  • Tor is an application and technically doesn't even has much to do with Linux itself, except that it also runs on it. Where you using a guide for installing and if so which one?

  • Minimalism is Getting Absurd: Updating Dieter Rams' 10 Principles
  • Very insightful look into the mechanisms of minimalist design and their shortcomings.

    Minimalism as a design trend dates back to the beginning of the last century, but you might have noticed that companies have extensively used minimalist principles in their product design in the past few years. Apple is especially known for this, but you see it everywhere nowadays. Cars, fridges, TVs... they are all stripped of any extravagant design features: fewer buttons, no ornaments, single colors, and so on. Even if you are not designer, you have probably noticed that in some way.

    The German Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament has ditched X (Twitter) in favour of open-source decentralised Mastodon
  • This has likely happened because the german government created the social.bund.de instance earlier this year

    The instance is almost 3.5 years old btw, which you can easily see from the instance admin account @itteam@social.bund.de. It just wasn't used by many government departments at the time, mostly the data protection agency and the BSI. The @ltrlp@social.bund.de account itself is pretty old too. It dates back to before the whole Twitter debacle. I guess that's also part of the reason why they decided to go full Mastodon, since they already have a lot of experiences with it.

  • Willkommen bei Politikberichterstattung in Deutschland. Politik ist hier eine Abfolge von Ereignissen, die einfach passieren, aus Gründen, die keiner so richtig weiß, weil Motivation, Kalkül und Agendas im Politikbetrieb anscheinend nicht existieren. Und selbst wenn sie existieren, wäre eine Analyse oder gar kritische Betrachtung ein Affront gegen die selbstauferlegt journalistische Neutralität, die jedoch nur gegenüber dem Status Quo existiert. "Wie konnte das denn passieren???!" ist die große Frage, die in Deutschland oft gestellt, aber wenig beantwortet wird.

  • The official chat room for a privacy community is discord?
  • Matrix is also decentralized/federated, has encryption integrated into the protocol and enjoys a broad adoption and public support. It also has pretty good integration of bots and even other message protocol services like IRC via "bridges". The chat clients are pretty good too; Element is pretty much available for every platform but there's other one's which are more focussed on Desktop or mobile usage, depending on how you primarily use it.

    Announcing OpenLemmyStats.org: Publicly Queryable Vote History + Other Hidden Data for Any Lemmy User!
  • I'm pretty sure there is no particular reason why it's done this way. It's just the easiest method to coomunicate upvotes across different servers. There are already a lot of ideas for doing it differently or more efficient (e.g. vote aggregation) but that requires a more sophisticated architecture:

    • Vote aggregation also makes faking votes much more efficient and requires different detection methods. Of course, a spam server can also invent users or votes but it's a bit more complicated.
    • Aggregation in any form can be hard to implement because it should be flexible enough to reduce load but not increase delay or make tracking a consistent state even harder. Finding the right configuration will be difficult and go through a lot of trial and error. Should be easier though now that more people are working on the code.
    • Keep in mind that Lemmy should also be able to communicate with other services across the Fediverse like Mastodon via ActivityPub. I'm not sure if there is something in the standard for message aggregation yet. It's definitely being discussed because Mastodon, Pixelfed and Peertube all have or went thorugh the same growth problems as Lemmy in terms of scaling, spam and security concerns. If there's a good solution it will likely come through the AP standard.
