Wait, am I seeing correctly? Did they really go so far as to completely disable the issue system in GitHub in favor of Discord?

That's certainly a... choice.

The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense.

Hilariously, the issue creator still hasn't given up and is now trying to communicate with the maintainer privately. 🙃

I'd really want to know what's driving them. Surely no sane person would be this persistent without some ulterior motives?

Yup. Small Intel NUC, Linux, and one of those Air mouse remotes are all I need.

It's hard not to be that guy and mention how neat such a setup is every time I have to watch someone else fumbling around with the horribly designed and ad-ridden UI of their "smart" TV.

Personally I hate these tools with a passion as every single one I've seen goes overboard and disables potentially wanted features or straight up breaks stuff in its default configuration. It's always fun to figure out what's wrong with a machine only to eventually figure out that the owner used one of those tools a few months ago.

IMO people should either do these changes themselves or use another OS, though ultimately there needs to be legislation against this to help the non-technical people.

Looks this is a refresh for those who were on the edge of buying one or those who really love OLED.

Personally, I would've instantly sold mine and upgraded if these also had VRR. Hopefully the proper next generation of these devices comes with it.

i don’t understand how i connect the pc to the domain.

Yeah, that's the part where I think there's some misunderstanding. You don't "connect" the server to your domain. Instead, there is a Nameserver (most run by your registrar, GoDaddy) that hosts a list of DNS records, that you can edit, which point to IPs. So you need to edit those to point to your public IP (or set up stuff like DynDNS if your IP isn't static) and once that's doneand the port forwarding is also set up properly in the Fritz!Box you should be able to connect.

That said, what's wrong with VPN? Particularly if you're using Wireguard VPN, which was recently added to Fritz!Box, there shouldn't be any performance differences. Plus, it would be safer than exposing services to the whole internet, doubly so if you're not a networking expert.

Even stranger is, I can’t figure out what you’re upset about.

It seems like they latched onto the idea that everyone who comments along the lines of "This is a stupid idea.", secretly intends to say "This is a stupid idea, which is why there shouldn't be any gun regulation at all." instead. Needless to say, that's an insane take and only results in them constructing these giant straw man arguments against people who are most likely on the same side as them.

What kind of content are you guys getting from there?

For me it's probably best described as "background chatter", so mostly a bunch of different news sites that aren't important enough for me to go into my RSS feed, bots posting notifications, and random thoughts from bloggers.

Any stuff like that to help onboarding Mastodon?

There are those that help you to stay on your home instance as well, but the big one for me is StreetPass for Mastodon, which finds and collects Mastodon accounts as you browse the web. That way you can organically build your network without much effort. You'd be surprised how many accounts from news sites, open source projects and people with blogs you can find that way.

Yup. What I'd actually like to see is a secondary USB-C port becoming much more common. USB-C is just much more universal and if both ports support charging it also helps device longevity since you can still charge if one breaks. My handheld emulation device has two and it's been handy several times already.

Not an expert on this but, but AFAIK having the analog component inside the device is exactly the problem, as all the components in there cause electrical interference that you can't really shield against inside such a tiny device. It's similar to how the built-in PC audio is often quite bad compared to even the cheapest external DAC.
