I tried last week and gave up as the docs were no good. But since then they’ve been updated and are now quite comprehensive!

LollerCorleone, en Why has Mastodon adoption stalled?
@LollerCorleone@kbin.social avatar

When the Twitter migration happened, a lot of folks got overenthusiastic about the idea of the fediverse and started setting up their own Mastodon instances, despite having little to no experience with selfhosting before.

A lot of such instances have since shut down as they realised the amount of efforts that actually needs into hosting such a platform, especially instances with open registrations. However, a large number of them did survive and are now thriving.

Has the growth rate slowed? Sure, just like it is expected happen after a sudden influx. But it is false to say that Mastodon growth has stalled. Instead, the phrase I would use is 'stabilized'. Mastodon growth has stabilized into a healthy level as user growth is now happening more organically. Some stats below:

12,808,214 accounts +217,864 in the last week

Stats on most active instances:

By number of posts:

How can anyone look at these numbers and say that the growth has stalled?

Niello, en Why has Mastodon adoption stalled?

So...this whole evidence point out by the author amounts to personal experience, and not even a kind of personal experience that is good for evidence. Smaller instances closing down isn't the same as large instances closing down when it comes to adoption. Heck, there's a recent report that shows the opposite of what is said here, with proper data to back it up.

Fediverse brings us inconvenient experiences which is necessary to evolute our SNS technology.

pvq, en Violentmonkey, an opensource alternative for Tampermonkey

One of the things I used violentmonkey for was to redirect any reddit url to the old reddit.

Example

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Old reddit redirect
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://www.reddit.com/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      -
// @description 10/8/2022, 8:20:18 PM
// ==/UserScript==

var str = window.location.href;
window.location.replace(str.replace("www.reddit.com", "old.reddit.com"));

If you look for information about it (edit: of violentmonkey) years ago you will probably find negative reviews, as it had an ambiguous privacy policy that generated many suspicions and accusations; but they fixed it a long ago, it is an excellent addon.

LollerCorleone,
@LollerCorleone@kbin.social avatar

If you are talking about tampermonkey, I am sure it is a good addon. But it is no longer opensource. This post was meant for people who prefer opensource over proprietary as much as possible.

Nope, my whole comment was about violentmonkey. Take a look at this.

Asking a support question well involves:

  1. Summarize the problem. Include context.
  2. Provide details and any research you've done.
  3. When appropriate, describe what you’ve tried.

Also, be sure the magazine you're posting to is meant for support questions, and for questions of the sort you're asking.

I think he means the inactivity timer, that logs you out automatically, is too short. Leave a few kbin tabs open, go away and do something for 10 mins, come back and you're logged out and have to log back in. Annoying. No way to change the timer in settings that I could find.

yeap. That happens with me too.

EDIT: Nevermind with the below, I'm guessing you used Graphite. Glad that was the first option to try (with runnable in browser).

Though the pen tool doesn't seem to be perfect for this (or I'm missing something) so perhaps I am wrong.


What did you make the logo with, particularly if it is not (just) raster?

I know Inkscape doesn't seem to work very well with that style, or at least it could be a lot simpler and easier. To the point I'd say the Godot game engine has a better polygon editor, but it only really handles the basics well (for instance, vertex colors are edited by a list).

ADHDefy,
@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

I actually did not make the logo, so I'm not sure! Unless I'm mistaken, it was probably made by @smallcircles who created the list project. I just maintain this one particular list. :)

@insomniac_lemon

I chose the original logo, which is just a recolorization of an SVG Gem emoji from Wikimedia. Then an adaptation was made. Am on mobile now, can't check whom to credit. See main codeberg repo :)

@AnonymousLlama@kbin.social avatar

Cheers for the list. Great to keep an eye open for alternatives. What I'm looking for right now is a good GIT client for Ubuntu.

On windows I've got Sourecetree, it's free and got a really simple UI.

I've found a single program, SmartGit that looks decent but apparently it's just a trial version and they've got licenses. I haven't really found anything as a good substitute

elscallr,
@elscallr@kbin.social avatar

Actually not trying to be a dick or a pedant, but is there a problem with just the git command? I've been using it since git existed so I don't really have anything to compare it to. The idea of finding another client seems a bit strange to me.

rehendix,

While the CLI provides the same functionality, it can be a lot easier to visually parse information or provide direct interactivity with a GUI instead. If you're working on a large project or just want a different way to display the information git provides, it makes things a bit smoother.

HeinousTugboat,

Generally I just use VSCode's source control UI when I want a GUI for git. I can't imagine using a standalone GUI for git when all the big editors have their own interfaces.

rehendix,

Oh same here, I'm not sure what the use-case for a standalone one would be but I definitely do prefer some visual over the command-line trees.

tonamel,

One thing I've found invaluable about a visual interface is the ability to quickly browse the commit tree. Having a big list of commits that you can sort and click to see the diff of each file has saved me on multiple occasions. I'm sure it's all info you can get from the CLI as well, but I can't imagine it being even half as fast.

elscallr,
@elscallr@kbin.social avatar

I guess I can see that. It's not common I need to do so, but a few times I've went spelunking with git log [file] and git diff sha..sha [file] and I could see that being useful presented graphically.

Contortion,

You might try gitless if you don't find a decent GUI. Still command line but a bit more user friendly.

kobra,

I’m actually kind of surprised that GitHub Desktop doesn’t have a Linux client. Found a blog where people have apparently made it work though.

Anyone try joplin before? Looking to change up my notes app for some reason or another

VasyaSovari,
@VasyaSovari@kbin.social avatar

@Books Yes. I use it as a writing tool - mostly for extensive notes, timeline and continuity. It takes a bit of figuring out but once you've got used to building a sensible notepad layout it becomes incredibly helpful

@ADHDefy

dandi8,

I'm using it as my daily driver for notes at work and so far I haven't found anything better (that would still be FOSS).

ADHDefy,
@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

Yeah! Joplin is pretty cool. I like it a lot and have used it quite a bit. I will warn, the backup sync feature can be a little finicky. It normally works just fine, but I have seen a couple incidents that resulted in data loss. If you use it, just make sure to check every so often and be sure it's syncing properly. It's never failed on me personally, though.
