Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
“It obviously needs some tuning, but this is the radical left blowing a small thing out of proportion.”
Do remember this is the guy who did 2 full Nazi salutes at an event for his presidential candidate, and America voted Trump in anyway, they give zero fucks about “blatant”. And training his AI on Nazi material is going to make his bot pro-Nazi, not rocket-surgery.
Before and after. Like you said, the occurrence of one unfortunately doesn’t stop humans from carrying out another elsewhere.
I mean this was kinda the plan for Twitter, and for his AI all along. This isn’t a bug, it’s working as expected.
I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is “Gnome abandoning things like they always do” I think it’s kind of silly to not expect a “default” app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.
Especially because these are the “default” apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.
Evince:
Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and Postscript.
The gitlab repo for Evince was created May 22, 2018 and looks to be last updated yesterday.
Papers:
Papers is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and DejaVu.
The gitlab repo for Papers was created March 29, 2022 and looks to be last updated 3 months ago.
I think in my years of using Gnome I’ve never used either, and had to search apps to see if I even had them installed. I have Evince under the fantastic title “document viewer” which is fixed in that commit yesterday. As for Papers, I don’t even have it installed on 49-alpha.
Depends on your goals and what you are willing to risk to achieve them. Some people throw paint on priceless art, some people light themselves on fire, some people yell at people on the internet. Any protest is a cost-risk evaluation.
So this is Devuan with some weird anti fascist nonsense thrown in? I don’t get it.
Reading that “article” likely written by AI, provided nothing positive or anyway it is different from Debian/Devuan. Seems like a “project” by someone that wants to feel like they are doing something but 6 months down the road will be chasing another shiny instead.
*Edit - holy shit that site is like AI word vomit, and their mirror list doesn’t exactly scream “we know what we’re doing”.
Instead of Garuda I would suggest CachyOS. The best of Arch but made simpler for people that don’t want to customize everything.
The US district judge Vince Chhabria, in San Francisco, said in his decision on the Meta case that the authors had not presented enough evidence that the technology company’s AI would dilute the market for their work to show that its conduct was illegal under US copyright law.
Why is this not the same bar for people who got busted on Napster back in the day, or torrents more recently?
A KDE developer made a blog post on the 21st talking about X11 stats on KDE and the numbers show the majority are already on Wayland.
At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session, and a little over 60% of all telemetry-activating users (including Plasma 5 users) are on Wayland.
Well from the bottom of the article apparently someone is looking to carry on with X11 and has started Xlibre (with what looks like TONS of new drama).
They are essentially doing the same as KDE, whose statement was linked in the article.
KDE
For now, the Plasma X11 session remains in maintenance mode. That means critical issues—like login failures or major regressions—will still be addressed. However, minor bugs are unlikely to get fixes unless funded, and new X11-specific features are off the table entirely.
VS
Gnome
First things first: Xorg isn’t being abandoned outright. It remains maintained and is receiving necessary security patches and bug fixes. However, active development has effectively halted, with most of its original contributors now focused on Wayland.
Edit - added Gnome quote effectively saying the same thing.
Slam!
duh duh duh, duh duh duh
Let the boys be boys!
Yeah I personally know 2 people that had COVID but died of pneumonia, not COVID. It’s like we learned nothing.
USA! USA! USA! USA!
I mean we did this already, Trump told people that COVID could be treated with UV lights and drinking bleach. Then told his cult it wasn’t real, it was going away really fast, and if we stop testing it’ll basically disappear over night.
I think in NY we are aware and the state is trying brace for the worse, and I see/hear people starting gardens, getting chickens, and basically have “bug out bags” incase things go sideways.
Several of these platforms used bots and/or multiple staff accounts to inflate user count/engagement to draw more people in and trigger the network effect.
The dev has in the past taken steps away, but comes back when needed. And despite not being updated in a hot sec it’s still still the best mobile app IMHO.
You don’t have to use an AUR helper, you could build it all with makepkg, but the helper just allows you to save time searching, downloading, and building.
Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn’t install TLP did you?
