Year of Linux on the Desktop in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Really liked Mint, unfortunately the kernel was not new enough to support my 7900 XTX when I upgraded GPU so I ended up switching to Pop_OS which works fine as well.

The caffe runner had some versions that didn't have the mouse focus problem, but it's nice it works out of the box now.

I think the experience depends a lot on what ditros you're using and your hardware configuration. I started out on Manjaro and that ran terribly for me, then i went on to Linux Mint which i liked a lot and that was solid, but since i got a new GPU i needed a distro with a newer kernel which made me switch to Pop!_os and that is also running great. But i won't deny that audio was a bit flakey on Mint for me until i messed with it, seems solid on Pop though.

to me this is a feature rather than an issue, whenever a package is updated in the package repository it's super convenient to just update them from the same place instead of having auto-updaters built into all applications on the system. i guess that's a preference thing though.

Concerns about ActivityPub (feddit.dk)
 

Hey, i'm a software developer and i'm considering trying to build a site using ActivityPub, but i have a few concerns about it. My first concern is that if the platform is open source someone can host a malicious version of it, where certain requests may be ignored (such as deletion).

This leads into my next concern which is GDPR, because now i can't be certain that a users data gets deleted upon their request and i'm not certain whether i would be liable since my instance federates with the malicious instance (which may also not be hosted in the EU which is itself problematic, and even if i'm not liable it's still not great).

I considered if it was viable to make the platform invite based somehow, so that it doesn't federate with everything by default, but that also sort of defeats the purpose of using ActivityPub.

The loss of control over content is also something that i don't particularly like, since some people may use their own instance for harassment or something else gross, but i guess that wouldn't be my problem since i just wrote the code and wouldn't have anything to do with the hosting of such sites.

i'd appreciate any feedback since i think the technology and the fediverse is very interesting, i would definitely like to try it out, but i'm not sure how to go about these challenges.
