With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/with-a-nintendo-switch-2-on-the-way-i-hope-valve-makes-a-steam-deck-2/

@gamingonlinux I think the Deck 2 should use an ARM CPU instead of an x86 one. They're smaller, more efficient, and offer significantly better battery life.

@dansup why is the highlighted tab smaller than the non-highlighted ones? In most UIs I've seen, it's the other way around.

Good news everybody, companies can now place adverts in your Start Menu that lead to executable code. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/24/24138949/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-recommendations-setting-disable

@GossiTheDog the day the Nvidia wayland fix is released, I'm wiping my Windows drive.

If a desktop environment follows you, would you feel the obligation to try it?

Like its almost as if this was meant to be, it looks similar to MacOS which I use atm... spooky

@dansup Gnome is kinda like MacOS in some ways, but they're very different and I would hesitate to call them similar at all.

Gnome is very heavily focused around the idea of hiding information unless you specifically request it. The desktop is entirely blank outside of the top panel, and app management happens almost exclusively within the overview.

It also is designed to be used on pretty much any input device, meaning it has a lot of gesture support and multiple ways to do the same action. For example, the overview can be opened with the super key, the hot corner, or a three-finger swipe.

For this reason, I like Gnome on laptops, where screen space is at a premium. However, I typically like to use something else on a desktop, where I lack a touchpad for gestures and preserving screen space is a little less of a necessity.

Nobody seems to have noticed it but the Mastodon project have been granted funding by @NGIZero in the Entrust fund.

This is amazing, but the best part is that this funding is targeted at implementing… Quote Posts 🎉

This effort started several months ago and we already did some preliminary work, but this will be a big feature for our next 4.4 version. This funding will cover the ActivityPub work, as well as backend, web frontend and official mobile app implementation.

@annika most of these complaints are a result of Twitter culture, not a cause of them. After all, Tumblr is entirely designed around quote posts, and (for the most part) has a whole lot better of a culture than Twitter or Mastodon.social do.

ultrasquid, to linux
@ultrasquid@wetdry.world avatar

I want a reality TV show where a hardcore linux nerd and someone who knows absolutely nothing about technology trade their setups for a week. The Linux nerd gets one hour to explain their setup to the tech noob, then they're both on their own. The noob would have to wrap their heads around the alien Hyprland and Neovim bindings and figure out how to get things done without unfree software, and the linux nerd would spend most of their time complaining about the design decisions of Apple/Microsoft/Google and being paranoid that the unfree software is CIA spyware. No matter what, it would be quite entertaining.

ultrasquid, to NixOS
@ultrasquid@wetdry.world avatar

After a lot of messing around, I finally managed to get Plasma 6 running on NixOS! I'm gonna continue messing with the config for a few days, then I'm hoping I can set this up on my primary drive.

@torepang I had to use the unstable branch, and also add '--upgrade' to the 'sudo nixos-rebuild switch' command (the latter is why it took me so long to figure out)
