I’m surprised that the fediverse is as popular as it is, I would’ve guessed <500k. That’s awesome. I’m also shocked that Threads is apparently that popular, I completely forgot it existed immediately after it launched. I also didn’t know that Snapchat still existed, so maybe I’m just out of touch on social media stuff.
I think I got Snapchat and Vine mixed up or combined in my head. I’ve never used either one, I thought it shut down years ago, but what I’m remembering is Vine shutting down.
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
I’ve been running Fedora for years. I tried out Arch and OpenSUSE a bit this year just to see if I was missing anything, and went right back to Fedora afterward.
Not as fussy as Arch and better package availability than SUSE (for my needs at least). Also dnf is my favorite package manager despite being relatively slow.
This isn’t even a recent problem, Mappa has doing this shit for ages. Taking on way too many projects at once putting way too much pressure on staff for not enough pay. The anime industry is brutal on their staff, and Mappa is probably the worst.
I’ve seen a few people wanting another usb-c port. It would be neat, but personally as long as they keep the headphone jack, I’m happy with the one port. I just want to charge and listen to stuff at the same time, which I can do on the Deck unlike most modern phones.
New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken....
Things are slowly improving, but public chargers do kinda suck right now. There’s an app called PlugShare that you can download which lets you see reviews for all chargers in your area. It’s saved some headaches a few times cause I can just avoid chargers with bad ratings.
My top priority for a desktop is stability, which puts Gnome squarely at the top of my list. Gnome may not get features first, but they’ll do it right in the long run.
The go-to meme is VRR on Wayland in Gnome, which is taking forever with a major roadblock being how the cursor is drawn on screen. KDE has VRR support now, but (surprise!) it doesn’t work properly when a cursor is on screen. So you can either have no implementation or a broken implementation. I don’t mind Gnome choosing not to ship a half-working feature. I also understand the KDE team’s decision to have something in place for some use cases even if it doesn’t consistently work, but that’s not what I personally want out of a desktop.
Both KDE and Gnome are fucking amazing projects, this circle-jerk of “gnome bad because development slow” is a waste of time. Let’s spend more time bullying Microsoft instead. Have any of you used the Windows desktop environment recently? It’s fucking trash.
For every major Fedora update I’ll try to perform the upgrade from the Gnome Software app just to see if it works, and every time it breaks and I fall back to good ol’ dnf system-upgrade. This is the first time upgrading from Software worked for me, and it was fast too. Nice to see all the Software improvements finally paying off.
