Single digit temperatures. One can always wear more clothing to keep warm, but can only get so naked in triple digit heat before dying from exhaustion or dehydration.

Yeah, Readarr is very awkward to use, but still sad to see going away. If the main problem is just a usable metadata server, maybe someone can save the project without much trouble.

Lidarr is similarly strange with it’s focus on artists and albums only, and apparently refusing to implement song search.

I feel like the developers of these two projects don’t actually use their own software to encounter the huge pain points, but maybe they have a use case that I don’t understand.

Your website is refreshingly simple and also manages to be unique looking. I like it!

I have been dating non monogamously for something like 15 years now. It’s not without it’s unique challenges, but most of the problems people have with polyamory are actually problems they have with monogamy as well, it’s just easier to avoid dealing with certain things (like relationship insecurity) when monogamy allows people to pretend they aren’t happening or to lionize expressing them negatively (as jealousy, for example).

In my opinion, even if you decide it’s not for you, exploring non monogamy is very likely going to give you better tools and healthier perspectives than you’d have if you remained “safely” monogamous your entire life.

Yeah the wording in the picture makes it sound like cats aren’t supposed to be behind the door, because they can’t get out. The implication being that I should open the door to let them out.

Boards as in breadboards, I guess. That title assumes the reader will have a certain context.

I got excited thinking it was about managing board activity for nonprofits formed by developers.

Still, seems like a nice tool for people who do breadboarding!

I do this so much by accident in desktop mode on the Steamdeck with a Steam controller. I dunno why big picture mode is apparently bound to pressing the Steam button on the controller (not every time, just sometimes!), but why is it even bound to anything when I’ve just switched intentionally to desktop mode? Why would I switch away from gaming mode just to enable big picture? What’s the use case that they’re catering to here by making it so easy to accidentally be in this situation?

Anyhow, pretty amazing that this minor annoyance is almost the only thing to complain about with my Steamdeck experience. Best gaming console I’ve ever had.

OBS could do that, I suppose. Add a screen capture source, and place a color source behind it sized 10px larger than the screen capture rect. Hit record.

right click menu icons

I think they might be referring to icons next to menu items in the right click menu.

I think those icons can be handy sometimes, but I find them to be massively overused in KDE especially, to the point that it feels visually overwhelming sometimes. Having zero icons at all in GNOME might be the other extreme, but I appreciate how clean it looks.

Blender using icons strategically to visually group related items is probably the best of both worlds.

Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don’t think I’ve run across that so much as the “everything ever made must be rewritten in rust” crowd, and then everyone else who doesn’t much care what language is used as long as it works.

Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.

Possibly using yt-dlp or one of the dozens of frontends for it. I don’t know if it works for YouTube Music, but it’s free and easy to use, so you might as well give it a shot.

We went ahead and disabled the X11 session by default and from now on it needs to be explicitly enabled when building the affected modules. (gnome-session, GDM, mutter/gnome-shell).

Aside from a simple flag change and a recompile before Canonical adds the packages to their repo, it doesn’t sound like this will affect Ubuntu at all. They probably already do this anyway to add their own little patches.

The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.

GNOME 50 is when Canonical will truly need to either move to Wayland or do something else.

Seems fairly reasonable of a timeline from the GNOME team, IMO.

It’s not defeatism

that’s how the system works

So, it’s not defeatism, you’re just arguing for maintaining the status quo? If that’s not defeatism in the face of a system that is mass arresting people, then what is it? What exactly is your point?

Edit: ah, just noticed that you are a moderator of [email protected]. Maybe you really do want to uphold the status quo of Trump’s directives.

There absolutely are great people and geniuses in every generation. There always will be, since both terms are relative comparisons to contemporaries.

Great people and geniuses tend not to be the sort of people who are drawn to exploiting others for profit or political power, so you can mostly safely assume anyone who is a billionaire or a career politician is neither great nor genius.

The public out there on the streets of LA this weekend are certainly doing substantial things. Why the defeatism? Go join them and help.

People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.

Even the linked article whines about how they don’t want to use Peertube because “the audience for the content is 100x smaller” but that’s at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren’t going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don’t post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.

There’s not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.

Unfortunately, all the calendar solutions seem to be pretty terrible in one way or another. Your NextCloud server along with DAVx⁵ on Android is the most functional private alternative, IMO.

The setup still sometimes has some of the same issues that all calendars seem to have (even Google’s and Apple’s): occasional sync issues, or old deleted appointments that mysteriously show up again, or calendars duplicating themselves.

I don’t know why calendaring seems to be one of those things that just never really got done well, it seems like it should be a solved problem by now.

I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.
