T-Mobile is awaiting regulatory approval to acquire Mint and has otherwise reached an agreement to do so.

People like you are why the Linux community is viewed as being toxic.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an actually great game now. Always had the potential to be one, but the devs fucked it up. But at the core, it was still a good game. And then the devs dedicated the time needed to make it actually great. If Starfield becomes the same in a couple of years, what's wrong with picking it up then? Just don't pick it up right now.

Yes, Linux is mostly just a bunch of passionate people

What is especially good about Betterbird in your opinion?

Linux is a cult with an exit, apple is a cult that most don't acknowledge as a cult and there's no real exit

So we're just going to ignore stuff like Electron, unoptimized assets, etc... Basically every other known problem... Yeah let's just ignore all that

Yes, it really is that bad. 350 MBs of RAM for something that could otherwise have taken less than 100? That isn't bad to you? And also, it's not just RAM. It's every resource, including CPU, which is especially bad with Electron.

I don't really mind Electron myself because I have enough resources. But pretending the lack of optimization isn't a real problem is just not right.

They're rewriting their mobile apps to make it possible

Still no site isolation right?

What vegan is out there calling non-vegans rapists?

I've been told that before. Not being vegan implies you support terrible breeding practices which makes you a rapist... apparently... Which is especially dumb considering nobody likes the terrible breeding practices to begin with

Just disable them. It's not like unused code paths consume resources usually.

They don't seem to check if a user has adblock and pays.

They definitely seem to have checks in place for it. I have Family Premium and so far no issues at all.

Edit: to clarify, not a fan of any of this. Just saying it does work for me

If you're not using a venv for python development, that's kind of on you

They didn't just quadruple. They're orders of magnitude higher these days. So content is a real thing.

But that's not what's actually being discussed here, memory usage these days is much more of a problem caused by bad practices rather than just content.

Yes, i didn't mean the devs literally. I just meant cdpr.

CPU usage is famously terrible with Electron, which i also pointed out in the comment you're replying to. But yes, having multiple chromium instances running for each "app" is terrible

It's a major switch in style but I've really been enjoying Niagara

Not really true for video games. Plenty of popular games still with uncracked denuvo...

Nothing you're saying makes sense in the context of the comment you're replying to.

There are LN writers who switch between their phone and their laptops.

Most of systemd stuff is decoupled well. You don't need to use networkd to make use of resolved for example.

I'd trust them over myself to understand stuff like that.

Too many.

Sounds delicious

Crates aren't exactly runtime dependencies, so i think that's fine as long as the 1500+ dependencies actually help prevent reinventing the wheel 1500+ times

I get what you're trying to do here but the thing is, bluetooth and nvidia are terrible on every platform tbh... At the very least, nvidia laptops on Windows for my friends haven't been as stable as my AMD laptop on Arch has been for me. I hear nvidia on desktop is solid, so that might be the issue here though. Which also reminds me, nvidia on Linux isn't really an issue anymore, they work as well as their windows counterpart basically and nearly every distro makes them really easy to install.

And Bluetooth on Linux right now is just as terrible as on Windows, which is to say, it works pretty well.

You'd have enough control over the software that you can ensure nothing like this happens

Pebble is still going pretty well though, so I don't know if that's a good comparison

Women are looking gorgeous and elegant and beautiful and elegant and beautiful and elegant and beautiful and elegant and beautiful and elegant and beautiful and elegant and beautiful....

May I ask why?

Why not just use Aegis with a remote backup?

Source: extremely common knowledge and the stranglehold that Google has on webdev

... Okay?

They're not actually good points at all... Proton's open sourcing of the clients is for the purpose of trust in terms of security and privacy. The backend doesn't matter because the point is that the data is encrypted before it ever gets to the backend. The goal with Proton's open sourcing is not the ability to make it self-hostable. Sure, a lot of concerns are valid, but this isn't like Microsoft or Google. Nearly all of Proton is verifiably and provably secure. Well, at least as long as you trust the web clients being served are the ones whose code is publicly available. But again... You can't verify that with any SaaS. Such a risk is even present with self-hosting tbh. But that's another discussion.

Given Microsoft's track record, it's also not hard to believe, which makes it even worse

Better software support? How long is it now?

To anyone still singing the "installation too hard" argument... Archinstall is so cool now.. The defaults are just so friggin sane and systemd-boot with UKI as the boot setup is really cool to just be able to choose in an installer. The partitioner is also so easy to use... Most pleasant experience with a Linux installer in recent years. Yes, I'm talking about Arch.

All that said, I love Tumbleweed. They're also working on providing systemd-boot and it was nice when I tried it. And the one thing that i haven't seen anybody else implement in a comparable manner is Snapshots. Gotta love it.

Not free but definitely wonderful

Tumbleweed KDE is definitely sweet. Can also recommend Fedora.
