loops.video is in development, from the same dev who did Pixelfed

This is the answer! Most people will not ever install a new operating system.

To be honest, I’m Irish and it seems to me colonialism influences a country to cling to their cultural practices more fiercely. Couple that with massive inter-generational trauma. In the case of Ireland, unfortunately that meant we had a brutal theocracy for decades after the British left.

I think the only reason Ireland is in any way more progressive now is because they let us join the European Union, and they gave us money!

Anyway I think you sound like a great person and the best of luck. I emigrated myself too, to England ironically…

Self hosted ‘The Lounge’ is great.

That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?

And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?

If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the #faircamp tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…

If not, you could try making an issue here: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues

Hm, if it thinks the font is Courier my guess is TextEdit is adding a file extension (like .rtf or something)

It needs to be just a .eno … maybe it’s like .eno.txt ?

You might be able to check that from Finder? But if not, you can see exactly what’s in your Faircamp folder (once you have used cd (current directory) to get in there) with this command:

ls

which lists everything in your current directory

If you’re working from something like my tutorial here, all the Linux instructions and commands will be the same using Brew + Terminal :)

Hello! If you’ve installed it with brew, you have faircamp working (no need for Linux). Are you familiar with Terminal? And how to use “cd” to move around? Is that what you mean by “point it to” your faircamp folder? For example, you would just type “cd /path/to/your/faircamp/folder”

It doesn’t matter where the faircamp folder is, it will build the site wherever you run the faircamp —preview command. (Sorry my phone isn’t formatting this correctly, there are two hyphens before “preview” 😆)

Not sure about official Mastodon app, but I am following loads of hashtags on Mastoot.

Matrix is good but it feels more like a WhatsApp group or something. Definitely room there to have a client that’s more fun, like Discord

Only tried issri on CLI Linux… Hexchat on windows I couldn’t eve get to connect lol. What are people using to keep IRC open, so you can look back on chats? Pretty new to it

Yep Ice Cubes is great, you can have loads of timelines on there if you want. Mastoot is also great, really nice to use and easy on the eye.

Yeah same, I had a terrible impression of Reddit until I actually created an account so I could stick to the “non-horrible” subreddits. But it just always felt a little… gross.

For Lemmy, I could tell blahaj.zone was gonna be cool. Been following loads of blahaj accounts already, on my Masto. My impression is we’re all interested in creating a welcoming & interesting space here 💜

I changed to Metager https://metager.org/ … it’s the only one I’ve found that still respects yer “string search”

I think Peertube does that! It’s usually pretty smooth…

I heard AV Linux was built on MX…

Knew there had to be an evolutionary reason for hands. Thx

Fair. And I’m now addicted to installing things in CLI anyway, ‘cause Windows store is a buggy nightmare

Nice, yeah AV Linux comes with a lot of pre-installed stuff so hoping it’s as easy as it seems :) I do like to tinker but not when I’m supposed to be doing other work haha

I hope so. Especially with greater interoperability between Fedi apps. That’s a real potential benefit compared to corporate social media — even to those who don’t care about independence and decentralisation
