Alyssa Rosenzweig stay winning. Incredible work as always.

Not exactly unheard of:

Terminal:

Vim or Neovim, Tmux or Zillij.

Web browser:

Firefox or a fork, but personally I’m fine with the standard Mozilla offering with a couple of extensions.

Photos:

Big fan of darktable as a lightroom replacement.

Also this is the Med, it’s not the Pacific or the Atlantic or like the Drake Passage. It’s the Mediterranean. It’s not exactly the roughest sea.

Yes I get what your saying, but in this analogy the screws are destroying the planet, and also hallucinate enough to be completely untrustworthy as fastenings.

Chat gpt in his screenshot. What a hack.

Honestly look down the 250 top rated games on steam. Something may appeal to you. Then go on ProtonDB to check that the game works ok on Linux.

That is very cool, it would make a fun project.

There definitely should be a good open source e-reader, but for what it’s worth I use a Kobo Clara 2e (newer models are available in both black and white and colour eink) and it works fine for me.

I download books from various resources; like Project Gutenberg and use Calibre for managing them. Works pretty seamlessly, especially with the Calibre Kobo plugin for automatic conversion to the kepub format too. However this obviously requires the use of a computer, which may be a dealbreaker. Also Kobo works well with Overdrive for borrowing library ebooks, which is neat.

For laptops with RGB-backlit keyboards, Plasma has gained the ability to keep the backlight color in sync with the active accent color!

That’s insane, this is why I both like KDE and the open source community in general. An option that only 1% of users will ever be able to use. And, of those only ~50% max who are able to use it will actually want to use, but someone has made it an optional feature anyway as a passion project. I will never use this but I’m delighted it exists.

I hate buying any clothing with a brand name visible, but for certain types of item like sports clothes it’s almost impossible.

This is fucking horrific.

Let me also ask, do you think the rest of the world moved away from it for no reason?

“We will scale up the building and supply of government-subsidized housing and improve the basic systems for commodity housing to meet people’s essential need for a home to live in and their different demands for better housing,” - but what about the profit motive?

Always been more of a gnome guy, but 6.0 is making me look over the fence with a little envy! Kongratulations to the KDE team and community. Fantastic work.

Fedora at the end of April with fedora 40

iirc the no windows 9 thing was actually because a lot of software ran a compatibility check like:

if windows version = “windows 9*” then open legacy mode

This worked for software written for newer windows like xp but still allowing a legacy mode on older windows versions like 95 and 98. Problem was this also put that same software running on windows 9 into legacy mode. So they called it windows 10 to sidestep the compatibility issues.

You know what, this is on us. Chat GPT is just a prediction engine that tries to say what words it thinks follow a preceding prompt, and it’s looked at millions of examples (written by us) and it’s seen hapless clients and users complain about bugs and be told: “user error, works fine” so often chatGPT just thinks it’s just the culturally accepted polite response to a bug report, in the same way as responding to “thank you” with “you’re welcome”. This is a dark mirror on our profession.

Go? Was the west’s humanity here before?

Conversely I’ll just roast all CoD players, for continuing to play and spend money on a franchise with all the genuine creative vision of a photocopier and all the predatory financial behaviour of an online gambling website.
