The problem isn’t that every gnome dev is bad - not by a long shot. The problem is that there are just enough gnome devs in just the right (wrong?) positions who have an “our way or the highway” philosophy that it causes problems not just for people trying to use GNOME, but for people (such as the Kate developers) who are trying to give their users a good experience.
And by being the default in so many distros, GNOME has enough clout that if they choose to abandon a standard, many people will change to whatever GNOME does, making their applications worse for people on other desktops.
In the end it’s not too dissimilar to the problems created by the dominance of Chromium and Windows. The biggest difference IMO is that Google are actually more conciliatory towards others than the GNOME team are in many cases. Which is kinda crazy given how much Google can throw their weight around on the web.
They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story’s plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...
This raises further questions, since it seems his humanoid form is a facade provided by his magic powers. Do you get him in non-corporeal form, or do you get him like that episode where he became human?
Question in the title. I don’t want to see posts from lemmynsfw, but I don’t want to just blanket disable NSFW stuff either since the tag gets used for other things. Is there a way to do this or do I have to individually block each community that shows up in my feed?
Kinda feels like writing a script that implements the sudo CLI but calls pkexec would be an easier way to do it. Given that so many systems already come with both sudo and pkexec, do we really need yet another option?
If people are frequently crossing between crosswalks, there probably aren’t enough crosswalks. If they’re pressing the buttons but crossing before the light changes, even if the buttons do cause the lights to change eventually they’re probably set up incorrectly and make wait times too long.
It took me 18 months of back and forth with my city to get them to fix a particular light. The beg buttons technically worked, but the light is where a major street intersects with a residential street, and all the beg buttons would do initially was make the pedestrian lights turn green the next time the lights changed. Problem was, if it didn’t detect a car there it would never trigger a change. What finally got it fixed was me sending the city council an 8 minute video of me waiting for the light to change before a car came along.
Yep. On Android there’s also a Lockdown mode that you can enter through the power menu when you need to turn off biometrics for the next unlock. Set a strong password. Use biometrics when you need to keep out a casual intruder, and password when you need to keep out a major intruder.
LXD also has some cool features like launching VMs in a way that’s nearly indistinguishable from containers, which can be useful if you need to do something like run a distro that uses cgroups v1 (e.g. CentOS 7) on a more modern distro.
Not because I’m particularly good at it - just because it’s incredibly niche and the few dozen other people on the planet who also work in my field would probably not be amongst those 99.
