I've been using it on my Fedora laptop for the past week or so and it's really nice, even in alpha 1! Can't wait to see how it turns out fully finished!

Finding info about local meetings (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Not sure if this is the place to ask, I recently moved to OKC for an internship and was looking into the local 2600 meetings, since I finally live in a city that has them. I found where they meet in the latest issue, but that's about all I know. I don't know any times or days or anything. I've tried looking around on the web, but also haven't found much. Does anyone know how I could go about finding any of that info out?

Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps in c/[email protected]

Imagine being so against people using certain programs on their computer that you straight up deny them software updates.

Is there anything unsavory about ProtonMail? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

My only major complaint is their free-tier is a bit lacking compared to what Skiff had (or I guess has, but not for much longer.) I think their platform is great, and definitely worth paying for, but given I'm a broke college student that's not much of an option. Also their support for third party clients (or lack thereof) isn't great, though I don't use those as much. Otherwise I like it quite a bit!

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Generally I have when I use Gnome or KDE on Linux, though I have started to prefer MATE, which doesn't have Wayland support yet afaik. I also started using FreeBSD on one of my computers a bit more, and I believe Wayland support is still a bit wonky on that right now. But as soon as Wayland support is there I'm definitely switching to that on the daily.

Framework Laptop bug reporting questions (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I saw that the FreeBSD Foundation announced it was working with Framework to certify their laptops to be able to run FreeBSD out of the box. I am currently running GhostBSD (FreeBSD-based for anyone who is unfamiliar) and was wondering some things about reporting bugs.

  1. Do I just report them to the normal Bugzilla tracker? Or is there somewhere else I should report bugs?
  2. Is it a problem that I'm running GhostBSD instead of normal FreeBSD? I know it is based on FreeBSD Stable, but I wanted to check in case it would be different enough that I should be reporting elsewhere.
Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always thought those were really cool! I used to have the launcher they made for Android on my old Droid Turbo, and it was pretty cool! Then it stopped working when I got a new phone with a newer version of Android.

How should you handle migrating Mastodon instances? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I have been a member of my current Mastodon instance for a few years now, and I absolutely love the community there. But recently, I found a Firefish instance that I am thinking of maybe switching over to, because I like Firefish so far, and the community there is also really awesome. I figure with migrating followers, I can still be a part of both communities from the new account (especially since I mainly stay in my following feed and don't really browse the local feed.)

I'm still holding off on migrating for a bit until the honeymoon phase wears off, but if I do end up doing it, is there anything I need to/should do beyond just going through the migration process and transferring the data over? Like is there some sort of courtesy post I should make on my Mastodon instance saying I am moving over? Or am I just overthinking everything?

Microsoft Word page numbers turning sideways (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

My boss is trying to add page numbers to a Microsoft Word document, and for some reason the numbers are showing up sideways. I have no idea what is causing it, and if I try to copy the text to a new document with normal page number orientation, they will turn sideways. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

No boot entry for OpenBSD after install (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I am fairly new to OpenBSD, and for some reason when I install it on my laptop it doesn't show any boot option. My computer will just say there's nothing to boot, and going into the boot options menu there's nothing. Any idea why this might be happening?
