You probably know this already, but X11 hasn't been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.

sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11

A lot of people did jump to Mastodon, and apparently it had had another large influx of users yesterday after all the Twitter shenanigans. Not everyone stays though, obviously.

I think part of the issue some have with Mastodon is the lack of Twitter's algorithm. It's absolutely true to say it's harder to find people and topics to follow on Mastodon for the simple reason that you're not getting anything shoved in your face, which is a massive plus point for many (myself included) but can also make it appear initially less appealing.

Thanks for the recommendation. This is excellent, and so far it works brilliantly for a a PWA.

That looks rather nice. My Pixel 6 should be good for a few years yet, but I'd like to think my next phone will be a Fairphone if they keep improving like this.

I think the bubble has certainly burst. COVID resulted in loads of new consumer investers, and the visibility of crypto had never been higher. Exchanges were being advertised by major celebrities on Superbowl ads!

Then the market crashed, and all those investers realised what a mistake they'd made. I don't think it's a mistake many will make twice.

It was such a bizarre time, with major governments talking about minting their own NFTs or even their own digital currencies. That all seems to have quietly gone away now, thankfully.

I switched to Firefox from Brave a while ago, partly due to Mozilla's Mastodon announcement and their general approach, and to be honest it's been fine for the most part.

That said, I've absolutely run into some minor issues on a couple of sites that were indeed fixed by using Brave again.

I found PCPartPicker really useful when I last built a PC:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

It helps you pick compatible parts, and links to sites you can buy them from. I'd still shop around for the best price after building your list(s), but it's a great place to start.
