I feel you. I want children but agreed with myself long ago that they will be adopted because I don’t want to bring children onto this dying planet.

My country (the Netherlands) is going to be majorly flooded within the next 100 years (but probably sooner) but the majority of buildings built to stop the housing crisis are still build under sea level in the major cities.

People think they’re not climate change deniers but 95% of them most definitely are.

Very pessimistic. Besides the current problems like wars and Trump becoming the next president of the USA (which as a European citizen really scares me), climate change is going to fuck over human scociety big time in my life time. Well, it already is but still humanity as a whole is doing jack shit about it. Giant oil companies keep digging for new oil and gas, the best selling cars are unnecessarily huge SUV’s, planes are still being subsidized rather than trains, humanity keeps eating meat, plastic usage and production is barely going down.

The current problems the news is full about don’t really matter in the long run when we’re literally making our planet unliveable and humanity is clearly still denying it.

This seems like an American problem. This used to be the case in the Netherlands as well but over the years people have learned that SIM-only subscriptions are so much easier and cheaper that the majority of people now use SIM-only. In fact I know of no one around me that does it differently.

Also $45 per month is still expensive lol. I pay €12 a month. Sure, not unlimited but I never call or SMS so the 100 a month I get for that is way more than enough and I never finish the 10GB of data a month either. I can make either unlimited for really not that much more.

Oh my god, that parking lot is 2 times the size of the actual park itself. How can anyone look at that and think “yes, this is good”?

Strange that some apps allow configuring it rather than just doing it automatically…

Yes

Merkuro is built on Akonadi, so in that sense there will be no change.

Not next release, the one after. And even then probably not by default yet. And SXMO will not even support systemd at all. Yes OpenRC will remain an option.

systemd is good software and people should find proper reasons for disliking it for once instead of just following the hate train.

Ha, these are amazing.

Although I suppose I now get why this Heathcliff thing is posted, every day is a lot. Although of course subjective, the majority aren’t funny and after a while we get the message.

When you @ to kde@linux.kde.social in your post it will post it in this community. It seems communities are also accounts on the fediverse, kinda nifty really.

I don’t get the point of removing that character from these comics

RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. They still look as good as the day they were released, while RCT3 looks terrible now.

What a weird name for such a distro though… I thought this was meant for usage on boats or something.

Kotlin isn’t the problem, missing the various Android API’s is.

In fact, I’m pretty sure free refills is only an American thing. And that kind of culture is the biggest cause of obesitas. McDonalds definitely isn’t healthy in Europe either, but at least we don’t have it as bad as it could be 😅

You literally typed this in a KDE community, how do you fail to know what Plasma is?

No they didn’t. It literally got an update this week (3.22). Laying off part of the team (which is worrying) is not the same as actually killing it.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, I just haven’t tried it yet. I don’t actually know if it has the hardware for it.

Not on this device but I have on a PinePhone before, works just fine. Ideally it would use the desktop shell on the external monitor though, that sadly doesn’t happen yet (but is planned for the future).

I mean, not being able to delete some files because they’re read-only and what not doesn’t mean it’s less open. You can’t do that on an immutable distribution either but I definitely still consider them “open”.

At postmarketOS we’re planning to also offer an immutable option in the future. We’ll always keep a mutable option around for people that want it but by default we’ll ship the immutable variant to our users because we can guarantee stability and safe updates way more. Then you won’t be able to just delete system files either.
