e8d79,

Now I got the Tivola jingle stuck in my head. My very first PC game was a Tivola game. It seems they really fell from grace in recent years when looking at their website today.

e8d79,

I remember that series, it was basically Myst but as a learning game. I played a bit of ‘Chemicus’ as a child but also never got far. These games where probably all way to hard for children. I wonder, do learning games even exist anymore? I spent many hours with games like ‘The Mystery of Mathra’.

e8d79,

Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.

e8d79,

I see little reason to use any of the BSDs. Neither for desktops nor for servers. The only benefit I see is that you can take the BSD licensed code and use it to create a closed source product like the PlayStation without having to contribute anything back. I dislike that benefit with quite some intensity.

I ran FreeBSD on my home server for a while since the old TrueNAS versions use it. The supposed simplicity of BSD rings hollow to me as it is just another thing I’d have to learn. I also don’t care much about the Unix philosophy or any other clerical reasons that distinguish the various BSDs. Computers and their OSes are a tool to me not a religion. Admittedly TrueNAS worked well for me, but reading up on the differences from Linux got old rather quickly. I migrated to the newer Debian Linux based TrueNAS Scale a couple of months ago because I feel more confident that if anything goes wrong I’d be able to fix it.

This is a very old feature request for KDE. It has not been implemented in almost 20 years so its probably very hard to do with kwin. Neal Gompa thinks this wayland protocol could make it possible in future, but with the current speed wayland protocols are accepted, this could take another 20 years.

e8d79,

Are people really getting skill issued by Nextcloud? The official docker images always worked well for me. I used the Nextcloud apache docker image, connected it with postgresql and a nginx reverse proxy that handles SSL. Never had any major problems with Nextcloud. I only stopped selfhosting because I found a cheaper alternative that handles Nextcloud hosting for me.

e8d79,

Hetzner storage share was cheaper for me than renting a vps with some block storage.

e8d79,

I really don’t care about the command I use to get elevated privileges. On my Debian servers I use su and maybe in future, if Fedora decides to make the switch, I will use run0.

e8d79,

How do your Python problems relate to a sudo/run0 discussion?

Sounds like you never upgraded from Fedora 38. Have you tried a manual upgrade using the commandline? Here are the instructions.

e8d79,

Or he is trying to get ahead of some news. Maybe a journalist contacted him about some serious allegations. So now he joins up with Musk, comes out against the ‘woke agenda’ and when the news releases, he can claim its main stream media silencing him.

e8d79,

I unsubscribed and deleted my Kagi account mainly because of their attitude to data privacy but also because of their nutjob CEO. When I subscribed I was excited because I thought they wanted to build a proper competitor to other search engine operators, but they are actually just another company that tries to shove AI into absolutely everything. So, after realising that they are an untrustworthy company full of tech maximalists trying to build the torment nexus, I immediately canceled my subscription and moved back to duckduckgo and marginalia. Maybe I give SearXNG another go, it’s just that selfhosting is a bit of a bother.

e8d79,

Bountysource was owned by a company called The Blockchain Group and it looks like the parent company went bankrupt taking Bountysource down with them. Its hard to say if Bountysource could have survived if it wasn’t sold to some cryptocurrency companies.

e8d79,

According to Wikipedia he left in 2017. Majority owner is a Jack Dorsey company called Block, Inc.

Now contrast this with how the COSMIC devs interact with KDE.I don’t know. Is being a massive cunt a requirement if you want to be a GNOME developer?

e8d79, (edited )

If the cosmic devs start to behave like the gnome devs, that hate is well deserved. Also, if gnome just abused their own users nobody outside of their userbase would care. Breaking something and then expecting everybody else to clean up the mess is what people hate about gnome. It is a pitty because it sullies the name of gnome as a whole. There are a lot of people doing great work at gnome that now get lumped in with these sad excuses for software developers. For example, I think the gnome UX on a small form factor laptop is unrivaled. My surface tablet never worked better; but I still don’t recommend it to anyone else because I know who the devs are and how they conduct themselves.

e8d79,

Haven’t heard anything about a fiasco, the KDE 6 upgrade went smoothly for me. I just use Polonium for my auto-tiling needs.

e8d79,

I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch. When I installed Linux I wasn’t expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.

e8d79,

For streaming there is Wayland to X11 bridge. I have been using it regularly with MS Teams and it works great.

e8d79,

I am using Wayland and the only issue that is a bit annoying is that I can’t use fractional scaling because it breaks FreeRDP clients. Both Remmina and FreeRDP have issues when scaling is active. For now I just increased the font size in KDE its not perfect but good enough until this is hopefully fixed.
