So it’s “You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!”?

It’s about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that’s your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

Organic died shortly ago (they’d been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.

The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a “one-off” but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing’s been on the wall for a while.

But not Youtube. Which is Google.

Curious.

I’m done with Google! Watch me rant on Google’s Youtube! Earns me money!

So… yeah.

Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?

• Redundant (it’s not the only security mechanism)
• False / misleading / not-a-Linux issue (more of an internet culture issue).
• FUD. Wayland is not the only way to go; X11 is pretty mature.
• FUD with intent to sell Microsoft’s “Secure Boot”.

Nice try but doesn’t deserve wasting more time on. -4.4/10.

Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They’re much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!

I’m all fine with donating less to Gnome! I’ll start by donating $0.

, and we burned it at the stake.

Gotta love that about FOSS communities. Every time someone tries to do something interesting, we burn them at the stake. It’s a classic of the Mozilla fandom, for example.

Yes, funnily enough.

With the KDE / Kubuntu news, I might have to give it another try soon-ish, by the time of the next LTS most assuredly.

That has always been my main criticism about wayland: it’s actually vaporware.

It’s just a spec (and not even a complete one) that says “now, you go do our work and implement all this”. So everyone has to go and do their own thing, which is the usual big corpo strategy to kill small corpo and/or FOSS. So I wonder why don’t people see it. Pulseaudio, wayland, systemd, all came in at about the same time as the “microsoftism” infection in Linux development.

From what I recall, for the first 5-or-so years there was not even a reference implementation (and I don’t know if that is still the case, but do would expect it is).

Note, they said “compile” and “deploy”, not “function” or “work”.

That’s basically “#vibecoding on release” talk.

Oh don’t worry it’s not limited to Nvidia GPUs.

Last I even bothered trying Wayland, it still could not even start up a functional full desktop session on an Intel mobile iGPU.

On the one hand that means future Kubuntus (for a while) won’t have remote desktop, remote UI commands, global hotkeys, nor other such useful features. Or, heck, won’t have accessibility. On the other hand, from the progress I’ve seen KDE are among the better positioned to change that, so who knows. Prepping for a Kubuntu LTS?

On the third hand, it’s still Ubuntu. The Wayland fixes are probably going to be shipped as snaps for the Pro version.

“Always” is a long time on the internet, until it isn’t.

What matters is to celebrate the now. Today’s ten thousand. (@jbk@discuss.tchncs.de already linked it for me).

Plex has paywalled my server!

Skill issue tbh.

Shittiest post of the week in the Fedivere, up there ↑.

If you are going to be this shitty, dismissive and misinformative, you can head back to Twitter.

They literally describe their infra as “Gnome OS”. They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the “Gnome brand”. They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won’t be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and “GnomePilot”, considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.

They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.

Not a problem. If I managed a distro, I’d have already dropped Gnome back in, like, 36, in favor of MATE and XFCE anyway.
