification… you can look into nixpkgs source code to see if they are specified there or not.
I do not know if Debian is able to pick the desktop files though
Adding those lines to .bashrc, helped with the flatpak commands. I can run them without having to type “flatpak run”. I did this for nix: export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” However, I still cannot see the entries in rofi. The package is Chromium browser.
I mostly installed the lists found on firebog.net, that’s it.
From my experience, the only way to get rid of YT ads is Brave browser. Firefox with uBlock Origins is not enough, or maybe I just misconfigured it. I haven’t tried Librewolf… but I think it’d be the same.
lemmy.ml is definitely not for you, but you will most surely find another instance accepting you on https://join-lemmy.org/instances. If you don’t find anything that suits your needs you can also run your own instance.
Nothing to say about the last two arguments, but this:
It is technically theft
…is just bullshit. Theft is illegaly taking a property or service from a person with the intent of depriving them of it. When you’re pirating, you’re essentially making a copy for yourself. In doing so, you’re not taking the original book, nor are you depriving the original owner of said book.
“Piracy is theft” is just some heavily regurgitated nonsense from the early 2000s that has been debunked many times over. It needs to die, because it is just objectively not true.
Not to mention that people that pirate that material are still going to talk about it, so even though they’re loosing one sale to piracy they may be getting an extra 10 sales through word of mouth.
If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get? Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)? What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible?

Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics?

I am trying to be as green as possible. Having a blog on one server and the comments on another sounds like an inefficient way of using resources. Why not just put the articles where the comments are?
With Mastodon I had the same idea, that I will publish an article, post a link with short description on Mastodon and then use the Mastodon post as the comment section, then edit the blog article and put the link to Mastodon on the end of the article with a simple text link like “Comment section”.
But even this idea felt a bit odd and more unprofessional.
Lemmy looks like a really good solution to this atm.
I did try using Dvorak. I got pretty good at it. After about four months I could finally type as quickly and effectively on Dvorak as I could on QWERTY.
On. One. Computer.
I sit down at a friend’s computer or a family member’s? Newp. I use a phone or a tablet? Newp. I use a work computer (where I’m not permitted to install my own software)? Newp.
So that’s four months of reduced capacity to type, plus having to keep QWERTY in my muscle memory anyway (with the attendant confusion and error rate that causes!) all for … not really getting much more speed than I was able to do with QWERTY in the first place.
