  • You do realise that every single social platform favours your way of thinking? You are pretending like you aren't fully in charge.

    All you need to do is shout "my feelings!" and you get results. Like toddlers shouting for cookies.

  • What about the phrase "sunlight is the best disinfectant"?. You can allow people to air their opinions (regardless of whether you believe they're bigoted or not) and it'll hurt their cause. Alex Jones is nothing but a meme now because of having a platform.

    Doesn't banning these people prove their ideas and conspiracies right and force them deeper underground?

    If they aren't promoting literal violence, leave them be. Just because they upset some people isn't a reason to ban them.

    The Westboro Baptist Church is a prime example of airing their foul opinions causing almost a complete exodus and switch on behalf of the church members. If you think you're right, try to convince them.

  • USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert
  • One of the ones he bought is sold on Apple's website, so I don't think so.

  • Does anyone actually use Enlightenment?
  • The virtual desktops functionality is miles above any other DE, specifically. The settings are really simple, and the options in the right click context menus are really well featured.

  • Are packages from flathub always safe?
  • The fact that the website hasn't been updated since 2020 and still has an open CVE shines the light on Flatpak's attention to security.

    Regarding point 3, if that's true, then why are all of the most-dowloaded packages on Flathub mislabelled as 'sandboxed' when they have full write access to a user's home directory? That isn't a sandbox.

    Flatpak currently has a 7.2 vulnerability that has gone unaddressed since 2017. The maximum vulnerability rating is a 9, so this is quite major.

  • COSMIC Skies of a Colorado July - Cosmic DE Update
  • I really hope this isn't just another Budgie DE which uses core GNOME tech. Reassuring to see the new Rust code.

  • I want ease of use, polish, and the i3 workflow. Should I use fedora or nix os?
  • Absolutely Fedora. I found NixOS to be over-engineered.

  • Void Linux
  • Wayland also has much slower results when playing games or rendering. Sometimes up to a 20% reduction compared to X.

    I don't like using X, but Wayland isn't ready for power users yet. I don't think people generally would notice the difference.

  • Void Linux
  • I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

    It's insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn't have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.

  • Does anyone actually use Enlightenment?
  • Enlightenment has a fantastic feature set and some very interesting ways of using a Linux desktop.

    But...the themes are just so 2005. It's hard to look past that, or at least make it a little bit 2015 at the least.

  • Was Fedora always so unstable?
  • Fedora 30 - 36 were phenomenal releases and I mostly used them, recommended them elsewhere.

    I had to start using the Spins because the default GNOME desktop is just becoming unusable. Stripping functionality to make it prettier, not fixing longstanding issues.

    Then Fedora had that kerfuffle with the licensing issues with codecs, and I couldn't play a certain type of HEVC video that the vast majority of my video library is encoded in.

    Then, more recently, I had issues with Python in their repos. That was the last straw. I'll definitely check it out again in a few years to see if they've fixed a lot of these problems, but I wouldn't recommend the distro in its current state.

  • Are packages from flathub always safe?
  • I'd recommend that you stop using Flatpak immediately, it's a horrific security nightmare.

  • Hollywood writers and actors are striking together for first time since 1960—here’s why
  • If there's any rich screenwriters on here who got sad because I criticised paying $20 for a ticket to watch their sub-par work, I do apologise.

    Film critics in the 70s and 80s were pretty brutal and can roundly deconstruct incompetency better than I ever could.

  • Can you eat wood?

    I'm trying to resolve an argument.

    EDIT: Yes, you can. But you can't digest it. The only edible parts of a tree are some specific types of tree bark. Thanks, everyone!

    WebCord - an OSS Discord wrapper with Linux audio screen-sharing

    https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord

    Really cool project I found, and is working great for me so far. You can even build a custom version of WebCord using one of the open PRs which allows you to share audio on a screen share. Used it with friends last night and it ran solid for hours.

    How do you deal with people who use subscriptions?

    "Look it up on Netflix" is the phrase everybody's heard, how do you deal with that?

    I've done a mixture of different approaches, either by getting the film somewhere else (legally, of course) or just saying I don't use X service.
