There is a reason, why I block this person who wrote it. She allows herself to be influenced by hate speech, tries to force her opinion on others, and abuses her power of an entire instance to lock someone out instance-wide because one person pushes Twitter’s lies on her.
This person is not trustworthy because she lashes out with her ignorance and arrogance and thinks she can get away with anything.
She can’t even follow her own instance rules, where it is written that even microaggressions are not allowed, but she and several members of her instance make active use of #Fediblock, in which they offend the denounced persons now and then. In addition, she carries information that people have emailed her into her public timeline and uses it to further incite hatred.
There are minor things not working. E.g. networking with Wireguard and OpenVPN are turned off mostly, because on container VMs this needs some changes on host side. Switching the Kernel is not possible. Most of the time very system-oriented operations. If it’s just about providing a web page, e.g. Lemmy, etc. that would be perfectly adequate.
He’s not the only mod who’s abusing his powers. !privacy@lemmy.ml and !technology@lemmy.ml have the same problem. A reason, why I have banned this coms on my instance.

There it is described how to inject a wrong commit into a Github repository.
You could use software like Cryptomator and upload it to a Nextcloud.
Because Nextcloud is way more than just a file vault, you may want to use something more lightweight, like Pydio or Seafile.
email encryption between users
Already exists, but it’s not offered on most WebUIs
markdown
Would be a nice idea, but in my eyes more a client side feature
connection with activity pub? (What would this look like)
Please not. As far as I understood, activity pub is used for public messages, which emails are never meant for.
compatibility with standard email users, the features are simply not activated
What is a “standard” email user?
maybe “smart attachments” for money transfers, calender invites, etc.
Calender invites are working with ICS files, if the client uses the file correctly. Also Groupware like OX, Kopano (Zarafa), … already uses this feature since first release.
somehow better support for email discussion groups
Better support for mailing lists? How do you mean this?
this spec should be focused heavily on usage for humans instead of automated mailing, I expect html would not be defined.
Emails only transport what you give them. Clients translate HTML content, but you could also send just markdown in text format.
Most features I see listed are client side features. One could contribute to open source email clients like Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail, Geary, Sylpheed, Claws Mail or Mutt and suggest such options. You could also look at DeltaChat, which already implements a few of these features and can also handle “normal” emails. Some even use it as their only email client.
Mail clients like Spike, for example, already go other ways and display emails like a conversation, like DeltaChat.
Unfortunately, however, most use email via a WebUI or Outlook. Add to that, many uses Gmail, even many wannabe Mastodon instance provider. And we all know how much they love to receive ideas from others.
The question is more: What is the “average” desktop user?
E.g. average developer I know use Linux as daily driver. Some writers/authors too.
Such articles are always written as if the writer knows and if he understands what he writes about, but especially with this one you can see quite well that there is a lot of subjective, poorly researched opinion behind it.
Done with #2012 😊

oh boy … this “memory-unsafe”-argument again 🤦
Even with a Windows looking desktop UI and usage of AppImages, it’s still no Windows! There are no .exe-Files for drivers and games. There is no Microsoft account you need to login to. There is no “installer” who ask for the path you want to install your program.
I agree with @poVoq@lemmy.ml
What a Linux desktop needs is a user, who’s able to think and who not assumes that it has to work the way he is used to from Windows. Many are simply unwilling to learn and therefore reject Linux.
A VPN is not the ultimate solution. The endpoint of a VPN can be infiltrated just like a middle relay of a Tor network. The same applies to logging. Everything has its purpose, and a VPN is not a solution for anonymity, because the connection can always be traced. A VPN is a solution when you need to get into a protected network. A Mech-VPN, such as Wireguard, has the best use case for connecting multiple servers to securely exchange data between them. And I2P and Tor are the best solutions for Anonymity.
than huge facebook size instances
That’s what the most administrators on Mastodon already do. Some of them already closed their registration, so that interested use other instances. But this is also to avoid that a huge number of users would be affected by a possible server down.
that gab started out as the largest instance so they would have scaling problems
It’s definitely a scaling problem. An issue that big networks like Facebook and Twitter had too. But they solved the issue instead of searching the issue somewhere else.
This was being used as an attack vector. People were spinning up little mastodon instances on remote vpc’s and trying to over load gabs system.
If this was/is such a problem, big instances like mstdn.social and mastodon.social would do something. To me, it sounds like whining by a largely excluded society of Nazis by creating “issues” that apparently aren’t, in order to generate attention.

What’s an AGI?
Sorry for my stupid question, but I read it the first time now.
