@nate I attempted to locate AP plugin for hubzilla but could not, not in the addons, not mentioned on the hubzilla site, and could not find with gargoyle search. Can anyone tell me where to obtain?

Bluesky, using ATProto, which as near as I can tell is not used by anyone else, is not part of the fediverse as a result. Since both ActivityPub, and ATProto, and for that matter also Zot, are all open sourced protocols, it is my hope someone will build bridge software that incorporates and provides interoperability between both. Hubzilla would seem an ideal place for that to happen since that is already it's role, to bridge multiple protocols.

@grue @ArchRecord An example of a database that doesn't keep it's data in files?

@otter @thenexusofprivacy I personally find the three-pane design a bit "busy".

@OpenStars I would argue that it hasn't become that, it was that well before Musks takeover.

"short form content with just a few sentences per post sucks"

I agree and that's why the first site I put up was friendica, but I find on friendica, even though people have the space to express their thoughts in depth and eloquently, few do so, so perhaps Mastodon is so successful because it appeals to people who are incapable of effective self expression. At any rate, it is a reality that it is, so I do run one of those also.

@ Download and compile the most recent kernel from kernel.org, sooner or later you'll run into a situation where the nvidia drivers don't support it.

@ @mfat The reason I gave up on Nvidia is they never keep their drivers up to date with the latest kernel.

@cerement I don't have menus covering anything, they are pulldown menus, with respect to keybinds, there are only so many keys on a keyboard, and usually I want to actually produce input to some application with them, don't care for OS to get in the way here either.

@Max_P @mfat I don't like picture oriented Desktops, just a lot of shit competing with workspace, rather have simple drop down menus which is why I stick with Mate. Although a Doc like in MacOS isn't bad, and Mate does support this, it still eats up space I'd rather use for work.

Other than a few graphics, there is so little customization in Zorin that you can drop in the Ubuntu repositories and never notice the difference. And as far as from scratch goes, the first kernel I used as .98 or .99, not quite 1.0, cross compiled for Intel on a Sparc platform, then you had to spend another three days compiling the GNU userland, and then another couple of days for Xorg, at which point you had a mostly usable system.
