I'll try this! I used to use caldav via my mail provider with DAVx5, but I had problems with it not retaining notification settings with recurring events.
I don't know if that's a problem with their caldav server, DAVx5, or my phone's calendar. But worth trying with radicale and see if it works.
My kneejerk response to this was negative. "Oh, another distro spinoff". But I read the article and the front page of their site. It feels to me it's trying to be to Fedora what Mint is to Ubuntu. And I hear good things about Mint.
While I take issue with both base distros (Ubuntu, Fedora). I'm also of the opinion that Fedora is better, relatively speaking. So, maybe this has more of a place than I initially thought.
For those like myself who hadn't heard of GoToSocial and are curious what it is but don't want to watch a video, it is as you might guess an ActivityPub based microblogging platform. With a focus on smaller instances capable of running on low end hardware. According to their site, anyway. https://gotosocial.org/
It's a novel idea. But despite the article's claims this is not a practical alternative to a laptop in planes, coffee shops, etc. Nor is a minipc inherently more serviceable than a laptop as others have pointed out.
For traveling, if it's a longer trip, it almost makes sense to me as you'd have it set up for a while. Though I'd do a mini ITX system. The ones with external power supplies and no drive bays or expansion slots are pretty small. But even then, I don't feel like this would be significantly better than a laptop. And that's a lot to buy for a niche use case.
Edit: spelling and grammar
By first gen I meant not a switch 2. I'm not too particular about which version or revision.
Yeah, the price point would have to be low enough to be worth it for the few console specific titles that'd interest me.
That's a fair point.
I seem to recall scamming and similar were quite prevalent. I don't know if that's still the case. But even so, that doesn't really have anything to do with the interface or functionality, I suppose.
A search of the comments didn't turn up any mention of seedboxes. So I'll throw that hat in the ring as an option.
Our local newspaper's website has a classifieds section that's well utilized.
Something on the same scale as Craigslist but more modern is lacking. But anything big and centralized like that will eventually go to shit. So maybe smaller regional sites should be the way to go.
I won't. And not even due to the bad PR.
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I'll get the first gen Switch after all!
There are a few qualifiers here. It's for some users in UK and Australia trying to access sensitive content. And it sounds like it's reaction to laws against youth under 16 accessing social media. In Australia, anyway. So the scope is currently fairly limited.
Should we be worried that this will pave the road for larger privacy abuses? Yes, of course we should. That scenario feels likely, in my opinion.
Is this enough to convince my friends to use a different platform? Not yet.
