I don't think people really understand how important it is that the voting members on wayland-protocols are sane, and can be reasoned with, you do not understand how close we are right now to something like a Wayland fork being legitimately discussed in the near future

@drq The drawing windows part is long solved, it's what do we want to draw on the windows that's the problem lol

There is some wild shit going on on the XDG-toplevel-icon protocol discussion, I don't know how this is going to play out but I expect this too be an important discussion in the Wayland history books for how governance is handled going forward https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

Dear British People: We pronounce it “zee” because that way the Alphabet Song rhymes.

@loresjoberg I like to switch back and forth in the same sentence because it seems to bother people

Sometimes I think maybe I should leave Arch and play around with another distro, but then I realize I'd probably break it just as much so why bother

@fenglengshun If I was going to do something immutable it probably would be something in the Universal Blue line

@thomholwerda That's pretty respectable if I do say so myself

It slipped my radar before but I will be talking about the new Plasma 6.1 edit mode

Spoiler: It's really cool as a jumping off point and I want to see how it further improves.

@roo79 That's absolutely true, on a 13 inch display it may be an issue, I feel like that can be resolved with a new settings interface that works for the new layout rather than just gluing on the old one

I know a lot of devs don't like it when it's used against them but my favorite feature we see in tools like Github and Gitlab is the ability to attach emoji like thumbs up, thumbs down, etc to a post, it gives you a good quick indication of who everybody is sick of dealing with

@nicemicro The extra best part is if you hover over the number on Gitlab it tells you who selected what

hey users on the fediverse, is there a way to tile windows on KDE Plasma 6? I've seen some stuff about Bismuth but it doesn't look like it's functional anymore, is there anything similar?

@pixel Polonium is still a pretty flaky but it's the best choice https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium

A lot of people say "all software is open source if you know assembly" this is obviously a joke but lets over analyze it

It is explicitly not Open Source (as in licensed in such a way) as the developers have not assigned it such a license, however if you stretch the definition of "source" to mean any code that runs the application rather than the actual source form of the code you could argue that all code by definition is source available.

BrodieOnLinux, (edited )
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

Therefore if you use the non technical usage which a lot of people who don't understand code use where "source available = open source" you could say that "if you know assembly all software is open source"

@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@nicemicro I don't why that was even brought up in the article, if that was how open source worked Firefox wouldn't be open source

Support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025

After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows 10. Your PC will still work, but we recommend moving to Windows 11.

YouTube actually added a good feature for once, you can now set 3 thumbnails for a video and it will automatically A/B test them for you, you could already do this manually but this massively stream lines the process.

@jonah Youtube is A/B testing the A/B testing
