No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though

Aren’t these three distros mirrors of each other, for a lack of a better expression? I remember reading that one of them was started as a clone of CentOS, bugs included

Doing the best for which use-case? The answers will be fundamentally different depending on the situation

Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.

I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.

They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist

I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it’s always those “young people” ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40’s. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.

The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don’t pay anything, through loopholes and theft

The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know

Everyone but Canonical already dropped any support for Mir in early 2010’s

Congrats to the devs. Biome is awesome, and it’s been a pleasure to use it

It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about

A lot of really bizarre choices there.

With MauiKit essentially depending on KDE frameworks, abandoning Plasma 6 is a nail in the coffin.

I was never a huge fan of the NX design philosophy, because it felt quite disjointed, and not very well suited for neither mobile screens, nor larger ones, with how tiny yet spaced between everything is, but at the same time, variety is a good thing for people who did like it.

That being said, without first-party MauiKit support, Nitrux has no real benefits to offer, so it’s unclear what their plan is going forward

At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense

Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.

That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon

Was this not already common sense?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that they should just say okay, installing instagram from a Limewire download is the intended path now.

Using AUR or Nixpkgs to install your stuff is perfectly acceptable to me, for these exact reasons. You have a choice, you’re choosing your preference, and at the end of the day you get a vetted source from a trusted repository.

Choice is what matters to people, and it’s being taken away from them. But even beyond that, if i wanted to install an “unsupported/untrusted” app on my device, that should fully be my choice

I still hate the term “sideloading”, when used in this context. You don’t “sideload” anything on your computer. You just install things, from wherever you damn desire.

They only started using the term here, to gaslight people into thinking that installing mobile apps from sources, other than the ones that give Apple money, is somehow insecure

I use Nix on my M1 Pro machine, and it’s by far my favorite laptop yet. The company and their business practices absolutely do suck though.

That said, there is certainly a middle ground for software there. I hate windows as much as the next guy, but macOS is at least Unix-adjacent, so it’s not a complete pain

Mass layoffs suck. Yet again it’s corporate mismanagement, at best.

But in all seriousness, what was even their role there? It’s a glorified social media platform with an occasional job application. They cant possibly need that many people

A Deck will likely be a better purchase for you. Shared library, more sales too. The Cities Skylines situation you’ve described would have been enough to make that decision for me

Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything

I love OSS but I won’t sacrifice my experience just to go fully libre. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. I’m glad it’s an option for people who do want that though

I’ll believe it, when I see it.

For the past 8 years they’ve been saying he “may” do this, or he “may” get punished for that, and everyone twiddled their thumbs until morons elected him into office again, making it all impossible again
