I was using LMDE for a while. Sadly, my laptop is in dire need of proprietary nvidia driver…

Loucypher OP ,

Can’t you pick it up from Synaptic?

pastermil ,

I tried, and it worked okay, but Ubuntu’s driver-manager works so much better.

Loucypher OP ,

Yeah that is objectively sweet

SteelCorrelation , to linux in LMDE just rocks

I use LMDE on an XPS 13 9360 and it is a rock solid. I adore this distro, especially on older hardware. If I ever switch away from my MacBook Pro, LMDE is going to be my daily driver. (And I’m strongly considering a Framework 13 AMD as my next laptop when it comes time to upgrade.)

LMDE squad, unite!

ExLisper , to linux in LMDE just rocks

You have to many usable laptops laying around. Put an ad on craiglist or something and give them out. I once put an ad like that and exchanged old laptop for a really good chocolate.

Loucypher OP ,

You are probably right but some of them are worth very little now… possibly more useful as test devices or to run proxmox on it and run some containers

ExLisper ,

If you can browse the web on them they can be worth a lot to some kid.

Bandcamp

TadeuszBonawentura ,

There is at least one https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is it federated? Or is it just a solo version for anybody who wants their own solo bandcamp?

TadeuszBonawentura ,

AFAIK it is in beta but developer planned or already implemented federation. If I'm wrong, I think @freebliss could correct me.

freebliss ,
@freebliss@post.lurk.org avatar

@TadeuszBonawentura @z3rOR0ne @small44 It's more the "your own solo bandcamp" thing to paraphrase @sentient_loom. From the technical side, given it's a static site generator, it can not technically act as a server for anything, including federation. It could act as an activity pub client technically, but it's an open research question how that could be interesting. So for now no plans and no implementation, but I'm keeping tabs on ActivityPub and at least thinking about possible directions.

I love bandcamp as it is, but this is an amazing idea.

A shared whiteboard. Something like Google’s Jamboard

Fabrik872 , to asklemmy in What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

I would like discord but in fediverse. This one i am actually using and even there are foss alternative like nextcloud talk i would like something that is at least as reliable as discord for calls

@Fabrik872

Is that not what Matrix is? I haven’t been to really understand Matrix so maybe I’m wrong.

https://matrix.org/

biscoot ,

Yes, Matrix is the closest I’ve seen to Discord that is federated. However, it doesn’t use ActivityPub I believe

danhakimi ,

well, yeah, because it's private messaging, it requires encryption and things like that. Really, fediverse instances should ideally incorporate matrix chat in some way or another, but that's not exactly trivial.

Zak ,
@Zak@lemmy.world avatar

Is ActivityPub a good fit for chat? Trying to make every kind of interaction fit into a single protocol sounds like a recipe for a bad protocol.

nasi_goreng ,
@nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip avatar

ActivityPub is not designed for real time chat and communication, I believe.

There’s Matrix and XMPP protocol, but upcoming MLS protocol (which backed Mozilla, The Matrix.org Foundation, even Meta) looks more complete, feature-wise.

    I don’t understand this.

    How would one federate a shopping cart or an e-commerce store?

    I mean, I’m not asking for technical details because we’re brain storming, but even in concept I’m struggling with this :)

    So like, maybe distributed recommendations, reviews and the like? I could get behind that :)

    I feel like this is what crypto was selling itself as before revealing itself being nothing more than scams, fraud and funding fascist death squads.

    EpicVision , to asklemmy in What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

    Something like StackOverflow/StackExchange would be nice. Would also like to see a federated platform for designers/artists (some Dribbble or Adobe Behance alternative).

    Feathercrown ,

    Federated SO where each participating site has its own list of topics makes a lot of sense tbh

    nutomic ,
    @nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

    You could probably make this as a custom lemmy frontend. The main functionality is almost identical.

    Feathercrown ,

    It’d have to be very custom but yeah it would work. Implementing review queues and rep/privileges and stuff might take a bit longer if you want to mirror the site that closely though.

    Github

    All the benefits of the network effect without the crippling reliance on a single MegaCorp to keep the lights on and not turn hostile like the owners of SourceForge, Reddit, and Freenode IRC.

    Would also solve a problem I’m not hearing anyone at all talk about - what happens when the Gitlab / Gittea / whatever instances projects are hosting run out of money and go dark? Those sources are lost forever.

    mosiacmango , (edited )

    Youre in luck. Forgeo is a well maintained, self hosted gitea fork that is federated by design.

    feoh ,

    Fantastic, I will check this out!

    Now we just need to get projects to start using it and federating their source code :)

    I suspect the other comment about Gitlab may have more adoption because lots of projects including some very large ones are already using that platform.

    Zak ,
    @Zak@lemmy.world avatar

    Gitlab is actively working on this.

    feoh ,

    That’s really great to hear! It’s an incredible vision for an open source future not dependent on MegaCorps, and I am SO here for that!

    MxRemy , (edited ) to asklemmy in What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

    There actually is a fediverse TikTok equivalent being developed! I’m not sure what the current status of it is, but it does already have rudimentary functionality. I bet the developer(s) might appreciate some help working on it, if anyone has the time/coding skills/money/etc to contribute. Somebody else mentioned Tumblr, and that exists too! So many cool projects being worked on, I regularly check this list to see what’s new, and it’s really heartwarming to see all the work people are putting into making the fediverse such a awesome place. There’s even a Tinder-esque dating app!

    Personally, equivalents I would love to see include:

    • Archive of Our Own
    • RPC/F-List/roleplay platform
      • (I’m actually trying to work on one of these myself, but I’m an amateur so don’t get your hopes up lol)
    • Etsy
    • Ravelry
    • A search engine
      • (And not just a metasearch using the same index as Google/Bing/etc)
    nycki ,

    Federated f-list already exists, it’s called IRC. Honestly I’d love to see an f-chat to IRC bridging tool, so I can add it to my znc bouncer.

    I put on my robes and wizard hat…

    CanadaPlus ,

    How do you pronounce “Alovoa”?

    TikTok is a sticky wicket, because video is so heavy and sensitive to network performance. You can maybe federate video, but there’s definitely not going to be small instances.

    Not social media but I’d probably like the idea of social games like these little timekillers from Facebook, chess, worms, poker, whatever that’s not that dependent on speed\ping and lightweight. Basically an app platform that can be easily included into other apps. Some different Lemmy communities can even challenge each other or hold events.

    BeReal

    I’d love to see a federated — or first of all just in any kind open source — version of this. I really love their approach of making social media less addictive, but they’re starting to introduce some features which I think are counterproductive to their initial concept.

    Since it is just a mobile-oriented product (for obvious reasons like needing two cameras, taking selfies, carrying it around the whole time) it might be hard to build something like that but I guess it would be nice.

    I also have no idea how you would make something like that federated, but the approach might be like that the different instances are working as the BeReal timezones, so the BeReal time might be the same for all members of an instance.

    Maybe someone is working on that, but I guess this will take some more years, because BeReal is not that popular for a long enough time…

    tkk13909 ,

    I would love this so much!

    h05 ,

    yay thanks now I know I’m not the only kind of tech, linux, open source, privacy and federation loving person which still uses stuff like BeReal

    nycki , to asklemmy in What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

    Google search. I want a way of finding stuff based on everyone’s tag suggestions, like a booru, but distributed.
