Gnome 46? And they won’t update it for at least another year?

Jeez, we’re almost at Gnome 50…

It’s also unclear if they’re comparing it to the cost of the index with or without the Lighthouses.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

• Laptop OEMs seem to go with fingerprint readers that have no Linux support.

• A number of distros out of the box have some IMO dumb things you need to change.

E.g. Fedora insisting on having their own Flatpak repository that isn’t as well-stocked or updated as Flathub, and missing audio/video codecs (I realise this is due to licensing concerns, but other distros get around it).

• I’d like Linux to feel more like an ecosystem. If I could sync my DE’s settings, installed apps, etc as trivially as I can sync my Firefox bookmarks/settings/extensions then I’d be happy. Frankly I’m amazed that Gnome and KDE haven’t attempted this.

Yes, I know I can manually and painstakingly do a lot of this with Syncthing. It’s not the same. It’s a lot more time/effort and you need the knowledge to set it up.

Yes. Well, now that I understand yours (phenomenally low), we’ll have to agree to disagree.

It’s tragic how stupid you are. Tut tut.

Because it’s more testing, more work, more resources spent, all for something that package maintainers will usually do for free anyway.

They’re reporting X’s stated numbers…

If you actually believe Elon’s stated user numbers then I have a bridge to sell you.

It’s a platform infested with bots.

Very few people use X. It’s not really a platform that your average person has.

Regardless, governments should be retaliating strongly to this.

I don’t really see what monarchies have to do with what’s being discussed

It doesn’t have to be the death of NATO, provided the US leaves it.

If they don’t, though, yeah, probably the end of NATO. There’s no mechanism for revoking a member’s membership.

Lemmy’s Tankie infestation is probably the worst thing about this platform.

Ah, the “you also participate in society” line.

I guess nobody should ever make any moral stand, ever, because living in the 21st century means you’ve indirectly supported evil by default.

Nobody mentioned child labour.

Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

That’s probably because you’re a piece of shit.

Lemmy copying Reddit with the downvotes system is something that really frustrates me.

The downvote button is one of the most toxic things about Reddit. Nobody uses it the way it is supposedly intended to be used.

Lemmy saw that and thought great, let’s copy.

I don’t know whether they did it because they wanted to make a straight up Reddit clone, or whether they mistakenly thought Lemmy users would be above that kind of behaviour (lol), but either way it was a mistake IMO. It just encourages division.

Are you serious? Of course people should care if people are using their power and influence to strip certain people of their rights.

I don’t know how you could possibly look at Gnome and think they’re trying to be the same as every other OS.

They’re seemingly the only one with the balls to move away from the WinUX way of doing things.

One dev without any go-ahead from Gnome did.

And let’s not forget System76 employees, as well as System76 themselves, have done the exact same thing.

I’ve been using Wayland for years (2019), and I’ve not had any problems aside from Discord screen sharing, which was fixed a while back.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

Whenever I’ve used X11 since, it’s felt janky and not smooth. Random bugs, tearing, issues with multi monitor, issues with trackpads, etc.
