Thank you. I’ll use that information about the USB ID for my report to KDE. However, could you elaborate somewhat? That is, would it be correct to ask for Plasma to not merely utilize the USB ID to identify whether a device is accessible, but test whether it can be accessed by MTP first, before presenting that option to the user? Regardless, per what you’ve said, I’ve consolidated my previously disparate reports under bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486931.

Additionally, I’ll definitely mention on Bugzilla that incorporating some of the patches in that package would be a feasible implementation method. Relevantly, I’d like to use that package, but because I’m not using Edge, would adding that repository do any harm (for instance, would it be added with higher priority by default than existent repositories)?

Yeah, I just installed it from 23.12’s repository. Works well for the basics. Many thanks.

Can you elaborate?

Those criticisms seem reasonable. Regarding package signing, are you referring to github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/613#issuecomment-1343…? Additionally, that default for pip seems veritably insane. I understand using system packages, but modifying packages outside the virtual environment is definitely weird.

Why is that preferable over Matrix?

1. Which Wikipedia page?

Yeah, my experience with Element and a Matrix.org account is that it’s sluggish. However, it’s been better at Beeper, so I’m uncertain whether it’s intrinsic to Matrix or merely Matrix.org and/or Element’s servers.

I don’t believe that its existence causes more fragmentation than it remediates. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939482 explains why I consider Matrix fundamentally superior most (if not all) uses, although in practice it’s because the clients (Element and FluffyChat primarily) are cross-platform and support a generally uniform set of features, in comparison to the aged (but glorious) Pidgin, and its counterparts.

I used it yesterday, via Pidgin. I’m rokejulianlockhart@xmpp.jp. Why else would I have referenced it? Don’t tell me what I’ve done. That’s not a way to have productive conversations.

Regardless, I can’t provide any more technical insight than that - I know solely that the clients provide so much more functionality that irrespective of the protocol, it’s better in practice. Fedora, openSUSE, the Bundeswehr, NATO, and Beeper - all chose Matrix over XMPP, not least partially because of Element (which they also all chose).

I wish FreeDesktop would standardize CLIs taking their application colours from the user theme so that colourblindness is catered for.

Its bridges are FOSS, but its client (an Element fork) doesn’t appear to be.

Where did you get that from? I haven’t found a relevant blog post.

Thanks.

This has been one of the major reasons I’ve not yet used PMOS. Brilliant news!

rokejulianlockhart, 16 days ago

I’d say that that makes it more probable.

rokejulianlockhart, 16 days ago (edited 11 days ago)

I’d like it opened for new users to be able to participate there without a Lemmy account, but there’s a cost-benefit ratio to everything, and the additional moderation burden and potential fragmentation of the small community appears to outweigh the benefits. Additionally, a lack of choice paralysis can be quite a significant advantage.

rokejulianlockhart, 16 days ago

It worked for me. I came here instead of Reddit, which would have alternatively been my primary choice.

rokejulianlockhart, 16 days ago

You shouldn’t criticise someone because they were late to a discussion.

git.feneas.org seems to be gone now. Any chance that its content will be transferred back to the old gitlab instance? Something like that watchlist would be great for the community.
