But even with an immutable distro you don't have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don't specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.

I appreciate the thought that went into this decision and I think this is an example of defederating being a good idea.

I would love to see Apple go down the route of actually supporting modern OpenGL and Vulkan on their hardware. The hardware is amazing but forcing software to rely on Metal just holding it back especially when it comes to games.

I can only recommend you to look into using Flatpak to install graphical applications. It avoids the whole dependency or permission issues because it ships apps in their own well tested little sandbox. From a end user perspective its somewhat similar to how applications are bundled on macOS.

None of the big VPN companies officially endorse use if their services for piracy or any illegal activities for that matter.

But to crack down on it they would have to keep logs on your activity and with that most of their legitimate use cases wouldn't be valid anymore either.

I'd argue it's implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.

Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I'm really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

The health related reasons others gave are interesting, but my reasoning is this pretty simple: On normal weekdays I don't really have breakfast, so brushing my teeth as one if the first things makes sense. On weekends I like to have breakfast with my family so I'd like to get rid of morning breath before I talk to people.

A pretty good Lemmy client for iOS is Memmy. That being said Christian Selig (the dev of Apollo for Reddit) is working on his Next Big Thing™. Fingers crossed for that being Apollo for Lemmy.

Closest I could find is this mug and of course it's on Etsy.

This is amazing! Honestly a no brainer feature. Having to create an account just to contribute on one project's instance is not a great experience currently and the reason I mainly stick to Github.

Firefox Relay is the best platform agnostic option in my opinion. It's free to use for the basic variant and with Relay Premium you support Mozilla and can use custom domains as well.

I personally use Bitwarden for my 2FA needs. As others mentioned you can self host the server but personally I have no reason not to trust their SaaS solution, especially now that they offer EU hosted servers. If all you want is a basic authenticator app that does only one thing give FreeOTP a try, it's made my RedHat. You can then sync the applications state.

Maybe a good middle ground would be an user that upvotes. That would include all the lurkers, that contribute by upvoting/downvoting.

SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/

At least Brave forks Chromium and they have a bunch of patches they apply to the codebase. I mean yeah, they still contribute to the Chromium monopoly but calling them just a rebrand is a bit unfair in my opinion

That's the thing. I get that people using the service on a third party client and not seeing ads is hurting their bottom line as they use bandwidth and not make money. But just banning them outright is a shit move. Ideally they would've made it part of Reddit Premium to make that a bit more worthwhile.

Exactly. Trying to install the latest version of a bunch of apps on a base like Debian is bound to give you dependency issues if you try to install the native version.

Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It's very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.

I have the big LTT Store water bottle ever since it came out, so roughly two years ago? I replaced the lid once (not because it was broken but because i like the new one more) and it's holding up great.

Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.

Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.

Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.

I fail to see how that's a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won't drive the average user to install Linux as they don't know what it even is.

That makes sense with their reasoning. But the DMA will still free people from WhatsApp regardless. There will be some open source messaging app implementing the new MLS protocol to communicate with WhatsApp users. I am more than happy to use that alongside Signal instead of WhatsApp.

But if you on instance.alpha subscribe to a community on instance.beta that would federate the community to your local instance, right? Is there something I'm missing?

That looks amazing!

Also if you say it has custom widgets as well does that mean it works more like libadwaita than a normal gtk theme?

That is true. But that'd be the case for any online/cloud 2FA service. So you could either have a local 2FA app just for Bitwarden or set up less secure but more convenient email 2FA.

I agree. But not everyone likes to do it that way and checking for email in the background should be at least an option in a modern email client in my opinion.

It's the same as with email. If I communicate with someone using Gmail, then yes, of course Google also gets some my data. But it's still better than being forced to use Gmail because my friend is on Gmail right?
