  • Curious and not knowledgeable about the politic system of the USA but Harris appears to be the current VP. Shouldn’t she be entirely in the loop? This would substitute perfectly; And Biden could still be VP if he is (and to me apparently he does) in for the purpose of the American citizen?

    I had this thought and saw something today about the election were Biden-Harris was mentioned. FINALLY I thought. Is there something I am missing?

    That’s something (interesting) to unpack but wouldn’t belong here. Anyhow for the sake of my personal benefit I proceed to comment.

    You answered everyting per se. So thanks.

    There is a connection between a lot different Software Platforms on the Fediverse, but not every feature is on every plattform. So you are not able to downvote a Lemmy post from Mastodon.

    Makes sense: Mastodon does not have downvotes, apparently. But:

    You have the option to interact with Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account …

    Is this also valid the other way around? Are there peer-reviewed documents I can inspect to learn how the fediverse can interact between eachanother? I did not look into the protocol since standards wouldn’t address my higher level view I have applied here, I suppose.

    I have never used the Mastodon app, i think a lot 3rd Party apps are better on Mastodon, so i don’t know how it looks, but Mastodon has, or had, a weird form in showing commet trees in my opinion.

    I downloaded the fediverselab app prior but it didn’t allow sorting either. Which is why I made the above assumption.

    The mastodon app appears to be a very good piece of software; Better then the former.

    The app doesn’t allow opening links from any instance but it appears to me that they do not want to provide a wildcard intent (android-API specifica) so that they will be mentioned when tapping any link on ones android device. A thing which has to be implemented at build time and would possibly still leak private instance domains. It looks carefully engineered.

  • Sorry, not a native speaker.

    Today I dipped into mastodon. I thought an app would aid explorability, it didn’t.

    I couldn’t downvote - even after registration - so I made this post. Within lemmy I can disagree with a downvote if I strongly do so.

    So I am serious if such platforms should only be read but engaged with. Because it was the most hostile website/app interaction I encountered since I am on the internet.








  • Some elaboration of mine for doing this post:

    Once I helped organizing some huge event. Attending negotiations between a monopol-like company and the purchasing departments.

    Attendees required to be far from certain competition and even ruling participation out under certain circumstances.

    I am in favor of the doubt but there has to be more similiarities between these sponsor than to the common eye. So I posted this.




  • If you run qemu from CLI you get a window which grabs keyboard and mouse automatically. Ctrl+Alt+G (from the top of my head) releases the input devices so you can again navigate the host. The window is otherwise a default window for you display server.

    I find qemu from CLI way more transparent then these GUI-Applications since each vm is a readable, single script. So I recommend this.

    Regarding installation on iMac bare metal: If the kernel supporta virtualization you can expect to work flawlessly. If you have a dedicated graphics card you can only pass this (as well as dedicated devices like hdd’s) if you main board supports IOMMU.

    If it does all you need is the qemu man page to setup your vm.

    Why I prefer a qemu script to any GUI alternative:

    The entire script for passing RAM, GPU and a HDD is about 10 lines max. A default vm with tcg-emulation e.g. via libvirt etc. can pass 50 lines of xml easily.

    I recommend giving it a try. My workflow is: Place the install script in some directory. The default run script is placed in my ~/.bin/ You can combine these scripts but I find it way simpler to separate them (you would need more elaborate options mounting devices).
