One half of the dudes that do the Linux User Space audio/video podcast.

I’m all for bashing Tesla. It’s good fun. But this applies to all EVs and lithium ion batteries that came into contact with salt water.

Bad TechSpot! Bad!

I wonder if a laptop would blow up, too. Probably, right?

The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

*taps forehead*

You can blame a cat or dog approximately once per 5 years of employment. Nice save!

Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷

And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?

Not that I disagree much, but... what a world we live in where Meta is the lesser of two evils...

tl;dr If you just let me break laws and violate human decency, we'd all be so rich flying around in space doing whatever we want all the time! C'monnnn. Pleeeease?

Amateur. Always use Times New Roman.

On a serious note, it sounds like a transition to fonts that better support scaled 4K and up monitors.

The confusion on pronunciation alone would have been worth it!

There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.

This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.

CentOS hasn't said anything since Red Hat's move to derail the clones. Feels a little "say something about openness to say something about openness!"

We need a way to mirror Discord to the web so it can be searched.

Just dropping by to say “thanks”

So, thanks for putting in the work. I know it isn’t easy. And can easily be overlooked. ❤️

Sounds like you may be on iOS, and while it’s no music app, Memmy. Licensed AGPL3. It’s the app I’m using to send this message :)

I would HOPE the Vivaldi devs working on vivaldi.social get paid. That's a lot of pressure.

Those folks do good work, so:

Buy some junk!

or Donate time or money!

Good find. Relevant bit:

Hi all (CEO & Founder, DuckDuckGo here). Looks like something may have broken in a release that went out today -- it is triggering a JS error. We're looking into it now and should have it resolved soon.

According to the Ubuntu bulletin, a simple update is sufficient.

The Wiz announcement didn't really go into specifics, so not sure other than normal user auditing.

I’d love to know the “why” behind this bug. Assuming it’s not actually a feature!

You have 64GB RAM and that's still not enough for your browser. Wow.

I've come away from this with only more questions. What does your Downloads folder/Filesystem look like? Do you have notebooks or any real world allocation of information? What's that like? What kinds of things do you keep in a junk drawer?

Absolutely fascinating.

Well when you put it that way. Fuck yeah. I agree.

I thought about this… Not sure how I feel about it though lol

AntennaPod is the best out there on Android imo.

Agreed on the name.

As for the others, I’m a fan of Tenorite. Squattier than the rest, but it has the most “character

No worries!

A friend uses Android. His pick was Jerboa for the same purpose. Also FOSS under AGPL3.

I'm really liking Memmy a lot so far, but thanks for the Voyager tip. It's always good to have backups.

🍻

Amarok and Oxygen. Yes. 😔

I set browser.uidensity to 1 and it’s never changed across updates.

It’ll go away one day, but for now it works.

Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?

Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I'm utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.

Looks like you can choose the upgrade in the Update Manager now!

I'm running more Debian since 12 was released, so yeah. Can't wait for the new LMDE!

FreshRSS here, too. Tech, State and local news all nicely sorted where I can firehose it or just see small sections.

Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.

"Search in all tabs" would be so awesome. I don't do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I'm flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it's always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.

I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it's clearly a use case.

For some reason, browse.feddit.de only caches our Episodes community, but lemmyverse.net caches our entire instance. 🤔

I think I got it figured out. Spacing! And the two services look for different things.

That’s an audible “yuck” from me, man. Well done!

I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven't once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.

Everything else seems good as I haven't really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.

If you can do everything with Docker/Docker Compose, you free yourself from worrying about the underlying system. Docker becomes what you need to learn, and the worst part of a Linux setup is just getting Docker installed and updated.

Ubuntu would be my Linux pick, though. Long support, paid support if necessary, and a very large community.

You might be right. Windows at 150% scaling has the fonts looking pretty ok… 🤔

Nothing. Apply Hanlon to the very original response to Vultr. It all works out.

It’s Hanlon all the way down.
