1. Just download what you want to use? You can use the old app if you want to.
2. Papers is great. If you wanted the old app to stay, maybe you should’ve helped maintain it and do the Libadwaita port?
3. If you don’t use Gnome anyway, which you decided to bring up for some reason, why do you care?

Feels like you just want to moan about work that other people are putting a lot of effort into and providing for free.

I think this is a sane choice for now, but this really should be a warning shot to the likes of Valve (to be clear, Valve is great for Linux overall, and I’m extremely appreciative of that), that 32-bit needs to go, and Valve cannot expect every single distro out there to maintain 32-bit support forever just for them.

Sooner or later they’re going to have to bundle a 32-to-64-bit translation layer, like they’re already doing with Proton, and also with their x86-to-ARM stuff they’re working on.

These maintainers are spending their own time and often money expecting nothing in return. If they don’t want to continue supporting 32-bit, they are fully within their right to do so.

I understand the fear of having to move distro, but some of the hate I’ve seen levied towards the Fedora maintainers over this is really vile. They don’t owe you a damn thing.

Considering they’re an enterprise player, and so well-known, that actually seems surprisingly low to me, especially since that’s revenue not profit.

FFS, what is with this toxicity?

They aren’t bad choices. They are choices that you don’t like, but plenty of others do.

It sort of feels like an Apple product, in that sense. Very well-made, but god forbid you don’t want to do things exactly as they say you should

No it doesn’t, because Gnome is completely customisable, and the devs encourage that through the extensions platform.

If you don’t like Gnome, that’s ok. You don’t need to moan about it online and say it’s shit. I don’t like mushrooms. I don’t moan about it, I don’t say meals are bad for including them, and I don’t tell people they’re wrong for liking them.

You can disable version checking and have them run if you want to, although that’s probably not advisable.

They were vertical during all of Gnome 3, then changed to horizontal.

Don’t you fucking dare

Great news.

What? The last major change to the gnome workflow was going from vertical to horizontal workspaces, and that was several years ago.

Gnome programs, and Gnome itself, is pretty great.

You don’t have to shit on a project just because you don’t use their stuff or like something else.

I’m glad they’re bringing some posts that are also on .ml to here. It’s an incredibly toxic instance with mods/admins that will harass and ban people a shitload, particularly if they’re not aggressively pro-tankie.

I received a 12 month ban across all of lemmy.ml for saying it’s probably a wise thing that sanctioned, state-affiliated Russian companies aren’t allowed employees in maintainer roles for the Linux kernel. The mods there are fucking psychos.

Decentralisation is one of the good parts of Lemmy. I like that I can opt out of lemmy.ml idiocy without entirety alienating myself.

Doesn’t it say in ENT that the transporter had only just been approved for transfer of biological matter?

Seems very normal for him to be sceptical of it, given that. Especially for transporting his own crew, for whom he is responsible for their safety.

I imagine he really didn’t want to tell families that he told [crew mate] to use the transporter and it killed them in some gruesome way, or to have that memory torturing him at night.

And it’s not like he wasn’t vindicated, either. Weren’t there multiple instances of transporter incidents in ENT?

I swear some people want Linux to be exactly how it was in 2003, forever.

They listed Flatpaks first, then Snaps second.

I imagine they did it to avoid listing 10 different packaging formats, only to have comments saying “omg you forgot about XYZ package type”

I don’t like Snaps either, but it’s undeniable there’s a lot of Ubuntu users out there, and most of them use Snaps.

True. The best laptops are the ones that let you set a charge limit in the BIOS.

For what it’s worth, though, the exact same happens to UPSes

Tbh, I like the explanation that they genetically engineered it into that ‘design’ of Vorta, but not others.

We know the Founders are seen as gods to the Jem Hadar (not just to Vorta), and yet the Founders still chose to make them reliant on ketracel white, just in case they overcame that ‘programming’ and rebelled.

Seems completely logical that they’d also limit the Vorta’s abilities in order to more easily curtail any future uprising too. Giving them all the ability to fire energy blasts could be something the Founders regretted later on.

It’s also true that the Federation’s first meeting with the Vorta was all orchestrated. It’s possible the energy blast is something they purposely show off during first contact to other powers, to act as a show of force to them.

As for plot lines that went nowhere in DS9, does anybody remember that there was initially a rift between Jem Hadar created in the Gamma Quadrant and those created in the Alpha Quadrant? It was shown in that episode where the defiant shrunk, but then was never mentioned again. They were clearly gearing up for a civil war plotline, but it never came to be.

If you only need a basic server, laptops are AMAZING.

• Full x86 software support
• On the rare occurrence you need to directly interface with it (as opposed to through a webgui on another machine) you have a built-in keyboard and monitor.
• They have a god-damned built-in UPS

I’ve been using Wayland since 2018 and not had any issues aside from when I briefly tested with an Nvidia card.

Wayland is more than ready for 99% of people, and has been for a while. Whenever I use Xorg it feels janky.

E: I also had issues with screen sharing, actually. I forgot about that because I rarely have to do it.

While this is true, it’s absurd to think that IBM in the 1930s/1940s is anything like IBM or RedHat (which btw is ran completely independently from IBM) now.

Based on this line of thinking, all German companies that have existed since that time are Nazi. Ford is nazi. Etc.

The leadership of IBM, and even moreso RedHat is completely different in 2025 than during/preceding WW2.

I’m an opensource and free from corporate shit software lover. Try to avoid everything related to corpo (Redhat, Ubuntu…)

RedHat contributes more to the Linux desktop than anybody. It is impossible to avoid their work, they do so much.
