Software for manga/book reader
  • There is Komikku for linux though it's kinda limited to sources it supports. Komga is a nice self hosted option with support for Mihon and all the tachiyomi forks for android. There is a tachiyomi fork called Komikku (different from the linux app) that I like.

  • Goodbye FireFish.
  • wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

    Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don't get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn't. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn't. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

    What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don't have to choose the largest instance out there.

    • I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should've worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.
  • I love the new UI changes

    I saw today that they changed a lot about UI in the timeline. The vote buttons are at bottom instead of on the right side. Images are not tiny thumbnails anymore. Even, the thumbnails feel better somehow. I love all these changes.

    The only small nitpick I have is that, the vote buttons are a little small, it feels more so in the main post. And a very unreasonable complaint, that I don't think need to be addressed, would be, the vote buttons are too generic. Would love a little more style and better colour contrast.

    [Unpopular opinion] Linux is not a good choice for regular users
  • Start with Gentoo or Arch

    I wouldn't recommend arch to general users. I consider myself a general linux user, and figuring out Arch, even after the installation hurdle, wasn't easy for me.

    is like fixing windows when it doesn’t

    I don't think Arch really makes that easy. Although, I guess archwiki is pretty great. Even arch forum helped me a lot with respect to other disto.

  • Goodbye FireFish.
  • I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.

  • Goodbye FireFish.
  • I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn't let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

    Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate "loli" content to a degree that other side doesn't. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

  • How to use power button to wake up laptop on tablet mode

    Recently I switched to Fedora 40 from Ununtu. Now, I am facing this weird problem, whenever my laptop suspends I cannot use the power button to wake my laptop if it's in tablet mode. It works fine in normal case. Also, this wasn't an issue in Ubuntu. Anyone knows how I can change it?

    I am using a 2in1 laptop (Dell) if it's relevant
