More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

You didn’t introduce shit. It was a feature all the way up to Windows 10 and then you removed it. Go fuck yourselves.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this was actually a heartfelt message from a developer instead of damage control? Wouldn’t it be nice if a large corporation had some self awareness for one goddamn second?

What happened to “reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks” from the release notes? Maybe Claude wrote that too lol

Bazzite is amazing, nearly bulletproof even?

I had a few times where it booted to the grub emergency shell, but it literally just fixed itself. Just reboot and it uses the other A/B slot. And the next update attempt just fixes whatever the problem was. That’s only happened twice in the last 5 months since I switched. Most longtime Linux users should be very familiar with the grub emergency shell, but I’ve never been on a distro where it just fixes itself. I don’t ever have to think or worry about updates, it’s just a reliable daily driver. It’s sick.

As people have said, Bazzite is immutable. You can install system packages/libraries if you absolutely need to, but you really should run your custom stuff in a Distrobox instead. Distrobox is preinstalled, supports graphical apps automatically, and most of the time you won’t even notice it’s not your real OS.

I think Bazzite is more stable and usable than Windows now. I’m tempted to switch my parents to it, it’s been much more fault tolerant than Windows 11.

Vibecoded app or not, I really hope this refreshingly unhinged writing style is all you.

Looks like it’s behind an experimental flag, only applies to new rooms, and isn’t available on the public app.element.io instance right now (the Labs screenshot they showed doesn’t show the option on element.io+matrix.org when I checked just now):

https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/pull/31513

For it to work, looks like it needs another in-progress feature to allow new members to decrypt previous messages (Matrix can’t do that yet???):

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4268

(That one isn’t even in the spec yet, it’ll take a lonnnnnng time before we see any real movement on it, possibly a year or two. A year or two before you can see encrypted messages from before you joined a room. Insanity.)

A contributor calls this encrypted metadata feature a “partial prototype:”

https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/1214#issuecomment-3714132569

And that issue was opened in 2017. Pretty crazy they’ve been discussing this for nearly 10 years and it’s just now “a partial prototype,” but that’s Matrix for you.

So it was all of your messages?

Can you explain what bridge you used and how you got the whole history moved over?

Every messages in your server’s entire history, or just the channel layout?

I know the Mautrix bridge can create the channels for you, but their backfill feature was not designed for full archival, it can’t really do that.

Thank you!! Really looking forward to this, Movim is already pretty nice.

And I believe the devs are working on adding discord-like channels with multiple groups under a single community.

If you have a link to a discussion or issue where they’re tracking this, I’d love to follow it.

They’ll also need to figure out how to let rooms have more than 1000 people, which is currently the limit on Movim (and it might be an XMPP limitation). Right now, Matrix seems like the only option for a Discord migration, but I hope that changes soon.

I might move my Discord community to Matrix, but I’d want a full 100% clone of the server’s history. Seems like that’s almost possible?

Discord scrapers like DiscordChatExporter can dump a whole channel to JSON (although I don’t see a lot of scraper options that let you pause/resume/retry an export… looking for suggestions if people have any).

And the Mautrix Discord bridge already makes it look like real users sent bridged messages. I think with a little customization, the Mautrix bridge could be modified to import an enormous JSON file to fully mirror an entire Discord server, instead of just grabbing messages in real time. It’s already got the functions there to “send a message as xyz user.”

Matrix or not, “take your Discord dump and clone it somewhere federated” would be huge for migrations like this. I really hope someone works on that soon 🙏

Be careful, that’s an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.

If you go through that user’s other reviews, while they are very funny, they’re also very AI generated. Tons of contrivances and the classic “and honestly?”

They were almost all posted on April 13th, and they all drop the “brand name” of the product in just really unnatural ways. This is 1,000% a bot.

Do go visit the profile though. The sex toy reviews are pretty funny.

If you want some quick examples of how this is obviously AI:

Ah I see. I’ve gotten into some back and forth with the maintainer of Caddy about these build inconsistencies and lack of versioning, and he responded by locking issues on me… twice.

After that communication, I resigned to just keep things as they are because upstream is not willing to make the experience better for use cases like these.

He is impossible to work with, but Caddy is just really good :/

What issue did you have? If I can handle it for the user automatically, I can add a best effort attempt to avoid it.

Hi!

The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml

Whenever Lemmy releases a new Docker container, it will just pull the latest one automatically. This will continue to be compatible indefinitely until the compose deployment (linked above) has any breaking changes added to it that I need to incorporate.

Thank you for the shout out :)

Just being open source is not enough to solve this problem. You would need a record of your “home instance” stored somewhere that all Lemmy instances would always have access to it. Ignoring the security implications of that, you still can’t use browser storage or cookies for that storage. In browsers, those storage mechanisms are restricted to the websites that stored them in the first place. Browser extensions have their own storage, so they don’t have this limitation.

I can’t think of an architectural solution to this problem without a browser extension.

The closest alternative that could be upstreamed is what Mastodon does, which is prompt the user to enter their home instance every time they try to interact with something while not logged in. An upstream solution can never be fully automatic like a browser extension, but this may be “close enough.”

They explain it in the video. They already use algorithms to detect if things are buildings or not.

But if their algorithm can’t make a determination or is uncertain below a certain threshold, they send it to Maptcha to get a bulk human opinion.

If you don’t want to open this and solder a chip, then no, you can’t do what you want.

The closest you can get is to enable AutoRCM, which will cause the Switch to always boot into recovery mode and accept a payload. This skips the need to use a jig in the Joy-Con rail, but you still need to inject a payload. And because recovery mode is just a black screen, you don’t have any visual feedback to know if the Switch is actually in recovery mode, or if the battery is just dead.

Your best option is to just boot into whatever OS you use most, then make it a habit to keep it charged enough to not shut down.

I’m really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that’s really all within one area!

They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn’t getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
