One could have guessed from the image in the OP. KDE 4.2 is not exactly a recent piece of software anymore.

I’m not sure I understand your substantive question very well.

There already is a bridge from RSS feeds to ActivityPub: https://rss-parrot.net/ (there are plenty of sources I follow through that).

The clue of what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing one’s activities. For example “I’ve written a new blog post”, “I’ve commented on someone else’s activity”, “I’ve upvoted someone else’s comment”.

RSS is really just a structured format to describe the content of a website in simpler terms. It doesn’t ever send any information to anyone, it doesn’t have any mechanism for anyone else to interact.

I used to follow news sites directly through an RSS reader. But I would need to set that up separately on each device, including after reinstalling, which I just can’t be bothered to do. I know there are things like Feedly, but not everyone likes proprietary services and software that much. I like the fact that on Mastodon nowadays, I can follow both microbloggers and RSS feeds.

ja, ich behaupte aber einmal, dass die Chatkontrolle etwas deutlich Schlimmeres ist als die Vorratsdatenspeicherung

Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago

so does he believe that Swiss people do not play video games, or what

das ist was völlig Anderes, da geht es um Vorratsdatenspeicherung, nicht Chatkontrolle

“umount” is worse

ich bin ja dafür, bei schlechten Dingen das Positive zu sehen, aber das geht sogar mir etwas zu weit …

Probably software with only one user who has access to the source code, i.e. trivially FOSS but not publicly available.

Ich finde solche Aussagen vor allem deshalb komisch, weil: warum würden Kinder und Jugendliche auf etwas, was sie wirklich (!) verstört, draufklicken bzw. auf der Seite bleiben, wenn sie es versehentlich gefunden haben?

Natürlich geht es großteils darum, dass Jugendliche ganz normale Pornografie ansehen. Mittlerweile haben große Teile der erwachsenen Bevölkerung das als Jugendliche ebenfalls getan und sollten eigentlich merken, dass es ihnen nicht ernsthaft geschadet hat, sich anzusehen, was sie ansehen wollten.

Yes, many radio stations have online livestreams, so you can play radio from any device that can connect to the Internet and has an audio output. You can even play radio from your browser, there is a Firefox extension called Worldwide Radio.

DOCH!

Doch!

It doesn’t just need to pass the Council, but also the European Parliament, so there are still plenty of stages where it could fail.

Was erwartest du von einer Welt, in der “Internetsucht” (ursprünglich ein Satirebegriff) immer wieder unironisch verwendet wird …

I find this funny because I’ve been aware of, and even using, Linux for a lot longer than I have been using Lemmy (or Lemmy or even ActivityPub has even existed). Are many people really becoming more aware of Linux because they are moving from Reddit to Lemmy and then noticing people talking about Linux here?

I don’t know of any servers that have started to verify ages, but some have started to geoblock countries whose laws require it.

also useful, thanks, the one I linked to works for any website though, not just Lemmy instances

It’s not loading for me either.

In order to not just give you a fish, but also teach you how to fish: you can check whether any website is down for everyone or just you using https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ (a short URL for this is isup.me).

Isn’t this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don’t go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.
