Earth is like a giant nut.

The dehumanizing attitude of the comments here sucks. Don’t be like them.

A lot of web software does this (Github and Gmail for example). I like it but always thought it could be abused.

Is this person suggesting that the landlord work enough to make up for the amount that it costs to house and provide for their tenants?

They phrased it in patronizing terms which is sure to get some upvotes or likes or whatever but when you think about it for more than a few seconds it doesn’t make any sense.

Couldn’t this always be done by the developer using their own CSS via GtkCssProvider?

This write-up feels a little too politically biased. But aside from that, it does seem like a disproportional use of funds for an organization that makes millions and whose primary goal is Linux. It would be nice to see a better breakdown of funding.

Grub going down the right column. I also see df and wc in there! Never thought of doing this but I will from now on. Fun! Thanks OP!

Fish is my favorite. I can barely do without it. Only downside is some bash commands don’t work on it without modification.

But I’m also having a ton of fun right now with xonsh which lets you use python and bash together.

I’m definitely pro science but we can’t ignore that sometimes simply “it’s science” is used to propogandize. It’s like the way “this bill is to protect children” is used (this one is used a lot for more control over technology, backdoors, etc). It’s impossible to argue against that without being ridiculed and shamed, even if the method or desired result doesn’t make sense or is antithetical to the claim.

Science, used vaguely, can be misrepresented, used to create logical fallicies, etc. We equivocate just the word science with truth and reality and that can be taken advantage of.

So science isn’t leftist propaganda, but science and the claim of science can be used as propaganda, just like anything else.

Czkawka is a rewrite/improved version of FSlint written in Rust. It finds duplicate, broken, and excess files. And it can compare images and videos to find similar media. It uses Gtk (and Glade).

Edit: Oh, and RedoxOS is an entire GUI OS written in rust.

Sorry, I don’t personally have any experience programming Rust. But both of the projects I listed have pretty rapid development so I can’t imagine it’s insanely difficult. Then again maybe the devs are just coding geniuses. The guy that does Redox also works for System76 and a lot of their software is written in Rust.

Funny how quickly something can move from “Dangerous” or “Detached From Reality” to “Actually Happened.”

Yep, it’s on F-Droid! And Gitlab under GPL3.

I downvote myself (or at least un-upvote myself) sometimes for a few reasons.

One, if I’ve made a mistake or been persuaded by another’s response.

Two, if I see another response that is better or more important than mine and I think theirs should be above mine (or mine below).

Stealth is another really nice Android client that is account-free for those who don’t want an account or to login but still want to subscribe and save posts locally.

With his setup, I’m amazed that anything is working at all. It’s impressive that it’s working as well as it is.

And yeah, the false expectations part. It’s a pitfall for most people. It would actually be really interesting to watch someone who only grew up using Linux try and switch to Windows. I wonder how much more or less confusing it would be to them. That would be a good way to compare what is a true problem and what is just expectations. Windows has tons of quirks and bad design that people have normalized and learned to live with and have become non issues.

Yeah. An influencer of Austrian Economics.

He would consider taking from the person with much and giving to the person with little plunder.

Though to be fair he’d probably consider the corporatocracy that creates (or worsens) what is shown in the image to also be plunder.

But he would be against undoing one plunder with another plunder. So while he’d likely morally be for society and individuals fixing what is seen in the picture, he would not be for government doing it (or anyone doing it by force).

That’s exactly why they’re doing it. To “protect the brands”. Brands don’t want bad press or for others to know that people are mad at them.

Brands include media and governments. Not only does it hide bad press and community consensus, it helps them control what the public sees and believes. It also further hides any sort of manipulation they’d like to do (either with vote counts, or with the recommendation algorithms).

It’s ok, now we can just rely on Google/YouTube to let us know what is or isn’t misinformation!

Stoned. Usually.

Purely conspiracy theory here, but this comes just after the reveal that the FBI tried to get user info. Maybe the FBI weren’t happy with the lack of records Signal were keeping and this is a compromise. We have seen this sort of thing before. Gov wants info, an extra closed layer is created. If it’s not this, the timing is unfortunate.

Anyway, the blog post is very vague. In all those paragraphs they don’t even mention how this new implementation works. Just that the way it works now isn’t enough. Maybe the interfaces they mention becoming public will help understand it better, but of course the code is closed and unreleased so we’ll never really know.
