theshatterstone54,

Please don’t delete your comment. I find it very annoying to follow a conversation when one party has deleted their half of correspondence. Here’s a comment tgat suggests otherwise, seeing as they had a Stand on FOSDEM '24: forums.ubports.com/post/78315

An article about their changes in release cycle that suggests they’re still updating it: ubports.com/…/announcement-of-release-model-chang… (More Specifically, the first paragraph under the "What will happen to the current Ubuntu Touch OTAs based on Ubuntu 20.04 suggests they will be working on releasing 24.04 when that happens.

So that’s about the “still in development recently”.

As for “only 2 guys” a quick look seems to suggest you’re right.

Regardless, if I had to switch to or at least try Mobile Linux, I’d be going for Postmarket OS, Mobian or Droidian in that order of priority as Postmarket OS seems to be the most popular and well-maintained of them all while also being the most cool and featureful one (imo).

theshatterstone54,

Yeah, I’m actually in both camps as I used K9 before even starting to use Thunderbird, and I was already a user of both when they announced this whole thing which made me super excited mainly because of Thunderbird’s automatically detecting incoming and outgoing servers.

theshatterstone54,

Yes, I’m on Fedora 40 and I can’t recommend this enough! Also, enable fastestmirror and parallel downloads (and also defaultyes if you want)!

theshatterstone54,

Good stuff! COSMIC is one of the major tech releases I’m actively looking forward to this year!

theshatterstone54,

I’d argue that no system truly works for larger groups.

more susceptible to corruption

I couldn’t disagree more. Any system is very susceptible to corruption. It’s all about accountability and transparency, which those in power will never make themselves do, because it is actively harming them by stripping them of opportunities to amass more power and influence.

And that is true in any system. Communist states became totalitarian dictatorships, while Capitalist nations also grow more corrupt because of greed and power lust, to the point where you see things like “the revolving door” in the USA, or the Tory party donors essentially paying for peerages in the UK. And of course, there’s also lobbying.

Corruption is everywhere and the common man gets screwed over regardless of the system or people in charge, because the good people are always too good to compete, fight, and play dirty against these politicians so the winners are always the evil ones.

Best alias confirmed

proceeds to add it to .bashrc and .zshrc

theshatterstone54,

Wait, what?

theshatterstone54,

I HAVE heard about thefuck!

theshatterstone54,

How are you running COSMIC? I’m on Fedora.

theshatterstone54,

And it works and seems to be regularly updated! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

theshatterstone54, (edited )

You’re not missing out on much

Seems that you’re right. It’s almost usable currently, but it lacks some essential things for me, mainly some further snappiness and customisable key binds (old habits die hard and I’m not adapting my habits and workflow to new keybinds).

But after these get fixed, I can see myself potentially running COSMIC. This makes me even more excited for what the future will bring.

Edit: Also, sloppy focus aka focus-follows-mouse

And an option for static workspaces i.e a set number of workspaces that are constantly there, instead of dynamic workspaces that close with your windows and change your workflow because you closed the window on Workspace 4 so workspace 5 is now workspace 4 so when you go looking for the window on workspace 5, it’s not there.

theshatterstone54,

I don’t like light themes because they can be too bright, even on lower brightness but this… I kinda like it. In fact, it reminds me of this Brodie Robertson video on Light Themes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dYgp3f-7w (I’m counting on the Piped bot to offer a more private way of playing the video)

TLDW: Modern Light themes are bad because they’re blinding and too bright. A good light theme will not be just white but something that isn’t as bright while still looking good and not blinding you.

theshatterstone54,

GNOME doesn’t break, extensions do.

theshatterstone54,

*he says as GNOME is literally THE desktop to go against EVERY OTHER DESKTOP on Wayland issues and to keep on delaying major fixes further for bullshit reasons. Delaying or not adding features users want, for ideological reasons is the exact reason that Wayland is still not ready even though development started in 2008.

theshatterstone54,

Okay, I agree with that. CSD/SSD is a great example

theshatterstone54,

Is Blackrock a major investor in either or both of them?

theshatterstone54,

Not really. They just get replaced by the people leading the revolution (there are exceptions of course, like Robespierre in the French Revolution).

theshatterstone54,

Github-associated emails

I hope this gets taken seriously by CISA and they are ntact Microsoft and the email providers to see what sort of information can be found out about these “individuals”. I’m usually against tracking but in this case, it can help us understand more about the malicious actors, like, are their IPs coming from a certain state, or are they all isong a VPN, and if so, which one? And then, if applicable, getting in touch with the VPN provider and getting as much data as possible.

How about using that data to aid in investigations (as it jas beem done mamy times before)? I mean, imagine this turns out to be a state actor! We need to know what’s happening. We need to know if these are connected. And this information can help predict their next move.

To quote Gandalf from the LOTR films (not sure if that quote is in the books):

“Send word to all our allies… The enemy’s moving against us. We need to know where he will strike”.

Also, first they tried to strike Linux systems, then they tried to strike the Web. What’s next? If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them here, as we can get an idea of what projects need to be more vigilant.

theshatterstone54,

They’re not yet switching to GTK3. They’re backporting GTK3 features to GTK2.

theshatterstone54,

Yeah, but actual Linux, even immutable, still feels more open. I don’t like the default look and feel of the system? There’s only so much I can do on Android, while on mobile Linux, I can even install SXMO, which is a mobile tiling window manager.

theshatterstone54,

I’ve been wondering about how feasible an all-systemd system would be. Like, take Arch and do a manual install but replace everything possible with systemd. Resolved, networkd, (whatever the fstab alternative is called), systemd-boot (of course) etc. And just have everything replaced by systemd as much as possible. It’s an interesting idea and ClearLinux essentially did just that so I might check it out for inspiration.

theshatterstone54,

Holy crap, that dude is just next level. He’s talking about getting absolutely everything encrypted, and here I am, not even having my root partition encrypted.

theshatterstone54,

Like honestly, what the fuck is wrong with people? I remember adding random people on Snap (back then, I used it a lot for scambaiting so I’d talk to deposit scammers a lot) and in my recommended, there was a person called “(name-of-girl) Dog” so you would think maybe it’s just a person posting pictures of their dog on their stories, right? Wrong. (Content warning) >! It’s a girl selling videos of her fucking her dog !< I just noped out of there, didn’t even try to find out if it was real (should hopefully be fake, as regular pic sellers usually are, but you never know).

theshatterstone54,

So in short, does the evidence linked mean that Jewish history and origin don’t align sith the Bible? Shocker. As if anything in there shouldn’t be taken with a bucketful of salt.

theshatterstone54,

So… the origin aligns with the bible, but what happened after that, doesn’t? Sorry if I’m being annoying, I’m still a bit sleepy and trying to make sense of this.
