Where do crux users usually connect? IRC?

Looks cool! But you shared everything except the Wall?

This is not a Unix like OS, but it does have a shell which can somewhat emulate a UNIX environment.

SculptOS is a microkernel OS capable of strict sandboxing and virtualisation. It could almost be compared to QubesOS in some ways, while it's package management might be compared to NixOS. Although, neither are anything like SculptOS.

Classic ADHDers, can't even decide on a platform for the ADHD chat group. Well, I use signal and matrix, and I'm not opposed to simplex... Just decide and send me the link please

Exactly. No one pays for it because it's free

It will. I did the same thing a couple years ago. Make sure you share links to things like articles, videos, news, from the fediverse to your contacts. That helps them switch, when they see the platform in their mobile browser.

SMS is generally free and unlimited with almost any postpaid mobile plan. If you're still paying for SMS then you should switch providers.

It has to start with someone. I made my entire family switch to signal by boycotting WhatsApp. I just said, of you want to contact me your can either SMS, email or install signal. It was surprisingly easy. For non family members, I tell people to switch all the time. Most of my contacts now use signal. It was worth the trouble.

You still pay for SMS? Wtf, what country do you live in? Most postpaid mobile plans these days only charge for data usage. In which case, your still paying to use WhatsApp.

A short history of BSD (www.abortretry.fail)

So I'm kind of using 9front for the first time and I really like it. It's really quite a simple operating system. There has certainly been a learning curve coming from Linux and BSD, but I'm getting there. Just need to set up Mail, Faces and an IRC client next.

So far I've just edited the theme, set up a couple functions, customised my riostart, edited the winwatch source code to reduce the padding etc. Everything I've done is pretty much in the acme window.

I've connected to the 9p VPS through rcpu which I find much better than using draw term. Although I suppose I'll need to use draw term to complete challenge two, set up faces for neinbook.

I'm hoping to learn how to edit the main right click menu so I can add launch commands for acme and netsurf. I also would like to edit the new window command to enable -scroll in all new windows. Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

I'm just curious if it would be possible to port rbw to 9front?

 

Title.

Basically, I've had an account on lemmy.ml for a while and now I've moved to lemmy.sdf.org and I can't seem to see my previous posts from my lemmy.ml account.

Hello SDF! (lemmy.sdf.org)

G'day ladies, gentlemen, and all gender non-conforming or non-binary individuals of the Fediverse.

Consider this an #introduction of sorts. I am an ex-Redditor but I'm not new to Lemmy, SDF or the Fediverse. I watched on Mastodon as hordes of people migrated from the imploding bird site and it was wonderful to see. Now watching Reddit push their users towards Lemmy, I'm excited for the future of the internet. A much needed web revolution is upon us.

If you haven't yet, check out mastodon.sdf.org, matrix.sdf.org and pixelfed.sdf.org for more SDF federated goodness. Tell Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and all other social media giants to get stuffed. Cheers
