This is a regular occurrence and honestly we need to stop recommending dual boot. Use separate drives if you need to, but sharing the same drive is destined to brick something

for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn’t look like GNOME fired her lol.

She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

There’s some decent forks currently so I wouldn’t worry about the technology, but yeah the organisation is probably going to implode and reorg soon

this is probably delightful if you ever get a flu or cold

no more blocked nose :)

this is why we need ar-15s, for the 30 to 50 feral hog Bluetooth notifications

If you want to use Linux without the terminal nowadays it’s pretty easy. But also I think the fear of the terminal is part of the culture that consumer electronics have cultivated where people don’t know (or want to know) how their systems work.

If you take the time to use it, not only can you save yourself time, but also learn a lot more about how you can fix things when they go wrong! That kind of knowledge gives you so much more ownership of your system, because you don’t have to rely on your manufacturer to solve problems for you.

Same for Mac and Windows too, the terminal is something that shouldn’t be necessary, but when it is it helps to know what you’re doing. :)

The trick to writing a JavaScript web app is that first you consider literally any other technology to solve your problem and only then consider using javascript.

Idk where you assumed 4k 120hz HDR from the post?

I’d love to see Godot embeds in flutter. Though I’d also love to use dart for Godot dev but I’m too lazy to help maintain the current very old pubdev package.

reminds me of the infamous NSA backdoor patch blog for Notepad++

There’s already a bunch of distros for lower-end hardware. PuppyLinux is probably what you’re looking for, and it’s actually a genre of distro that takes a typical distro like SUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch etc. and packages it into a slimmer spin with some shared utilities.

in my uni house, the landlord once barrelled in without notice (highly illegal!!) to give us a rug, a new coffee table, and a bunch of crappy canvas wall art.

After we decided to sign for another year, following a few viewings, the landlord barrelled in without notice again to take it all back lmao.

Nothing directly, but hyprland being a Wayland-only compositor means the project has input on protocols and the general direction of the spec, which is done entirely within the Freedesktop infrastructure. All FDO has said is “we dont want your community or your toxic behaviour to be associated with FDO” which is rightfully so considering their commercial and community obligations.

Dont want to run your FOSS project professionally and respectfully towards the multitudes of people who may want to work with you? Then dont get upset when people dont want to work with you out of principle.

Maybe we can’t rely on organisations founded by and for white americans to properly report on the credibility of people who are being bombed by white Americans and their allies.

“bias check” website using Israeli sources to declare mondoweiss a hate group is fucking hilarious. immediately lost itself all credibility.

GTFOH

I know this is being treated as a social engineering attack, but having unreadable binary blobs as part of your build/dev pipeline is fucking insane.

Because languages need to be able to handle the very common edge cases where data sources don’t return complete data.

Adding null coalescing to a null-safe language (like dart) is so much easier to read and infer the risk of handling null than older languages that just panic the moment null is introduced unexpectedly.

Windows requirements: sprawling list of unsupported hardware based on an arbitrary requirment for a security chip that doesn’t actually improve security at all
