You can go with your wife, you know?

5 years??? You change cars every 5 years?

Why?

Ploum makes a very interesting point on his blog: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

They talk about examples like Google Chat being XMPP, becoming very big, changing the standards that look like other XMPP users/clients are subpar and then killing "federation" but no one complains because everyone uses their product, so it's not a big disruption.

While I don't think this is it, because Facebook is huge and ActivityPub isn't (XMPP was the most used protocol then), this happened and can't be ignored.

I thought it was too smooth and the rearview mirror on the third image proved it. What are you doing there??? 😂

If it's music, it's on Soulseek!

Option 2. It's the most robust. You'll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it's available in all platforms, including web. I've been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

Budgie is very much not KDE.

I can't do online shopping without accepting a notification on my bank's app. That's not "social media and chat apps".

To a "newbie", what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?

It is still true, at least in Europe. I mean, they're not actually trying to destroy your life, you know, but they're after the company's best interests. They might help you, and might make things not the worst they possibly can, because that'll give a bad rep, but they're not your friend.

I guess this is the succinct version of the other replies. You're getting downvotes but I like it anyway :)

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the answer!

Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it's tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can't seem to install Kinoite without "formatting" the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

This happened to me with Jerboa, but it's a bug. Open your instance on the browser and click Subscribed to make sure it's working. They should show the same posts

Hear me out. Go to the BIOS. Swap Left Ctrl and FN! Thanks me later :)

I'm pretty sure Gaia Maps uses the info on OSM

This is everything I was looking for, thank you so much!

what makes you think you won’t?

I'm not sure, I think the emphasis on news about distro update around the web. It makes me confused as to what's so important about that, but I now understand perfectly. I thought it worked a bit more like a rolling distro and I now understand what a rolling distro is :)

Even better, for you, and for the planet, is to buy second hand.

Unlike the Vulcans, who helped human progress!

For me, 10 of 37 and counting :)

What did that mean? How does that work?

It was a joke, man.

This is a great 101, thanks!

I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I'll lick them. I don't recommend it, but I do it.

She's a pain but she's also part of the family. I think it makes s very good point to make her like that and to have us bear her.

Well I'm not a huge gamer, specially since I have a kid, but I was expecting GTA with horses, but I'm enjoying it a lot (I don't really like GTA) anh I had not played this game, since I never had a console, but it came out for switch and I went for it. I'm not going to try to sell it to you. The no-map immersion is a big factor, I guess, which is new for me!

What issues are you having with BT? I recently bought a second hand T490 and Fedora with KDE has been great! I have not extensively used BT, but I always use a BT keyboard and it has been fine :)

Thanks for the info!

You read a book in two hours?

+1 for "pride is the complete absence of shame"

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and I'm enjoying it a lot. I've decided to play without the on-screen map and it does wonders for immersion, recognizing areas, locations, where people are, etc. I highly recommend it!

Eddie knows

Yes, web apps, yes. But to confirm online payments you usually need the app. That's true at least of N26.

Out of curiosity, which one did you stick with?

I didn't mean a second hand Fairphone, I mean a second hand whatever phone.

May be. I have no idea.

So Red Hat benefits from the Fedora Project?

Is Fedora "bad" for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don't game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

[offtopic] Where are you from, OP? Is it Eastern Europe? I don't think you're French, because you would have used « and ». But you used „ and ”. Come, tell me, is is Switzerland? Bulgaria? Russia? :)
