https://distrosea.com/ this is amazing for previewing linux OS flavours right in your browser, no need for a USB stick or installation! Linux Mint, Zorin, Ubuntu and Fedora are the winners for me in terms of being normie friendly.

ah… bugger. That’s the link I used. I’ll see if I can find another from the person who posted it.

Probably could be more slick, but working fine for my everyday needs.
The touch screen didn’t work immediately, I had to search up for a command line solution to that. But most won’t face that if they flash onto other (non-Surface) hardware.

I’m reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!

I was juuuust about to recommend Mega on my ‘alts to big tech’ part of my website, then I found this out… nope.

Governments need to fund more FOSS not less!
Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.
Hey dude, I’m interested in an EPUB copy. And I’ll share it with others who will benefit.
How about this for an alt email: dontsellmydata@tuta.com 😂
6·26 days agoThank you that is useful to have that explanation here. I had no idea it works like that!
I’ve not seen this type of logging in issue within the Mastodon ‘world’ because no one’s ever ‘sent me a link from another instance and then I tried to log on from that link’ 😂. I just tried it on an inprivate browser window and of course it’s the same as what I found here with Lemmy - as you described. With Mastodon I’m on the .social instance and I can see and interact with posts from any other instance - but after your explanation I realise that’s because the content was alwasy served up from within the instance.
[I agree that with ActivityPub we certainly cannot expect to log in with the same handle *between *services (i.e. use your Mastodon handle to log in to Lemmy). Although that would be cool. Persistent IDs across the fediverse would be the dream imho (like Nostr does it).]
oh right. Well here’s the post I was talking about: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.nl/post/31396342 😊 Thanks!
Thank you all for explaining.
The behaviour I was expecting was to click ‘login’ on the feddit.nl page, and that login page to recognise that I was logging in with the credentials used by lemmy.ml, and to log me into lemmy.ml instead, and then to be redirected to the ‘local’ version of the link on the lemmy.ml instance.
Rather than it just be a feddit.nl login page only, and be told ‘log in not recognised’. That’s where my confusion came from. I’m like “wait, I can’t log into Lemmy here? why?!”
Ooooooooh I see! right… yes that works.
I wasn’t familiar with the idea of the instance ‘fetching’ a post. Thank you!
yeah that happens sometimes, and I have no idea why. The web hosting people told me the encryption certs are fine and everything’s working, but it sometimes does that 🤷🏼♂️
I built it myself, using 2005 html skills, so it’s probably something I’ve done… but give it a few more goes, or take off the VPN and try. We have no trackers in the site so you’ll be safe.
