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.

In a surprise move, Ubuntu developers have agreed to stop shipping Flatpak, preinstalled Flatpak apps, and any plugins needed to install Flatpak apps through a GUI software tool in the default package set across all eight of Ubuntu’s official flavors, as of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release.

@winnie snap is not so mature as flatpaks yet. Dont know if its really a nice descision.

[–] winnie@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

No, it's not nice decision. It's more political decision, to force Ubuntu's own solution instead of alternative.

(I'm wondering if you would be notified for reply in mastodon?)

[–] anders@rytter.me 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@winnie @jcbritobr thats usually the case for mastodon when someone replies to your post.

[–] winnie@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. But Lemmy doesn't add @username to it's replies.

[–] anders@rytter.me 4 points 1 year ago

@winnie
It shouldn't matter. Mastodon users should get notified when you reply to their post even though they aren't tagged in it.

At least that's the case for me on Friendica but I remember the same behaviour from back when I used Mastodon.

Business as usual considering their history of Unity and Mir, so.

but how is this solution the best business wise?

arent the development and maintenance costs of snap are currently outweighing the income?

how can an own environment be monetized in the open source realm?

Wait, how did you view this post via Mastodon? I know both Lemmy and Mastodon use ActivityPub but the UX and urlpatterns are quite different and client-specific. What is the format of the link you used to view this?

I also demand answers. Should I be able to see Mastodon posts via my Lemmy/wefwef?

[–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found out in the meantime. You can find communities from Lemmy on Mastodon using the @communityname@server pattern. So @kde@lemmy.kde.social will find this community. On Mastodon it'll appear as a user boosting every post (both top post and comments) and that way you can find individual comments.

It isn't great, the UX is clearly different and not made for each other, but it works and you can favourite or boost individual posts with it.

Interesting. I was able to find a few big Lemmy communities on Mastodon. But I couldn't find my tiny instance community.

I wonder what I need to do to get my own instance to federate with Mastodon?

[–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 year ago

The instance needs to have https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114 applied, it might not be in the version you are running yet.
