Cinnamon. Desktop UI peaked in the Gnome 2/Windows XP era and anything after that is bloat for the sake of bloat.

Might try kde plasma though, if I can make it behave the same.

I think that’s the main idea behind a slow cooker? Chuck some veggies into a pot, then later you have something nice.

First we had “this meeting could have been an email”, now we have “this blog post could have been a tweet/skeet/toot”.

Most of this article is bashing an imagined strawman and the main meat of the issue is two papercuts.

This is your regular reminder that docker isn’t a sandboxing solution and shouldn’t be treated as one.

VLC’s shareholders must be pleased though. /s

That last paragraph is why maintainers step down from projects. Recieving vitrol like that for something they do in their free time is not healthy. And then we’ll have no vlc whatsoever, good or bad interface.

If you are that bothered by it, pin it, fork it or patch it.

Looks like replacing the battery of a Steam Deck is possible but an experience. Not sure how it compares to other handhelds though.

Steam still uses a 32 bit client, are you sure you have all the 32 bit graphics drivers installed?

I’m curious as to the reasoning behind wanting only verified apps. If Steam was verified, then that means Valve vouches for the security of the package. But if you’re going to this level of sandboxing you presumably don’t trust Valve enough to trust anything they say is secure.

Nextcloud. It does the job well enough.

I do not, and don’t plan to. Probably wouldn’t be that hard to set up though as someone familiar with nginx.

I guess Plex uses their own VPN under the hood then to make it more convenient?

Just out of interest as someone who has recently set up a Jellyfin server - what’s the main “value add” of using Plex compared to Jellyfin?

It seems to do everything I want, so I’m not sure why people would pay for Plex over the FOSS version.

Doesn’t have multiplayer support? Throw it away and make an X11 implementation instead. (/s)

One thing that jumps out at me reading the readme is the fact that it has a built in email server. Email is hard to get right, and I’m surprised a relatively young(?) project is working on getting all the moving pieces together rather than declaring it out of scope.

It’ll be interesting to see how it develops.

But then the security software and all its libraries has to be trusted, and isn’t a kernel module.

Steam Controller One.

Still have no idea why Microsoft did that.

If that’s the case, throwing more people, especially juniors, into the team won’t make a difference.

By the way, having a team full of people that “don’t want to work” is a sign that they lack trust in the project or leadership. Maybe management should work on that rather than spouting right wing linkedinisms. :P

For friends that I know, they can just ask me and I’ll give them a login secret. I don’t have the headspace to manage fedidrama.

Most actual Linux code changes come from large companies implementing or improving drivers for their own hardware.

The Linux foundation mostly manages the Linux “brand”. That is, all the logistics and infrastructure required to run a huge project with many stakeholders.

If you’re missing deadlines and getting customer complaints because of a new hire, that’s a failure in management, imo.

(Of course, that’s not saying management will take responsibility)
