Updates regarding the IndieLand / The Completionist charity fraud allegations
  • A lot of people here are bending over backwards to justify the behavior.

    They collected money for charity. Didn't donate any of it for YEARS. Money that could have helped funding research.

    I don't know US law, but I know that's just wrong.

  • 237 Kilogramm Verpackungsmüll pro Kopf fielen 2021 in Deutschland an. Guter zweiter Platz 🥈
  • Ich muss dabei immer an die wiederverwendbaren Obst-Beutel denken, die vor ein paar Jahren im Trend waren. Leider hat sich niemand darüber Gedanken gemacht, dass ich danach durch den Laden gehe und Lebensmittel kaufe, die doppelt oder dreifach in Plastik verpackt sind. Da hilft ein kleines Beutelchen auch nicht viel.

  • Dual Boot Best Practices?
  • NTFS is the standard for Windows. Nowadays Linux can handle reading/writing NTFS pretty well, but you should probably use the very established ext4 or maybe btrfs for its partition.

  • Olaf Scholz: The most unpopular German chancellor ever
  • He is chancellor? Could have fooled me by his inaction on a myriad of topics.

  • Vote on the new KDE Plasma 6 Logo
  • Actually, hexagons are the bestagons

  • Armello studio lays off over half its staff and 'indefinitely' pauses development on its ongoing early access game because 'almost all funding and investment has evaporated from the videogame industry
  • For anyone who.ließ the setting, check out the Anime Spacebattleship Yamato 2199. It's fairly recent and there's an older one as well. This game is highly inspired by it.

  • Simple Mobile Tools is dead, long live FossifyX!
  • the original developer somehow decided to sell out to the dark side

    It's pretty ungrateful to frame someone who developed and provided software for free for a long time as a sellout.

  • 22 Countries Pledge to Triple Nuclear Capacity in Push to Cut Fossil Fuels
  • It’s worth noting that the high cost and long lead times are mostly just a US thing, many nations can go from inception to fully complete in three to five years.

    I was curious about this claim and checked out the IAEA website and just checked random cointries and found several reactors that have been under construction for way longer.

    I have never heard of a power plant or new reactor of an existing plant being build in that time frame. Do you have examples?

  • Made the switch to KDE
  • I like 90% about KDE, GNOME and XFCE.

    Depending in my changing needs and preferences I switch between them.

    If I ever find the perfect DE (or maybe WM), I'll let everyone know.

  • Niger kündigt Flüchtlingsdeal: Der Stoff, aus dem Europas Albträume sind - Politik - SZ.de
  • Nur müsste die halt Dinge sagen wie "Wer Schwarzlöhne zahlt wandert ohne Umwege in den Bau" oder "wir erhöhen die Steuern um 100 000 Beamte in den Ausländerbehörden einzustellen".

    Es tut mir Leid, aber das sind beides nur populistische Ideen, die die wahren Probleme nicht einmal benennen. Ein paar mehr Menschen ausweisen hilft nur marginal und ob mehr Personal dazu führen würde, stelle ich Mal in Frage.

    Die Zahl der Einwanderer reduziert man nicht mit mehr Abschiebung und Strafen. Das ist das Narrativ von Rechts.

    Einwanderung reduziert man durch die Verbesserung der Lebensstandard in den Herkunftsländern. Internationale Kooperation und Hilfe.

    Kommunen sind überlastet, weil man nach der letzten "Migrationskrise" die Strukturen wieder abgebaut hat, weil man nicht wahrhaben wollte, dass die Ungleichheit in der Welt kein temporäres Phänomen, sondern ein fester Bestandteil unserer Welt ist.

    Vor allem ist es unglaublich wie die AfD das Thema Migration groß gemacht hat. Ja, es ist ein Problem. Wenn man es jedoch mit anderen Aufgaben unseres Landes vergleicht, ist es nur eines von vielen und hat bei weitem nicht das Ausmaß das die AfD und die Medien suggerieren. Es geht hier auch um ein Gefühl der Menschen, nicht nur um Fakten.

  • Swedish parliament clears way for possible nuclear energy expansion
  • Kristersson has made expanding nuclear power generation a key goal for his right-wing government, after closure of several reactors forced the country to rely more on less predictable renewable energy.

    Yes, who knows if we will have any wind or sunshine at all in 2035?

    It's much less predictable than the ever changing political landscape in your country or in the few countries that can deliver the necessary nuclear material.

    And let's be clear, nuclear projects have taken much longer than planned in several countries. These are just a few little problems, not to speak of long term disposal.

    But "the wind and the sun" can't be counted on.

  • Threads Is Coming to the EU in December
  • Yes, let's switch from the dumpster fire that is twitter, to the competitor that didn't launch in the EU, because it has horrible privacy practices.

    The internet in 2023

  • Niger kündigt Flüchtlingsdeal: Der Stoff, aus dem Europas Albträume sind - Politik - SZ.de
  • Leider hilft ein Rechtsruck von Parteien nur einer Partei. Wenn auf einmal alle von Migrationsproblemen sprechen, nachdem die AgD das Thema aufgebauscht hat, wählen die Leute das Original und nicht die Nachmacher. Hätten wir einen Kanzler mit Rückgrat, würde die SPD versuchen den Weg zu weisen, anstatt in die Falle der Populisten zu tappen.

  • What dock do you use in Wayland?
  • Only the KDE/latte part of my script was relevant to the topic. Xrandr is X11

  • What dock do you use in Wayland?
  • I use scripts that change my display setup (xrandr), the active latte profile and my audio output.

    The command to switch the latte profile

    qdbus org.kde.lattedock /Latte org.kde.LatteDock.switchToLayout Monitors
    
    

    You can just create a profile for every scenario once and switch between them.

  • 13" or smaller Linux laptop - best replacement for aging chromebook?
  • How about a used Thinkpad? Like the X280. 12.5". Touch. Depending on your region you can get a pretty good deal if you are OK with some scratches or other faults

  • What Tweak, Program, ... changes a Desktop Environment from unusable to great for you?

    I have used Linux on and off for 15 years. I consider myself a casual user and stuck to the mainstream DEs (mostly KDE, XFCE and some Cinnamon). Gnome has been a hurdle for me before and after the big version 40 changes, I couldn't get my head around how they handled the workspaces and workflow. At some point I I tried out an extension hat changed all of it.

    Material Shell

    It moves the workspaces to a vertical panel and the programs onto a horizontal panel. In a workspace you can view the programs full screen or tile them.

    Several Programs inside a Workspace. It's basically they same way Gnome works. However for some reason it just makes sense in my brain. No idea why. (I'm looking at WMs that work in a similar way atm. Maybe I'll take the plunge away from DEs at some point)

    Has such a small change ever saved a Desktop Environment for you and is essential if you ever install it?

    Just install EndeavorOS lol
  • I used EndavourOS for a while until I realized I didn't use any of the distros features after the installation.

    archinstall is basically just a text menu with the same option as a GUI installer.

    I ended up with a vanilla arch install with my preferred DE. Drivers installed, network configured. Ready to go.

  • Ways to pirate albums?
  • Discovered beets a few weeks ago. Tagging, organizing, converting, ... You can specify all of it in a config file and just add a new album and it handles everything for you
