I don't get it, why is that? I also get: Error code: 503 Service Unavailable

Are you guys referring to this:

?

I think what we are missing is some sort of "unify onboarding portal"

Me like other people, had the idea of ECI (European citizen initiative) to ask EU level entities to start using the Fediverse. The process is quite slow as I do not have much time but, if you are European and can help, have a look here:

An European Citizens' Initiative for the adoption of the Fediverse in the European Union's institutions:

I use only Mastodon, even though I got accounts on other platforms too. I'm not super sure what the issue is with Mastodon, but, as I'm moving away from Youtube, the thing I'm missing is, paradoxically, the algorithm suggesting different creators or videos. To clarify: I hate that, I think is sick and controlling, but, as I have used that social for so many years, I think I got quite addicted. Can be the same for other users?

I will have a look, thanks!

It's probably me, but I find yaml file very difficult to edit in nano. I used to use stuff like kate or gedit and it was way easier for me.

PS. besides yaml I use nano or vi for everything else and I love them.

 

Is there any possibility to have something similar to X11 forwarding using Wayland?

I have to edit some big config file and would be great to have that functionality back.

I think as other people mentioned, it's important to understand how data is used by this company. My assumption is that it will never be worst of Google, as they are a British company but you never know.

You see, the name isn't new, I just don't remember where I saw it. I will try in Italy.

I want an app like that just to be able to pay with my phone, the rest of functionalities are quite superfluous to me.

Yes, it should work on a degoogled phone, that's my point in using it but there are some review on streaming platforms you might want to see. It's definitely working on E/OS.

I'm running some additional tests in the next few weeks.

There is a project for a wide eu platform, it goes a bit further than that including other functionality, however, even if they started a few years ago, they didn't make massive progress. This is the only service based in Europe (UK) that provides service to all Europe.
