  • That is not really correct, posts are represented differently from threads in Mbin (internally and in the UI). You don't have to post to a specific magazine / community. If you want your post to just float around in the Fediverse (so have the post associated with just your account + hashtags) you choose the random magazine for the post.I admit that this is not really intuitive and the random magazine is a crutch for this platform to handle plain posts. To make it a bit easier to grasp I created a PR to select the random magazine if one is not on a magazine page.

    But all of what you described is possible with Mbin. As an example I created this post (using the form on the generic microblog page) which you can see under posts on my local account. I would like to add links to federated Mbin and Mastodon instances, but nobody follows me, so remote instances don't pull posts.

    What is currently not possible is to follow hashtags (but you can list posts), but I am going to implement this soon.

  • What exactly do you mean "to a profile"? Can you give an example of the difference (I never used Mastodon)?

  • Could you describe your problem in more detail?

    Microblogs are always associated to your profile. If you want to post something which is not meant for a specific magazine, the random magazine is what you need to use. It is a pseudo-magazine (and so not federated as a community) which aggregates all microblog posts which are not attached to a real magazine.

    Do you know a project for maintaining sticker packs for multiple platforms?

  • A friend of mine and I had a discussion why Browser add workspaces or side-panel like views inside them as I think the usage of multiple windows archives the same effect: separating a bunch of tabs.They had the argument that it benefits as many windows get hard to handle when you try to find the right one in the taskbar after minimizing one.

    So I had the idea "That's a good point. But why limit it to Browsers and Co and wait for them to implement such stuff (other example is tmux with terminals)". So I started researching and found a Mastodon post (sorry, but I forgot where it was) that showed a Plasma shell inside a Wayland window. With some tinkering I came up with this script.

    Now to answer your question: it can help to organize a lot of windows, but each Plasma instance takes about 200 MB RAM and also on my computer the main Plasma instance kept crashing after some minutes.

  • kwin_wayland supports launching Wayland displays inside a Wayland display. This can be used to launch KDE Plasma inside these windowed displays, and that recursive.

    A GitHub with the script is here.

    I heard you like desktops, so I put a desktop in your desktop in your desktop

  • Would fit very well, but kinda hard to animate with ASCII or Unicode half-block char :D

  • It can do this. It is a patch of systemd-bsod, so it can (almost) everything it the original can.The program searches for the latest logmessage with emergency level and displays it.
