State of global menu support under KDE Plasma?
Quiet quitting refers to a phenomenon where employees, particularly in the United States, increasingly prioritize work-life balance over excessive workplace engagement. Instead of going above and beyond their job duties, these employees simply fulfill their basic responsibilities and are often reluctant to work overtime.
I don’t know if there is objective definition on quiet quitting but this one feels off and a little gross to me. You can work your agreed upon hours with no overtime and still do an amazing job. This definition paints folks working full time jobs as slackers because they aren’t doing overtime, which in most cases is going to be free overtime.
This is a good step but I still feel like it's pretty obscure where a package is actually coming from. "by Google" or for the Steam package "by Valve" is really confusing and makes it sounds like it's coming directly from the company. Unverified tells the user to pay attention but there is no hover over to say what it actually means.
Good quote. Here is more of it for context:
Fable was profitable - "highly profitable", Lionhead's Simon Carter told Eurogamer - but in a now too-familiar story, it and its genre was seen by Microsoft as just not profitable enough. "That category is not the biggest category on the planet," said Robbie Bach, who was the President of Entertainment & Devices Division at Microsoft before Don Mattrick assumed the role. "It's not soccer. It's not American Football. It's not a first-person shooter sized category. So at a commercial level, I would say it was successful, but not wildly so."
Wildly successful was what Microsoft was after. A pitch for Fable 4 was rejected. "It was like, you've reached your cap of players for RPG on Xbox and you need to find a way to double that, and you're not going to do it with RPG," Fable's art director John McCormack told Eurogamer at the time. "I thought, yes we can. I said, look, just give us four years, proper finance, give us the chance Mass Effect has, Skyrim has, the games at the time. They're getting four years and a lot of budget. Give us that, and we'll give you something that'll get you your players. Nah, you've had three shots and you've only tripled the money. It's not good enough. Fuck off. That's what I was annoyed about." (Worth noting: Skyrim went on to sell 63m copies, as of June 2023, The Witcher 3 over 50m.)
What handbook?
The same is true for blue states.
If your vote is not important because your state is locked in on a presidential candidate, local issues / candidates are worth voting on. They can have a more direct impact on your day to day.
Out of the loop, what happened to Lemmy.one?
Enjoy that Dead Sea Effect.
Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.
With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.
Are any major Lemmy or Mastodon instances in Fedi Garden?
I was looking through the site and didn't see any instances I recognized but they also nest everything so it takes like 3 clicks to see 2 severs.
Edit: By type looks like the easier way to see the entire list, which is not huge and I don't recognize any of the servers but I will admit I am not a big Mastodon person.
Wait, anti-cheat? Wtf?

Thoughts on Obsidian's Tyranny?
What’s even crazier is that you can also post to Kbin which is a server running completely different software
It was more that older batteries can't handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.
It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn't crash.
This concept would make a good episode.
It’s a really shitty thing to do a growing platform. For the 3rd largest server to defederate a week into the platform growing is going to go a long way to convincing folks this platform isn’t viable. Honestly this may be it for me.
The Beehaw admins are really in love with their ideals but I can’t help but feel like they have effectively kneecapped a new platform.
To give an opposite take, I bought my pocket and haven’t done a damn thing with. It’s a bit of a project to get the firmware and games on it so it’s kind of just sitting there.
More on me than the pocket.
How will they survive such a thorough slamming?
I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.
I think folks are really holding out hope for a 180 from Reddit leadership and I get that, I’ve been on Reddit long enough that I have a relationship and an emotional attachment to the platform.
But there is no sign of a 180 and maybe the worlds better for that as we can create something new.
As someone who bought a Steam Deck this summer, feels bad man
FPGA are also really big, they are close to hardware perfect as we are going to get.
Seems super reasonable to me.
TIL, thanks for sharing
So does Fedora Silverblue for the record.
It is a damn impressive feature to realize you just broke your install and are able to say “no problem”.
Don’t you do it….
I read the original mastodon post by the developer of run0 and I am still don’t understand what the problem with SUID is.
Whats an example of an attack that would work with sudo and doas (which also uses SUID) and not on run0?
It’s not a rumor, spez has talked openly about it.

It’s worse because now other servers federating with you are on hook legally as well.
The law doesn’t make allowances for federated servers. Essential it’s your sever getting the CP in the eyes of the law.
I am your nemesis, I inevitably dirty several containers trying to find the right size.
We can fight when I am done doing the dishes.
Not too far off from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
Pairing exclusively using text messages sounds like a nightmare.
Another interesting fact concerning the ps1 chip, Sony used it as an Io controller so backwards compatibility was essentially built in to the design of the ps2
PlayStation 2 software is distributed on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. In addition, the console can play audio CDs and DVD movies, and is backwards compatible with original PlayStation games. This is accomplished through the inclusion of the original PlayStation's CPU which also serves as the PS2's I/O processor, clocked at 36.864 MHz in PS2 mode.
Howdy, welcome!
What exhausting nonsense

Interesting article from on of the co-founders of StackOverflow.
Keep in mind that Playboy had a reputation as more than just porn. A lot of really respected authors had work published in Playboy.
I not sure of its culture status when the event in question happened, but it would have been different then say, Penthouse.
Devils advocate here, but what makes Ubuntu a great gateway distro nowadays?
When Ubuntu came out it had a graphical installer and UI improvements allowed users to do more without the terminal. I feel like at some point other distros caught up and Unity was the unique selling point. Then canonical became more focused on the server and killed Unity. I am not sure what is the selling point of Ubuntu as a desktop in 2024.
This all comes from my personal experience of Ubuntu being my main distro for 10+ years. But when I started distro hoping I realized there wasn’t much difference between Ubuntu and other distros nowadays.
You know, I am fine with it. One of the reasons I am using Tumbleweed is for the additional testing they do, so if they aren’t cool with shipping it yet I can wait.
After trying out Nix as a package manager I realized I have a pretty different world view than the makers of Nix. I agree with the end goal but how they are trying achieve it is just alien to me. The nix command line is just downright user hostile.
I am personally hoping that someone else takes a stab at the Nix concept but have accepted Nix isn’t for me.
Great detailed answer. One pedantic nitpick is the Apple typically supports Macs longer then 5-6 years, with the operating system getting security patches for a few years after the last one was released.
Their support cycle has been shorter lately because they seem pretty hell bent on phasing out Intel Macs.
Refactoring is something that should be constantly done in a code base, for every story. As soon as people get scared about changing things the codebase is on the road to being legacy.
