OK, thanks !

Yeap, I was thinking if perhaps any subscriber would support it, but didn't find any which documents it. Perhaps you're right and subscriber wrapper is needed.

I t doesn't seem I can remove stuff from newsflash, only mark stuff as read. This might be problematic long term, when using local RSS.

Thanks !

Well, Thunderbird doesn't, so I couldn't tell if all others were the same, :(

Thanks !

Thanks !

Thanks, I'll keep it as a 2nd option, since it's Electron based.

It does have a "All articles" view, :) I'll go for it. On Arch it depends on webkitgtk, which some time back was considered insecure, and webkit2gtk was supposed to be the only one to use. Perhaps that changed...

Thanks !

akregator is unfortunately part of the kde-pim, requiring akonadi, and a bunch of kde deps, see for example:

    
% pacman -S akregator

I was hoping there's something which way less dependencies, hopefully GTK rather than Qt... At some point I wanted to use kmail and korganizer, also part of kde-pim, but besides korganizer never fixing a pretty old bug, the amount of deps I needed, plus the akonadi DB, made go back on that attempt. The same goes for akregator unfortunately...

Ohh, I didn't know lemmy already offered such thing. So it would be like https://_instance_/feeds/c/_community_.xml?sort=Active then?

Pretty interesting. I was not counting on a rss sort of reader extension, but it might work... I'll explore it, though if lemmy already support rss seeds, perhaps I can get a more generic rss reader doing it... Thanks !

It might achieve it, but I'm not looking into having a lemmy instance, but rather being able to sort of browse and keep up to date with some communities, just as it was possible to do with reddit (no need to host anything)...

BTW, that's a c++ lib (I was looking for a C one, but one never knows). I'm aware of zlog, for example, but it doesn't offer structured logs. Sad to read it seems there's no lib natively offering all this...

Thanks a lot !

Perhaps @lapcatsoftware@mastodon.online could think of lemmy besides mastodon, hehe

Yeah, I was afraid so... I'm OK with Arch, and I actually use Artix (to avoid systemd), but I know there are people who don't want, neither can do configs, nor maintain them on upgrades, as it's a typical thing on Arch, and most distros based on it... So I'm afraid there's really no Arch based distribution for those kind of users, and EndeavourOS seems no exception. Actually if one really wants typical Arch after installation, there are alternatives to the Arch ISO, no need for other distribution for that I'd suggest...

It'd be nice to have an Arch based distribution equivalent to Mint, so maintenance is really minimal on new users, and users with no tech abilities. Something rolling release is actually something welcome for such users, since having to upgrade on major versions is not always as clean, even for people with some experience.

At any rate, thanks for the clarification.

One thing I don't know about any Arch based distributions is how about configurations. On Arch, the default configurations for some packages, whether do not work out of the box, or are not the safest configs. Whether while installing new SW, or while updating, there's a good level of involvement particularly with configurations.

Apart from installation, which in rolling release distributions it might be about a one time thing per device, configuration might become a burden for new users.

I believe Manjaro (I've never used it) comes with some sort of sane configs that work out of the box for most users, unless when looking for particular tweaks, or so I read in the past. But Manjaro has fallen really down on people's preferences. If EndeavourOS uses Arch repos, I'm wondering if there's any difference, once installed, between maintaining Arch and maintaining EndeavourOS. Just by how it sounds, it's the same thing, a lot of wikies readings (particularly when not familiar with the SW and how to make it work, there's SW that works without particular configs, but there are some that don't really work nicely out of the box on Arch), having to config lots of things to install stuff and make it work, and then be careful on upgrades about configs changes. It doesn't look like EndeavourOS makes this any simpler, and just having some extra stuff, but not having their own repos, where they package SW with curated configs, then I see no purpose other than to make the Arch install easier, which now a days have alternative ways to do so.

Can some one please clarify on configs, and maintenance in general, for EndeavourOS? Is there an Arch based distribution really making this easier on new gnu+linux users, who are are really not used to deal with any of that? TBH, depending on Arch packages repositories sounds hard to achieve any of that...

BTW, if using only apkmirror and apkpure as sources for apks, I'd recommend apkgrabber instead of their own binary apps

it's not just osm instead of gmaps for the FOSS version. It's NOT using google push notificationss neither gapps at all. Using sockets instead of push notifications. It makes molly FOSS being more battery hungry, but at least it's not using google stuff. Not sure if the dev would be willing to integrate suipport for unified push for the FOSS version, that'd be even better...

There's a !pine64@lemmy.ml community BTW...
