I gotta visit London

In the original post on GitHub it’s mentioned that it was a manual review

I don’t really think that’s fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that’s the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it’s not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it’s not legal in Canada. There’s one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

It’s really fast, has nice vim keybindings and has the potential to be a great open source VSCode alternative.

I don’t use it yet since it doesn’t have a built in Python debugger but I’ve been watching it closely. I really want to switch to it someday soon

I just want a small phone again. Wish they’d bring back the Minis

I remember having to reverse engineer an API owned by my own company because our team was too far removed from theirs. The whole situation was crazy

Ah damn, was worth a try I guess. Does seem like it’s a hardware issue then and needs a repair

Have you tried a BIOS update? I had an issue with my screen and thought I needed repair but it turns out some hardware issues are linked to the BIOS. These are the instructions steam support gave me, just on the off chance they help you:

To update to that BIOS you will need to opt into the ‘Main’ OS update channel:\

• Turn on Developer settings (steam button > settings > system > ‘Enable Developer Mode’)
• Turn on ‘Show Advanced update Channels’ in developer settings (steam button > settings > developer settings)
• Set Deck to ‘Main’ in OS Update Channel (steam button > settings > system)
• Select Apply under ‘Software Updates’ above and then select the ‘Restart’ once it is done.
• Once the Deck restarts and has loaded to the OS, unplug the external monitor to test if the Deck’s internal screen is now displaying correctly.

I’ve loved the coverage of reddit from tech news sites. Pretty much all of them sound like the authors are also disgruntled users. It can’t be good for reddit’s stock price (even if it’s up at this moment)

Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.

It’s looking great though! I’m very hyped to try it

I remember back like ten years ago, you had to run Steam inside wine if you wanted to even begin the process of getting a game to run on Linux.

It’s incredible how far we’ve come since then. Most of the time I don’t even bother checking compatibility before installing something. Most of the time it just works as if I was running Windows.

You’d think so, but my city’s subreddit used to advocate for transit, better support for the homeless, healthcare etc and generally be very left leaning. They still are some of the time, but I’ve started seeing a lot of upvoted comments very literally calling for the implementation of drug use policies (ie death) from places like Saudi Arabia or the Philippines.

I guess it’s possible it’s part of the Western move right ward but it’s jarring. I get it, the city’s drug problem is at its current worst, but advocating for the actual murder of users is insane and I can’t believe comments like that are at the top of threads. Even just a year ago those comments would be downvoted out of existence

It is weird. The left leaning Canadian subreddit (r/onguardforthee) is generally pro Palestine but my city’s subreddit is generally pro Israel. I’ve been watching my city’s subreddit move right politically quite quickly.

Something I’ve noticed is that reddit as a whole seems to have gotten a lot more right wing since the whole API stuff. I’m not sure if it’s actually because of users leaving, or if moderation took a huge hit and it’s kind of snow balling into hateful commenting becoming normal.

I got it even though I’m in Canada so I couldn’t if I wanted to. Ignoring that though, I wouldn’t. I doubt it will fail as people hope it will but I can’t see it doing well

It’s probably cocaine

Yeah that’s me. I signed up for and used beehaw for a month before switching to my current lemmy.ca. My old account would definitely be counted the same way as someone who signed up, got bored and left

That does seem more like their kind of style

Fish’s autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can’t really think of a reason I’d need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.
