    Also no quote tweets. And many people are used to algorithms now. I love Mastodon but I have to say Bluesky is more polished. Mastodon can be weird about threads and replies to posts. Sometimes I see a reply before I see the post, especially in the “lists” view. Chronological timeline is great but it has its own issues too. For example people living in different time zones will have their posts buried when everyone is asleep. The algorithm, for better or worse, shuffles things around which can work for you or against you. If you browse for 5 mins here and there, algorithm helps you see the most relevant posts in that widow. Having both chronological and algorthimic feeds would be so helpful to me in Mastodon. I know there a front end that does a “catch up” feature, but it’s a bit hacky

    It’s not even available in many countries. Even if it were, the price is steep especially in third world economies. It’s probably not that big of deal for many in the US but most people in third world countries would find it so hard to squeeze it into their budget.

    The power vacuum was literally artificially created by Israel. Do you think they didn’t know that this would happen ? They literally wanted to make an example out of Gaza like “see what happens when we step down of a region? Do you want this to happen?” Do you think Israel actually will let Palestine be united in one voice? They actually loved the fact that Hamas exists, as long as they can keep the violence to a minimum.



  • When installing Debian, if you choose to enable a root account then sudo is not installed by default and your user isn’t added to the sudo group. Next time try to opt for not enabling the root account to have a similar experience to other distros. Debian does this doe security reasons but it’s annoying for users used to a certain way of doing things. Many distros just disable root account by default so you don’t see that issue.



  • That’s how things are in so many countries unfortunately. Many people in the west tend to lose sight of that. I live in Morocco and we are struggling to just change the status of premarital sex. In the law you can get jail if you are caught having sex with your gf if you are not married. This law is rarely applied but it remains as a looming threat. The issue is that many people are in favor of that law and think the state should punish those who have premarital sex. This is sadly the case with many progressive laws and ideas. The majority of people in these countries are supportive of these conservative laws. It’s not just a top down thing from a government, which makes it much more complicated.
