Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/

And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:

The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber ​​Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.

I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). But there seems to be some efforts on creating a bridge: https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed

As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.

I believe there is already a browser add on for this. Cannot remember the name right now.

Edit: I think this should be in Lemmy core.

I would add Ars Technica to that list and call it a day.

For programming I follow YouTube channels of the conferences relevant for my tech stack (YouTube natively supports RSS). They are generally 1 hour talks but it’s a great way to stay up to date.

!learn_programming@programming.dev

I think you have a better chance if your instance focuses on a topic instead of being general purpose. That’s the reason I chose programming.dev. All communities there are related to programming so when I sort by “local” I see something interesting even though I haven’t subscribed to that community. And that increases my interaction with those communities.

Ok, maybe I misunderstood your question. I though you were proposing # instead of $ sudo and I meant to say that being explicit is better.

That sounds cool. Thanks for the recommendation.

What about the packages that are not available in flatpak? I assume there must be some packages that are only available in certain corners of the internet?

Thanks

Are there any other distros that are flatpak-only?

I don’t work much with Linux systems these days, but I would vote for $ sudo over #. Two reasons:

1. It’s easy to overlook the prompt. That part is basically “some characters before the actual command”, so I don’t normally pay attention to it.
2. # is also used for comments. I think it would be confusing to use the same character for two wildly different things.

Would love to see a browser based implementation of this.

Here is another implementation: Another Blog Resurrection, the Fediverse, and a New Comment System

Thanks. I didn’t know that when one adds an image it would override the URL. Even though the post contains the URL, clicking on the title only shows the image. I included the URL in the post body, but it’s not as visible, unfortunately.

Overheid.nl is the central access point to all information about government organisations of the Netherlands.

Did you take a look at write freely or other blogging software with native ActivityPub support?

I would definitely have the “Vital Contributor” badge if it existed.
