I've dressed up my #PureOS installation. It's been a while since I've had a Linux-based environment dedicated to daily computing, but overall I'm excited about it.
.
I think I'm going to stick with #Gnome for a little while. I love #KDE, but the toolkit clash between different applications really hinders the experience. It's easier to make Qt just mimic GTK+ on a Gnome desktop.
This distribution ships with Gnome 3.22, running on top of Wayland. What's surprising is that most of the Wayland experience is completely invisible to the end user. It could run ever so slightly smootherFor an open source video driver, it doesn't run too poorly. A very basic demo of glxgears runs at 75 FPS - though not a definitive benchmark, it generally feels good.
Media and important files have all been transferred over, a development environment has been configured, tools have been set up, and a few choice themes / extensions have been assembled.

You might want to follow this issue:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720519
After being dead for a couple of years it has buzzed back to life in the last couple of months and there was an encouraging note about approaching readiness to merge added just yesterday.
-
I haven't tried that, but I have been using CalDAV with Android's DAVdroid app and my Mac's native calendar app without issues. Oh, and OpenTasks uses the same account but manages task lists. I love the checklist feature and how it automatically calculates the percentage complete based on the fraction of checked items in a task.
-
What do you think this is, Diaspora? :P
-
@dsh Did you try asking on Discourse? :^)
-
@Hubzilla Support Forum I want to start experimenting with Hubzilla integration on my desktop OS. Is there a good guide for getting CalDAV to work with Gnome Online Accounts?
-
Seems imminent. I've been actively getting Github notifications on this stuff, and it seems like this has been in active development for quite a while. There are now pods that run an incompatible protocol with PHP Diaspora, although a solution is in the works and has my complete confidence.
On the one hand, I'm super happy that federation ended up getting put into a gem. This will hopefully provide a less rigid structure for further federation development, which we had stumbled over for a long time.
A well-documented gem could hold potential for other Rails apps to adopt - given the right training materials, it could be possible to make Rails apps use it and technically be compatible with the federation. The idea of the protocol actually being extended to provide new fixtures or features is interesting, too.
Diaspora is far from perfect, but the protocol has been a common glue tying the overall federation together. Improving it might facilitate certain shortcomings, and in time it may even take examples from Zot or ActivityPub or even Tent, for their different approaches to problems.
-
But the most important innovation is the introduction of the concept of account migration, which will make it possible for users to move their account entirely to a different diaspora* server while keeping their contacts, messages, comments... One of the headline promises of the diaspora* project was to give complete power to the user by enabling them to move from one pod to another at will. Thanks to the release of version 0.2.0 of the protocol, this is now closer than ever to becoming a reality!
Is this imminent or still a ways off?
-
Pretty huge news for the #Diaspora project:
Our federation protocol just got bigger and better! - The diaspora* Project
tl;dr: The next major version of diaspora* (0.7.0.0) will include a new major version (0.2.0) of diaspora*’s federation protocol. The release of this version demonstrates that the ‘cleaning’ phase has been finished and that the community is now able to develop this protocol further.
Under an AGPL 3.0 licence and proven by many years of production, the protocol and its implementation are both reliable and robust. We encourage projects seeking to create the federated social web to take an interest in this protocol, and we will push its wider adoption by providing support and an automatic tool to test its implementation in other languages. Apart from the reference implementation in Ruby, there are currently two implementations in PHP, one in Python and one in Go, which are at various stages of development.

Please post about experiences with the device... And congratulations on getting it!
-
Awesome! Don't forget to write a review when you get it! I'm looking around for a replacement for my Googe-freed Cromebook running on Coreboot.
-
So excited for my #LibreM 15 v3 - ready for Coreboot and using #Linux full-time again.

LEGAL WEED IS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Stumbling through and getting something working is an incredibly satisfying thing, though!
-
I getcha. I sometimes manage muddle through these things by trial and error, but probably on things that are about 10% the complexity of what you're doing. I mean, like running a website that I've built on PHP code. I'm impressed with what I've done, given that I'm not a technical type person, but I really don't have much of an idea of how it works; it just does, somehow. And now I need to try to integrate some Javascript functions to do something new the client wants, and oh my - I have no idea.
I look forward to seeing how your project turns out!
ps: I've been meaning for some time to ask you to explain Red/Hubz to me. The concept sounds really good, but I can't quite understand exactly what it is. I'd like to be involved in it. But that's a conversation for another thread, don't want to disrail(i) this one,
-
I managed to stumble through it on my own, but thanks for the tip. ;)
I was mostly hung up on the proper convention to use, where to call certain things out, and telling the app to route things correctly.
-
I think Steffen and Benjamin (Supertux) have done stuff with acts_as_taggable over the past couple of years, might be worth talking to them. I literally have no idea what it means.
-
Trying to understand the mystery of the acts_as_taggable_on gem in #Rails. I feel like a huge dummy; not quite able to get tags to work.
