No, why? It’s not like it would hurt them that much. FINE THEM HARDER!!!

You can probably build a server image. I used Bluebuild, I’d recommend you check them out

All those apps are tied to Plasma, pull Plasma as a dependency, and as such, are not what you’d want to use unless you want to keep 2 DEs around. Okular is an exception, but I know for a fact that Dolphin pulls all of Plasma with it. For an Ark alternative, just use xarchiver (contrary to the name, works perfectly on Wayland). Gwenview is just an image viewer. Use ristretto or something else. COSMIC comes with its own screenshot utility as Spectacle replacement (and COSMIC Screenshot is quite good in my experience). And just replace Dolphin with COSMIC files (for a simpler experience) or Thunar (for something more powerful) and you’re good to go.

Edit: But I agree QT theming should be added. IIRC, they’ve talked to the Plasma team, but it was just too time consuming so they’ve put it of for now, but will have this done eventually. It’s a promised feature, it just probably won’t happen soon.

No Way! What??? How did they manage to…? Is the Issue Board on Github wrong? It shows tens of issues yet to fix??? Link: https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1

It’s dnf5 time!

cries in still waiting for new Anaconda installer

(for those curious, I had to use Anaconda 8 times in the last 2 days, because I was setting up (more like trying and failing to set up) a custom ublue image).

A light grey flat cap

I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.

A lot of examples people here are giving, are types of doublespeak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP07oyFTRXc

It’s scary how our corporate overlords watch all the distopian films and are like: Let’s turn that into a reality!

Nice! I love seeing rices where people make their own colourschemes! It’s unique and showcases better creativity imo

Imagine it becomes easier to run Windows x86 programs on Linux, than on Windows. And I won’t be surprised at all if performance is better.

Imagine if THAT becomes Linux’ killer feature.

A more lightweight system without the crazy system requirements, certain systems more stable and easier to get into for gaming, no ads and no spyware out of the box, no extra cruft nobody needs out of the box, and better support for x86 emulation on ARM.

Now THAT is a checklist to getting people interested.

There is also the free of charge aspect, but I’m not sure how appealing that would be, with Windows being bundled in.

Anything else I missed, feel free to let me know.

I recently (as in, 2 days ago) set up a self hosted blog on Gitlab Pages using Hugo. As it’s a static site, hosting is free, though the domain is paid. I was actually just about to start writing a new blog post after catching up with Lemmy. The thing about your own blog is that there are no requirements, constraints or limitations. My first article, about the naming of this blog, and how much I suck at naming things, was a pleasure to write because at times my mind went to whether that was the best way to write or portray something, but then I stopped myself. This is my blog, my rules, and as such, I have complete freedom over it. And it made writing a joy, because I could just be honest and unfiltered. It also quickly made me realise how much I’d hate writing for a big website, where they are likely to have restrictions on some things, or requirements, or promotion and monetisation, that could suck the joy out of doing this, making it something I’d absolutely hate.

But, to each their own. I guess it really depends on what topics you’d like to cover and how you’d like to cover them.

I feel bad for not hearing about it until now. This looks and sounds amazing. Too bad it was killed by stripe and tight budgets.

Employees are getting so expensive, they’re replaced with robot mushrooms? Didn’t see that on my 2024 bingo card.

But it will happen, or at least be attempted if the technology gets there. You just wait for it.

I don’t remember this one, but it gives me strong “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” vibes. Am I right?

Great, but the fictitious financial system is based on the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If you want to see the US collapsing, then I guess it’s true that

Some men just want to watch the world burn

TLDR: HMD, the company behind modern Nokia phones, is making repairable devices, but software support is only 3 years, so if you buy it 1 year later on sale, and the phone screen breaks in a year or so, it will have less than a year left of security updates. The issue is that the bootloader can’t be easily unlocked either, so no Custom ROMs for you. You’re stuck with 3 years of support.

Fairphone do it right cuz they do software support properly as well.

10k for a company making millions annually is nothing, 1% or less. But split between some of these projects, especially the less appreciated or funded ones, can be life changing.

But you’re unfortunately right

I’ve seen a lot of red themes and without any exceptions I can recall, they’ve all sucked. But this. This is actually pretty good.

Things like this make me wish I was a tech CEO. I’d totally be the guy ensuring we give back to projects if I was.
