From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lemmy client Lemmur on Linux doesn't find any instances other than lemmy.ml (feddit.de)

I have installed Lemmur client and tried to add my account at feddit.de. But Lemmur couldn't find that instance, nor any other instance I tried to connect with. What's wrong there? Do the instances run different APIs? If so, that would not be a helpful situation for the lemmy commuity to grow.

They couldn't make gpg any harder to use or figure out... f-droid is 4 months out of date and I need to verify the apk in termux manually.

I've never heard of any of that before, its an apk, you just need to allow permissions and install it.

Nice I'm on. Just paranoid. gpg makes it more difficult for some hacker to spoof a download. gpg also makes it more difficult to actually verify vs using md5 or sha hash.

ooohhh I gotcha, doing manual verify, my bad.
