"Our plan is to grow the Ubuntu Desktop team by at least another 50% over the next year and we are opening a range of positions across all levels of seniority in the coming weeks. At Canonical we think the future is bright for the Linux desktop and if you have the passion and skills to be at the cutting edge of performance, security, immutability and accessibility then we want to hear from you."
@AntennaPod I ditched Pocketcasts for AntennaPod just a months ago and I never looked back. The most advanced function I'm loving so far is cross device synching powered by the #gpoddersync#nextcloud app and my desktop podcast client #kasts. It works like a charm: I can start listening to an episode on my desktop and continue were I left off on my android phone using AntennaPod. Amazing. Thank you guys for this wonderful piece of software!
#DebConf25 to be held in Brest, #France. Hope to see you all there for the most amazing wine and CHEESE party ever!!! Some #Debian Development may also occur at said event. :) :debian:
@mirkobrombin@Linux that's a nice idea. Personally the most frustrating user experience I had in Plasma was trying to create a top panel with global menus and failing multiple times to add plasmoids into the panel (they don't immediately show up, so I end up adding them multiple times). Also panel resizing is really weird.
@paulox@wsvincent it does apply in southern Switzerland (#Ticino). At least in some parts of it (actually, not in Locarno). Please give us also the rules for perfectly roasted arrosticini. We definitely need them. #Carnevale#Tesserete#OrPenagin
@paulox@wsvincent yeah, it would be nice. But Switzerland isn't the cheapest country to go, expecially if you want to host a big international event. Also, arrosticini are much better consumed "on location", after some bruschette and local montepulciano 👍
I deeply regret buying a laptop for Linux with a hidpi screen. With two external 1080p screens, the scaling is all over the place and barely usable. Dangerously close to getting rid of the laptop and replacing it with a 1080p display one.
@popey@keyboardg last time I checked, #kubuntu had to skip plasma 6 for this cycle. I guess it is going to be eventually backported from 24.10. I think your best bet is going to be #kdeneon
Google has announced a "Mint" color for the Pixel 8 series (only available from the Google Store with 128GB storage), alongside a new Pixel Feature Drop for January 2024! This Feature Drop is a bit unusual since it isn't accompanied by a new QPR update, but it does bring some interesting features.
@cassidy@MishaalRahman What about battery life? I was reeaally attracted by the Pixel 8 until I read it struggles with battery life in 5G and I was completely turned off.
Huh, I almost fell for what I assume is a phishing SMS. I do indeed have an O2 contract expiring on 20.01.2024 and O2 often spams me with SMS messages from random numbers.
But here the link is fishy! Instead of o2online.de which is their actual domain, the domain here is de-simverwalten.digital and the line braking just hides this. Clever little bastards! I wonder how they know when my cancellation date is...
@Techaltar little filthy bastards... that's impressive. I recently received a fraud email message masked as my company Exchange server. Basically they copied the server message you receive when you type the wrong email address and the message bumps back. They even attached a false copy of my original message. It was a trojan of course.
My timeline is becoming quite interesting. I'm trying to follow both familiar faces and new contacts to create a positive, constructive, and relaxing experience.
Many of you have decided to follow me, and I'm really pleased about that.
In the meantime, good morning/afternoon/evening/night (according to your timezone) to all of you, friends of the #fediverse!
