Hopefully someone else can help. I’m on a different Linux. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Can’t help you, all Linux are different so depends on your Linux distribution and what you did to install it. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t know but you can just hit the windows key and start typing the name of the game. :)

Gnome doesn’t really encourage the use of icons on desktops…it’s an old way of starting programs and not really needed.

1984 OP , to technology in Google tries to defend its Web Environment Integrity
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Google had said a lot of things during the years. Lying is second nature. As soon as there is a possibility to increase revenue, get on the good side of advertisers, or decrease competition, they will.

You have to understand that they are working under capitalism, where the only thing that matters is to grow your profits every year, or your stocks tank.

They are there for profits, and don’t care at all about the internets health or wellbeing. Maybe some employees do but it doesn’t matter. They don’t decide what to work on.

Google wants the internet sites to be like cable TV. You subscribe to them, you can’t block ads, and you have to run their allowed operating systems and devices. They make all the rules. You can do nothing.

Thanks for making this post, I feel like it can’t be repeated enough. People sit on Lemmy.world instead of creating an account somewhere else where they can literally read and comment on previous posts from Lemmy.world, and then it all gets synked when it’s up again.

It’s like email guys - the entire global email system doesn’t stop because your company email server has technical issues.

1984 , to fediverse in Lemmy World is down once again.
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yep. Sitting on Lemmy.today browsing Lemmy.world posts right now…so I don’t know. Really advice people to not have just one account. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah me too, I’ve been missing this. Personal websites that aren’t corporate are so cool.

1984 , to fediverse in Why is Lemmy World down?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah it’s all federated. If you get banned from a community on Lemmy.world, you will not be able to access it from Lemmy.today for example (with your lemmy.today user account).

This is the really super cool part about the fediverse. People don’t realize… This is where the magic is.

If Lemmy.world is down, you still access posts and threads and make posts etc from lemmy.today… And it all syncs when Lemmy.world is up again.

Another mind blowing moment is when you realize you can read and post on Lemmy from Mastadon… So you can combine interacting with Mastadon and Lemmy in the same conversion.

1984 , to fediverse in Lemmy.one still down - does anyone have news?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

No problem at all. I’m itching for some project and actually got started with something like this in Go anyway to learn it better. :) We will see what comes out of it…

1984 , to fediverse in Lemmy.one still down - does anyone have news?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah I thought so, it’s not so complicated. This one looks nice.

I was thinking just a command line tool, where you could have a config file to put your instances in. Then it would simply use the Lemmy Api and list your subscriptions for each instance. It probably wouldn’t work if you have multi factor Auth on your account though since it needs to be able to log in with just username and password. But you could make your passwords super long to increase security that way.

It would maybe be harder to keep things synchronized but depends on the api. If it’s possible to subscribe to communities from the api, it would be easy.

I’ve been wanting to make something with Go to learn it better, so this could be a nice project.

Of course it would be open source. :)

I will look into it a bit next weekend…
