@darth Who is providing the weather warnings in Zagreb? Are there any official apps that could relay these warnings to the Fediverse? There is an (experimental) Fediverse bot here in Germany already that aggregates most warnings - I'm getting weather or fire warnings at the same time as from the official emergency apps. https://mstdn.games/@FediNINA_Leipzig@social.prepedia.orgHopefully more providers start relaying emergency and weather warnings to the #Fediverse in more areas.

@wjmaggos @darth Yes, good points. Right now I wouldn't be able to reach or hear any news from people in my area. Leipzig is a city with a population of 600K or 1.1M in the larger area - still the hashtag #leipzig is rarely used 🤔

@tuxicoman @WhyNotZoidberg @GossiTheDog @tomwarren That's the new default by design. Arguably so MS can show all sorts of notifications (messages, rewards, trophies). "Starting with Windows 10 [and DX12] the classic fullscreen exclusive mode was regarded as obsolete by Microsoft as the optimizations introduced for borderless fullscreen games allows for performance and latency equal to that of fullscreen exclusive, while still allowing switching between tasks and applications" (pcgamingwiki.com)

I'm looking for a suitable, beginner-friendly, good-looking #linux distro to revive an old Dell Latitude E6530 laptop.use case: linux beginner coming from Windows, school, some programming basics (Scratch, Python), general usespecs: CPU: Intel Core i5-3320M 2.6Ghz(64 bit)NVIDIA NVS 5200M (GDDR5 1GB)8GB DDR3128GB SSD That's still pretty beefy for a 11y laptop, so it doesn't have to be super lightweight. What distro would you install?#Foss #Ubuntu #Fedora #PopOS #KDE #Gnome

@matthew We tried a few live distros and then decided to go with Linux Mint. It's really easy to understand for someone coming from Windows, very customizable, looks clean and modern and most importantly everything just worked out of the box. That being said, most distros we tried were fine for this older Laptop, I'd also use Lubuntu. Fedora is very modern and very different, it would need quite some customizing. Another bottleneck was Nvidia support for the old NV graphics chip.

@kyle Scratch is very popular for learning the basics, has many kids-friendly exercises and examples and it can run in a browser.

@BrodieOnLinux @awooo The difference here: these apps (Simple Mobile Tools) were open-source until very recently and they are installed on thousands of devices of family members or less tech-savvy people by people they trust. Zipo bought this trust and hundreds of thousands of installations and now starts to aggressively monetarize these apps. There is a good chance people will fall for it - which sucks 🤔

Bought a LOT of movies on DVD for 25€ - about 45 in total. Not all the biggest hits but Indiana Jones 1-4, Jurrassic Park 1-4, some good family movies. They are for my in-laws who live in a rural area without internet streaming. If I look at the increasing costs of streaming services or on demand movies (3.99€ on Amazon for 48h) and very poor availability of movies from before 2010... I can see collecting DVD/Blurays making a comeback in 2024. Get them while they are still cheap 😄 #movies

@stefano Same here! Always nice to have a few favorite movies or tv shows on DVD or Bluray. And I still play mine on a PS3 console - no internet needed 😄

:legothink: This is how you block Threads for your account:1. Lookup any Threads profile in your mastodon search. For example Mr. Mosseri (project lead Threads): @mosseri 2. Click the 3dots menu next to "Follow".3. Choose "Block domain threads.net"That's it, you are done. This hides all your posts and your profile from Threads even if your instance does not block. #Fediverse #Mastodon #Threads #Meta #Activitypub

🌅 Today would be a perfect day to check your backups (and your recovery plan). The most basic 3-2-1 rule is:- 3 copies of your important data on - 2 different storage media- 1 copy stored somewhere offsiteWhile you are at it, you could also make an offline backup of your photos, data and contacts from your phone.#backup #newyearresolutions

Looking for a #FOSS, #selfhosted #Trello (Kanban to do lists) alternative. As simple as possible, for a non-techie family. Any recommendations? An app would be a plus but not a requirement. Trello/Atlassian just updated their UI recently - it now requires 5 steps for something so simple as deleting a card 🙄 1. open the card2. click 3 dot menue3. select "Archive"4. click "delete" 5. confirm "delete"That's ... not efficient at all 🤔

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@supernothing/116043137030283519Not gonna happen. I hate that so many communities are locked behind #Discord. Bring back ICQ, IRC, Teamspeak, FTP and old school forums - they served us well in the 90's and 00's.
